Media and Its Influences
In the world of journalism and the media, it is more skill and manipulation than display of the truth. It is also a world of competition and power. Especially in journalism, it is no longer of importance to report about dangers, heroes, and information. With the growth of tabloids, competing stations, ad sponsors, stocks, and ratings, it is now about reporting stories that the public will find amusing. The bottom line comes down to what will raise the ratings.
A man holding his daughter hostage in his apartment for decades is far more interesting than a wildfire that damaged hundreds of houses or an earthquake across the world that killed thousands.
I spoke with a college student who worked on the school newspaper. He came to me with accusations based on some tip he received that we were holding an event there. It was obvious that he was asking questions not to get them answered, but to get the answers that would help make his story.

New pictures added to Life of Jung Myung Seuk
Teacher Joshua Jung (Jung, Myung Seok) was born as the third child among six sons and one daughter. He was born in 1945, at the fourth hour of the day. The address where he was born is 151, Sukmak-ri (Wolmyung-dong or Dalbak-gol), Chinsan-myun, Guemsan-gun, Choongchungnam-do. Sukmak-ri is a high-altitude mountain village at the foot of Mt. Indae. Mt Daedoon stands behind the village like a backdrop.
At age six, Teacher Jung began calling God although no one had taught him about God. At age nine, he started going to church. From early on (since elementary school) he came to understand the emptiness of life. He searched for the answer to the fundamental question of human life and from the fifth grade he started to hear the voice of Jesus. As a teenager, Teacher Joshua Jung committed himself to a life of prayer and serious faith.
He traveled to many churches in order to listen to revival speakers. Their themes were mostly apocalyptic: the judgment of fire, the Rapture, etc. They preached a literal belief in the bible. Teacher Joshua Jung hoped for the coming of the Lord Jesus more eagerly than anybody else because he felt hopeless due to extreme poverty.

Was Jesus Resurrection Spiritual or Physical?
A comic by Shaun McMillan that illustrates how only spiritual people can see Jesus in his resurrected state.
Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last. Luke 23:46
There is little actual doubt whether Jesus died or not. However, as to whether his resurrection was physical or spiritual a great debate has persisted. In Providence the consequences of a spiritual resurrection does not negate the outcome of Jesus?purpose and mission, part of which was to call the world to repentance and forgive the sins of those who do. Jesus accomplished this because he was chosen by God, and for that he was able to forgive sins even before his death.
