Shincheonji 2020

Regarding the founding anniversary

of Shincheonji Church of Jesus

 

2020, this year, Shincheonji Church of Jesus will not hold an event for its founding anniversary(on March 14, 1984). In addition, all worship services are being held online, and gatherings and meetings are suspended entirely until the new coronavirus epidemic is over. We also notified our congregation that those who have not been tested for the virus will not be allowed to attend service even after the epidemic subsides.

If a church is compared to parents, its congregants would be like children. For the church, nothing is more important than the health and safety of Shincheonji's members. In situations where many congregants are suffering from the virus and feeling anxious, we make it clear that the church has no reason at all to resume services and gatherings.

(Since 18 February, when the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed in the Daegu Church, all services and gatherings have been suspended entirely.)

But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him

if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.
When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you,

then in later days you will return to the LORD your God and obey him.
  For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or

 forget the covenant with your forefathers, which he confirmed to them by oath.
Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day

God created man on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other.

Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of?
Has any other people heard the voice of God speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived?
Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testings,

by miraculous signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, or

by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the LORD

your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?
You were shown these things so that you might know that

the LORD is God; besides him there is no other.   

  From heaven he made you hear his voice to discipline you.

On earth he showed you his great fire, and

you heard his words from out of the fire.

*Deut 4:29-36*
