Quotes:
1) Matthew 22:36-40
"Teacher, what is the greatest commandment in the law?" And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets."
2) Sun Myung Moon, 1/22/1975
"I do not have a secret. My method and principle is to apply myself to the goal and purpose of God with all my heart, my mind and my soul. My determination is greater than anyone else's. I am always in the forefront of the battle."

Message: "Owning Your Belief"
Sunday Service: 12/9/2018 @ Seattle Family Church
Quote: Rev. Sun Myung Moon, 1959.09.27
"God has been the God of sorrow throughout history, in every age. [...] God has taken responsibility for all the pain and sorrow throughout history, and we should feel indebted and grateful that He has done so. Yet without recognizing this fact, we bring our own pain and sadness to God. For this, we are bound to face judgment. God will recognize the person who weeps alone over his or her own sorrow, unable to pray to God about such personal pain, knowing that God has already endured so much pain and sorrow through all the ages of history. We must be the sons and daughters who can say, “God, Your pain is so great compared to mine! I will manage my own situation. Please let me do Your work, even if I have to face death.” If you constantly ask God for blessings, you will not be able to raise your head before God. You should recognize how sinful that attitude is. [...]"

Quote: Genesis 3:16-17
"16 To the woman he said, 'I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.'
17 To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life." "

Message: "Gratitude"
Sunday Service 10/28/2018 @ Seattle Family Church
Quote: Rev. Sun Myung Moon; The Way of Tradition; Book 2
"We have nothing that is inherently ours. God gave us life unconditionally, without requiring that any contract be sign or any interest paid or any loan paid back within a certain number of years. The only way we can repay Him or show our gratitude is by giving to others."

Message: "The Mother and the Son"
Sunday Service 10/21/2018 @ Seattle Family Church
Quote: True Mother's Anthology, Book 1, Pg. Part 2, pg. 110
"What is America's mission? You proudly say in front of the world that you are the eldest-son nation. Becoming the eldest-son nation was possible because Heaven blessed your ancestors, the Protestants. Why did he bless them? He blessed them in order to create an environment in which the returning Lord could work. Rather than a system of royal authority, the returning Lord would have been able to work better with democracy. Jesus Christ, who came to ancient Israel, could not establish a nation within the Roman Empire. Yet Heaven must succeed. If the returning Lord, the Messiah, did not plant his feet there, on earth, human beings would have no hope.
God's hope and the hope of each person is to transform the world into one that is free and peaceful. They want to live happy lives. However, within Satan's system are many mountains, which is why Heaven - having the ability to prepare a path allowing all to climb those mountains and reach the high plateau - took the side of democracy, whose adherents believe that God exists. The best example of this is America.”

Quote: Genesis 3:7-13
"Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
9 But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”
11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”"

Quote: Genesis Ch 3 Verse 1-6
"Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?
2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,
3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.
5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. "

Men Are Destined to Go the Road of Restoration: Sun Myung Moon - March 14, 1965
God did not intend to have Jesus be a pastor or religious leader who only spoke in glowing terms from a big pulpit. The true religious leader is crying out to multitudes of people who are miserably defeated in this world."

Message: "God's Work in Africa"
Sunday Service 9/16/2018 @ Seattle Family Church
Quote: Excerpts from the speech of Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon at the Africa Summit - Opening Session, January 18, 2018
"Jesus told the thief on the cross, “You will be with me in Paradise”. But he didn’t say ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ – Paradise is the waiting room. Because Jesus was not fully embraced, God could not send the only begotten daughter immediately. He had to prepare a foundation.
The Holy Spirit was severely persecuted until there was a victory in the Holy Roman Empire. Then the spirit of Christianity spread through the Holy Roman Empire and the rest of Europe, and finally with the Pilgrims across the Atlantic
But Christianity didn’t understand God’s essence. Christian nations conquered and stole from their colonies. The continent which suffered the most has been the African continent. In the name of Christianity, colonial nations placed their own interests ahead of their colonies. The great era of the Atlantic civilization ended because of selfishness.
We need to understand God and the essence of the Messiah. For 2000 years, Christianity has made quite serious mistakes. Communism emerged from within the Christian cultural realm, and many religious denominations have emerged. Christians have not understood who the true owner is. They prepared for the coming of the Messiah, but they have not yet awakened from their slumber."

Message: "The Standard of Judgment"
Sunday Service 9/2/2018 @ Seattle Family Church
Quote: The Age of New Dispensation - Rev. Sun Myung Moon, May 14, 1978
"Whether one does good work has to do with heart; when you judge by this standard then gratitude is absolutely essential."
Matthew 7: 1-3
"Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?"

Message: "Let Us Celebrate the Blessing"
Sunday Service 8/26/2018 @ Seattle Family Church
Quote: Message to the Brides and Grooms: Rev. Sun Myung Moon - July 1, 1982
"Heaven is a world of heart, where all may trust and unite with one another in love. But there will be no true heaven for anyone while people are still in want, in need, or in pain -- physically or spiritually. You must all accept your responsibility to work as world citizens so that the legacy you leave your children and grandchildren will be the harmonized world of God's love.

God bless you in all that you undertake, and may He give you the vision and strength you need to realize His kingdom on earth. That is the task facing us all."

"If America succeeds in this mission then the glory of this nation shall be astonishing and have no end. America will then remain the most prosperous country on earth. Love is the key. It is love alone that will connect all things together and bring them to the altar of God. When that happens God will turn around and give the whole thing back to you as His blessing. That will mark the beginning of the Kingdom of God on earth."

Quote: Divine Principle: Ch. 3, Section 3.1 - The Last Days
“Human history has been the history of God’s providence of restoration. Despite its evil beginning, the world under the sovereignty of Satan must one day be transformed into the world where goodness reigns, where the three great blessings are fulfilled centered on God. The Messiah comes at this time of transformation.
The Last Days is this time, when the evil world under satanic sovereignty is transformed into the ideal world under God’s sovereignty. Hell on earth will be transformed into the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.”

Message: "Confronting your Hooks"
Sunday Service 7/29/2018 @ Seattle Family Church
Quote: True Parents Day From The Historical Point Of View - Rev. Sun Myung Moon, April 18, 1977
"Because Jesus prayed for his own enemies, especially at the moment he was being destroyed, he transcended all satanic realms, and totally liberated himself from accusation by Satan. From then on he was free to go to the throne of God and exercise the grace and power of salvation. Satan is always looking for some loophole or hook of fallen nature, and since most people have a thousand hooks Satan does not have to make much effort to snag them. But Jesus' life was absolutely pure, and no matter how much Satan tried to find some weakness in him, Jesus was not vulnerable."

Quote: Acts 16: 25 - 29
"But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God and the prisoners were listening to them, and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundation of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and every one's fetters were unfastened. When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. But Paul cried with a loud voice, 'Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.'"

Quote: Romans 12:1,2
"And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."

Message: "After Repentance, then What?"
Sunday Service 7/1/2018 @ Seattle Family Church
Quote: Today in the Light of Dispensational History - Sun Myung Moon, Feb. 23, 1977
"Contradiction, struggle and destruction have filled the chapters of the history of fallen mankind. Fallen humanity came under satanic culture which centers on struggle and division, contrary to God's history which seeks for unity and harmony. Even in the fallen world, however, all men and women have innate, original human desire. The conscience always tries to lead one back to the original center, God. To return to God one must be saved from the satanic surroundings. That's why those who are heading toward the original God-centered point have gone through tremendous struggles.
The entire history of man can be described as a tug of war. Man has been pulled by both powers. It has been a struggle to determine which side to belong to. This is the agony of man. This struggle started with the individual, then the family and tribe, nation and world. All have been pulled from pole to pole, toward evil and toward goodness."

Message: "The Value of Repentance"
Sunday Service 6/24/2018 @ Seattle Family Church
Video mentioned: https://youtu.be/EihqXHqxri0?t=3m12s
Quote: The Age of Repentance - Sun Myung Moon, Sept. 1, 1978
"The Holy Spirit moves our mind to a relationship with Christ and eventually God, but why specifically do we need the Holy Spirit? ...The first thing the Holy Spirit helps us to do is repent.
We can partially understand repentance through worldly experience. In order for a man to be liberated from prison, for instance, he must take certain steps; he cannot just be freed unconditionally. No matter how fine a man he once was, if he does something grossly wrong he has to offset that by serving some sentence.
What wrong has mankind done? Mankind has committed wrongs worse than violating just the law of the individual -- man violated the law of the ideal universe and made it impossible to realize the ideal of creation and of love. The most important thing in the universe was violated, and without these two elements of ideal and love it is impossible to fulfill the purpose of creation."

Quote: Word and Deed - Rev. Sun Myung Moon, January 30, 1977
"You are here to pursue the highest goal and achievement and you know that true values are intangible, but your parents feel that you have the most value. They put their hope in you, and then all of a sudden you started doing things that are crazy according to their standard. You are truly revolutionaries. You each had your individual goals and private ambitions, but when you heard the Divine Principle, an important revolution took place within one week's time that changed the entire direction of your life."

Message: "Why Do You Come to Church?"
Sunday Service 5/27/2018 @ Seattle Family Church
Quote: The Tradition of the Unification Church - Rev. Sun Myung Moon, September 11, 1977
"The most dramatic and stirring life is the search after permanent and eternal love... Many successful people think that their lives could only be more fulfilled by being an influential member of government, but the permanent rank you want is not of President of the United States but that of a genuine searcher for the true love of God...
One thing is true: the Unification Church is here to find the true, permanent love of God.
...I said we will conquer the world, but how could we possibly do that? You say that we will use love, but whose love? My love? I am a mortal man who may change, but the love of God will not change. God is eternal and if the love of God is burning in each individual's heart then we don't have to worry about how the Unification Church will unify the world because the love of God will do it."

Message: "Our Mother"
Sunday Service 5/13/2018 @ Seattle Family Church
Quote: Exodus 20:12
"Honor your father and your mother"
Rev. Sun Myung Moon, World Scripture,p.55.
"When you go to the spirit world, you will not only have a Heavenly Father but also a Heavenly Mother. Can a new life be born without both a father and a mother? The dual characteristics of God are as a divine Father and Mother, who were to be united as one in Adam and Eve. Therefore, we can say that through either our father or our mother there lies a gate to heaven.
Had Adam and Eve become one, who would be the leading lights of the Kingdom of God in the spirit world? They would be our father and mother. Having lived on Earth in the body, they would be the King and Queen of the eternal Kingdom of Heaven in the other world. ...you have spiritual experiences where I, Reverend Moon, appear in your visions or dreams, and so does True Mother. You can experience that Mother and I are truly living with you throughout your life."

Message: "True Mother in Vienna"
Sunday Service 5/6/2018 @ Seattle Family Church
Quote: Chambumo Gyeong Book 13, Chapter 1, Section 1
"I have to eliminate everything that is based on the sovereignty of Satan's world, which has come down through the generations. I have to indemnify the betrayals of heaven and the betrayals of God's Will, and restore God's victorious dominion. I have to sweep away everything that was corrupted under Satan's sovereignty, from the era of the individual and the era of the tribe up to the present.
To achieve that, I must restore the authority of the elder son. I must restore the authority of the elder son and then the authority of the parents. Originally, the parents were to be the owners, but Satan became the owner and king. For that reason, as the younger son and on God's side, I am moving forward to restore the authority of the elder son, the authority of the parents and the authority of kingship.

"Human beings are created to be the center of harmony of the whole cosmos. If Adam and Eve had attained perfection and united as husband and wife, it would have meant the joining into oneness of the two centers of the dual characteristics of all beings. Had Adam and Eve moved together in harmony and attained oneness, the whole cosmos with its dual characteristics would have danced in harmony."

Quote: (Leader's Address 3/1/1975)
"If you have the determination, the power will follow. When Moses saw his people suffering in Egypt, he felt indignant. Out of strong patriotism and love for his people, he killed one of the Egyptians. We do not encourage murder, but by this act Moses demonstrated his determination to help the chosen people of God. Because of that determination, God called him. So your determination is required first. Then the power will be given."

Message: "True Parents' Philosophy"
Sunday Service 3/11/2018 @ Seattle Family Church
Quote: Rev. Sun Myung Moon Chambumo Gyeong, page 1526
I try not to be indebted before heaven. Whatever I do, I always try to be at the place where God would appear to me and say, “My goodness, please take a little rest!" I know that God, my Father, has not been able to rest. Yet seeing that I keep on pushing myself without resting, He weeps silently to Himself over me. Attending Him with this heart is my philosophy of life and guiding principle. I am not doing this because anyone taught me. I live this way simply because I have a father-son relationship with God. I pour everything into my relationship with Him. Therefore, He too truly appreciates our relationship from the bottom of His heart, saying to me, I love you so much. I know you are so busy for the Will, but I wish we could spend time only for each other." Because I live for this relationship, I receive heaven's protection. That is why I have not perished. Still, I do not say I am great. The more I know about Him, the more I must keep humbling myself.

"Leaders from around the world: God, the Creator of all things under the sun, is the true parent of all humanity. He is not a parent in the parochial sense, existing only for a certain religion, a certain race, or the residents of a certain region. You may call Him by any name, be it Jehovah, Allah, or any other. What is important is that He certainly exists, lives as the true parent of all people, and is carrying on the great work of Creation. He governs everything in the universe, and He carries out His providence through history in accordance with the principles and laws of nature that He set up at the beginning of time."

Quote: Hyo Jeong CARP Assembly, South Korea - March 12, 2017,
"Many walls exist in the world today - walls between ideologies, walls between religions, walls between races, and walls of national frontiers. These walls arose due to selfish greed. People cannot look beyond themselves. They do not know God. This is a problem that can be solved if you know God, but they do not understand that. On the other hand, do you know God? [Yes!] How must you act as people who are aware of this? ...You have an important responsibility. We must become a nation that attends God. We must become a nation that receives God's blessings. That means that this nation, all its citizens, must attend True Parents. Is there anyone who hates light on a dark night? You must become the light. As the light, you must create that environment. In the schools you attend, you must first think, 'I will change the school,' and then carry out sincere devotions and make effort."

Quote: As A Peace Loving Global Citizen. Pg. 248 - 249,
Perhaps President Gorbachev heard this expression of my concern. The next day, he invited me to the Kremlin Palace. I rode in a limousine provided by the Soviet government and entered deep into the Kremlin. On entering the presidential office, my wife and I took our seats, and Cabinet ministers of the Soviet Union took seats next to us. President Gorbachev smiled a big smile and gave us an energetic explanation of the successes of his perestroika policies. Then he showed me into an anteroom, where we met one on one. I used this opportunity to give him the following message:
'Mr. President, you have already achieved much success through perestroika, but that alone will not be sufficient for reform. You need to immediately allow freedom of religion in the Soviet Union. If you try to reform only the material world, without the involvement of God, perestroika will be doomed to fail. Communism is about to end. The only way to save this nation is to allow the freedom of religion. The time is now for you to act with the courage that you have shown in reforming the Soviet Union and become a president of the world who works to bring about world peace.'

Quote:How To Gain Spiritual Help - Sun Myung Moon, November 27, 1978
"A wise person thinks like this: 'I have only a short time to live. Within this time I must prepare myself for eternity. The way I live in the next two years will be the model for my eternal life.' Then explode your sense of love. Love God, and love another person as God. For an entire day, 24 hours pour out your entire energy for someone. If you love a person like this, even though you may die early, you will have made the highest accomplishment in all eternity. Then when God gives you more time to live, your response will be immense gratitude. Push yourself to live more fully. The person who expects death and then is given life dwells in the fullest gratitude."

By uniting with the ideals of the True Parents and regaining true love, true life and true lineage, human beings can be eternally restored. Amazingly, we are now living in the era of True Parents. There has never been and will never again be a time of this magnitude of blessing in the history of human existence. This enables us to be called the lucky generation born with heavenly fortune."
