To my horror I found that there are different protocols regarding links between computers and mobile devices like phones. Important links didn't function when accessed by mobile devices yet worked fine from a computer. The advice that I got from the website host regarding this was to contact with 3rd party link vendors which wasn't really so helpful. I found out that links on pdfs that link to another pdf have this problem on mobile devices and just don't work at all. 

To cut to the chase here: the links for the sermons will now work from your phone as you will now only access one pdf file (rather than linking from an index pdf file to the sermons content pdf file). The same is true for the Peace Messages and for the Explanation to the Family Pledge which was from the Cheon Seong Gyeong Chapter 16 Section 2. All of these can be accessed from the Resources page.

Should you find something which doesn't work as it should please let me know and I shall diligently work to fix it.

All of the sermons in Volume 4 and most of those in Volume 3 can be read for you in several different accents: UK, Canadian, Australian as well as , of course, American.

These sermons are speaking about Jesus from a very different perspective and, even though they are from the late 1950s, sound very fresh even apart from the sometimes clunky translation. (They were originally delivered in Korean language).

Looking forward to hearing from you 

Peace and Love in Christ (aka True Parents . . .)

Andrew Derricutt

This is following from the last blog when I was thinking about the Christians who had recently publicly de-converted (another term for apostacy). If we think of God as sitting on a throne while we struggle 'down here' it must be easy, in a moment of weakness, to give up the struggle. I think too that a lot of Christians may be putting the Second Advent on the back burner because it doesn't seem to have happened yet but was strongly anticipated 20 years ago. Jesus did say that the Kingdom of Heaven was not coming with signs to be observed. The LSA (Lord of the Second Advent) appearing with the clouds of Heaven following the trumpet calls of the angels doesn't fit with this. That's why on the first page of this website is the challenge: 'What kind of LSA are you expecting?'

The LSA being born on the earth is much closer to 'not coming with signs to be observed'.  It would also more closely align with the warning that Jesus gave in Luke 17:25 that, 'First he (the LSA) must suffer and be rejected by this generation. 

In the last month I've been working on the early sermons of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon using text to speech such they can be read for you. They are from the late 1950s and in them he speaks almost exclusively about Jesus. I was struck with how fresh they were and also with the new way of describing Jesus. He is talking about the living Jesus before the cross when he was trying to get through to the people. From my understanding it is really noteworthy since he is speaking about the Messiah from the point of view of one who has the same mission. 

As you now know, Jesus was truly revolutionary and when he stated that prostitutes and tax collectors would get to heaven ahead of the main stream religious leaders it must have caused them to feel defensive and angry.

Jesus also spoke about God as Heavenly Father and this was another new concept from the point of view of those living at that time who considered God to be the Master and even the best of mankind as servant.

Jesus did state that he had many things that he wanted to say but that we couldn't bear them now (John 16:12). Jesus also said, 'If I've told you earthly things and you don't believe, how can I tell you about heavenly things?' (John 3:12). It is these things that I think gives the prominent Christians of the Last Days problems as their faith can be attacked more easily because of a lack of understanding of some really fundamental points. Why did God not prevent the Fall of Man; if God is the sole creator where did evil originate; why hasn't the LSA appeared and fixed everything already; why does Satan appear so much more powerful than God. 

On the other hand present day Christians do not seem to agree, with Reverend Moon, that God is a God of bitter grief and tears since the Fall of Man. It has taken so long to restore mankind (which from a certain point of view is not even possible) as God has to deal with the human portion of responsibility with which even God cannot interfere. It has to do with the central reason of why God created at all. Even the pastor from a 'mega' church here in Springfield asserted that the reason God created was because He could. For me that is not a reason at all.

If, as Reverend Moon asserts, that mankind was created to be 'the other' in the reciprocal relationship of love that would bring a whole new dimension of Love to the God before the creation then a lot of things will start to make more sense.

Love requires Free Will. Love requires actual free-will and not just the appearance of free-will from our point of view. The quality of Love from God's point of view and ours cannot be any different if it is to be meaningful at all. Those who believe in a superdimensional God of 10 or 11 dimensions whereas we have 3 or 4 are disqualified right there. Reverend Moon stated that God invested 100%, holding nothing back, in order to create us in His Image. Of course we could not be created in a perfect state as that would mean that we would not be a separate entity; we were created with the capability to grow to maturity - grow to perfection - by the exercise of our own free will. Needless to say the commandment to prevent the Fall could be chosen to be adhered to or not. Unfortunately we know that the first human ancestors chose to not hold fast to that commandment, 'Do not eat . . .' The ensuing history of restoration that we can read the record of in the Bible had to be carried out in such a way that the human portion of responsibility could not be invaded by God; we had to learn from the result of our choices.

Incidentally, the principles of restoration are described in precise detail in the second part of The Exposition of the Divine Principle which is available on the Home page as well as the Resources page. It is available in the 3 color version which has the main points in red, points of secondary value in blue, and more examples and explanation shaded yellow. Reading just the main points can allow you to catch the basic ideas in a very short time. It is not only logical but will shed a whole new light on the Bible.

Getting back to my topic: If we understand that God is a God of sorrow because of the Fall of Man we will have a stronger motivation to liberate this God by connecting with and fulfilling our responsibility. We will not be concerned with whether or not we are going to go to heaven as we'll have a completely different understanding to build the kingdom of heaven; naturally and spontaneously with true love after we align with the original purpose of creation. We would never think, even in a dream, of betraying God or those that God has sent to us. It is surely a sin to reject those whom God has sent, right?

The human portion of responsibility is something that we do need to engage and connect with. It does seem to be a disadvantage because of the Fall of Man and the terrible history that resulted from that, but it is definitely worth it. To come to realize that we are children of God is an awesome thing. That each person has a unique and cosmic value.

We are past the Last Days right now as Reverend Moon proclaimed in the peace messages that he and his family gave at the turn of the millennium and that that we are in the 'era after the coming of heaven'. In a similar way Jesus brought an entirely new era that people were not immediately aware of at the time but which we can now very clearly see. The sun and moon have truly been 'darkened' by the new truth brought by the Lord of the Second Advent. The purpose of this website is to make that not only available, but accurate and accessible. Please check out some of the early sermons from volume 3 and 4 that can be read out for you. It will afford a new perspective on Jesus.

​Looking forward to hearing from you. Let's become rising stars that are firmly on the side of Heaven bringing honor, praise, glory and Joy to God, our Heavenly Father.

"Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven . . ." (Matthew 24:29) I remember hearing about the last days in a sizeable church here in Springfield and how these signs were taken literally. I think that these signs can be much better understood by connecting with the term "True Parents" which has been the consistent goal of restoration history since the Fall of Man. It makes perfect sense to me that we need True Parents to replace the false parents that the first human ancestors became from their lack of seriousness to connect with God's commandment, "Do not eat, in the day you eat of it you shall die." 

From this point of view Jesus and the Holy Spirit are spiritual true parents. You know for sure that although you and your spouse can both be re-born through Jesus and the Holy Spirit that your children with still require re-birth. The main purpose of the 2nd Coming of the Messiah will be to make this re-birth complete both spiritually and physically - a fundamental re-set to the state before the Fall. As well as bringing new truth.

Viewed in this way the Sun and Moon darkening and the stars falling from heaven can take on a completely new meaning from the dream of Joseph when the Sun, Moon and 11 stars bowed low before him meant that his family members would bow down to him. Which, of course, actually happened when Joseph became 2nd to Pharoah in Egypt.

Jesus and the Holy Spirit, spiritual true parents of born again Christians, will become relatively darkened when their light is outshone by the new truth brought by the 2nd Advent of the Lord. Jesus was restricted in the truth that he could bring because of the lack of proper response from the then chosen people, as the following verses from the Bible testify:
"I still have many things to say you, but you cannot bear them now . . ." John 16:12 
"These things I have spoken to you in figurative language, but the time is coming . . .when I will speak plainly about the Father (God) John 16:25

You must have thought about these Bible verses, right? What kind of content do you think that the Lord of the Second Coming would share that would make everything about God plain?

How about why God could not stop the Fall of Man even though He knew that it was taking place? How about the origin of evil? If God is totally good and all things were made by Him then how, exactly, did evil get off the ground? Why is there so much suffering: poverty, war, disease, hunger in the world and for such a long, long, time?

Doesn't the concept of True Parents make more immediate sense to deal with the Fall of Man than the terms 'Christ' or 'Messiah'? The first parents indeed became false parents through their wrong choice right at the start of history.

Which brings me to 'stars falling from heaven' which I was thinking about after learning that several prominent Christians have "de-converted" and did so quite publicly on social media. This was from Martyn Iles from the Australian Christian Lobby and here is the link to that. Also that they didn't leave Christianity for something else but are in a state of limbo, confusion. Christians are the children of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and they will fall from heaven if they fail to connect with the Lord of the Second Advent which will be the True Parent to bring complete re-birth.

On the Home page of this site are some pages to get up to speed regarding signs of the Last Days. These signs can be taken literally or figuratively. For example "fire" is an expression signifying God's Word. Jesus said that he came to cast fire on the earth and wished that it was already kindled. "Is not my Word like a fire?" says the Lord . . . (Jeremiah 23:29)

I've spoken before about the clouds that the LSA (Lord of the Second Advent) is going to come on as being figurative. For example, Jesus said that all the Law and the prophets prophesied until John (John the Baptist) which means that the visions described in Daniel 7:13 were describing Jesus. "I was watching in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before Him". But we know that Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Because of this prophesy there were a significant number who doubted Jesus as Messiah because he didn't literally fit this verse. And there are many today who wrongly think that prophesy is for the LSA.

The same kind of thing happened with the LSA. Everyone is looking at the sky and the LSA is born on the earth (1920!) So, I feel sorry for these Christians who are not connecting with the LSA, also known as the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind; and God's Substantial Self!

A lot of Christians are familiar with John 3:16 but I feel that 1 Corinthians 3:16 more accurately sums up the purpose of creation: 'Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the spirit of God dwells in you?'

Adam should have become, with Eve, the true parents of mankind had they taken seriously God's commandment and not succumbed to the Fall. The LSA is doing what Jesus was prevented from accomplishing as the then chosen people did not know the time of their visitation as St. Paul put it. (Luke 19:44) They made a humungous mistake in not recognizing and connecting with Jesus as the Messiah.

You would think, wouldn't you, that Christians would be really nervous and worried about making the same kind of mistake with the LSA. You would think that they would really pray about the warnings that Jesus gave that it would be extraordinarily difficult to recognize the LSA. (Luke 17:25; Luke 18:8 and the scary Matthew 7:21-23) Well, think again. Because Christianity has made the same kind of mistake.

St. Paul was always regretting that he missed connecting with Jesus in the flesh, yet he made enormous contributions to Christianity. It's never too late to connect with God's will. The crazy things that are happening in the world right now should really get through to anyone that we're living in a very significant time. I think the judgement is really a choice between those who connect with God versus those who want to live apart from God and seek to impose their relative values on everyone through force. You can see that happening world-wide in an astonishing way right before your eyes!

Please check out some of the introductory ideas on the Home page and also the early sermons of the Reverend Moon from the 1950s when he was speaking almost exclusively about Jesus. Since he has the same kind of mission it gives an insight in how to connect with the living Jesus rather than the Jesus of the cross. The ones in Volume 4 have the facility that they can be read for you - I'm trying to make them more accessible - and I'm about a third through Volume 3.

I would love to hear from you. We should do what St. Paul said in testing all things and holding fast to what is good. We should never be afraid to look at new ideas - Jesus was truly revolutionary, right? The LSA is equally so. 

Soon it will be spring when kings go off to war. This will be a good year. Praise God ! ! !

Another fundraising letter came in the mail to me yesterday. Twelve pages! Even with personalized content - my name featured in a couple of paragraphs. It must be quite costly to make such a mailing - complete with stamped addressed envelope to send my donation. I decided to read it.

It is promoting conservative voice on college campuses which do suffer from left wing influences. I would even say that college campuses are systemically left wing. So there was a lot for me to agree with. So why didn't I donate to it?

President Trump was only mentioned very briefly twice, but as an aside, in relation to one of their organizers who got punched in the face and was mentioned by Trump in his speech at CPAC. And right at the end of the letter where the subject of this fundraising letter said that Trump was a new voice whereas she has had longevity! Another thing was that God, our Heavenly Father (Original Parent) was not mentioned even once ! ! !

One of the things that impressed me about President Trump was his confidence in invoking God at every speech that he made. He made it totally right, and fine, to proclaim 'Merry Christmas'. I was in the UK just before his presidency and all my cards from colleges had, 'Happy Holidays', 'Seasons Greetings' and etcetera. Needless to say they went straight to the bin. The colors red and green were discouraged in stores around Christmastime too.

Trump also made promises and kept them. An astonishing first for me to experience that. Deregulation was carried out big time and taxes were lowered encouraging 'made in the USA'. The main appliances in our house are made in the USA and we purposely left those labels on. Even our tin openers and staplers are made in the USA. I am not against the Chinese people, by the way, they are also victims of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). I think that Chinese people are probably the best people in the world which is why Satan took them through the CCP. Satan always takes the best, right?

I am impressed too that President Trump made a closer commitment to Taiwan before leaving office. China has a sell-by date that is fast approaching and buying time is a very good idea.

I believe that America will never truly  succeed unless God is put at the forefront of any policy. Christianity needs to be upgraded such that a completely clear understanding of some fundamental things is abundantly clear. One of my Christian friends believes that Jesus is actually God. That makes no sense. This puts Jesus in the same category as a 'Superman' kind of person. (Which is why I don't like the concept of Superman) Superman can never be a role model for mankind because he is at root a quite different creation. Rev. Moon (aka LSA) states clearly that Jesus is like Adam; but who succeeded whereas Adam fell and brought false lineage into the world. We, born from these fallen first parents have bad blood. We need re-birth. I would recommend reading the Christology chapter from Exposition of the Divine Principle to get a clear understanding of that. It can even be read for you. Check it out, please.

The most noticeable thing about President Trump was a clear goal to reset America to the founding fathers. Their thought was firmly grounded in Christian principles and a large amount of their inspiration came directly from the Bible. In my Patriot's Bible it states that from 3,154 direct quotes made by the founders between 1760 and 1805, 34% came from the Bible; Montesquieu was quoted 8.3%, Sir William Blackstone 7.9% and John Locke 2.9%. The Word of God is so powerful - truly a 'rod of iron'.

So. How sad it is that Christianity has not connected with the words from the Lord of the Second Advent. I have recently been working on the early sermons of Rev. Moon from the 1950s and am impressed with how he is speaking almost exclusively about Jesus. Because Rev. Moon has a parallel mission with Jesus it gives astonishing and profound insights into the heart and mind-set of Jesus. The sermons in Volume 4 can even be read for you and I am just starting to do the same for Volume 3 (about 1/4 way through so far).

The main thing is for America to return to God and this was one of the main themes behind Rev. Moon's public speeches in America: "God's Hope for America" and "The New Future of Christianity" are probably the best known ones but there are many. The Old Testament books of the Bible show clearly that when the then chosen people were in alignment with God they prospered and enjoyed peace on all their borders, but once they forgot about the One True God and sacrificed to other gods and cheated their neighbors, problems very quickly developed. It should be clear from looking at the history of the first chosen people that they cannot have done the will of God to have been a people without land for 2000 years. Jerusalem, as Jesus predicted, was utterly destroyed. It should be clear too, from Israel becoming a sovereign nation in 1948 and having its capital city recognized in 2018 that the Last Days are already here.

I believe there are a significant number of Christian people (not necessarily main stream church Christians) that are engaging with the thought of Reverend Moon. He created the "Critique of Communism and Counter Proposal" that formed the basis of the 'CAUSA' teaching that Rush Limbaugh was engaging with before he died. There must be many great American Christian thinkers who are recognizing that Rev. Moon  elevated Christian thought to the level of a truly God-centered World-level ideology. 

The purpose of this website is to make this thought accessible, accurate and consistent. The 8 Great Texts that True Father encouraged us to study are mentioned in one of the last speeches that he gave. This can also be read for you, by the way.

We need to know precisely and clearly why God ventured to create mankind; and what our true purpose actually is. To learn why God could not intervene, or interfere, with the Fall of Man even though He knew that it was taking place. If you don't know about this you will have a dilemma concerning God, our Heavenly Father. The Christian teaching on the Trinity is, quite frankly, torturous. I put a link to clear explanations regarding that under, "Elucidated Christology" on the Resources page. God is truly One God and doesn't have multiple personalities. If one of your friends has multiple personalities you will feel distinctly uneasy in their presence, right? And rightly so.

In the same way Christians think that God made a test that if we fail it results in our death - AND our childrens' death too. If any parent made such a test for their children then they would rightly be deemed unfit to be parents; yet some Christians believe in this kind of psychopathic God. Duh!

Main Stream Christians have a strong connection with the Jesus of the cross but I feel that very few (if any) would have been able to connect with the actual living Jesus. We have to connect with the living Jesus before he was compelled (due to faithlessness on the part of the then chosen people) to go the way of the cross. This is why Jesus gave such strong (perplexing?) warnings to Christians of the Last Days that it would be extraordinarily difficult to recognize the Lord of the Second Advent: Luke 17:25; Luke 18:8; and the scary Matthew 7:21-23. But we never suppose that these warnings are actually for us. They are for the other denomination, group, person etc.

America needs to reset to the spirit of the founding fathers and I believe that a huge awakening is taking place right now and that it is worldwide - not just USA. Even someone sent me a link today from Russel Brand looking at the microsoft guy who's buying up land at a huge scale in the USA and wondering what kind of skullduggery is behind this. If even someone like Russell Brand is getting it then there must be a lot more . . .

This is going to be an interesting year. A year of choices and ensuing judgement. The great reset of China to its Marxist roots under Xi Jinping versus to the great reset that is happening in the USA under the previous administration. There does seem to be a hiccup there right now but I do feel it will be short lived. 

Let me know what you think of the fundamental ideas I've expressed here and maybe you can agree with me why I didn't support that fundraising letter.
