Please think about this. Even though I came with such conviction and resolution, if you can't even keep track of time, how can I talk about it before you. You should be punished. Among you there are both children and parents, but when you are in front of God, there is nothing more important than time. I'm saying that time is the most important. If one cannot keep up with time, he will fail. If he cannot find time, he will fail. Heavenly Father requires the utmost pure environment and utmost pure heart, but you can't even keep track of time and you stand in the back singing hymns.

You must know that your responsibility is serious. There will be many people who follow the Principle and look up to you, but is it good that they become like you? Is it all right if they just become onlookers? I have pledged the completion of my responsibility in front of heaven and earth, but what can I say before people like you? How can I pray for you to receive blessings? Can I say, "Heavenly Father! Please give these people the hidden glory of Heaven. Please grant them a life in Heaven?"

In order to make the teacher into a teacher, you must do all of your responsibility. Even when you pray in front of Father, you must create the environment in which you can pray, "Heavenly Father, the children you have wanted to meet have come."

Originally, after a certain time I should lock the door. I don't want to gather and talk to people like you. In order to raise you to a certain level, I talk to you for two or three hours. I have to do that before I can pray in front of Heaven and connect to the standard of heart.

Everyone, it is past the time for service to start but how many people have gathered? If you have such ideas, then I don't want to lead you on Sunday. It would be better for me to turn around and go to a church out in the countryside. Then my heart would be comfortable. The members from the countryside and I have the same heart. You must know that when Father tours the countryside, there are people who walk several hundred leagues in order to get there on time and listen for just that hour, there are people who walk several hundred leagues. If you compare yourself with that kind of person in front of Heaven, it would be appropriate for you to be cursed. You should know about the people who can't afford the bus fare to come here. They don't eat for several days, and then walk without regarding day or night to get here.

If you ask what I feel this workshop's attendants have in common, it is that they are more mature than the members from the church headquarters.

I hope that from this day forth when I visit rural churches I can talk about you with pride. You must have a higher standard than the members in rural areas. You must do better so that I can stand in the position to talk about you at rural churches. Whose will do you follow living as you do now?

You who cry out for the unity of heart, actions, ideologies, and lifestyles, aren't you ashamed to come so late? How can you raise your head? Doing this, what kind of fortune will you receive? That kind of person will never receive good fortune. Such a person will try and fail. He will try and fail. From now on, Father will guide your actions. If you don't like it, you don't have to do it. We will see who fails. Who will?

Heaven will receive people who work and strive earnestly. It is not a place that welcomes anyone blindly. Because of this, you must treat time solemnly. From now on, one by one, I will line up people who come late and disgrace them. Now I know.

This morning too, when service began, only a few people had come. Then later, a lot of people arrived. As long as you're going to come, you should come early. I'm asking why you come so late. If you're a little diligent you'll be fine. If it seems like you might be late, then sleep that much earlier. The amount of time you spend here early is an offering to God. You can't pay a fortune and become that much more valuable. Because that time is an offering to God, if you come late, you're stealing from Him. Therefore, you must come on time. So, from that, the amount of time you are unable to sleep becomes indemnity and you can raise your face to God. If you become like this, your heart will become better and you can become closer to Heaven. However, if you come late, even when you pray you'll sit blinking, wondering what Father is going to talk about. You figure sitting there is like a lone miserable person.

Is it all right for people who must make their offering to come late to service? Such a person should be so ashamed he can't raise his head. Among sinners, he must feel that he's the worst. Then, he must determine to be punctual and devote himself more than others. Not coming on time, can one pray, "Oh! Heaven..." Your sincerity is not for others to notice you. Sincerity isn't driving to church; it is walking.

You're not supposed to come here and only then pray. You should pray hard and then come here to pray more earnestly. That is devotion. You must know that the world which secular people wish for and the desires they seek exist in an inverse proportion to the accumulation of devotion.
