12 Foundation Stones—Teacher’s Supplement Chapter 2Issues—Pubs Lists and TipsIntroductionStudents attending the 12 Foundation Stones classes (or other Bible classes) and other friends youminister to will have questions or issues that need to be addressed that are not covered specificallyin the 12 Foundation Stones classes. This categorized Letter list has been compiled to give you a varietyof material to help answer these needs.Some questions you are asked may be for information: “What is the difference between a Catholicor a Protestant?” Some questions may be about our beliefs and practices: “Why don’t you crossyourself?” “Why don’t you go to church?” Or other issues may arise that you need to deal with.Sometimes they will have particular shepherding needs. Perhaps they’re having a hard time at homeor work. Then there will be behavior issues to address: smoking, drinking, gossiping, and manyothers.You will find plenty of suggestions to help you address these topics and many more in the followingpages. Become familiar with what is in here and you’ll find you have a veritable treasurechest of invaluable quotes and pubs to share with your flock.Using the Material in This ChapterIn this chapter of the Teacher’s supplement we list the pubs. In the 12 Foundation Stones CD weinclude each of the pubs in its own text file. Where only a portion rather than an entire pub is listed,you will find that portion is on the CD. When a compilation of various quotes is referred to, youwill find the full compilation on the CD.We have tried to include all relevant existing pubs, so you’ll find that some pubs on the list havesimilar titles and/or content.This pubs listing was put together in December 2001, with some publications added in early2002. You may find it helpful to keep adding to the list new pubs as they come out, any of yourfavorites that we missed, and other classes.Classifications of Publications on This ListThere are several classifications of material to choose from.1. GP: These are all existing GP pubs and/or sections of GP pubs. You can give any of these pubsto your friends. You’ll probably want to look through them beforehand to be sure they are suitable.Some of the pubs are sections of books that your friend may have or may want to obtain fromyou (either during the course or as an extra), such as sections from Bible Basics. If they have thebook, you can show them what to read on the subject.If you don’t have copies of the pub suggested on hand, you could print out the material from thereference CD.(The files on the CD have the extension “GP” for easy identification.)2. DFO: These are all existing pubs and/or sections of pubs that are classified DFO and/or aremore meaty than the GP pubs. Although you may give these to your students if you wish, youshould bear in mind that it is unlikely that your friends would be ready for these pubs if they haveChapter 2: Issues—Pubs Lists and Tips 13

only been attending classes for a short while. These pubs include the “New Wine” edited versions ofCM/FM letters.(The files on the CD have the extension “DFO.”)3. CM and CM/FM: A section with a list of pubs which are CM or FM that you may like toread over as the need arises to get ideas of what counsel you can give. These pubs are not for youto give to your friends (although portions of CM/FM pubs can be read with your students at yourHome teamwork’s discretion) but the counsel therein should help you in counseling your friendsthrough their problems.(The files on the CD have the extension “CM” or “CMFM.”)4. Activated Training Course: Many of the issues that could come up are already covered inclasses, so we include references to the 12 Foundation Stones classes and Study Notes. (References tothe 12 Bridges have not been included, as that course was not ready at the time of writing this.)Nine Categories of Subject Matter1. Answering questions and addressing issuesThis category is for your information rather than being a list of materials to give. It gives generalcounsel on how to answer questions and address issues that arise. It contains important tipsabout avoiding rigid or dogmatic teaching, the balance between what we know and what we shouldteach, and also points on shepherding the students.2. DoctrineThis is divided into two sections: “Basic Doctrine” which is mostly dealing with subjects that arecovered at least partially in the 12 Foundation Stones course and/or the “Statement of Faith.” “VariousDoctrine” covers other aspects of our beliefs.3. The Spirit WorldThis has five sections of information dealing with everything from angels to exorcism to universalreconciliation and much more. You should be able to answer most questions pertaining to thespiritual world, its inhabitants, its mysteries and our communications with the world beyond fromthis category.4. ReligionThis has five sections of information explaining the teachings of the world’s faiths, religiouspractices, differences between Christian denominations. It also deals with those who opposereligion, and religious persecution. There is an important section about what our attitude asChristians should be towards those who differ from us.5. The WorldThis has five sections of information about the world today and contains our views on manyissues, some of which could be controversial depending on whom you are talking with. It alsocontains a section on what our attitudes as Christians should be towards the world.6. Life IssuesThis category will probably be the most useful in shepherding your students. It is divided intoseven sections: health care and fitness; health problems and cures; life and death (includes aging);children and parenting; sex, relationships and marriage; help in life’s crises.14 Chapter 2: Issues—Pubs Lists and Tips

7. Lifestyle “A to Z”More “life issues” that will be useful for shepherding, covering subjects as varied as pets to drivingto music. Habits such as alcohol and smoking are also included as well as character traits.8. The FamilyThis category explains The Family and various aspects of our lifestyle, history and beliefs. (Thesesubjects are covered in more depth in the 12 Bridges.)9. Serving the LordThis category deals briefly with some issues that were begun in the 12 Foundation Stones and willbe covered in more depth in the 12 Bridges (the next level of the Activated Training Course), such aswitnessing, and finding God’s will.* * * Important Note! * * *Although a pub or section of a pub is available as DFO or even GP, it does not mean that it willbe suitable for your friends and students at a particular time. It is your responsibility to prayerfullycheck any publication you want to give to your friends, and be sure that its contents are suitablefor them at the time. A pub can be classified DFO or even GP, but contain some meaty concepts orlanguage. “Know your meat!” Look over any pubs before giving them so you will be ready to explainfurther anything that may be more difficult for your friends to grasp.An Example of How to Use the Material in This BookIf one of your students asks a question, you should first of all check whether it is going to beexplained in the 12 Foundation Stones course. If it isn’t, and you feel it is something you need to coverright then, then see if there is something in this topical Issues list that can help you.For example, one of your friends who hasn’t been coming to the classes very long mentions thathe has trouble sleeping. You know that there isn’t going to be a class on “sleep” as such in the maincourse, and you’re wondering what counsel you can give him and what Word he could read. Lookup “sleep problems” or “insomnia” in the “Issues” index and you’ll find a page number directing youto the pubs on sleep.As you’ll see, there are some pubs on dreams that won’t be so relevant for his problem, but thereare others on insomnia that will be more useful. You would most likely only refer him to the GPpubs.Now let’s imagine you have another friend who has problems with bad dreams. This person hasfinished the 12 Foundation Stones course and therefore has a better foundation in the Word. In hiscase, not only the GP pubs but also the DFO pubs could be suitable to help him.A Few Notes About the Pubs ListingBible Basics is also known as Discovering Truth–Bible Basics. This is the same as the book originallypublished as Word Basics.Keys to Happier Living is also known as Discovering Truth–Keys to Happier Living. This is the sameas the book originally published as Word Topics.New Wine are DFO versions of Letters that were originally CM or FM.Chapter 2: Issues—Pubs Lists and Tips 15

Issues—Answering Questionsand Addressing Issues!Answering Questions When your students or friends ask you a question, prayerfully decide: What is really meant by thisquestion? Are they simply looking for information or is there more behind this and do they need shepherdingon this issue? For instance, if they ask you, “What does God think about adultery?” are they seekinginformation, or are they trying to relieve a guilty conscience about some misbehavior? Ask yourself: Can the question be answered with material from a class? If not, consult the“Issues” index. Encourage your students to ask questions about what they do not understand. See Mark 11:27–33 for an interesting example of how Jesus responded to questions.Pubs on this topic:GP Asking For Help Keys to Happier Living, pages 218–222Sticking to the Basics—Teaching Facts, Not Theories Stick to the basics in what you teach. Focus primarily on the topics covered in the 12 FoundationStones. Then, as needed, answer questions on other issues. When answering questions or addressing issues that are not explained in the classes, you will needto be prayerful that what you are teaching is based on what we know. If it is just a theory or ifthere are many sides to an issue, be sure to explain this to your students. If an issue is not covered in the “Statement of Faith,” we may not have a definitive doctrine onit. When you explain your feelings or opinions on this type of issue, be sure to clarify that it is justthat—your opinion. We all have our own opinions and angles that we tend to focus on when teaching. There’s nothingwrong with that; just be sure to differentiate for the students between what is a Family teachingand what is your opinion on a subject. You don’t want to present personal pet doctrines as Familydoctrines. Over the years and through the many Letters, the Lord has progressively taught us more and moreabout many subjects. If you try to answer a question only by referring to an earlier Mo Letter, youwill be missing the more recent counsel. This is why in the Pubs Listing we have included a varietyof pubs so you can try to find the whole counsel of God on the subject. Many issues in the Word are not fundamental Family doctrines. We as Family members are notrequired to believe something unless WS has stated that it is a fundamental Family belief. Howmuch more should our students not be expected or required to hold to our every belief, some ofwhich are theoretical? You can explain our basic doctrine using the “Statement of Faith,” which includes Scripturalbacking for our beliefs. Our foundation is the Bible and the Mo Letters—both are needed! Find the balance.Pubs on this topic:GP What is the Statement of Faith? Statement of FaithDFO What Are the Family’s Essential Beliefs? The Charter, Responsibilities ofIndividual Members, Section C16 Chapter 2: Issues—Answering Questions and Addressing Issues!

DFO We’re Still the Jesus Revolution ML #1592 (All)DFO Forget the Past ML #1958 (All)Dealing with Controversial Subjects Be prayerful in how you deal with controversial subjects. “Know your meat!” Be sensitive to the people you are reaching. Some subjects would be controversial in one countryor with one group of people that would not be controversial in another situation. Be wise and prayerful regarding what literature you give. Some controversies can best be answeredby your own explanation rather than by something on paper. Dad advised us to steer away from discussing the politics or other sensitive issues of the countrywhere we are residing. Stay simple and be sure to state a difference between what we know and what we might think orbelieve.Milk and Meat Although the 12 Foundation Stones course starts off with milk, the goal is to eventually feed thestudents with meat. As Mama explained in “Be True to the Revolution!”: “It is perfectly acceptableto feed babes with milk and to not get into controversial issues when it’s not appropriate” (ML#3364:50). Yet: “It is your responsibility to teach your sheep, to bring them along, to help themreceive the basics of the meat of the Word. We will never have strong disciples unless we win thekind who can receive, believe, and live the meat of the Word” (ML #3364:81–82).Pubs for you to read on this topic:CM/FM Milk or Meat ML #3364: 50–104CM/FM Preaching the Meat ML #3364: 162–177Shepherding with the Word We are responsible to not only teach but to lovingly care for the students. Help people deal with their problems by guiding them to the Word. Ask the Lord to help you relate to people’s problems and show them sympathy and love. Teach them how to use the Word to find the Lord’s will, to fight for and get victories, to gainencouragement. It is vital when counseling people that you leave the decisions in their court. You should not makepersonal decisions for your students. You can show them the Word; you can advise them how tomake the right choices; but the decisions need to be theirs. Ask the Lord for patience. Especially for those who do not have a background of faith, it can takea long time to grow in the Lord. Consider how much mercy and patience He has had with us.Some Problems That May Need to Be Addressed You won’t always be waiting for your students to bring questions to you. Sometimes you’ll seeproblems arising that you will need to take the initiative to address. Some could include the following:gossip, complaining, students suffering opposition to their witness, etc. You will find that Category 6, “Life Issues” and Category 7, “Lifestyle A–Z” have a wealth ofmaterial to help with these topics.Chapter 2: Issues—Answering Questions and Addressing Issues! 17

Giving Them the Tools to Solve Their Problems Jesus is the great solution-giver. Help them look to Him for the answers, rather than drawingthem to yourself as a giver of solutions. You don’t have to know all of the answers. If you don’t know the answer to a question or problem,say so! The main thing is to lead your students to be closer to the Lord and to His Word. Then He’ll takecare of them.On Questions About Personal Relationships Generally speaking, you should aim to be honest with your students regarding obvious personalrelationships that they would notice and that are straightforward, such as who you are marriedto. You’ll need to prayerfully decide, however, if and when to explain more unusual matters, suchas if you have children with another mate, etc. If you are in a country where knowing aboutrelationships outside of marriage would stumble your friends, in that case, “less is more.” Betruthful, but you don’t have to tell everything. Often a simple explanation will satisfy your friends. If anyone in your Home is in a non-conventional personal arrangement (such as a single mother,a threesome, etc.), then prayerfully counsel together about how to explain this. Don’t embark ona “story” that is not based on truth and that you cannot complete or back up. For instance, saying“her husband is traveling” when she is unmarried is not advisable, as her husband is not going toarrive, and of course it isn’t true. Prayerfully decide how to answer such questions before they comeup, so that you won’t be stuck needing an on-the-spot answer from the Lord, especially regardingsomeone else’s situation, because you haven’t yet prayed about how to explain things. You should not discuss private matters with your students that do not concern them, for instanceproblems in your Home, someone’s impending marriage break-up, etc. Consider: “Is this going tohelp them grow in the Lord?” If it is not, why tell?18 Chapter 2: Issues—Answering Questions and Addressing Issues!

In that case,the answer you give may depend on the person who is asking. Do they know what baptism is? Dothey come from a Catholic or Protestant background? Are they sincerely asking why you have notbaptized them in water, or are they skeptically questioning whether you are true believers?Every denomination has its own doctrines. In the early days of the Family we did practice somewater baptism. Please see the files “Water Baptism” and “Baptism Viewpoints” for ideas on how toanswer this question.

We have expectations of the future which are unchangeable, based on theWord—basic concepts such as the return of Jesus. Many of the more detailed predictions or interpretationsabout the future are not so definite. In most cases of teaching students at the 12 FoundationStones level, Bible prophecy should be kept to the basics that we are certain of.

You can tell them that things have got to come to a head pretty soon. Wedo not need to confuse them with all the minor details, nor should we get dogmatic about the year.Another thing that you can be pretty definite about is the order of the major Endtime events,so you can also use that when you witness to others, telling them that those things will be fulfilledsoon, but that you don’t know for sure exactly when they’ll start. Explaining the shortness of time:(ML #2744 by Maria)Look around you!—Look at what’s happening in the world. It’s looking like things can hardlyget much worse than they are right now, but according to the Bible, they’re going to continueto get even worse, until somebody is going to arise on the world scene to pick up the pieces andbring things back together. And the moment someone comes on the scene who’s going to offer asolution, people are going to just grasp at him and his solution desperately. They’re already gettingpretty desperate, but it hasn’t really come to a complete global crisis quite yet. But all over theworld things are taking a nosedive and they’re going down fast. People are getting more and moreconcerned, more and more desperate, more and more willing to grasp at any straw. The Bible saysthat a superman is going to arise who will have a solution, and that all the world will wonderafter him (Rev.13:3). And if you’ll just look around, you’ll see that the world is swiftly coming tosuch a crisis point that they’ll be ready to accept this great world leader that the Bible predicts, theAntichrist. Then once this man assumes full power, the Bible says there will only be 3½ years leftuntil Jesus returns, at which time He [Jesus] will set things right and take over the entire Earth. What can we be sure of when we teach Bible Prophecy?(ML #2210 by Dad)There are certain specifics that we can be sure of and get dogmatic about! We know Jesus iscoming back, and that following His return we are going to go to Heaven to enjoy the MarriageFeast of the Lamb and that gorgeous Heavenly City, while there’s Hell on Earth and the Wrath ofGod is being poured out on defiant, rebellious and wicked Man below! We know that’s going to befollowed by the Battle of Armageddon, which we know is going to be followed by the Millennium!All this is very clear and very specific. And we even know the Millennium’s going to last exactlya thousand years, think of that, and we know it’s going to end with another war, the Battle ofGog and Magog, and be followed by the New Heaven and New Earth!—These are incontrovertiblefacts!—Solid stones in the building of your knowledge of Bible prophecy and coming events!Chapter 2: Issues—Doctrine 23

What we should not get dogmatic about!(ML #2210 by Dad)We cannot be completely dogmatic and always exact to the nth degree in the application orinterpretation or even the categorization of many of the prophetic Scriptures.The Prophets who received many of these revelations never even explained them, often becausethey didn’t understand them either! God’s ways are above our ways, as high as the Heavens areabove the Earth!—Isa.55:9. So we’re not expected to understand everything God does and has andknows!Much of what we have passed on to you has been our personal opinion or personal interpretationsof our personal revelations, and our own theories and logic and reasoning. Don’t get too dogmatic;don’t get too dead-set on one little interpretation, especially something minor, some tinylittle detail. Most of our prophetic teachings are common to Christianity:(ML #2210 by Dad)The Bible says that “no prophecy of God is of private interpretation”(2 Peter 1:20). In otherwords, it must be generally accepted. And the basic principles that I have taught you have beengenerally accepted by the church for centuries, and you can prove them because Scripture afterScripture after Scripture confirms it!I didn’t get all of our prophetic interpretations from myself or in personal revelation from theLord—although I’ve gotten a lot of the details filled in—but the bulk of what I’ve taught you arethings on which most Bible students and scholars of Bible Prophecy agree!

This is an aspect of our lives that sets us apart from most other Christians, and it is alsothe aspect that gets the most publicity. The subject will be covered in the 12 Bridges, but in case theneed arises earlier, you may find the following GP and DFO pubs useful in explaining it. Bear in mind that our application in the Family of the Law of Love to sexual matters is within thecontext of our own environment. If the Lord leads you to start teaching more advanced conceptsof the Law of Love to your students, you should take care that they understand that we are notexpecting them to live in the same way as we do within our communities.

i Other Publications:The Perfect Ones (Heaven’s Library)Loving Jesus—Our Personal Relationship with Him Every Christian can and should have a personal relationship with the Lord! One of the mostwonderful blessings we enjoy in the Family is our intimate relationship with Jesus, thanks tothe revelations that the Lord has given to Maria and Peter. We have grown into this gradually,and likewise we should be leading our students closer to the Lord step by step, starting off withsalvation, then meaningful prayer, praise, and so on. The subject of “Loving Jesus” is presented to some degree throughout the 12 Foundation StonesCourse. There may come a time when you will want to let your students know about how intimatethey can be with Jesus if they wish. If you ask Him, the Lord will show you when will be anappropriate time for your particular students. Much will depend on the culture of the country andtheir background. When the time comes that you want to tell your friends about this subject, youwill find the pubs in this section helpful. (This will also be covered somewhat in the 12 Bridges.

While we believe Paul was inspired by God in his writingsand ministry, we consider as non-binding the parts where he himself says he is speaking and notthe Lord. Some things are his personal opinion, a result of his culture and upbringing. We believe weare free to go further than some of the limitations he suggested, according to passages from his ownwritings as well as from other Scripture.This outlook on Paul’s writings is important to be able to explain, otherwise students couldbe confused when they find that some of our writings go beyond his. For instance, we have takensome of the principles that he outlined, such as “All things are lawful unto me, but not all thingsChapter 2: Issues—Doctrine 27

are profitable” and developed them further, applying them to today.

You’ll find helpful counsel on the variousaspects of this in the pubs above. A few points to bear in mind:You may like to explain that because we are full-time missionaries, we hold our services in ourown homes rather than investing resources in a separate church building.Many Homes hold fellowships such as a Church of Love on Sunday or another day of the week.Although we may not “go to church,” we do have people come to our “church in the home.”For those who haven’t been attending church until now, it would be better to encourage them toattend your fellowship rather than joining another church.Be prayerful not to offend or condemn any friends who have already been attending church andmay continue to do so. Perhaps until now, attending church has been their only means of fellowshipwith other believers or their only spiritual feeding. Once their spiritual needs are being fulfilledin fellowship with you, they may or may not decide of their own accord to stop attending theirformer church.CircumcisionGP Circumcision Book ExcerptDFO Circumcision ML #635 and ML #1946:18–4034 Chapter 2: Issues—Religion

Answering the question, “Do you circumcise your male children?”Parents in the Family make their own decisions about this. There is no basic doctrine that weshould or should not. Please see the pubs listed above for more details.Cross and CrucifixDFO Sign of the Cross ML #1566:15CM Sign of the Son of Man ML #2218 (All) Answering the question, “Why don’t you make the sign of the cross?”Making the sign of the cross is neither instructed nor forbidden in the Bible, and we do nothave a Family doctrine on it. Making the sign of the cross on oneself is not something that Familymembers usually do, but you can if you are led, as a way of identifying with the people you areministering to.Faith HealingDFO Faith-Healers Compiled QuotesDFO Cultivate Miracle Power New Wine ML #3305:114–119CM Power in Your Hands?

Besides the major divisions–Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox—there are hundreds if not thousands of denominational groupswithin these divisions.From our point of view, as long as a church or denomination has the right foundation of Jesus asthe only way to salvation, then the minor details don’t matter so much. As Dad wrote, “The truechurch are the genuine Christian believers in God who follow Jesus—the born-again, saved Body ofChrist—not a building or a denomination or a religion! Anyone who believes in Jesus is part of theChurch!” (ML #142:32). See also 1 Corinthians 12. Answering the question, “Are you Catholics or Protestants?”We are usually grouped with Protestants, although as Dad has pointed out, some of our doctrinesare closer to Catholicism.i See section 5 (below) for what our attitude should be towards other Christian denominations.MaryCM Mary ML #1304:6–14, #2167:108–109, #1566:6 “What about the Virgin Mary?”The Bible honors Mary for her role in bringing Jesus into the world. However we do not agreethat the extreme adulation and worship she is given by some in the Roman Catholic Church isnecessary or Scriptural.Keep in mind also that the Lord is merciful and if some Christians find that focusing on Maryhelps them get closer to the Lord, He is not going to condemn them for that, much the same as Hewon’t condemn them if a statue or a picture helps them focus their prayers. We also have picturesof Jesus that we sometimes use as prayer aids.Section 4: The World’s Religions This section deals with the beliefs of the main religions of the world outside of Christianity.

We hold to the Biblicaldoctrine that there is “no Jew nor Greek in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28), and “he is not a Jew whois one outwardly” (Romans 2:28). Although the Jews were chosen by God as those He revealed Histruth and His plan to first, once He sent Jesus, only those who received Him became God’s chosenpeople.38 Chapter 2: Issues—Religion

We do not believe that a person of the Jewish race can be saved without receiving Jesus as theMessiah. The way of salvation is the same for everyone!—“Neither is there salvation in any other…” (Acts 4:12)We believe that a person of the Jewish race who does receive Jesus is not any better a Christianthan someone from another racial group.—“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannotinherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 15:50), “for there is no distinction between Jew andGreek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him” (Romans 10:12).We believe that the Lord loves everyone regardless of race, religion, color or creed, and will judgeeach person individually. As Mama expressed in “God Is No Respecter of Persons” (ML #2909), “Weare supposed to love all people the same. It is our belief that Jesus died and gave His life for all Mankind.How could He give His life for the Jew and also for the Gentile and love one of them any lessthan the other?—When He has shown the very greatest love possible for both by dying for each oneof them. … I may not agree with or like the Jews’ “theology” as much, and I believe most of themhave been misled in being taught that Jesus is not the Son of God. But as people whom Jesus diedfor, I have as much of a desire for them to know Him as I do for our Gentile friends” (ML #2909:29,32)For more on this, please see the section “Racism” in Category 5, The World.(While we do believe that some of the conspirators in the Antichrist’s plan for world conquestare probably Jewish, not every person of Jewish heritage is part of the conspiracy.) Answering the question: “Is Israel the Holy Land?”According to the Scriptures, God’s original promises to the Hebrew people of the physical land ofIsrael were conditional.—See Leviticus and Deuteronomy. (Deuteronomy 28:1—“Now it shall cometo pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God … that the Lord your God will setyou high above all nations of the earth.”) However, the Jews did not “obey the voice of the Lord, toobserve carefully all His commandments and His statutes” (Deuteronomy 28:15). Years later, Danielwas led by the Lord to pray: “All Israel has transgressed Your law, and has departed so as not to obeyYour voice; therefore the curse and the oath written in the Law of Moses the servant of God havebeen poured out on us, because we have sinned against Him” (Daniel 9:11). The Jewish people hadnot fulfilled the conditions that God gave them, and therefore the promises were voided.Thus, according to our understanding of the Scriptures, we do not believe the Jewish people haveany divine claim to the physical land of Israel. We believe that Israel’s repression of the Palestinianshas been unjust and that the peoples living in the region, whether they be Jews or Arabs, shouldseek to find a peaceful solution so that the land can be shared fairly.Eastern ReligionsDFO Confucianism ML #1283:107–133DFO Idolatry , Animism , etc. ML #1369:1–37, and othersDFO Major Religions of Asia CLTP #004DFO Yoga Dangers ML #1587 (All)CM Buddhism ML #1409:13–14CM Hinduism ML #1952 (All)CM TM and Hinduism, etc ML #1854 (All)CM Transcendental Meditation ML #1852 (All)Minority ReligionsDFO Cults Become Religions ML #2357:48–51DFO Moonies & Hare Krishna ML #2474:12–14DFO Mormonism Compiled (ML #2357:40–45,51–54;2889:27–35)DFO New Age Outlook #3CM/FM Falun Gong Persecuted ML #3311:47–61Chapter 2: Issues—Religion 39

We should be tolerant of other parts ofthe Body, no matter the differences (though they are often not so tolerant of us in return).Try to dwell on what you have in common, not differences. In your relationship with otherChristians, seek out common ground and let that be the focus of your relationship. Do not seekcontroversy. If it is brought up, then use the Word and the Statements to explain your point ofview. Then get back to fellowshipping over what you have in common.The attitude to take towards other Christian denominations was expressed as follows by aFamily member in Eastern Europe:“Every church strives for doctrinal correctness, but when a group of believers, whether they arelarge or small, believes that they are the only ones who have found the Truth, they tend to becomeself-righteous and attack all others as heretics. Each church believes that they have found the bestinterpretation of Scripture, but we must recognize that man is fallible and has made many seriousmistakes throughout history and actions of intolerance and bigotry do not lead to the furtheranceof the cause of Christ. Although complete Christian unity seems very unlikely until Christ returns40 Chapter 2: Issues—Religion

to set up His kingdom on earth, we as Christians have a duty to the unbelieving world to show loveand tolerance to those of other persuasions. As Jesus said, ‘By this shall all men know that ye areMy disciples, that ye have love one for another.’ He did not say that all men would know that weare His disciples by the perfectness of our doctrines. Christians may not always be able to see eye to eye,but they can walk hand in hand. Unity (or at the very least tolerance) amongst the various branches ofChristianity will be of greater importance to the survival of the church as the world heads towardgreater secularism in the Last Days.” Relating to people of other faithsDad’s counsel was “be winsome!” There is almost always something positive to say aboutanother religion. For instance, Mormons go out and witness for at least two years. Even if you don’tagree with their doctrines, you can admire their dedication. False teachings: Knowing the balance of when to correct them or notYou may sometimes be asked whether a certain belief is true or not.If you are asked specific things that you know are wrong, you could say something like, “Itdoesn’t say so in the Bible,” or “From my understanding of the Bible, I don’t see it that way.” Thatanswers the issue in a non-condemning way.You may be asked about something to which you’ll simply answer, “I don’t know.” For instance,if you’re asked about some fine point of what is believed by another religion, “I don’t know” willprobably be your answer!There will be times when you’ll need to address a false doctrine head on. For instance, if yourstudent comes to you saying they heard in their church that we’re already living in the Millennium,you’ll want to correct that!When you need to correct a false doctrine, do so by showing your students the Word. That waytheir faith will be founded on the Word, and this will give them ballast against the winds of falsedoctrine. Allies in the fight for religious toleranceWe will work with just about anyone or any group for the furtherance of the Lord’s work,even if we definitely disagree with them from a doctrinal standpoint. In our struggles for religioustolerance, we have found ourselves in alliance with a variety of groups. It doesn’t mean we agreewith them, but we consider that they have the same rights to believe as we should have, and that’swhy we’re allies on the battlefront of religious freedom. Let the light in!There are times when you want to clearly expose a false doctrine, and others when you’ll wantto emphasise the points we agree on, or the person’s right to believe as he chooses. Let the Lord leadyou!Remember, if you let the light in, the darkness will flee of itself. Lift up Jesus! The moreyou immerse your students in the Word, the more truth they will understand, and they’ll startdiscerning for themselves what is truth or not!Religious PersecutionGP Coming Persecution Christian Digest #2GP Gallio and the Mob of Liars Good Thots, page 354GP Is Life so Dear?

This issue is covered in the 12 Bridges course. If it comes up earlierfor your students, then you may prayerfully consider some angles to go over with them, such as:Show them that the Bible has a lot to say about persecution. Jesus promised, “If they havepersecuted Me, they will also persecute you” (John 15:20). A number of the GP pubs in the listingabove can be used to explain this.Teach them about standing up for their convictions.—See Issues Category 3, Section 4: “OurRelationship as Christians with the World: Conviction vs. Compromise.”Teach them about using wisdom to avoid unnecessary troubles—see 12 Foundation Stones classeson witnessing.i For more on the Family’s experience of persecution, see Category 8.Anti-Religionists This section looks at those who oppose religion, either from a secular or religious standpoint, andparticularly those who actively oppose small religious groups.GP ACM & Deprogramming Outlook #6GP ACM & Persecution PEN #1GP Insights Compiled academic articlesGP Insights Video VideoGP Religious Persecution StatementGP Stand Up For Religious Freedom StatementCM ACM in Europe ML #2973:14–16 and other sections42 Chapter 2: Issues—Religion

Issues—The Familyi Note: The following pubs explain some of the more common aspects of the Family. Many of thesetopics will be taught as classes in the 12 Bridges course. If the students can wait until then, that’s fine.Eventually all those who wish to advance into closer circles of discipleship will need to understandmore in depth about the Family and will need the well-rounded explanations that will be in the 12Bridges. We hope that in the meantime, if you need to explain Family issues, the following will behelpful.i (At the time of compiling this list, the 12 Bridges course is not yet complete and for this reason, wehave not been able to include references to the relevant classes.)Section 1: IntroductionLetting People Know Who You Are The pubs in this section are for your information, and give wise counsel about when and how toexplain that you are part of the Family.CM Finding the Balance ML #2826CM Letting People Know Who You Are Maria #65CM/FM Letting Them Know You’re the Family!

Can you show your friends the Charter?Yes. The Charter is a DFO publication that can be shown to your friends as the need arises.However, you should be aware that if they glance through the Charter even briefly, they may noticesections that are controversial—rules governing sexual behavior, for instance. Be prepared to explainwhat they notice. If you don’t feel they are ready to learn about the more controversial side of ourlives, then it is probably better not to show them the Charter yet. There is a Statement that can begiven instead: “The Family Adopts a Charter.” Answering the question, “But why won’t you have another drink?”Or, “Go out with me?” … or, “Have a smoke?”—As the Lord leads, you may want to explain thatwe have a book of rules that we abide by (the Charter). Every organization has rules!Having to abide by rules is not unusual. Every group of people in society—every organization,church, movement, business, political party, etc., has some sort of rules. Sometimes to work abroadwith a company or voluntary organization you must agree to a code of conduct. Perhaps at that jobyou have to forego alcohol and/or abide by a certain dress code.If you confidently explain the Charter in this light, that we have a code of conduct, as well asrules for how our communities are run, guidelines for the elections of leadership of our local community,etc., your friends should not have difficulty understanding it. Be prayerful in answering personal questionsIt will not always be appropriate to use the Charter to explain why you will or will not do something.Sometimes it may be better to talk about your personal convictions (such as smoking notbeing healthy) or personal preference (“I don’t like the smell of smoke and don’t want to waste mymoney on an unhealthy habit.”).66 Chapter 2: Issues—The Family

The fact that our children are well cared for is obvious to those who meet us, and has beenindependently verified in numerous studies. Accusations of abuseThe Family has faced serious accusations of child abuse. We do not tolerate abuse. In every casewhere we faced legal proceedings, the courts exonerated us. These are the basic facts which you arewelcome to repeat to your friends:In the early 1990s, more than 600 children of Family members (approximately one out of everyten children in the Family) were examined by court-appointed officials. 326 of these children weretaken into state custody following armed raids in Spain, Argentina, Australia, and France. Afterextensive physical, psychological, and educational testing, no evidence of abuse was found. Eachchild was returned to the care of his or her parents in The Family. (Details can be found in the“Family Vindicated” publication in the section below, “Persecution.”)As Christians, our code of life is to love God and others. “Loving others” certainly means notharming them. As parents, we love our children, want to do our best for them and protect them.As a movement, we attempt to organize ourselves in such a way that our members are well-caredfor and able to follow their God-given leadings. Putting that into simple terms: We do not condoneabuse or ill-treatment of children or of anyone, for that matter, and the Charter makes this veryclear.Having said that, we recognize mistakes have been made in our 30-year history. Maria explainsthis in ML #3016, “An Answer to Him that Asketh Us.” (Included in the “Persecution” sectionbelow.) We do not deny that some problems have ever happened, but we have worked vigorouslyto correct and rectify whatever may have happened in isolated cases in the past. We have putsafeguards in place to do all that is within our power to ensure our children are safe and notharmed. Many scholars with firsthand knowledge of our movement attest that our children are assafe, if not safer, than those in mainstream society.Chapter 2: Issues—The Family 67

Introducing Dad to friends (from Maria #73)I thought that the way your Home introduced Dad to your friends was good. You may havebeen a little slow about it, but you weren’t sure how your friends would react, so you were cautious,which was good. You let them read some Letters without telling them who wrote them. Thisis what we did with our early disciples. They read the lit, but they didn’t know who it was comingfrom. They got so hooked on the lit, they loved it, and by the time they found out who wrote it,they were already hooked!—They loved the author’s words, so they loved the author. You couldhave told them it was written by the Pope and they would have loved the Pope!—In other words,it didn’t matter who it was written by because they loved it, and they knew it was true, and it hadhelped to change their lives! After your friends had been reading the Letters and were hooked, thenyou explained about Dad, and no matter what bad news they’d heard about him, it didn’t phasethem because they knew he had good fruit and they knew it was the truth.At first you started with the basic Bible lessons and classes which the Catholics believe andrespect, and then you went from there to DMs and milky Letters, and then finally when yourfriends really got to the point where they were receptive to everything and the Word was changingthem, then by the time you explained who Dad was, it didn’t bother your friends at all, no matterwhat lies they might have heard about him, because they knew they couldn’t be true! So maybethat is the best way to do it, maybe it is best to go a little bit slow. But time is short!—We can’tdrag it out too long.Once they say, “These things are wonderful! They really speak to me! They’re really the truth,give me more!” and they put their stamp of approval on them, then, if you tell them who theauthor is, they can hardly change their mind. When they’re so receptive to what the author hasto say, they can hardly turn around and say they don’t like the author. If they’re really sold on themessage, they’ll be sold on the author as well, they almost have no choice!”i See also: “Our Founder” pages on the Family Web site:http://www.thefamily.org/about/davidberg.phphttp://www.thefamily.org/ourfounder/ourfounder.htmIntroducing Mama and PeterDFO Ask Mama—Part 1 New Wine ML #3192aDFO Ask Mama—Part 2 New Wine ML #3192DFO Ask Mama—Part 3 New Wine ML #3281DFO Mama’s Surprise New Wine ML #3133DFO Our Love Story ML #1358CM Maria Prophecies MOP, page 645CM/FM Ask Mama—Part 4 ML #3281CM Mama’s Confession ML #2343:15–132CM Mama’s Life Story ML #1799CM/FM Mama’s Love Story & King Peter TS GN#11CM Mama’s Prayer ML #2976CM Maria Shall Shine ML #2192CM Prophecies for Maria ML #1741:113–163Chapter 2: Issues—The Family 69

Section 4: Special FeaturesPersecution Against the Family Your friends should be taught fairly early in their relationship with you about the persecutionsthat the Family has endured, and will yet endure. The Family is still sometimes highlighted by themedia in connection with police raids, seizures of children, false allegations of child abuse, FFing,etc. It is better that they hear about it from you first, so you can explain the issues, than that theyhear it from another source.GP Religious Persecution StatementGP Legal Brief 1999 (The Family Vindicated) StatementGP Research Catalogue Local PubGP Results Local PubDFO Persecution Against the Family ML #2884:3–18DFO An Answer to Him That Asketh ML #3016 (All)DFO Dad’s Statement to the Media In Japan ML #2816 (All)DFO Anti-God War Against COG ML #585r (All)CM ACM in Europe ML #2973:14–20CM Happiest Ending ML #2879CM History of Persecution ML #2474CM Our Day in Court ML #1763CM Our Persecutions ML #2514:10–36CM Prayer for Protection ML #765CM Pray for the Persecuted ML #2868CM Religious Persecution Against the Family ML #2910:15–125CM Why Do Ye Stone Us? ML #2835 Allegations against the Family were malicious and unfoundedThe accusations made against the Family have been disproved by independent experts. See thepubs listed above, “Results,” as well as the “Catalogue of Research Material” which lists the mainbooks and studies. Why these accusations of abuse were religious persecutionWe have sometimes been asked, “Why do you claim that this is ‘religious persecution’ when thecharges against you have nothing to do with religion?” While it’s true that the actual charges levelledagainst our members usually have little to do with religion per se, we can look at this questionas follows:Most states guarantee religious freedom. It would be difficult for any democratic state to knockdown the doors of a religious group on the basis that they do not like their religion. Therefore apretext is needed. In our case, the pretext was alleged abuse. If the issue about our movement wasgenuine concern for our children, then the courts have answered this. Nearly 700 of our childrenhave been examined. Courts and independent experts in numerous countries are satisfied that ourchildren are safe; they are well cared for and certainly not harmed in our communities.i Also see the earlier section, “Care of Children,” above.Tithing Members of the Family tithe, which supports our movement. We also receive support via thetithes of our members. Your students should be encouraged to tithe either to your Home or to theFamily. These pubs explain tithing.GP Blessings of Giving Treasures, page 770GP Giving Bible Basics, page 80GP Windows of Heaven Treasures, page 76470 Chapter 2: Issues—The Family

Some of the language gets adopted by society in general (we all now understandthat a “mouse” is a device attached to a computer); some language remains used only or mainlyby the select group. We in the Family have also adopted our own particular vocabulary, whichis ever-growing. As time goes by, we can tend to forget that the expression we’re using is notsomething commonly understood, at least not in the way that we’re using it! It will be helpfulto your students to be gradually introduced to Family expressions as this will help them in theirunderstanding of the pubs—particularly the most advanced DFO pubs such as New Wine.

THE YEAR OF THE CRUCIFIXIONIn 630 B.C., Daniel predicted there would be 483 years (69 “sevens” ) from the decreeto rebuild Jerusalem until the Messiah would be “cut off” (rejected or killed). History tellsus that there were precisely 483 years between these two events!Daniel 9:25—Know therefore andunderstand, that from the going forth of thecommand to restore and build Jerusalem untilMessiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeksand sixty-two weeks; the street shall be builtagain, and the wall, even in troublesome times.453B.C.HISTORICAL FULFILMENTArtaxerxes Longimanus, king of the Persians, gives decreecommanding the Jews to “restore and build Jerusalem”WHY THE 69 WEEKS = 483 YEARS“Week” was translated from theHebrew word shabua which means“seven.”Because 1 “week” = 7 yearsTherefore:69 “sevens” means69 x 7 years = 483 years483 years between the twoevents:453 years B.C.+ 30 years A.D.———————483 yearsDaniel 9:26a—And after the sixty-two weeksMessiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself;and the people of the prince who is to come shalldestroy the city and the sanctuary.30A.D.Jesus was crucifi ed in 30 A.D.In 70 A.D., Jerusalem was destroyed by theRoman armies of General Titus

Then we examined the “prayer habit” and different ways to pray.Jesus never fails! He will always answer when we stir ourselves to call upon Him with a wholeheart. However, He does not always answer us right away, which sometimes tests our faith anddraws us closer to Him in the spirit as we are driven to His Word to try to find some answers fromwhat He has already said while waiting for more direct and specific answers in prayer. But if youstay close to Him, He’ll never fail you. He’ll never forsake you, He’ll never let you down. His delays110Examine Yourself

We looked at examples in the Bible that show howimportant prophecy has been for God’s people, and then we looked at how the Lord still speakstoday and would like to speak to us. We also discussed how to receive prophecies. (Some of youhave probably experienced receiving the Lord’s “living Word” since then.)Target: Learn to use the gift of prophecy!Key verse: Acts 2:17–18—And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of MySpirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old menshall dream dreams.

Y N (Class 7B) Bible Prophecy, Part 2: Signs of the Times Summary: We studied Matthew 24, in which Jesus described the signs that we should look out forthat indicate He will return soon. Some of the signs He warned us to look out for: Deceivers; Fallingaway from faith; Wars and rumors of wars; Civil wars (nation against nation); Famines; Pestilences;Earthquakes and other natural disasters; Persecution of God’s people; Love of many growing cold;Gospel preached in all the world; One World Government; false Christs and false prophets.We discussed some of the ways these signs are being fulfilled in the present day, which is why webelieve that we are living in the “Time of the End.” We also looked briefly at what we can expect tohappen once He returns.Target: Watch for the signs of the times!Key verse: Matthew 24:29–31—Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, andthe moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

We experienced together the joy of the Lord through singing to Him andhearing about the different aspects of His love. Of course, when we looked at the subject of “God’sgreat love for you” we could only explore some of the many facets of the love of God. This was nota complete inventory of every way that He shows us love, but even the relatively few examples wetalked about are wonderful!Some key thoughts from this class: Jesus calls us His friends. Jesus loves each of us personally,and cares about us as individuals. He holds our hands. He holds us in His arms. He is always withus! Jesus hears our cries and answers our prayers. The Lord not only listens, but talks to us too, as afaithful Counselor. He carries our burdens. He comforts us. He strengthens us. We can depend uponHis help. In Jesus we find peace. He takes care of our needs. He brings solutions to our problems. Hewants us to be happy. He works things out for our benefit. Through Jesus we receive forgiveness.He came to save us and give us eternal life! His love is unchanging and never-ending.Target: Get closer to Jesus and know His love and salvation!Examine Yourself113

Do you enjoy taking a little time with Jesus, talking and/or singing to Him, and letting Him speak to you? Y N (Class 8B) The Greatest Love, Part 2: Eternal Salvation Summary: In this class we studied Eternal Salvation and saw how we received Salvation by grace.Salvation means an eternity in Heaven with the God of love! We didn’t earn our salvation, it was afree gift for us! But Someone did pay for it, and that was Jesus. When Jesus died on the cross in ourplace, He fulfilled the old Law. Jesus’ death ended the Mosaic Law and ushered in the era of grace.Salvation is forever. We didn’t work for it in the first place, and we cannot lose it by anything we do ordo not do. We also looked at the consequences of sin for the saved. Being saved does not mean that wecan do whatever we want! Although we can’t lose our salvation, there are other consequences.During this class we also learned about the meaning of the Lord’s Supper, Communion.Target: Understand that salvation is forever!Key verse: Ephesians 2:8–9—For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it isthe gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.32.

Of course,when we’re thinking of the beauties of Heaven, the very best to look forward to is the presence of theLord and our saved loved ones! We also discussed our responsibility to let people know about Heaven.Target: Anticipate our Heavenly future!Key verse: John 14:2–3—In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I goto prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; thatwhere I am, there you may be also.34. Have you been encouraged by the description of Heaven?Y N 35. Have you ever told anyone how they can be saved and go to Heaven?Y N (Class 9B) Heaven, Part 2: Now and Forever Summary: We learned more about what life is like in Heaven and what our resurrected bodieswill be like. In the second part of this class we looked at our “heavenly co-workers”—the “cloud ofwitnesses” who surround us. Heaven is a busy place, and those already living there are often busyhelping us here on Earth. One way they help is by speaking to us. We looked at Bible examples ofthose who deliver prophecies and learned about communication in the heavenly realm.Those of us who have received Jesus are guaranteed a place in Heaven; yet the rewards we willreceive upon arrival are dependent upon what we do in this life. We discussed the challenge to preparefor Heaven by doing more for others and for the Lord.Target: Lay up rewards in Heaven!Key verse: John 11:25–26—Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, thoughhe may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.”114Examine Yourself

This is what the Lord expects us to do. We should desire to share thewonderful gifts of God’s love, His joy, His eternal Salvation, with those we care about, as well as withstrangers. In this class we looked at “Seven Steps of Witnessing,” taking it from the starting line offinding someone to witness to, all the way through to leading them to the Lord and then taking careof them. The Seven Steps are: (1) Find someone to witness to! (2) Ask questions. (3) Listen! (4) Givethem God’s answers. (5) Get a decision. (6) Take care of those you lead to the Lord.

The aim was to helpus all evaluate our habits, modes of recreation and way of living according to God’s standards.Target: Understand God’s ways!Key verse: Colossians 3:2—Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.46. Do the music you prefer to listen to, and the TV programs and movies that you watch, encourage you and leave youfeeling uplifted? Y N 47. Do you apologize to someone you have wronged? Y N (Class 12B) Going God’s Way, Part 2: What Is His Will? Summary: We started by looking at “God’s will for you.” We should desire to please the Lord,and we should seek His will both for ourselves and our possessions. We’re going to be wonderfullyrewarded for doing His will, even though it is not always easy and we may face opposition.We know God’s general will through the Word we’ve studied over the past months. How do wefind out specifics that apply to ourselves, and how do we make the best decisions? In the secondpart of the class we studied “Seven ways to know the will of God”: (1) The Word. (2) The Voice ofthe Word. (3) Revelations. (4) Advisors and Counselors. (5) Circumstances and Conditions. (6) Personaldesires. (7) “Fleeces.”Target: Find what God’s will is for you!Key verse: Psalms 143:10—Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in theland of uprightness.48. Have you given money or materials to help the needy or God’s work at least once in the past month? Y N 49. Do you desire to tell others about Jesus? Y N 50. Do you want to do God’s will? Y N Keep your score to yourself!We’ll give you a minute now to tally up your score—but just keep it to yourself. No one shouldcompare with others as it really is just between you and the Lord.116 Examine Yourself

We can talk all we want to about a lot of wonderfulthings, but unless we help people to understand exactly what we mean, they may be gettingeverything all wrong, because they will be interpreting everything by their own meanings. To effectivelycommunicate, both parties have to assign the same meanings to words; they have to definewords and concepts the same way or they cannot effectively communicate. Instead, they will haveserious misunderstandings because one person defines a word one way and another person anotherway, so actually they’re not talking about the same thing, but instead two different things. It’s veryimportant that we make ourselves clear as to exactly what we mean. If there is any chance thatthe person to whom we are speaking will not understand our terminology, we should either defineit the way we are using it, or use another term that will better express what we mean and will begiven the same definition by both us and the person we’re talking to.

PET SHOPComposed by Michael FridleyVerse 1Passin’ by a pretty pet shop window,The captives there were barking at their walls.No one had time to stop and give them comfortOr answer when the voice of bondage called.Then turning back and going on my journey,I realized the world was just the same;The people who were walking here beside meWere only in a little bigger cage.ChorusListen to me, my brother,If you’re lookin’ to be free,Hear the words of freedom,There’s a place for you and me.Get on board,Don’t be left out in the storm,Before the chance is gone we must flee.Verse 2I wish I had a way to break your cagesAnd lift the iron bars from off your walls;But you alone can break the bars of bondageAnd take the hand of freedom when she calls.I see the lonely tears within you cryin’,Although your face is dry and wears a smile;There’s so much more to life than being emptyWhen you could have had the answers all thewhile.[Repeat Chorus]PRINCE OF PEACEComposed by Ruth GordonVerse 1God only knows the years I’ve spentTrying to tell you of the loveThat He has tried to give to man;But you’ve all hardened your hearts,Your eyes are closed, your ears are deaf,But if you reach out now, He’ll give you a hand.ChorusOh, He’s the Prince of Peace, no, He’ll never die.No, He’ll never leave you, even if you try to hide.It’s time for you to turn aroundAnd see Him face-to-face;Know that it was not in vain He died.Verse 2What’s the use in strivingFor passing earthly pleasures,Laying up for yourself what can never satisfy?You wander from city to city,Looking for friends that really love you,But what can you expectFrom people who are lonely just like you?[Repeat Chorus]Verse 3There’s a whole new life waiting,It’s a gift of God!Let Him free you from yourself,Take His hand and come along!The road is narrow, but we’ll make it by His grace;We’re all in it together,Seeking for a heavenly place.[Repeat Chorus]REACH FOR THE SKYComposed by Michael DooleyVerse 1Do you ever feel so alone,And you can’t see your way?Do you ever feel this worldHas left you behind?In your hour of deepest trial,Hope is there with a comforting smile,Whispering these words to your heart:Chorus 1Keep holding on to your dreams (hold on to yourdreams)Through the darkest night.Reach for the light (reach for the light)Of the morning star.And though you can’t see,Love will lead the way.If you be lieve,You will know some day.Any dream you dream can come trueIf you reach for the sky.Verse 2Love has the eyes to seeWhat no other can see.Love has the power to touchAnd mend broken lives.The light that’s shining in your smileCan be the sun in somebody’s sky,And turn their night into day.[Repeat Chorus 1]Chorus 2Keep holding on to your dreams.(Hold on to your dreams.)(Reach for the light.
