Would a father who carries out his role as a father centered on true love say to his children, "I am the father, so respect me!"? No, he would not. If the children feel that their father really loves them, they would naturally want to be more filial to their father. It is the same. Instead of saying, "Since I am the man, you as a woman have to follow me! You have to serve me!" If the husband lives for the sake of his wife, his wife would naturally stand in the position of object and would want to attend her husband.-- Hyun Jin Moon, Fukuoka Church Visit, December 11, 2004

Ultimately, I would have to become a member of God's family for God to look at my family and think, "our family." Through what can I become close to God? It is through the heart. If we had been living for the sake of others, the love of living for the sake of others would be as natural as eating and sleeping. (As Hyun Jin Nim clasps his hands together) Thus we would become this close with God.-- Hyun Jin Moon, Yeongnam (Southeastern Korea) Region Rally, November 25, 2004
