This conference provides a practical and scriptural framework for understanding the benefits of practicing sexual abstinence before marriage and faithfulness within marriage.

Genesis 45

¹⁴Joseph and Benjamin hugged each other and started crying. ¹⁵Joseph was still crying as he kissed each of his other brothers. After this, they started talking with Joseph.

Proverbs 1

These are the proverbs
of King Solomon of Israel,
    the son of David.
²Proverbs will teach you
    wisdom and self-control
    and how to understand
    sayings with deep meanings.
³You will learn what is right
    and honest and fair.
⁴From these, an ordinary person
    can learn to be smart,
    and young people can gain
    knowledge and good sense.

⁵If you are already wise,
    you will become even wiser.
And if you are smart,
you will learn to understand
⁶    proverbs and sayings,
as well as words of wisdom
    and all kinds of riddles.
⁷Respect and obey the Lord!
This is the beginning
    of knowledge.^[a]
    Only a fool rejects wisdom
    and good advice.

The True Shepherd and His Flock; the False Shepherd and His Flock

Rev. Sun Myung Moon
April 6, 1958

What must you become? You must become God’s flock of sheep. For the last 6,000 years, God has been calling for and looking for a flock of true sheep over whom Heaven and earth can rejoice. Moreover, He is seeking that flock of sheep today. He will seek them tomorrow too.

Where is the flock of sheep God and Jesus can rejoice over? If you want to become a true flock of sheep, you must be able to discern the voice of the true shepherd. In the same way that there are two worlds representing the internal and external ideology of God, there is an appeal for the truth which represents the internal world and an appeal for the truth which represents the external world.

You Must Bring the Internal and External Worlds Together

Rev. 11

¹⁹The door to God’s temple in heaven was then opened, and the sacred chest^[b] could be seen inside the temple. I saw lightning and heard roars of thunder. The earth trembled and huge hailstones fell to the ground.

Proverbs 17

Crooks accept secret bribes
    to keep justice
    from being done.
²⁴Anyone with wisdom knows
    what makes good sense,
    but fools can never
    make up their minds.

The True Shepherd and His Flock; the False Shepherd and His Flock

Rev. Sun Myung Moon

Although there are many churches in the world, there is none which can conform completely to the will of God. If there is a heaven, then the truth will be made the center. Based on that, relationships will be built with the internal and external dimensions. Moreover, as phenomena of the end of time, there will be conflicts among the religious groups. For any religion or group, this will begin on the individual level and expand to the family, church, national and world levels, in that order. A nation also has the two dimensions of the internal and the external. The world is divided into the left and right sides. These must become one.

Luke 7

7 After Jesus had finished teaching the people, he went to Capernaum. ²In that town an army officer’s servant was sick and about to die. The officer liked this servant very much. ³And when he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish leaders to ask him to come and heal the servant.

⁴The leaders went to Jesus and begged him to do something. They said, “This man deserves your help! ⁵He loves our nation and even built us a meeting place.” ⁶So Jesus went with them.

When Jesus wasn’t far from the house, the officer sent some friends to tell him, “Lord, don’t go to any trouble for me! I am not good enough for you to come into my house. ⁷And I am certainly not worthy to come to you. Just say the word, and my servant will get well. ⁸I have officers who give orders to me, and I have soldiers who take orders from me. I can say to one of them, ‘Go!’ and he goes. I can say to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes. I can say to my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he will do it.”

⁹When Jesus heard this, he was so surprised that he turned and said to the crowd following him, “In all of Israel I’ve never found anyone with this much faith!”

¹⁰The officer’s friends returned and found the servant well.

Richard: We need faith like this army officer. We must know assuredly that God’s Will will be done as we have faith in the Will.

Proverbs 4

Keep looking straight ahead,
    without turning aside.
²⁶Know where you are headed,
    and you will stay
    on solid ground.
²⁷Don’t make a mistake by turning
    to the right or the left.

1 Chronicles 6

¹⁶Levi’s three sons had sons of their own. ¹⁷Gershon was the father of Libni and Shimei. ¹⁸Kohath was the father of Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. ¹⁹Merari was the father of Mahli and Mushi. These descendants of Levi each became leaders of their own clans.

Proverbs 6

My child, suppose you agree
to pay the debt of someone,
    who cannot repay a loan.
²Then you are trapped
    by your own words,
³    and you are now in the power
    of someone else.
Here is what you should do:
    Go and beg for permission
    to call off the agreement.
⁴Do this before you fall asleep
    or even get sleepy.
⁵Save yourself, just as a deer
or a bird
    tries to escape
    from a hunter.

Richard: Going into debt is not a good idea, either for an individual or a family or nation. The total United States national debut is $20,000,000,000,000 (20 trillion dollars.) Every child wen born now owes more that $300,000 in national debt. This is not the way to build a prosperous future for our children.

CSG 547

We must know that just as we need-
ed to be healthy in the womb to be born
to lead a healthy life on earth, we need a
wholesome earthly life to have a whole-
some life in heaven. As the world today
is one of conflict under the dominion
of evil, we must we must be resolved
to fight to the death in order to be
blessed with the cooperation of heaven
and earth and to keep in step with the
dynamic fortunes of the universe. We
must resolve that our descendants will
never be placed in the same position as
we have been.” (49-308, 1971.10.17)

Proverbs 22

Teach your children
    right from wrong,
    and when they are grown
    they will still do right.
⁷The poor are ruled by the rich,
    and those who borrow
    are slaves of moneylenders.
⁸Troublemakers get in trouble,
    and their terrible anger
    will get them nowhere.
