The importance of the Word
True Parents' words are like a textbook that we should read every day. It is a guide for our daily life. If you read their words, you will get an idea about what you should do today.
Unlike the past, you must have confidence and take pride in mobilizing all of the spirit world together with True Parents. (2006.07.02, Valletta, Malta)
To you, True Parents' words are a guide and textbook. The person who has no work to do is the most pitiful. We are happy people because we have a lot of work to do.
You should be able to share this happiness with those around you and have a great dream to return that happiness to God abundantly. I believe that only True Father's words and ideas can resolve the problems happening all over the world.
That is why leaders who can give lectures must be sent out to many nations. We need many leaders. If you equip yourself with True Father's words and teachings, then you can accomplish the work of 100 people. Imagine if all the people around you would come together for the sake of carrying out God's Will. (2006.08.18, Honiara, Solomon Islands)
You will not be able to do hoon dok hae without shedding tears as you begin to realize and feel the depth of these teachings.
If you do hoon dok hae every day, then your heart will begin to change. You will see the world differently. Even True Father, who is the embodiment of the Word, reads the Word up until it is time to come out and do hoon dok hae with you.
You have to be grateful for God's infinite love for humankind and become people who can share that love. The Word will become your daily guide and textbook depending on how well you prepare the standard of your heart. (2006.07.19, Nairobi, Kenya)

Hoon Dok Hae's life
You should show an example to your children by reciting the Family Pledge every day. You have not properly raised the second generation in front of God. You may have several excuses or may blame it on the wilderness era, but now times are desperate.
Out of those who carry responsibility [in the church], the younger ones are in their 50s, and many are in their 70s and 80s. For the sake of the future, we need to educate and nurture our second-generation blessed children in front of God's Will. (2012.09.17, Cheon Jeong Gung)
I have told families to do homework every day together because I felt urgent to educate our children, the second generation. You made excuses that you were doing public work and neglected your children. Yet, even so, you should do hoon dok hae with them. You must begin your day this way.
You need to raise the second generation well. No matter what position you are, in, you must think about the future generations. Moreover, leaders should think about their future.
However, you should repent with a desperate and earnest heart for not finding someone to take your place. If you haven't done that already, you should start now. You must be ready to die for it. (2012.10.01, Cheon Jeong Gung)
In the early days of the church, there was no environment prepared. It was as if the first members of the church were in a wilderness era. However, what are your circumstances today?
Of course, some people have a hard life, but when we think of our future, it is hopeful. You should have confidence. You should be proud of True Parents. With just that, your descendants will have an easy path.
You should work hard to fulfill your responsibility as tribal messiahs. You must also educate your children through a life of family hoondok so that not one of them falls behind. Believe that Heaven is with us. This way, our country will fulfill its responsibility to become God's homeland.
You should become citizens who reciprocate Heaven's grace. Many people around us are still unaware. You are trailblazers. Please nurture your children so that there is not a single family in which anyone is left behind. (2015.04.26, Cheon Jeong Gung)
If you do hoon dok hae every day, you will gain wisdom on how to live in your daily life. Now all the good ancestors in the spirit world are coming back and are working with us. God is with us and this is the era when He can exercise His authority.
Therefore, you should read the Word day and night, and you must be able to convey it fluently even as you fall asleep at night. You must gain wisdom through the Word and propagate it. It is the same for students.
You should strive to become one in heart with God through doing hoon dok hae in the morning before going to school.
If you go out with a sincere heart to meet a student who can work even harder than you in realizing God's Will and restoring this nation, then naturally, a prepared student will emerge and come to find you. (2006.06.18, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan)
