Author’s Preface
When I was young, I preached an eight-sermon series at church called “The Path of the Inner Life”. Over the years, people have told me from time to time that they have been helped by the messages in this series, and some people still recommend it to others today.
In 2011, Pastor Aina Zheng from Good TV wanted me to go to Sunday School On Air to record a few episodes on the practice of getting closer to God. I recalled and updated the series “The Path of the Inner Life”, added a few related messages, and gave it a new overall title: “Anchored to Eternity.”
After preaching it on Good TV’s Sunday School On Air, I also preached this series of messages on Sunday at my own church (Taipei Shilin Zion Church) the following year. I usually take the sermons I have preached in my own church and preach them on Good TV, but this time it was reversed.
A few years ago, we started thinking about compiling this series into a book. I selected twelve of the twenty messages in this series and put them in this book. I hope this book can help people who are eager to seek God to find the way to pursue God and get closer to Him.
Special thanks to Sister Li-Ping Hsing(邢立平) for transcribing the audio of the sermon into text, Sister Chiao-Hui Huang(黃巧慧) and Sister Chen-Yu Lu(盧珍予) for editing the manuscript, Sister Yi-Chien Lin(林宜倩)for the art design, and many brothers and sisters for their help in proofreading. I would like to express my gratitude here.
