The Holy Heart Church has established temples in Aegis City and Taiping Island, Cumberland has preached in the Misty Kingdom, and Mr. Moses has been taken over and lived on the island, preaching their ideas to the people who have moved there. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The temples of the Protestant Church can be described as very ordinary and simple, and at the same time they are pitifully small, and can hardly accommodate anyone other than the bishop who can live in them. There are also no gods dedicated to the hall, but a heart made of crystal, symbolizing purity and simplicity, which is exactly what the Church is all about.

Every afternoon, Cumberland would come to the square, or go to the prison, to educate the people, but not to accept any alms or worship.

In the beginning, there were not many people willing to listen to the lectures of this foreigner, but gradually, more and more people came to listen to the lectures, sometimes reaching thousands. One can even see the archbishop, dressed in the cheapest gray-white linen robe, emitting a heart-warming milky glow as he walks, exuding a holy aura. Not only humans, but also dwarves and goblins believe that if they meet Mr. Cumberland, he will bring them blessings and good luck.

Cumberland's destination today is still the main square, the weather is very good, the autumn is crisp, the sun is mild, he believes that as long as everyone is free, they will definitely come with him to bask in the sun.

"Hello devotees, welcome to the Holy Heart. Cumberland said lightly, his voice was not loud, but it could reach people's hearts. "As I said, when you come to the seminary, when you want to know the heart of holiness, you are a congregation. The Holy Heart Church is different from any church in history: First, it does not worship and believe in God, nor does it oppose the belief of its congregants in God. Second, it doesn't want anyone to be completely detached from life because of their faith, and you can learn the teachings at home, at work, and in your life, without having to be a full-time believer. Third, it doesn't force anyone to agree with the doctrine, maybe you agree with some of the teachings, or you oppose it, but the holy heart can be tolerated, I just hope that through repeated guidance, most people will understand that having a holy heart is very beneficial to themselves and to the world. ”

As Cumberland spoke, the noise of the people gradually died down, and he began to listen intently.

"Today, I want to talk to you about possession and wealth. "Back in the north, in the city of Grace, I heard a great legend that in the wild land of the south, there was a ruler, who was called the King of the Jungle, and the country under his rule was very rich. This kind of wealth, like other empires, is not concentrated in the aristocracy, but in everyone, everyone lives a life of abundance and comfort, owning property and money, which is really valuable. When I entered Aegis City, I realized that the situation was even better than the rumors, the people of the Misty Kingdom did not worry about food and clothing, lived in large stone houses, had all kinds of lucrative jobs, were able to buy all kinds of goods, were strongly guaranteed safety, and from time to time they could participate in various entertainment and cultural events, and held grand celebrations and dances in festivals, such a life was like a dream paradise, and refugees from the north flocked to it. However, I would like to ask you, are you satisfied?"

Cumberland looked at the stands and smiled: "I'm afraid that most people are still not satisfied, they still feel that they don't have enough wealth, they don't have enough money to spend, they are a little tired from work, and they still have less enjoyment, right? ”

"Inevitably, some people will make fun of me, saying that I am talking about cool things, and if a person can't even solve his stomach, what kind of spirit is he talking about?" Cumberland continued, "but the premise I want to say is that when the stomach and other life problems have been well solved, what should you do when you are in this state. Perhaps, at this time, I can't get excited to get a gold coin, perhaps, at this time, I don't feel very happy to eat a big meal, and so on, and when the sensory satisfaction has become less exciting, it is the moment when the soul returns. ”

"When the soul returns, when the awakening is about to come, you will find that too much wealth will become your trouble, and you will have to spend a lot of effort to take care of it, to protect it, and you will even realize that you have spent the most precious time of your life trying to earn money, in order to enjoy a little suspicious freedom in the least precious time. There is always a limit to the wealth of the world, if you occupy too much, others will get less, you consume precious time and worry about it, but it is very likely to deprive others of the opportunity to survive, it is better to choose a simple life, let go of the desire to burden yourself, and get the happiness and peace of mind, in this way, to get real wealth. ”

......

"Change starts little by little, slowly letting go of things that aren't really important, and when you let go, you realize that you actually get more, and when you let go of everything, that's it. After Cumberland finished speaking, a white ball of light was formed around his body centered on the brain, and the aura of light seemed to disperse all around, which was extremely shocking.
