A quote finder that shows its work.
Ask True Parents finds passages from True Parents' words for sermons, talks and study, and shows exactly where each one comes from. Built for FFWPU pastors and ministry leaders.
Why it exists
Preparing a sermon can mean hours in many volumes, looking for the right words.
This finds them in the time it takes to type a topic,
so more of the week goes to prayer, reflection and the people you serve.
Search by meaning, not just keywords
Type a topic, a phrase or a whole question. The search reads for meaning across about 20,300 cited passages, so a sermon theme finds the passages behind it even when your words are not in the text.
211 results · by meaning
“The first word God spoke was, “Forgive.” America must forgive.”
True Father · Pyeong Hwa Gyeong · America’s crisis is God’s crisis
“Today, I carry no animosity toward anyone. Jesus Christ modeled the tradition of forgiveness when he prayed on the cross for those who crucified him.”
True Father · Pyeong Hwa Gyeong · God bless America
Every quote carries its source
Speaker, book, chapter and date on every result, plus a confidence badge. Open Read in Context to see the paragraphs around a passage, or the whole chapter, before you use it in public.
“The family is the most important school of love in our life. The education of the emotions that only parents can provide equips children with depth and breadth of heart.”
Rev. Sun Myung Moon · Cheon Seong Gyeong · Book 5, Ch. 4, Sec. 2 · Aug 22, 1995
Bring a real question

Exact citation
Every quote shows its speaker, book, section and date when the source records one, and quotes with a complete citation carry a badge. AI answers are written only from retrieved quotes and refer to them by number, never by a date they invent. Every card has a Report button; reported quotes are reviewed and corrected in the next data release.
Always check a citation against the printed or official edition before quoting it in a public sermon, publication or official material.
