7月31日 Trust Him!
It is really grievous to see this going on. My prayer goes out to their church and families who are suffering, hoping that they will be consoled by the Holy Spirit. Also I pray for our brothers and sisters there, may their hearts are filled with great faith and joyness that would help them to pass through this harsh time. Let's pray for God's guidance. Let's pray that God bring swift justice and grant peace. Let's pray that God change the greatest evil to His goodness. Let's trust Him! Because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him for that day.--2 TIMOTHY1:12 There is no dead Christian in God's eyes.
7月28日 I choose to sing Hallelujah Who can hold the stars
And my weary heart? Who can see everything? I've fallen so hard Sometimes I feel so far But not beyond your reach I could climb a mountain Swim the ocean Or do anything But it's when you hold me That I start unfolding And all that I can say is Hallelujah, hallelujah Whatever's in front of me Help me to sing hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Whatever's in front of me I'll choose to sing hallelujah The same sun that Rises over castles And welcomes the day Spills over buildings Into the streets Where orphans play And only you can see the good In broken things You took my heart of stone And you made it home And set this prisoner free Hallelujah, hallelujah Whatever's in front of me Help me to sing hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Whatever's in front of me I'll choose to sing hallelujah 7月26日 Trust Him!Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
let's focus our prayers on the South Korean Missionary hostages.
May God be glorified!
But I do not count my life of any value to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the good news of God's grace. --ACTS20:24
Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, refusing to accept release, in order to obtain a better resurrection. Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned to death, they were sawn in two, they were killed by the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, persecuted, tormented -- of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground.
Yet all these, though they were commended for their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had provided something better so that they would not, apart from us, be made perfect. --HEBREW11:35-40
7月19日 Worship in Spirit and Truth
“时候将到,如今就是了,那真正拜父的,要用心灵和诚实拜他,因为父要这样的人拜他。神是个灵,所以拜他的,必须用心灵和诚实拜他。”约4:23、24
But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him.God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. John4:23,24
这句话的关键在哪里?
John4:19,20“妇人说:先生,我看出你是先知。我们的祖宗在这山上礼拜,你们倒说,应当礼拜的地方是在耶路撒冷。”妇人关心的是在哪里敬拜,她只要去对了地方就行了。而耶稣强调的是什么?如何敬拜,怀着怎样的心来敬拜神?那么什么是真正的敬拜?全身心的敬拜,真诚的敬拜,知道敬拜的对象是怎样的,也了解他的心愿。
那么,在我们参加敬拜的时候,我们对于自己的敬拜满意吗?我们的敬拜算不算心灵和诚实的敬拜?如果不满意,什么原因?我们花多长时间和精力预备自己的礼拜?我们有没有重视礼拜?有没有意识到我们坐在那里,面对的并不是会众和牧师,而是直接面见神?礼拜的时候,我们的心在哪里?我们有没有开小差?有没有感受到神与我们同在的喜悦?我们在唱诗赞美的时候,有没有真正思想所唱诗歌的意义?听道的时候,有没有默想对自己的教训?我们礼拜的态度是不是认真的?对神的态度,有没有敬畏?该有秩序的时候就要有秩序,该严肃的时候也要严肃。
如果我们认为礼拜只是一种形式的话,那么我们就好像和迦南妇女一样了。我们的聚会和礼拜也就失去了意义。无论是主日礼拜,还是现在在这里的祷告会,不要忘记,我们直接面对的是神。我们所唱的诗是向神唱的;我们做出的祷告,是向神说的;我们听到的话语,是神对我们的教训。我们在这里聚集,神也在这里。
当然,我们的敬拜不能只局限在大家聚会的敬拜上。罗12:1“所以弟兄们,我以神的慈悲劝你们,将身体献上,当作活祭,是圣洁的,是神所喜悦的,你们如此侍奉,乃是理所当然的。”I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.Romans12:1 这段话的意思是什么?
这里我们献上的敬拜是怎样的敬拜?“将身体献上,当作活祭”生活的敬拜,完全的每一天的一切都是敬拜神的过程。神喜悦我们这样的生活的祭。这样的敬拜需要什么?圣洁。如何圣洁?圣洁即“分别”,罗12:2“不要效法这个世界,只要心意更新而变化,叫你们察验何为神的善良、纯全、可喜悦的旨意。”Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God-- what is good and acceptable and perfect.Romans12:2 与世分别的生活的祭。我们生活的敬拜做的怎么样?所有的事情都是向神献上的敬拜吗?
有自己的成分,有不是向神的敬拜,和都是向神的敬拜,对于我们的生活有什么不同的影响?你觉得在工作家庭学习当中,所经历的不满、痛苦、空虚、厌烦,根源在哪里?(自我)而整个生活都是面向神的时候,为了献上圣洁的敬拜,我们会如何生活?(诚实公义的生活,为了神而生活,遵循圣经话语生活)面向的对象不同,我们生活的质量和态度也是不同的。
如果世人看到我们向神圣洁的敬拜的时候,你觉得他们会认识到什么?
那么通过这两处经文,我们知道应该如何在聚会当中和生活当中成为一个神所喜悦的敬拜者?

7月5日 The Full Armor of God
弗6:11-18“要穿戴神所赐的全副军装,就能抵挡魔鬼的诡计。因我们并不是与属血气的争战,乃是与那些执政的、掌权的、管辖这幽暗世界的,以及天空属灵气的恶魔争战。所以,要拿起神所赐的全副军装,好在磨难的日子抵挡仇敌,并且成就了一切,还能站立得住。所以要站稳了,用真理当作带子束腰,用公义当作护心镜遮胸,又用平安的福音当作预备走路的鞋穿在脚上。此外又拿着信德当作藤牌,可以灭尽那恶者一切的火箭。并戴上救恩的头盔,拿着圣灵的宝剑,就是神的道。靠着圣灵,随时多方祷告祈求,并要在此警醒不倦,为众圣徒祈求,”
Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness.As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace.With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one.Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints. Ephesians6:11-18
这里将我们的信仰生活比喻成一场属灵的战争,作为一个基督徒,这样的争战是不可避免的。你有没有因为信主,而感觉到这样的争战呢?自己与自己老我的战争,与世界的战争,与魔鬼的战争。约John15:19“你们若属世界,世界必爱属自己的;只因你们不属世界,乃是我从世界中拣选了你们,所以世界就恨你们。”世界为什么恨我们,这里的恨是什么意思?排斥。因为我们与世界分别,所以世界会排斥我们。以弗所书这里说,我们打的是属灵的战争,与魔鬼争战。魔鬼如何与我们争战呢?彼前1Peter5:8“务要谨守、警醒,因为你们的仇敌魔鬼,如同吼叫的狮子,遍地游行,寻找可吞吃的人。”好像狮子一般,到处都有,寻找我们,寻找我们的软弱和漏洞,想要击溃我们。此外,林后11:14“这也不足为怪,因为连撒但也装作光明的天使。”这是他的另一面,一般我们容易警惕他的凶恶,在苦难的环境中,我们容易警醒,但是却常常忘记他也用我们所喜悦的东西给我们制造陷阱。
因此,以弗所书中保罗说道,我们要穿呆神所赐的全副军装,为了什么?抵挡魔鬼。有真理,束腰而有力;公义,保守我们的心怀意念,心中生发出正义、清洁;福音作为我们的鞋,随走随传;信德,信心用来抵挡魔鬼的攻击(有没有这样的体会?);救恩的头盔,当我们抓住救恩的真理的时候,才生发出信心,以致得救;圣灵的宝剑,神的道,攻击的武器;祷告,警醒用的。我们的不足是哪个?
彼得缺乏的是什么?太Matthew26:41“总要警醒祷告,免得入了迷惑,你们心灵固然愿意,肉体却软弱了。”提前1Timothy1:19、20“常存信心和无亏的良心。有人丢弃良心,就在真道上如同船破坏了一般。其中有许米乃和亚力山大,我已经把他们交给撒但,使他们受责罚就不再谤渎了。”丢弃良心和公义。提后2Timothy4:10“因为底马贪爱现今的世界,就离弃我往帖撒罗尼迦去了,革勒士往加拉太去,提多往挞马太去,”不爱真理,没有信。
在属灵的战争中,我们需要必胜的信心,前面说过,信心是我们的盾牌,用来抵挡魔鬼。我们因着救恩生发出信心来,靠着信心得救,也靠着信心生活和得胜。林前1Corinthians15:57、58“感谢神,使我们藉着我们的主耶稣基督得胜。所以,我亲爱的弟兄们,你们务要坚固,不可摇动,常常竭力多作主工,因为知道你们的劳苦,在主里面不是徒然的。”我们靠着基督得胜,争战的胜败主要在于元帅,我们靠着我们的元帅得胜,并且,我们的劳苦和争战有主的纪念。约John16:33“我将这些事告诉你们,是要叫你们在我里面有平安。在世上你们有苦难,但你们可以放心,我已经胜了世界。”我们的元帅已经得胜,我们还不赶紧拿起武器跟上去?
