林後9:6-8「少種的少收,多種的多收」,這話是真的。各人要隨本心所酌定的,不要作難,不要勉強,因為捐得樂意的人是上帝所喜愛的。上帝能將各樣的恩惠多多地加給你們,使你們凡事常常充足,能多行各樣善事。
Remember: A stingy planter gets a stingy crop; a lavish planter gets a lavish crop. I want each of you to take plenty of time to think it over, and make up your own mind what you will give. That will protect you against sob stories and arm-twisting. God loves it when the giver delights in the giving. God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways so that you’re ready for anything and everything, more than just ready to do what needs to be done.
今天是神向我顯明祂恩典的日子,我和我全家都是神恩典的大磁鐵。在我家裡,每一代神的恩典都不斷地增加,因為我是神恩典的好管家,所以神必在未來的日子繼續加添祂的恩典。那些靠近我的人也會變得和我一樣。阿門!
Today is the day that God is going to show off His favor on me,my family and I are magnets of God’s favor. The favor in my family increases with each new generation,because I steward today‘s favor well, I am entrusted with more tomorrow. people are drawn to me and instinctively like me.
1.我們是被收納進入神的家
弗2:19 這樣,你們不再作外人和客旅,是與聖徒同國,是上帝家裏的人了。That’s plain enough, isn’t it? You’re no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You’re no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home.
●歸屬感:
●親切感:
●使命感:
徒2:44-47 信的人都在一處,凡物公用,並且賣了田產、家業,照各人所需用的分給各人。他們天天同心合意恆切地在殿裏,且在家中擘餅,存著歡喜、誠實的心用飯,讚美上帝,得眾民的喜愛。主將得救的人天天加給他們。And all the believers lived in a wonderful harmony, holding everything in common. They sold whatever they owned and pooled their resources so that each person’s need was met. They followed a daily discipline of worship in the Temple followed by meals at home, every meal a celebration, exuberant and joyful, as they praised God. People in general liked what they saw. Every day their number grew as God added those who were saved.
無條件接納人的態度是:
你不是我,我也不是你。在一段關係當中,你有權作自己,我也有權做我自己。這並不表示你得無條件接受對方的所有行為,這樣的一個態度只是代表你們不會彼此控制
無條件的愛所說的是:
不論你做什麼,我都會繼續追求與你之間的連結
2. 為著建立這個家,我們會盡最大的努力
弗5:21 又當存敬畏基督的心,彼此順服。 Out of respect for Christ, be courteously reverent to one another.
加5:13 弟兄們,你們蒙召是要得自由,只是不可將你們的自由當作放縱情慾的機會,總要用愛心互相服事。因為全律法都包在「愛人如己」這一句話之內了。 It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don’t use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that’s how freedom grows. For everything we know about God’s Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That’s an act of true freedom.
愛的承諾:
我關心並重視全部的你,我關心你的全人,你的關係,夢想,和未來。
愛的行動:
在你越來越認識對方的時候,在不同的情況下,能以各樣的方式向對方表達你對他的關心和重視。
愛的結果:
如果我們的愛無法在關係中帶出安全感,平安,信任,那麼不論你做再多,或不論你做什麼, 都不能稱之為愛。要記得,聖經說:愛能除去一切的懼怕。
腓2:3-4 凡事不可結黨,不可貪圖虛浮的榮耀;只要存心謙卑,各人看別人比自己強。各人不要單顧自己的事,也要顧別人的事。Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.
3. 我會很刻意在信任的關係上有最大的成長
太18:15倘若你的弟兄得罪你,你就去,趁著只有他和你在一處的時候,指出他的錯來。他若聽你,你便得了你的弟兄。If a fellow believer hurts you, go and tell him—work it out between the two of you. If he listens, you’ve made a friend.
林前4:14 我寫這話,不是叫你們羞愧,乃是警戒你們,好像我所親愛的兒女一樣。I’m not writing all this as a neighborhood scold just to make you feel rotten. I’m writing as a father to you, my children. I love you and want you to grow up well, not spoiled. There are a lot of people around who can’t wait to tell you what you’ve done wrong, but there aren’t many fathers willing to take the time and
effort to help you grow up.
帖前5:14-15 我們又勸弟兄們,要警戒不守規矩的人,勉勵灰心的人,扶助軟弱的人,也要向眾人忍耐。你們要謹慎,無論是誰都不可以惡報惡;或是彼此相待,或是待眾人,常要追求良善。Gently encourage the stragglers, and reach out for the exhausted, pulling them to their feet. Be patient with each person, attentive to individual needs. And be careful that when you get on each other’s nerves you don’t snap at each other. Look for the best in each other, and always do your best to bring it out.
4. 我們有皇族的尊榮,以恢復代替刑罰
約8:5-9 摩西在律法上吩咐我們把這樣的婦人用石頭打死。你說該把她怎麼樣呢?」他們說這話,乃試探耶穌,要得著告他的把柄。耶穌卻彎著腰,用指頭在地上畫字。他們還是不住地問他,耶穌就直起腰來,對他們說:「你們中間誰是沒有罪的,誰就可以先拿石頭打她。」於是又彎著腰,用指頭在地上畫字。他們聽見這話,就從老到少,一個一個地都出去了,只剩下耶穌一人,還有那婦人仍然站在當中。
加6:1-2 弟兄們,若有人偶然被過犯所勝,你們屬靈的人就當用溫柔的心把他挽回過來;又當自己小心,恐怕也被引誘。你們各人的重擔要互相擔當,如此,就完全了基督的律法。
Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day’s out. Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ’s law.
林後9:6-9「少種的少收,多種的多收」,這話是真的。各人要隨本心所酌定的,不要作難,不要勉強,因為捐得樂意的人是上帝所喜愛的。上帝能將各樣的恩惠多多地加給你們,使你們凡事常常充足,能多行各樣善事。
來到主前
