第二課

剛放學,又是很充實的一堂。對於看書雖然應該沒有什麼難度,但因有時間的限制,真是有一點「熬底」。不過仍為到能上課和聽到如此多的生命分享而興奮。若是沒有像保羅如此的事奉觀、生命、委身和屬靈的深度,是很難寫得出如此肺腑的話。他對哥林多教會的愛真的格外疼愛。保羅的生命仍在影響今天的信徒。

上帝的話語,我們必須大口、大口的吃。

“…rather be wronged…” (I Cor. 6:7)

Being strong doesn’t always mean winning. Being weak doesn’t always mean losing.

Being articulating doesn’t always mean righteous. Being silence doesn’t always mean guilty.

The word of God is powerful and meaningful, sometimes it is hard to in-take, for the uneasiness it aroused inside. It takes much spiritual strength to withhold than to defend. It takes even more inner spiritual strength to swallow the inequity than to fight back. The spiritual strength that Jesus talks about when someone strikes you on the right, turn to him the other also. It is the extra miles we will need to walk, not to sustain our personal reputation, but God’s. It is the cloak we’ve got to lose to cover up our own shame and making us comfortable. It is the naked self that we ought to expose that God’s glory will be seen through us weak sinner…

Lord, may Your word become our prayer. “He must become greater; I must become less.” John 3:30

第一課

很喜歡上課,做學生的心情。今天上了第一課,學了很多,不單是聖經的知識,更是一些自己無法讀聖經研究出來的智慧。這些智慧必須從年月中濾積和磨練出來的。經牧師的教授,屬靈胃口大增,很想快快的看看內中還未參透的真理。對主話必須認認真真的查究和研讀。

都靠祈禱...

「因為我們雖然在血氣中行事、卻不憑著血氣爭戰,我們爭戰的兵器、本不是屬血氣的、乃是在神面前有能力、可以攻破堅固的營壘、將各樣的計謀、各樣攔阻人認識神的那些自高之事、一概攻破了、又將人所有的心意奪回、使他都順服基督,並且我已經預備好了、等你們十分順服的時候、要責罰那一切不順服的人。你們是看眼前的麼,倘若有人自信是屬基督的、他要再想想、他如何屬基督、我們也是如何屬基督的。」

若有人偶然被過犯所勝

當知道罪在我們中間,是一件很痛的事情。痛得不知道怎樣言語,只得把一切的感覺都關閉,以免一發不可收拾。沒有怪責、沒有痛哭、也沒有大鬧,只感到很無奈。這是服事的人都要反覆面對的心痛嗎?

我們的心都在淌血呢!主耶穌,讓孩子躲在你懷中吧!這個現實太殘酷了。求主憐憫。
