1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
Challenges and hardships in life might drive us mad and bring us down, but trust that our loving God will not leave us alone. He will guide us through our struggles and lead us to a better tomorrow. Do not fear, remember that no matter how big the challenge is, our Lord Jesus is bigger. May the Lord bless those who come forth to seek him. :)

Sharing of the day
Romans 8:28
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
Things happen for a reason and they are all interconnected. Trust that today's suffering is to prepare you for a brighter tomorrow. God will lead!

2013-11-13 卖菜(下)
“老板,请问是什么让你卖的菜这么有素质呢?”夫人A 问道。
上次谈到‘卖菜’的第一阶段,就是做好基督徒的本分,当个称职的信徒,让身边的人看出神的爱如何改变了我们的生命见而产生对基督教的好印象。试问,如果有人问你基督教跟其它宗教什么差别,你会怎么解释?
主内弟兄姐妹,佛教教导人有好的品行,回教则督促信徒严守伊斯兰教的教导和行为制度。简单来说,其实每个宗教都教导人培养好的品行,但基督教与众不同的地方就在于死后的生命。
“若基督沒有復活,我們所傳的便是枉然,你們所信的也是枉然,並且明顯我們是為神妄作見證的,因我們見證神是叫基督復活了。若死人真不復活,神也就沒有叫基督復活了。”(林前15:14-15)。换句话说,没有强调基督复活真理的教会就是一个脱轨的教会!今天笔者摘自池金代牧师的《好消息:福音讲述》,让大家重温和学习简单传福音的方法。这个方式以2个坏消息和2个好消息的方法向人讲说福音。
第一个坏消息,罗马书3:23 提到世人都犯了罪。这时您必须让对方明白什么是罪,先向他承认你自己是罪人过后再帮助他承认自己的罪。接下来,以罗马书6:23节让他明白罪的工价是死(正如我们在世上工作有工钱拿,罪的‘工钱’则是死亡)。这时须强调死不只是肉体上的死,也是灵魂上的死!当你打消他的志气后,就可以向他提出好消息!
林前15:3-4 说明基督为我们的罪死而复活,在此,一定要用一个代罪或代死的比喻来讲明主耶稣为我们的罪而死的爱(妹妹犯错时,哥哥为妹妹承担惩罚等)。然后用以弗所书2:8-9说明得救得救的方法就是信靠耶稣为我们在十架上的死。邀请他做决志祷告,恭喜你,无论结果如何,您已经将福音讲过一遍了!
传福音其实非常的简单!不要认为害怕传福音或把它看成是牧者传道的事。刘世尧牧师曾说过:“据研究,一个人需要听福音25遍过后才会接受福音。”传福音纵然会遇到许多挫折,有时候撒种的不是你但却是由你去收割,或你一直撒种都无法收割;无论如何,Do
your best, and God will do the rest!
从今天起,笔者希望你我都能开始以《好消息:福音讲述》的方式向人传福音!无论是向熟悉的亲朋契友,陌生的某位飞机上的乘客,甚至是不同种族的人,我相信只要我们愿意去传,圣灵必定会动工!最后,笔者愿以约书亚记1:9与大家共勉励:“我岂没有吩咐你吗?你当刚强壮胆!不要惧怕,也不要惊惶,因为你无论往哪里去,耶和华你的神必与你同在。”

Some inspiration!
Matthew 5:48 "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
Who do you live for? We don't live to fulfill the expectations of others, other wise life will be pretty dull, always trying to live up to other people's standard and trying to prove them wrong. Stop worrying about how others think of you and live according to God's standard, then everything will be fine

2013-10-31 卖菜(上)
姐妹们,当你们到市场买菜,请问你是如何筛选蔬菜?你会先照着自己的眼光,按着外观来选最‘美’的菜。之后,如果老板说这把蔬菜是一个名誉非常好的农场出产的,这会让你更肯定地决定要买它。
笔者从这看似普通的过程,有莫大的领悟。不当在菜市场,在别的领域(如:市场贸易,直销市场)人对一个产品的兴趣都是从产品的知名度、朋友的介绍、个人的兴趣与需要再加上销售员的推荐而渐渐产生的。简单来说,一个公司之所以能成功,是因为卖的产品好,值得信赖和使用!今天,如果要大家把你我都知道的福音与好消息当成‘产品’推销给别人呢?
弟兄姐妹,试问,世人岂不知道基督教是‘好’宗教吗?当我说出得罪人的话时,我的同学(佛教徒)常会劝告和提醒我说:“ Christianity teaches you to do that? (基督教有教导你这么做吗?)”一些人甚至会说:“做基督徒有什么好?不能喝酒、不能赌博,又不能去
pub,痛苦啊。”
由此可见,其实你身边的人都知道基督教是一个教导好品行的宗教。这时,你卖的菜的素质,就在于你个人的品行与道德。如果你让别人从你身上看得出你是一个没有见证的基督徒,这会见而影响他们对基督教的印象和看法。因此,将你的‘产品’i.e. 福音推荐给别人的第一个步骤,就是让世人对基督教建立好的。
圣经比喻被差来的施洗约翰:“这人来,为要作见证,就是为光作见证,叫众人因他可以信。”(约1:7)各位,我们都是被神差遣在这世上做见证的基督徒,使别人透过我们的生命见证不只不对基督教产生负面的观念,反而使他们对福音更加渴望,更想要认识我们所认识的这位耶稣!
“要收的庄稼多,做工的人少。“(太9:37)福音的工场何其大。今天你我所接触的人,大多数都不是牧者传道们能接触的。医生们所接触的病人、商业家所接触的客户、老师们所接触的学生,可能一生都等不及透过牧师传道来向他们传福音。今天,你‘卖菜’的第一步,就是紧记自己是谁。做好基督徒的本分,当个称职的信徒,让你身边的人看出神的爱如何改变了你的生命,因过去未信主的你与今天的你大有不同!
当你成功使别人对基督教产生好印象和有兴趣认识我们宗教,正如一个农夫如何使厂商看上并有兴趣购买他的蔬菜,你已经完成了传福音上半的阶段。那么更重要的下半段是什么呢?请继续守住 Blessed Spot,留意“卖菜(下)”的刊登
