Do not worry for tomorrow!

Fear is the absence of trust. Learn to trust one another and believe that God will lead us when we seek to do things in His pleasure. Through Him, we will learn to live a happy life with no worries and fear.

Matthew 6:33-34
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Love

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
