給未婚基督徒的一封信 from 寇紹恩牧師

給未婚基督徒的一封信主內我親愛的弟兄姊妹平安：

『那起初造人的，是造男造女……』（太19：4-5）

『創世紀』一開始記載：神的創造，『神看著一切所造的都甚好。』（創1：31）

聖經第一次提到『不好』，是神看『那人獨居不好』所以神說：『我要為他造一個配偶幫助他。』（創2：18）

清晨五點多起來，為你、也為今天的營會禱告，我看著身邊的琪玫師母，心中充滿感恩，從心裡對我的另一半說：『我這一生最感恩的就是：跟妳在一起！』

從年輕一路走來，『戀愛』很美，『婚姻』更是深深的祝福，當然，這並不表示：沒有失敗、沒有挫折！但是『恩慈』的主總是一路扶持，『主的恩典夠用』！

讓我祝福『你』---

享受『戀愛』，期待『婚姻』

因此我提供給你幾樣交友、戀愛、婚姻的『武林密笈、葵花寶典』---

1.從現在開始，天天為你的『終身大事』禱告

認真的禱告，不要輕忽，主真的是垂聽禱告的神

（我可是從13歲開始禱告的喔！你現在開始不會太遲）

2.把戀愛婚姻的主權交給神

你決定的你負責，祂決定的祂負責

但是承認：你看不清楚，也負不起責任，讓主掌權

3.預備自己

不要只是想找一個合適的對象，要先預備你自己成為一個合適的對象，

不只是外型，更是生命的品質，照著聖經的原則，預備自己

4.持守聖潔

『……並要追求聖潔；非聖潔沒有人能見主。』（來12:14）

上帝的祝福是蒙福的唯一秘訣，『聖潔』是進入神祝福的門票，這是關鍵！

年輕的『家人』啊！這四件事真是我一路走來的『必勝密笈』屬靈原則，我『白白得來』，也『白白傳授給你』，願上帝祝福你，此外---

開始交往，一定要先找『屬靈遮蓋』幫助你們（組長或區長、區牧、傳道、長老）

預備婚姻，一定要先上『婚前輔導』的課程，這是為著你一生的幸福做預備！

最後，祝福你：享受單身、享受戀愛、期待婚姻、期待『家』！

上帝祝福你！

Chuck Pierce：What We Believe

In this season, you must know your belief system. In what do you believe? In whom do you believe? Everyone develops some sort of belief system for their life. Mine is the Word of God. In this season, we must rehearse the Word! What revelation has come to you? That revelation is what you must use to war in the world around you! We must meditate on what God says until the power of that revelation enters our bloodstream and cell structure. We also must learn to worship and minister in our homes. Doing so will allow our gifts to be activated in a new way in small groups. When the time comes that we are not free [to worship publicly in our church buildings], we will already know how to continue worshipping in our homes. Take the points below and use them to speak into your life and the environment around you.

I am asked often, “What do you believe”? This summarizes my belief system:

I believe the Bible is the Word of God!

Hebrews 4:12 says, "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (NKJ)

Romans 10:17 says, "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." (NKJ) Therefore, I contend that if faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God, then faith for those who are lost, to be saved, comes by hearing the Word of God, and faith for those who are already saved to continue on to spiritual maturity, comes by hearing the Word of God.

I believe Father-God came as Spirit and hovered over a virgin and impregnated her. I believe the Son was then born to this virgin, named Mary, and grew in stature and favor with man. I believe that He came unto His own but His own did not receive Him. I believe that He overcame the power of sin in this world, and withstood all temptations that would be known to man. He presented who Father was to mankind. He then submitted Himself to Father’s plan, for me. He was then sacrificed, that I could be redeemed from the power of sin. I believe that He overcame death, hell, and the grave and now sits at the right hand of the Father. I believe His Spirit dwells among us to give us the same power to overcome all temptation, sin and decay of the world.

I believe that I can be a son and receive a full inheritance from Him. I believe that the miracle working power that was displayed by Jesus Christ, the Messiah, as He rose from the dead, is now working in the world today. It is available to each and every one who will submit to the cross they have been given. This power enables us to unlock our future, and walk in overcoming victory.

I believe His power is working in the earth to align and redeem nations, forming a joyful House of Prayer for each ethnos group. I believe this power continues to work to make Gentile and Jews into One New Man who will be presented to the Father. I believe that if I give my best, monthly, to HIM, I will move from blessing to blessing until blessings overtake me.

a new friend, Tayuan's sharing ...

[中文字幕]英國星光大道選秀Susan Boyle唱『I Dreamed a Dream』蘇珊鮑伊驚艷全場

雖然全世界都知道但還是很想轉貼,我覺得這個作者寫的很好他說:

其貌不揚的Susan Boyle(蘇珊鮑伊)在星光大道上演唱，值得一看，也值得人們自我反省以貌取人的習慣！

這句話說得真好!!

第一次看時真的超感人,不過老外本來就很會製造這種氣氛,不過這個影片仍然很正面,我也很喜歡他們的評審所說的結論....

好感人的故事-桌巾

很棒故事—桌巾(轉載自Faith Lee)

一對年輕牧師夫婦被派到紐約布魯克林區為一間老舊教堂重新開幕。

那老教堂的確很破落需要大力整修。他們訂下一個計畫時間表，每天做一點整修，準備聖誕夜舉行重新開幕的禮拜。

聖誕節前一星期，所有的工作幾乎都照著進度差不多完成了。

但是突來連續兩天暴風雨。聖誕夜的前三天，牧師去到教堂時，看見屋頂裂了一個縫，祭壇後的牆壁油漆剝落了一大片，大概有二十呎長八呎寬。牧師心冷了半截，把掉落地上的油漆掃乾淨，心裡盤算著該怎麼辦。

是不是必須把聖誕夜的禮拜取消？把重新開幕的時間延後呢？」他想。

在他回家的路上，剛好碰到當地一些企業聯合擺攤子舉辦的一場像跳蚤市場一樣的義賣會。他信步走進去瞧瞧。他注意到一張很漂亮的桌巾，象牙色的，桌巾中間繡著一個大大的十字架。桌巾的大小剛好可以蓋住教堂牆上那片油漆剝落處。

他把桌巾買了下來，折回教堂去。

天空下起雪來。

一位老太太從對街跑來要搭巴士，但沒趕上。下一班巴士要再等四十五分鐘才來。牧師請老太太到教堂裡等，避避風雪，也可溫暖一點。

牧師開始去搬梯子，把那張剛買的大桌巾掛到牆壁上，剛好蓋住剝落的地方。

「感謝主！簡直太完美了！」牧師看著掛好的桌巾，滿意極了！突然，他注意到老太太走到前面來，盯著桌巾，臉色發白。

「牧師，你哪來的這張桌巾？」老太太問。

牧師把前因後果解釋給她聽。

「你可不可以看看桌巾右下角是不是繡有EBG字樣？」老太太聲音顫抖地問。這正是這位老太太名字的縮寫。牧師檢查了桌巾的右下角，果然有這幾個字樣。

桌巾正是三十五年前老太太在奧地利時親手繡出來的。

老太太跟牧師說：「三十五年前，我跟我先生住在奧地利，家境富有。納粹來了以後，我們被迫離開。我先走，我先生隔一個星期走。」

「後來我被送到集中營，再也沒看到過我先生，也從此沒再回家過。」她說。

牧師聽了，要把桌巾還給老太太，但老太太卻要牧師留著給教堂用。牧師於是堅持開車送老太太回家。她住在史塔登島,只有每星期到布魯克林區做清潔工。

幾天之後，教堂順利地在聖誕夜重新開幕。整間教堂幾乎全部滿座。音樂及氣氛都很好，很多人都說下星期天會再來聚會。

禮拜結束了。有一個鄰居的老先生坐著還不離開。牧師認得他。

「牧師，你這張桌巾哪裡來的？」老先生問，「我戰爭前住在奧地利的時候，我太太繡了一張這樣的桌巾。世界上居然有兩張這麼相像的桌巾！」

他告訴牧師，三十五年前他跟太太是因為納粹入侵奧地利而分散的。他要太太先離開，他隨後就走。沒想到後來他就被抓入牢裡去了。從此沒回家，也沒再見到太太。

牧師愣住了。

「您能讓我開車載您去兜兜風嗎？」牧師問老先生。

「好啊！跟你聊聊我的故事，如果你有興趣的話。」老先生答。

牧師把車子開到史塔登島一間公寓前，三天前他才送老太太回來的地方。他扶著老先生爬了三層樓的階梯，在老太太的門上按了門鈴。

牧師親眼目睹了一場感人的聖誕團圓。

朋友！這是一位美國牧師敘述的真實故事。上帝讓人團圓的方式實在大奇妙了！人海茫茫，尋尋覓覓，唯有上帝知道在哪裡。人唯一能做的只有禱告，其餘的就是上帝的工作了。

所謂謀事在人，成事在天！成功之路，唯有靠上帝指引腳步。

『人心籌算自己的道路；惟耶和華指引他的腳步。』

The great salmon run from BBC programmes

Last week, my spiritual father just gave me a homework to search a project - the life of salmon journey. When I found some information from Internet, especailly these films that really make me feel so amazing - Perseverant power DNA is created in the Salmon fish by the creator our mighty God. From this project that also inspires confidence in people's heart, and to wake people up.

In the ultimate purpose of life of the salmon is that returning back to the mountain streams where their lives began for spawning. Modern science has discovered some of the salmon's secrets, their journey seems even more miraculous.

It's a journey of adversity whose the salmon swim toward in way upstream, climb up difficult water stairs, escape from sorts of predators. The salmon concentrate on battling way back that's why they don't eat anything also no longer interested in food along the whole way. In this such gaunt condition, the salmon still can leap over a distance nearly twice body length when meet some obstacles mostly they do, just as they have conquered all the other hurdles on their travelling to achieve the most important main mission - spawn offspring, at the ending moment which ushers in both life and death.
