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。

帖前5:14 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。
>> 身邊的肢體偶有軟弱,就像我們偶有軟弱的時候。耶穌要我們愛人如己,求主讓我常有祂愛人的心,彼此扶持,一起向上而去。

俄7 與你結盟的、都送你上路、直到交界。與你和好的、欺騙你、且勝過你。與你一同 吃飯的設下網羅陷害你。在你心裡毫無聰明。
All the people allied with you Will send you to the border, And the people at peace with you Will deceive you and overpower you. They who eat your bread Will set an ambush for you. (There is no understanding in him.)
Obadiah 1:7

箴18:12 敗壞之先、人心驕傲。尊榮以前、必有謙卑。
Before destruction the heart of a person is haughty, But humility goes before honor.
Proverbs 18:12

詩52:7 說、看哪、這就是那不以上帝為他力量的人。只倚仗他豐富的財物、在邪惡上堅 立自己。
詩52:8 至於我、就像上帝殿中的青橄欖樹。我永永遠遠倚靠上帝的慈愛。
“Behold, the man who would not make God his refuge, But trusted in the abundance of his riches And was strong in his evil desire.” But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the faithfulness of God forever and ever.
Psalms 52:7-8

民36:6 論到西羅非哈的眾女兒、耶和華這樣吩咐說。他們可以隨意嫁人、只是要嫁同宗 支派的人。
民36:7 這樣、以色列人的產業就不從這支派歸到那支派。因為以色列人要各守各祖宗支 派的產業。
This is what the Lord has commanded regarding the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them marry whomever they wish; only they must marry within the family of the tribe of their father.’ So no inheritance of the sons of Israel will be transferred from tribe to tribe, for the sons of Israel shall each retain possession of the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
Numbers 36:6-7

提前1:12 我感謝那給我力量的、我們主基督耶穌、因他以我有忠心、派我服事他。
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service,
1 Timothy 1:12

士2:18 耶和華為他們興起士師、就與那士師同在。士師在世的一切日子、耶和華拯救他 們脫離仇敵的手。他們因受欺壓擾害、就哀聲歎氣、所以耶和華後悔了。
士2:19 及至士師死後、他們就轉去行惡、比他們列祖更甚、去事奉叩拜別神。總不斷絕 頑梗的惡行。
士2:20 於是耶和華的怒氣向以色列人發作。他說、因這民違背我吩咐他們列祖所守的約 、不聽從我的話、
士2:21 所以約書亞死的時候所剩下的各族、我必不再從他們面前趕出。
And when the Lord raised up judges for them, the Lord was with the judge and saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who tormented and oppressed them. But it came about, when the judge died, that they would turn back and act more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them and bow down to them; they did not abandon their practices or their obstinate ways. So the anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and He said, “Because this nation has violated My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not listened to My voice, I in turn will no longer drive out from them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died,
Judges 2:18-21

把那破壞的建立起來,重新修造,像古時一樣

大哉,敬虔的奧秘!無人不以為然:就是神在肉身顯現,被聖靈稱義(或作:在靈性稱義),被天使看見,被傳於外邦,被世人信服,被接在榮耀裡。
提摩太前書 3:16 (和合本)
>> 最近讀中世紀教會歷史,那段期間雖然被稱為黑暗時期,事實上,上帝的光依然照耀。雖然政治上羅馬帝國分崩離析,福音反而因此廣傳。羅馬無法征服歐洲,福音依然征服人心,這一切都是上帝的大能。

雨雪從天而降,並不返回, 卻滋潤地土,使地上發芽結實, 使撒種的有種,使要吃的有糧。 我口所出的話也必如此, 決不徒然返回, 卻要成就我所喜悅的, 在我發他去成就的事上必然亨通。
以賽亞書 55:10‭-‬11 CUNP-上帝
So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the purpose for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:11 NASB2020


摩9:11 到那日,我必建立大衛倒塌的帳幕,堵住其中的破口,把那破壞的建立起來,重新修造,像古時一樣,
摩9:12 使以色列人得以東所餘剩的和所有稱為我名下的國。此乃行這事的耶和華說的。
“On that day I will raise up the fallen shelter of David, And wall up its gaps; I will also raise up its ruins And rebuild it as in the days of old; So that they may possess the remnant of Edom And all the nations who are called by My name,” Declares the Lord who does this. 
Amos 9:11-12

主日講道筆記 何建榮牧師主講 、今日靈修

法利賽人和文士問他說:「你的門徒為什麼不照古人的遺傳,用俗手吃飯呢?」
耶穌說:「以賽亞指著你們假冒為善之人所說的預言是不錯的。如經上說:這百姓用嘴唇尊敬我,心卻遠離我。
他們將人的吩咐當做道理教導人,所以拜我也是枉然。
馬可福音 7:5-7 (和合本)
>> 大部分的宗教,包含台灣的傳統信仰,都會有許多禁忌。似乎尊守這些禁忌,就代表敬虔。然而,信主的人不該繼續這樣了,耶穌不希望我們只是外表敬虔,內心卻遠離祂。我過去會在意持守主日,但我應該更注意自己是否常在主裡面?持守主日若辦的到當然好,但人到心不到也是惘然。

也不可聽從荒渺無憑的話語和無窮的家譜;這等事只生辯論,並不發明神在信上所立的章程。
但命令的總歸就是愛;這愛是從清潔的心和無虧的良心,無偽的信心生出來的。
提摩太前書 1:4-5 (和合本)
nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to useless speculation rather than advance the plan of God, which is by faith, so I urge you now. But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from a sincere faith.
1 Timothy 1:4‭-‬5 NASB2020

你們要以感謝為祭獻與神,又要向至高者還你的願,
並要在患難之日求告我;我必搭救你,你也要榮耀我。
詩篇 50:14-15 (和合本)
Offer God a sacrifice of thanksgiving And pay your vows to the Most High; Call upon Me on the day of trouble; I will rescue you, and you will honor Me.”
Psalms 50:14‭-‬15 NASB2020

凡以感謝獻上為祭的便是榮耀我;那按正路而行的,我必使他得著我的救恩。
詩篇 50:23 (和合本)
He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me; And to him who sets his way properly I will show the salvation of God.
Psalms 50:23 NASB2020


主日主題:錯置焦點

焦點錯了就到不了正確的目標

用俗手吃飯 (7:5)
法利賽人在意的不是聖經中的規定而是口述傳統
Mishna
經文相關 出30:19-21 規定祭司進聖殿要洗手,然而以色列人延申為所有的人日常生活要守的規定

AD1517 馬丁路德改教 唯讀聖經
但是天主教在AD1545-1563 天特會議 規定聖經和大公教會傳統成為天主教的規定

披麻帶孝不違背真理

各耳板
許願式的奉獻

法利賽人放錯焦點

你們是離棄神的誡命,拘守人的遺傳」;
又說:「你們誠然是廢棄神的誡命,要守自己的遺傳。
摩西說:『當孝敬父母』;又說:『咒罵父母的,必治死他。』
你們倒說:『人若對父母說:『我所當奉給你的,已經做了各耳板』(各耳板就是供獻的意思),
以後你們就不容他再奉養父母。
這就是你們承接遺傳,廢了神的道。你們還做許多這樣的事。」
馬可福音 7:8-13 (和合本)

歷史背景的規定不需要持續遵守,反而應該在不違背真理之下而心意更新而變化

反省:我們是否也像法利賽人呢?

應當聚焦在基督身上

基督教信仰是由內而外的信仰

基督釋放了我們,叫我們得以自由。所以要站立得穩,不要再被奴僕的軛挾制。
我保羅告訴你們,若受割禮,基督就與你們無益了。
我再指著凡受割禮的人確實的說,他是欠著行全律法的債。
你們這要靠律法稱義的,是與基督隔絕,從恩典中墜落了。
我們靠著聖靈,憑著信心,等候所盼望的義。
加拉太書 5:1-5 (和合本)

結論
傳統要尊重但不是尊守,應該不能凌越真理
焦點在內心
焦點在基督

2021年8月28日 星期六

願你晝夜看顧這殿,就是你應許立為你名的居所;求你垂聽僕人向此處禱告的話

何3:3 我對他說:你當多日為我獨居,不可行淫,不可歸別人為妻,我向你也必這樣。
何3:4 以色列人也必多日獨居,無君王,無首領,無祭祀,無柱像,無以弗得,無家中的神像。
何3:5 後來以色列人必歸回(或譯:回心轉意),尋求他們的神─耶和華和他們的王大衛。在末後的日子,必以敬畏的心歸向耶和華,領受他的恩惠。

>> 最近看一場職棒比賽,有一個很強的投手,大部分打擊對他沒辦法,但是每每遇到敵隊的某一位特定打擊,總是被他擊出長打。最神奇的是,這個敵隊球員基本上不是打擊見強的球員。我覺得我們每個人也一樣,對於某些事情,我們無法抵抗,有人是錢財,有人是手機,比較慘的是煙、毒或是酒、或被情色所困。每個人真的就有個罩門,就像那個強投,遇到同一位打擊就是沒轍。我想,今天的經文提醒了我,最簡單就是遠離一切的誘惑,「多日獨居,無君王,無首領,無祭祀,無柱像,無以弗得,無家中的神像」,讓我們心中的力量被上帝建立起來。透過基督,我們虔誠認罪、悔改,上帝必然重新建立我們。

帖後3:5 願主引導你們的心,叫你們愛神,並學基督的忍耐。
May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the perseverance of Christ.
2 Thessalonians 3:5 NASB2020

帖後3:12 我們靠主耶穌基督吩咐、勸戒這樣的人,要安靜做工,吃自己的飯。
Now we command and exhort such persons in the Lord Jesus Christ to work peacefully and eat their own bread.
2 Thessalonians 3:12 NASB2020

詩49:5 在患難的日子,奸惡隨我腳跟,四面環繞我,我何必懼怕﹖
詩49:6 那些倚仗財貨自誇錢財多的人,
詩49:7 一個也無法贖自己的弟兄,也不能替他將贖價給神,
詩49:8 叫他長遠活著,不見朽壞;因為贖他生命的價值極貴,只可永遠罷休。
Why should I fear in days of adversity, When the injustice of those who betray me surrounds me, Those who trust in their wealth And boast in the abundance of their riches? No one can by any means redeem another Or give God a ransom for him— For the redemption of his soul is priceless, And he should cease imagining forever—
Psalms 49:5‭-‬8 NASB2020

民22:32 耶和華的使者對他說:你為何這三次打你的驢呢﹖我出來敵擋你,因你所行的,在我面前偏僻。
民22:33 驢看見我就三次從我面前偏過去;驢若沒有偏過去,我早把你殺了,留他存活。
Then the angel of the Lord said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out as an adversary, because your way was reckless and contrary to me. But the donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If she had not turned away from me, I certainly would have killed you just now, and let her live.”
Numbers 22:32‭-‬33 NASB2020

王上8:29 願你晝夜看顧這殿,就是你應許立為你名的居所;求你垂聽僕人向此處禱告的話。
王上8:30 你僕人和你民以色列向此處祈禱的時候,求你在天上你的居所垂聽,垂聽而赦免。
so that Your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, toward the place of which You have said, ‘My name shall be there,’ to listen to the prayer which Your servant will pray toward this place. And listen to the plea of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place; hear in heaven Your dwelling place; hear and forgive!
1 Kings 8:29-30 NASB2020

猶1:20 親愛的弟兄啊,你們卻要在至聖的真道上造就自己,在聖靈裡禱告,
猶1:21 保守自己常在神的愛中,仰望我們主耶穌基督的憐憫,直到永生。
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
Jude 1:20‭-‬21 NASB2020

2021年8月27日 星期五

主耶和華啊,你曾用大能和伸出來的膀臂創造天地,在你沒有難成的事

我將買契交給尼利亞的兒子巴錄以後,便禱告耶和華說:
「主耶和華啊,你曾用大能和伸出來的膀臂創造天地,在你沒有難成的事。
耶利米書 32:16-17 (和合本)
主耶和華啊,你對我說:要用銀子為自己買那塊地,又請見證人。其實這城已交在迦勒底人的手中了。」
耶利米書 32:25 (和合本)
》還好耶利米沒有活在現代,不然應該早被強制就醫!求主保守我,以祢的榮耀為重,輕看個人的榮辱。

你們當受我的教訓,不受白銀;寧得知識,勝過黃金。
因為智慧比珍珠(或作:紅寶石)更美;一切可喜愛的都不足與比較。
箴言 8:10-11 (和合本)
Accept my instruction and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is better than jewels; And all desirable things cannot compare with her.
Proverbs 8:10‭-‬11 NASB2020

聽從我、日日在我門口仰望、在我門框旁邊等候的,那人便為有福。
因為尋得我的,就尋得生命,也必蒙耶和華的恩惠。
箴言 8:34-35 (和合本)
Blessed is the person who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at my doorposts. For one who finds me finds life, And obtains favor from the Lord.
Proverbs 8:34‭-‬35 NASB2020

因為凡祈求的,就得著;尋找的,就尋見;叩門的,就給他開門。
馬太福音 7:8 (和合本)
For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
Matthew 7:8 NASB2020

2021年8月26日 星期四

你們中間若有缺少智慧的,應當求那厚賜與眾人、也不斥責人的神,主就必賜給他

你們中間若有缺少智慧的,應當求那厚賜與眾人、也不斥責人的神,主就必賜給他。
只要憑著信心求,一點不疑惑;因為那疑惑的人,就像海中的波浪,被風吹動翻騰。
這樣的人不要想從主那裡得什麼。
雅各書 1:5-7 (和合本)
》一切的智慧從主而來,世界上的科技也只不過在模仿上帝的智慧而已。求主賜給我智慧,做好份內的事。

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that person ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,
James 1:5‭-‬7 NASB2020

他們從何珥山起行,往紅海那條路走,要繞過以東地。百姓因這路難行,心中甚是煩躁,
就怨讟神和摩西說:「你們為什麼把我們從埃及領出來、使我們死在曠野呢?這裡沒有糧,沒有水,我們的心厭惡這淡薄的食物。」
於是耶和華使火蛇進入百姓中間,蛇就咬他們。以色列人中死了許多。
民數記 21:4-6 (和合本)
Then they set out from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the people became impatient because of the journey. So the people spoke against God and Moses: “Why have you brought us up from Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we are disgusted with this miserable food.” Then the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died.
Numbers 21:4‭-‬6 NASB2020

以色列人從那裡起行,到了比珥(就是井的意思)。從前耶和華吩咐摩西說:「招聚百姓,我好給他們水喝」,說的就是這井。
當時,以色列人唱歌說:井啊,湧上水來!你們要向這井歌唱。
民數記 21:16-17 (和合本)
From there they continued to Beer, that is the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Assemble the people, that I may give them water.” Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well! Sing to it!
Numbers 21:16‭-‬17 NASB2020

亞當的七世孫以諾,曾預言這些人說:「看哪,主帶著他的千萬聖者降臨,
要在眾人身上行審判,證實那一切不敬虔的人,所妄行一切不敬虔的事,又證實不敬虔之罪人所說頂撞他的剛愎話。」
這些人是私下議論,常發怨言的,隨從自己的情慾而行,口中說誇大的話,為得便宜諂媚人。
猶大書 1:14-16 (和合本)
It was also about these people that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord has come with many thousands of His holy ones, to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage.
Jude 1:14‭-‬16 NASB2020

人不拘用什麼法子,你們總不要被他誘惑;因為那日子以前,必有離道反教的事,並有那大罪人,就是沉淪之子,顯露出來。
他是抵擋主,高抬自己,超過一切稱為神的和一切受人敬拜的,甚至坐在神的殿裡,自稱是神。
帖撒羅尼迦後書 2:3-4 (和合本)
No one is to deceive you in any way! For it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.
2 Thessalonians 2:3‭-‬4 NASB2020

2021年8月25日 星期三

所羅門建造耶和華的殿,從立根基直到成功的日子,工料俱備

所羅門照著他父大衛所定的例,派定祭司的班次,使他們各供己事,又使利未人各盡其職,讚美耶和華,在祭司面前做每日所當做的;又派守門的按著班次看守各門,因為神人大衛是這樣吩咐的。
王所吩咐眾祭司和利未人的,無論是管府庫或辦別的事,他們都不違背。
所羅門建造耶和華的殿,從立根基直到成功的日子,工料俱備。這樣,耶和華的殿全然完畢。
歷代志下 8:14-16 (和合本)
>> 所羅門建殿會如此順利,工料俱備,與大衛王的順服有很大的關係。雖然上帝沒有讓大衛建殿,上帝清楚的跟大衛說讓所羅門建殿的心意。大衛清楚上帝的心意以後,就樂意的順服,並且為聖殿建造預備一切。也許我的一生不如所願,但願達成上帝的願望。清楚上帝的旨意就努力執行。

Now according to the ordinance of his father David, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites for their duties of praise and ministering before the priests according to the daily rule, and the gatekeepers by their divisions at every gate; for this is what David, the man of God, had commanded. And they did not deviate from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites in any matter or regarding the storehouses. So all the work of Solomon was carried out from the day of the foundation of the house of the Lord, until it was finished. So the house of the Lord was completed.
2 Chronicles 8:14‭-‬16 NASB2020

所以,我們不喪膽。外體雖然毀壞,內心卻一天新似一天。
哥林多後書 4:16 CUNP-上帝
Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer person is decaying, yet our inner person is being renewed day by day.
2 Corinthians 4:16 NASB2020

他為我們選擇產業, 就是他所愛之雅各的榮耀。(細拉)
詩篇 47:4 CUNP-上帝
He chooses our inheritance for us, The pride of Jacob whom He loves. Selah
Psalms 47:4 NASB2020

惟願公平如大水滾滾,使公義如江河滔滔。
阿摩司書 5:24 (和合本)
But let justice roll out like waters, And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
Amos 5:24 NASB2020

從前主救了他的百姓出埃及地,後來就把那些不信的滅絕了。這一切的事,你們雖然都知道,我卻仍要提醒你們。
猶大書 1:5 (和合本)
Now I want to remind you, though you know everything once and for all, that the Lord, after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, subsequently destroyed those who did not believe.
Jude 1:5 NASB2020

2021年8月24日 星期二

因為有些人偷著進來、就是自古被定受刑罰的、是不虔誠的、將我們上帝的恩變作 放縱情慾的機會、並且不認獨一的主宰我們主耶穌基督

以大碗喝酒,用上等的油抹身,卻不為約瑟的苦難擔憂。所以這些人必在被擄的人中首先被擄;舒身的人荒宴之樂必消滅了。摩6:6-7

>> 不可否認的,若走在神的旨意裡,大部分會過著不錯的生活。然而,若將這些恩典當作理所當然,忘記是上帝讓我們如此,也忘記身邊仍有許多人未認識主、忘記許多人仍在困苦之中,這其實是忘記基督徒祭司的身分、忘記耶穌要我們愛人如己的心。求主保守我不獨善其身,要想想人生當如何,才能踏出去關懷他人。

因為有些人偷著進來、就是自古被定受刑罰的、是不虔誠的、將我們上帝的恩變作 放縱情慾的機會、並且不認獨一的主宰我們〔我們或作和我們〕主耶穌基督。 猶4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into indecent behavior and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Jude 1:4 NASB2020


我降瘟疫在你們中間、像在埃及一樣。用刀殺戮你們的少年人、使你們的馬匹被 擄掠、營中屍首的臭氣撲鼻。你們仍不歸向我。這是耶和華說的。摩4:10 I sent a plague among you as in Egypt; I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses, And I made the stench of your camp rise up in your nostrils; Yet you have not returned to Me, declares the Lord. Amos 4:10 NASB2020

他們不是靠自己的刀劍得地土,也不是靠自己的膀臂得勝,乃是靠你的右手、你的膀臂,和你臉上的亮光,因為你喜悅他們

百姓回答說:「我們斷不敢離棄耶和華去事奉別神;
因耶和華我們的神曾將我們和我們列祖從埃及地的為奴之家領出來,在我們眼前行了那些大神蹟,在我們所行的道上,所經過的諸國,都保護了我們。
約書亞記 24:16-17 (和合本)
>> 說的很好,但若不依靠主耶穌,最後還是會陷入罪的誘惑裡面。因此耶穌說「總要警醒禱告,免得入了迷惑。你們心靈固然願意,肉體卻軟弱了。」(馬太福音 26:41 )。親愛的主耶穌,我希望一直在祢的旨意裡,求祢幫助我,也讓我常有禱告的心志。

你曾用手趕出外邦人,卻栽培了我們列祖;你苦待列邦,卻叫我們列祖發達。
因為他們不是靠自己的刀劍得地土,也不是靠自己的膀臂得勝,乃是靠你的右手、你的膀臂,和你臉上的亮光,因為你喜悅他們。
神啊,你是我的王;求你出令使雅各得勝。
我們靠你要推倒我們的敵人,靠你的名要踐踏那起來攻擊我們的人。
詩篇 44:2-5 (和合本)
You with Your own hand drove out the nations; Then You planted them; You afflicted the peoples, Then You let them go free. For by their own sword they did not possess the land, And their own arm did not save them, But Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence, For You favored them. You are my King, God; Command victories for Jacob. Through You we will push back our adversaries; Through Your name we will trample down those who rise up against us.
Psalms 44:2‭-‬5 NASB2020

後來我所揀選的那人,他的杖必發芽。這樣,我必使以色列人向你們所發的怨言止息,不再達到我耳中。」
民數記 17:5 (和合本)
And it will come about that the staff of the man whom I choose will sprout. So I will relieve Myself of the grumblings of the sons of Israel, who are grumbling against you.”
Numbers 17:5 NASB2020

你和你的兒子要為一切屬壇和幔子內的事一同守祭司的職任。你們要這樣供職;我將祭司的職任給你們當作賞賜事奉我。凡挨近的外人必被治死。」
民數記 18:7 (和合本)
But you and your sons with you shall attend to your priesthood for everything that concerns the altar and inside the veil, and you are to perform service. I am giving you the priesthood as a service that is a gift, and the unauthorized person who comes near shall be put to death.”
Numbers 18:7 NASB2020

因為你們不信我,不在以色列人眼前尊我為聖,所以你們必不得領這會眾進我所賜給他們的地去

(大衛的詩,交與伶長。)我是投靠耶和華;你們怎麼對我說:你當像鳥飛往你的山去。
詩篇 11:1 (和合本)
》從小社會環境教導我們要有「自信心」,接受基督信仰後,漸漸地發現該從自信心轉移到對上帝的信。我們的自信心往往是將上帝的意念屏除在外的陷井,求主保守我,每當我快被自我充滿時,帶我來到祢目前認罪。

「你拿著杖去,和你的哥哥亞倫招聚會眾,在他們眼前吩咐磐石發出水來,水就從磐石流出,給會眾和他們的牲畜喝。」
民數記 20:8 (和合本)

摩西舉手,用杖擊打磐石兩下,就有許多水流出來,會眾和他們的牲畜都喝了。
耶和華對摩西、亞倫說:「因為你們不信我,不在以色列人眼前尊我為聖,所以你們必不得領這會眾進我所賜給他們的地去。」
這水名叫米利巴水(米利巴就是爭鬧的意思),是因以色列人向耶和華爭鬧,耶和華就在他們面前顯為聖。
民數記 20:11-13 (和合本)
“Take the staff; and you and your brother Aaron assemble the congregation and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it shall yield its water. So you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and have the congregation and their livestock drink.” Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with his staff; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their livestock drank. But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Since you did not trust in Me, to treat Me as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel, for that reason you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” Those were called the waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel argued with the Lord, and He proved Himself holy among them.
Numbers 20:8‭, ‬11‭-‬13 NASB2020

主日講道筆記 陳瑩真牧師主講

 做選擇一生隨時都在做

書24:1 約書亞將以色列的眾支派聚集在示劍,召了以色列的長老、族長、審判官,並官長來,他們就站在神面前。

約書亞找以色列會眾來,問他們要服事誰?

示劍介在以巴路與基利心山之間 一山代表祝福、一山代表咒詛 

問他們要選擇祝福還是咒詛?


挑戰選擇信仰

我們可以選,不是被迫

基督徒拜偶像嗎?問題常在我們心裡的偶像。

金錢、愛情、健康 這些都可能成為偶像
什麼是偶像?在上帝之外尋求救恩就是偶像

成功也會變成偶像 有求必應的成功神學是偶像 把神不當神 把自己當神

你事奉的是誰?

工作應該要是敬拜 我們被神差遣去工作來榮耀神

思想神的恩典

書24:16 百姓回答說:我們斷不敢離棄耶和華去事奉別神;
書24:17 因耶和華─我們的神曾將我們和我們列祖從埃及地的為奴之家領出來,在我們眼前行了那些大神蹟,在我們所行的道上,所經過的諸國,都保護了我們。
書24:18 耶和華又把住此地的亞摩利人都從我們面前趕出去。所以,我們必事奉耶和華,因為他是我們的神。

我平常思想感恩的事情還是大部分在思想抱怨的事情嗎?

以色列人曠野四十年 抱怨不停

上帝不讓發怨言的人進入應許之地

主說 我的恩典夠你用的

做出最佳選擇

書24:18 耶和華又把住此地的亞摩利人都從我們面前趕出去。所以,我們必事奉耶和華,因為他是我們的神。

羅7:18 我也知道在我裡頭,就是我肉體之中,沒有良善。因為,立志為善由得我,只是行出來由不得我。

什麼是事奉神?遵行神的旨意行出來就是事奉神

亨利馬太 被搶皮包 心中依然感恩 
人應該要有充滿感恩的生命


什麼是基督徒 事奉「基督」的門徒

結論

你選擇服事的是誰?

心裡謙卑與窮乏人來往、強如將擄物與驕傲人同分

箴16:18 驕傲在敗壞以先。狂心在跌倒之前。
箴16:19 心裡謙卑與窮乏人來往、強如將擄物與驕傲人同分。

>> 我一個持續的禱告夥伴,最近在工作上遇到刁難他的資深同事。聽他的分享,就會想到無論到哪個工作環境,都難免遇到驕傲的人,但又必須與他一起工作,真的分外辛苦。求主保守,讓我在面對不友善的人時,心裡依然緊緊抓著從基督而來的盼望,也要想到祂帶給我身邊可愛的屬靈夥伴和家人,感謝主的恩典。


那些以強暴搶奪財物、積蓄在自己家中的人不知道行正直的事。這是耶和華說的。所以主耶和華如此說:敵人必來圍攻這地,使你的勢力衰微,搶掠你的家宅。阿摩司書 3:10-11 (和合本)

我要拆毀過冬和過夏的房屋。象牙的房屋也必毀滅;高大的房屋都歸無有。這是耶和華說的。阿摩司書 3:15 (和合本)

But they do not know how to do what is right,” declares the Lord, “these who store up violence and devastation in their citadels.” Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: “An enemy, one surrounding the land, Will take down your fortifications from you, And your citadels will be looted.” I will also strike the winter house together with the summer house; The houses of ivory will also perish, And the great houses will come to an end,” Declares the Lord.

Amos 3:10‭-‬11‭, ‬15 NASB2020

求你發出你的亮光和真實,好引導我,帶我到你的聖山,到你的居所!我就走到神的祭壇,到我最喜樂的神那裡。神啊,我的神,我要彈琴稱讚你!詩篇 43:3-4 (和合本)

Send out Your light and Your truth, they shall lead me; They shall bring me to Your holy hill And to Your dwelling places. Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And I will praise You on the lyre, God, my God.

Psalms 43:3‭-‬4 NASB2020


2021年8月20日 星期五

我必將我的靈放在你們裡面,使你們順從我的律例,謹守遵行我的典章

我要使我的大名顯為聖;這名在列國中已被褻瀆,就是你們在他們中間所褻瀆的。我在他們眼前,在你們身上顯為聖的時候,他們就知道我是耶和華。這是主耶和華說的。
以西結書 36:23 (和合本)
我也要賜給你們一個新心,將新靈放在你們裡面,又從你們的肉體中除掉石心,賜給你們肉心。
我必將我的靈放在你們裡面,使你們順從我的律例,謹守遵行我的典章。
以西結書 36:26-27 (和合本)
>> 上帝為了祂自己的名得著榮耀,會為祂的子民施行拯救。我們能夠回轉,其實也是上帝的恩典。因為是祂給我們新心,使我們得以承載新靈,得以有力量執行祂的旨意,得以在一切行為上榮耀祂的名。一切都是上帝的恩典。
以色列人哪,你們全家是我從埃及地領上來的,當聽耶和華攻擊你們的話:
在地上萬族中,我只認識你們;因此,我必追討你們的一切罪孽。
阿摩司書 3:1-2 (和合本)
Hear this word which the Lord has spoken against you, sons of Israel, against the entire family which He brought up from the land of Egypt: “You only have I known among all the families of the earth; Therefore I will punish you for all your wrongdoing.”
Amos 3:1‭-‬2 NASB2020

耶穌基督的僕人,雅各的弟兄猶大,寫信給那被召、在父神裡蒙愛、為耶穌基督保守的人。
猶大書 1:1 (和合本)
Jude, a bond-servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, To those who are the called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
Jude 1:1 NASB2020

神的旨意就是要你們成為聖潔,遠避淫行;
帖撒羅尼迦前書 4:3 (和合本)

神召我們,本不是要我們沾染污穢,乃是要我們成為聖潔。
所以那棄絕的,不是棄絕人,乃是棄絕那賜聖靈給你們的神。
帖撒羅尼迦前書 4:7-8 (和合本)
For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; For God has not called us for impurity, but in sanctification. Therefore, the one who rejects this is not rejecting man, but the God who gives His Holy Spirit to you.
1 Thessalonians 4:3‭, ‬7‭-‬8 NASB2020

神賜給所羅門極大的智慧聰明和廣大的心,如同海沙不可測量。
列王紀上 4:29 (和合本)
Now God gave Solomon wisdom and very great discernment and breadth of mind, like the sand that is on the seashore.
1 Kings 4:29 NASB2020

窺探地的人中,嫩的兒子約書亞和耶孚尼的兒子迦勒撕裂衣服,
對以色列全會眾說:「我們所窺探、經過之地是極美之地。
耶和華若喜悅我們,就必將我們領進那地,把地賜給我們;那地原是流奶與蜜之地。
但你們不可背叛耶和華,也不要怕那地的居民;因為他們是我們的食物,並且蔭庇他們的已經離開他們。有耶和華與我們同在,不要怕他們!」
民數記 14:6-9 (和合本)
And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; and they spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “The land which we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. If the Lord is pleased with us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us—a land which flows with milk and honey. Only do not rebel against the Lord; and do not fear the people of the land, for they will be our prey. Their protection is gone from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them.”
Numbers 14:6‭-‬9 NASB2020

惟獨我的僕人迦勒,因他另有一個心志,專一跟從我,我就把他領進他所去過的那地;他的後裔也必得那地為業。
民數記 14:24 (和合本)
But as for My servant Caleb, because he has had a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring him into the land which he entered, and his descendants shall take possession of it.
Numbers 14:24 NASB2020

我兒,你要遵守我的言語,將我的命令存記在心。
遵守我的命令就得存活;保守我的法則(或作:指教),好像保守眼中的瞳人,
繫在你指頭上,刻在你心版上。
箴言 7:1-3 (和合本)
My son, keep my words And treasure my commandments within you. Keep my commandments and live, And my teaching as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart.
Proverbs 7:1‭-‬3 NASB2020

2021年8月19日 星期四

我的心哪,你為何憂悶?為何在我裡面煩躁?應當仰望神,因他笑臉幫助我;我還要稱讚他。

他在萬有之先;萬有也靠他而立。
他也是教會全體之首。他是元始,是從死裡首先復生的,使他可以在凡事上居首位。
因為父喜歡叫一切的豐盛在他裡面居住。
歌羅西書 1:17-19 (和合本)
》耶穌是完全的神,也是完全的人。謝謝耶穌,我可以完全倚靠祂,祂掌管萬有。祂也完全了解我,知道我的需要與軟弱。

我晝夜以眼淚當飲食;人不住的對我說:你的神在那裡呢?
我從前與眾人同往,用歡呼稱讚的聲音領他們到神的殿裡,大家守節。我追想這些事,我的心極其悲傷。
我的心哪,你為何憂悶?為何在我裡面煩躁?應當仰望神,因他笑臉幫助我;我還要稱讚他。
我的神啊,我的心在我裡面憂悶,所以我從約但地,從黑門嶺,從米薩山記念你。
你的瀑布發聲,深淵就與深淵響應;你的波浪洪濤漫過我身。
白晝,耶和華必向我施慈愛;黑夜,我要歌頌禱告賜我生命的神。
詩篇 42:3-8 (和合本)
My tears have been my food day and night, While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?” I remember these things and pour out my soul within me. For I used to go over with the multitude and walk them to the house of God, With a voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude celebrating a festival. Why are you in despair, my soul? And why are you restless within me? Wait for God, for I will again praise Him For the help of His presence, my God. My soul is in despair within me; Therefore I remember You from the land of the Jordan And the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar. Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; All Your breakers and Your waves have passed over me. The Lord will send His goodness in the daytime; And His song will be with me in the night, A prayer to the God of my life. 
Psalms 42:3-8

所以弟兄們、我們在一切困苦患難之中、因著你們的信心就得了安慰。帖前3:7 
for this reason, brothers and sisters, in all our distress and affliction we were comforted about you through your faith;

我們在那裡看見亞衲族人、就是偉人、他們是偉人的後裔、據我們看自己就如蚱 蜢一樣、據他們看我們也是如此。民13:33
We also saw the Nephilim there (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
Numbers 13:33

親愛的兄弟阿、不要效法惡、只要效法善。行善的屬乎上帝。行惡的未曾見過上帝。約參11 
'Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does what is good is of God; the one who does what is evil has not seen God. 
3 John 1:11

2021年8月18日 星期三

信靠的人必不著急。

所以,主耶和華如此說:看哪,我在錫安放一塊石頭作為根基,是試驗過的石頭,是穩固根基,寶貴的房角石;信靠的人必不著急。
我必以公平為準繩,以公義為線鉈。冰雹必沖去謊言的避所;大水必漫過藏身之處。
你們與死亡所立的約必然廢掉,與陰間所結的盟必立不住。敵軍(原文作鞭子)如水漲漫經過的時候,你們必被他踐踏;
每逢經過必將你們擄去。因為每早晨他必經過,白晝黑夜都必如此。明白傳言的必受驚恐。
以賽亞書 28:16-19 (和合本)
》求主讓我堅定信靠在祂身上,就算環境不如預期,依然耐心等待。

(大衛的詩,交與伶長。)我曾耐性等候耶和華;他垂聽我的呼求。
詩篇 40:1 (和合本)

那倚靠耶和華、不理會狂傲和偏向虛假之輩的,這人便為有福!
詩篇 40:4 (和合本)

祭物和禮物,你不喜悅;你已經開通我的耳朵。燔祭和贖罪祭非你所要。
詩篇 40:6 (和合本)

耶和華啊,求你不要向我止住你的慈悲!願你的慈愛和誠實常常保佑我!
詩篇 40:11 (和合本)

願一切尋求你的,因你高興歡喜!願那些喜愛你救恩的,常說:當尊耶和華為大!
但我是困苦窮乏的,主仍顧念我;你是幫助我的,搭救我的。神啊,求你不要耽延!
詩篇 40:16-17 (和合本)

我們的盼望和喜樂,並所誇的冠冕是什麼呢?豈不是我們主耶穌來的時候、你們在他面前站立得住嗎?
帖撒羅尼迦前書 2:19 (和合本)

所羅門說:「你僕人我父親大衛用誠實、公義、正直的心行在你面前,你就向他大施恩典,又為他存留大恩,賜他一個兒子坐在他的位上,正如今日一樣。
列王紀上 3:6 (和合本)

所以求你賜我智慧,可以判斷你的民,能辨別是非。不然,誰能判斷這眾多的民呢?」
所羅門因為求這事,就蒙主喜悅。
列王紀上 3:9-10 (和合本)

你所沒有求的,我也賜給你,就是富足、尊榮,使你在世的日子,列王中沒有一個能比你的。
你若效法你父親大衛,遵行我的道,謹守我的律例、誡命,我必使你長壽。」
列王紀上 3:13-14 (和合本)

眾百姓發怨言,他們的惡語達到耶和華的耳中。耶和華聽見了就怒氣發作,使火在他們中間焚燒,直燒到營的邊界。
百姓向摩西哀求,摩西祈求耶和華,火就熄了。
民數記 11:1-2 (和合本)

耶和華對摩西說:「你從以色列的長老中招聚七十個人,就是你所知道作百姓的長老和官長的,到我這裡來,領他們到會幕前,使他們和你一同站立。
我要在那裡降臨,與你說話,也要把降於你身上的靈分賜他們,他們就和你同當這管百姓的重任,免得你獨自擔當。
民數記 11:16-17 (和合本)

耶和華對摩西說:「耶和華的膀臂豈是縮短了嗎?現在要看我的話向你應驗不應驗。」
民數記 11:23 (和合本)

摩西對他說:「你為我的緣故嫉妒人嗎?惟願耶和華的百姓都受感說話!願耶和華把他的靈降在他們身上!」
民數記 11:29 (和合本)

耶和華說:「你們且聽我的話:你們中間若有先知,我耶和華必在異象中向他顯現,在夢中與他說話。
我的僕人摩西不是這樣;他是在我全家盡忠的。
我要與他面對面說話,乃是明說,不用謎語,並且他必見我的形像。你們毀謗我的僕人摩西,為何不懼怕呢?」
民數記 12:6-8 (和合本)

凡靈認耶穌基督是成了肉身來的、就是出於上帝的。從此你們可以認出上帝的靈來

約壹4:1 親愛的弟兄阿、一切的靈、你們不可都信。總要試驗那些靈是出於上帝的不是。 因為世上有許多假先知已經出來了。
約壹4:2 凡靈認耶穌基督是成了肉身來的、就是出於上帝的。從此你們可以認出上帝的靈 來。
約壹4:3 凡靈不認耶穌、就不是出於上帝。這是那敵基督者的靈。你們從前聽見他要來。 現在已經在世上了。
>> 幾年前北門聖教會曾有一段時間,有幾個弟兄姊妹從某教會過來。分別聽他們描述,大概了解他們離開原來那個教會的原因,是因為那個教會會要求傳福音的果效、重視能力、要求紀律。這樣的教會,雖然表面上很有效率、能力,但容易讓人靠自己,忘記要靠耶穌。耶穌是活在我們中間,是完全的人,也是完全的神。祂不是丟掉我們不管,我們必須靠自己努力來達到祂目標的神。祂是與我們同行,帶著我們一起前進的「朋友」。願我們清楚耶穌的人性與神性,永遠倚靠祂。

但神既然驗中了我們,把福音託付我們,我們就照樣講,不是要討人喜歡,乃是要討那察驗我們心的神喜歡。帖撒羅尼迦前書 2:4 (和合本) but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not intending to please people, but to please God, who examines our hearts. 1 Thessalonians 2:4 NASB2020


2021年8月16日 星期一

因我所遭遇的是出於你,我就默然不語

十二使徒叫眾門徒來,對他們說:「我們撇下神的道去管理飯食,原是不合宜的。
所以弟兄們,當從你們中間選出七個有好名聲、被聖靈充滿、智慧充足的人,我們就派他們管理這事。
但我們要專心以祈禱、傳道為事。」
使徒行傳 6:2-4 (和合本)
》我們教會小,難免一個人需要擔負多樣事工。然而,牧者的傳道工作非常的重要,因此,再怎麼樣,也盡量不要讓教會牧者因為事工繁忙而「撇下神的道去管理飯食」。求主保守我們教會,在每樣事工上有合適的人來承擔,也尊重牧者傳道的專業。

因為我們的福音傳到你們那裡,不獨在乎言語,也在乎權能和聖靈,並充足的信心,正如你們知道、我們在你們那裡,為你們的緣故是怎樣為人。
帖撒羅尼迦前書 1:5 (和合本)
for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sakes.
1 Thessalonians 1:5 NASB2020

遵守耶和華你神所吩咐的,照著摩西律法上所寫的行主的道,謹守他的律例、誡命、典章、法度。這樣,你無論做什麼事,不拘往何處去,盡都亨通。

Do your duty to the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His ordinances, and His testimonies, according to what is written in the Law of Moses, so that you may succeed in all that you do and wherever you turn,
1 Kings 2:3 NASB2020

約櫃往前行的時候,摩西就說:「耶和華啊,求你興起!願你的仇敵四散!願恨你的人從你面前逃跑!」
約櫃停住的時候,他就說:「耶和華啊,求你回到以色列的千萬人中!」
民數記 10:35-36 (和合本)
Then it came about when the ark set out that Moses said, “Rise up, Lord! And may Your enemies be scattered, And those who hate You flee from Your presence.” And when it came to rest, he said, “Return, Lord, To the myriad thousands of Israel.”
Numbers 10:35‭-‬36 NASB2020

耶和華必從錫安吼叫,從耶路撒冷發聲,天地就震動。耶和華卻要作他百姓的避難所,作以色列人的保障。

叫我按著所該說的話將這奧秘發明出來。

神對他說:「你既然求這事,不為自己求壽、求富,也不求滅絕你仇敵的性命,單求智慧可以聽訟,
我就應允你所求的,賜你聰明智慧,甚至在你以前沒有像你的,在你以後也沒有像你的。
列王紀上 3:11-12 (和合本)
》我們常願禱告蒙應允,在這裡看到,上帝不做好好先生,禱告是否蒙應允要看我們的禱告內容,是否是上帝的心意?求主改變我禱告的態度,要求什麼以前,先想我懂上帝的心意有多少?
你們要恆切禱告,在此警醒感恩。
也要為我們禱告,求神給我們開傳道的門,能以講基督的奧秘(我為此被捆鎖),
叫我按著所該說的話將這奧秘發明出來。
歌羅西書 4:2-4 (和合本)
Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving; praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned; that I may make it clear in the way that I ought to proclaim it.
Colossians 4:2‭-‬4 NASB2020

到那時候,凡求告耶和華名的就必得救;因為照耶和華所說的,在錫安山,耶路撒冷必有逃脫的人,在剩下的人中必有耶和華所召的。」
約珥書 2:32 (和合本)

主日講道筆記 魏榮祈牧師

所羅門說:「你僕人我父親大衛用誠實、公義、正直的心行在你面前,你就向他大施恩典,又為他存留大恩,賜他一個兒子坐在他的位上,正如今日一樣。
耶和華我的神啊,如今你使僕人接續我父親大衛作王;但我是幼童,不知道應當怎樣出入。
僕人住在你所揀選的民中,這民多得不可勝數。
所以求你賜我智慧,可以判斷你的民,能辨別是非。不然,誰能判斷這眾多的民呢?」
所羅門因為求這事,就蒙主喜悅。
神對他說:「你既然求這事,不為自己求壽、求富,也不求滅絕你仇敵的性命,單求智慧可以聽訟,
我就應允你所求的,賜你聰明智慧,甚至在你以前沒有像你的,在你以後也沒有像你的。
你所沒有求的,我也賜給你,就是富足、尊榮,使你在世的日子,列王中沒有一個能比你的。
你若效法你父親大衛,遵行我的道,謹守我的律例、誡命,我必使你長壽。」
列王紀上 3:6-14 (和合本)

禱告就是與上帝的對話

禱告應允為什麼?為何上帝應允所羅門?

其實所羅門後來離棄神,為何不屬靈的人蒙應允?

所羅門愛耶和華,遵行他父親大衛的律例,只是還在邱壇獻祭燒香。
列王紀上 3:3 (和合本)

這時候所羅門靈命不錯,只是後來漸漸敗壞

所羅門清楚知道自己的身份,影響他作事的態度

身份定位影響思維

我們是君尊的祭司,聖潔的國度,屬神的子民

上帝都知道,我們為何還需要禱告?

禱告是與神的親密關係

所羅門求智慧
上帝是智慧的源頭

神願意給我們豐盛平安,然而有神的智慧比這一切更重要

與神的心意融合 知道神,認識自己

願上帝給我們天上各樣屬靈的福氣

你想百合花怎麼長起來;他也不勞苦,也不紡線。然而我告訴你們,就是所羅門極榮華的時候,他所穿戴的,還不如這花一朵呢!

時候將到、如今就是了、那真正拜父的、要用心靈和誠實拜他、因為父要這樣的人拜他。約4:23 
>> 要身體健康最好隨時補水,要心靈健康當求賜生命活水的耶穌的隨時引領。我的一切耶穌都知道,我只管用最真實自在的方式來到祂的面前,不需要任何的造作。敬拜是向著神,不是為了任何人。

無論做什麼,都要從心裡做,像是給主做的,不是給人做的,因你們知道從主那裡必得著基業為賞賜;你們所事奉的乃是主基督。歌羅西書 3:23-24 (和合本) Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for people, knowing that it is from the Lord that you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve. Colossians 3:23‭-‬24 NASB2020

他們遵耶和華的吩咐安營,也遵耶和華的吩咐起行。他們守耶和華所吩咐的,都是憑耶和華吩咐摩西的。民數記 9:23 (和合本) At the command of the Lord they camped, and at the command of the Lord they set out; they did what the Lord required, in accordance with the command of the Lord through Moses. Numbers 9:23 NASB2020

事奉耶和華的祭司要在廊子和祭壇中間哭泣,說:耶和華啊,求你顧惜你的百姓,不要使你的產業受羞辱,列邦管轄他們。為何容列國的人說:「他們的神在那裡」呢?約 珥書 2:17 (和合本) Let the priests, the Lord’s ministers, Weep between the porch and the altar, And let them say, “Spare Your people, Lord, And do not make Your inheritance a disgrace, With the nations jeering at them. Why should those among the peoples say, ‘Where is their God?’ ”Joel 2:17 NASB2020

錫安的民哪,你們要快樂,為耶和華你們的神歡喜;因他賜給你們合宜的秋雨,為你們降下甘霖,就是秋雨、春雨,和先前一樣。約珥書 2:23 (和合本) So shout for joy, you sons of Zion, And rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the early rain for your vindication. And He has brought down for you the rain, The early and latter rain as before. Joel 2:23 NASB2020

等我進了神的聖所,思想他們的結局

弟兄們,我還有話說,你們要靠主喜樂。我把這話再寫給你們,於我並不為難,於你們卻是妥當。

摩西對百姓說:「不要懼怕,只管站住!看耶和華今天向你們所要施行的救恩。因為,你們今天所看見的埃及人必永遠不再看見了。

你們要謹慎,恐怕有人用他的理學和虛空的妄言,不照著基督,乃照人間的遺傳和世上的小學就把你們擄去。西2:8 See to it that there is no one who takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception in accordance with human tradition, in accordance with the elementary principles of the world, rather than in accordance with Christ. Colossians 2:8

民6:2 你曉諭以色列人說:無論男女許了特別的願,就是拿細耳人的願(拿細耳就是歸主的意思;下同),要離俗歸耶和華。

在一切屬靈的智慧悟性上,滿心知道神的旨意;好叫你們行事為人對得起主,凡事蒙他喜悅,在一切善事上結果子,漸漸的多知道神

並且要以我主長久忍耐為得救的因由、就如我們所親愛的兄弟保羅、照著所賜 給他的智慧、寫了信給你們。他一切的信上、也都是講論這些事。信中有些難明白的、那無學問不堅固的人 強解、如強解別的經書一樣、就自取沉淪。彼後3:15-16 
>> 屬靈長輩、師長總是強調「以經解經」的重要性,我想,在此使徒彼得也在說類似的重點。我們人生會經歷許多事,我們尋求神的話語得著指引是好事,但最怕「聽錯」上帝的話,而將自己的盼望強壓在上帝話語之上就會發生!求主保守我心,讀經靈修時,務必讓神的話帶領,而不是讓自己的意念超過神的話語。求主的光透過祂的話語照亮我身上每個角落。

因此,我們自從聽見的日子,也就為你們不住的禱告祈求,願你們在一切屬靈的智慧悟性上,滿心知道神的旨意;好叫你們行事為人對得起主,凡事蒙他喜悅,在一切善事上結果子,漸漸的多知道神;照他榮耀的權能,得以在各樣的力上加力,好叫你們凡事歡歡喜喜的忍耐寬容;歌羅西書 1:9-11 (和合本) For this reason we also, since the day we heard about it, have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all perseverance and patience; joyously
Colossians 1:9‭-‬11 NASB2020

我們傳揚他,是用諸般的智慧,勸戒各人,教導各人,要把各人在基督裡完完全全的引到神面前。我也為此勞苦,照著他在我裡面運用的大能盡心竭力。歌羅西書 1:28-29 (和合本) We proclaim Him, admonishing every person and teaching every person with all wisdom, so that we may present every person complete in Christ. For this purpose I also labor, striving according to His power which works mightily within me. Colossians 1:28‭-‬29 NASB2020

「你曉諭以色列人說:無論男女,若犯了人所常犯的罪,以致干犯耶和華,那人就有了罪。他要承認所犯的罪,將所虧負人的,如數賠還,另外加上五分之一,也歸與所虧負的人。民數記 5:6-7 (和合本) Speak to the sons of Israel: When a man or woman commits any of the sins of mankind, acting unfaithfully against the Lord, and that person is guilty, then he shall confess his sin which he has committed, and he shall make restitution in full for his wrong and add to it a fifth of it, and give it to him whom he has wronged.

For this reason we also, since the day we heard about it, have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.
Colossians 1:9-10

惟獨利未支派你不可數點、也不可在以色列人中計算他們的總數。只要派利未人管法櫃的帳幕和其中的器具、並屬乎帳幕的、他們要抬〔或作搬運 〕帳幕和其中的器具、並要辦理帳幕的事。在帳幕的四圍安營。民1:49-50
Only the tribe of Levi you shall not count, nor shall you take their census among the sons of Israel. And you shall appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its furnishings and over everything that belongs to it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings, and they shall take care of it; they shall also camp around the tabernacle.
Numbers 1:49-50

愛裡沒有懼怕。愛既完全、就把懼怕除去。因為懼怕裡含著刑罰。懼怕的人在 愛裡未得完全。我們愛、因為上帝先愛我們。約壹4:18-19
There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us.
1 John 4:18-19

他對我說、大蒙眷愛的但以理阿、要明白我與你所說的話、只管站起來、因為我 現在奉差遣來到你這裡。他對我說這話、我便戰戰兢兢的立起來。他就說、但以理阿、不要懼怕、因為從你第一日專心求明白將來的事、又在你上帝面前刻苦己心、你的言語巳蒙應允、我是因你的言語而來。但10:11-12
And he said to me, “Daniel, you who are treasured, understand the words that I am about to tell you and stand at your place, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up trembling. Then he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words.

主所應許的尚未成就、有人以為他是耽延。其實不是耽延、乃是寬容你們、不願有一人沉淪、乃願人人都悔改

主所應許的尚未成就、有人以為他是耽延。其實不是耽延、乃是寬容你們、不願有一人沉淪、乃願人人都悔改。彼後3:9
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

小子們哪、你們是屬上帝的、並且勝了他們。因為那在你們裡面的、比那在世界上的更大。約壹4:4
You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4

親愛的弟兄阿、上帝既是這樣愛我們、我們也當彼此相愛。約壹4:11
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.  1 John 4:11

我知道怎樣處卑賤、也知道怎樣處豐富、或飽足、或飢餓、或有餘、或缺乏、隨事隨在、我都得了秘訣。我靠著那加給我力量的、凡事都能作。腓4:12 -13
I know how to get along with little, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:12-13

我們的上帝阿、現在你垂聽僕人的祈禱懇求、為自己使臉光照你荒涼的聖所。我的上帝阿、求你側耳而聽、睜眼而看、眷顧我們荒涼之地、和稱為你名下的城 。我們在你面前懇求、原不是因自己的義、乃因你的大憐憫。但9:17-18
So now, our God, listen to the prayer of Your servant and to his pleas, and for Your sake, Lord, let Your face shine on Your desolate sanctuary. My God, incline Your ear and hear! Open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city which is called by Your name; for we are not presenting our pleas before You based on any merits of our own, but based on Your great compassion. Daniel 9:17-18

雖是這樣、他們在仇敵之地、我卻不厭棄他們、也不厭惡他們、將他們盡行滅絕 、也不背棄我與他們所立的約、因為我是耶和華他們的上帝。我卻要為他們的緣故、記念我與他們先祖所立的約、他們的先祖是我在列邦人眼 前、從埃及地領出來的、為要作他們的上帝。我是耶和華。利26:44-45
Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, nor will I so loathe them as to destroy them, breaking My covenant with them; for I am the Lord their God. But I will remember for them the covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, so that I might be their God. I am the Lord . Leviticus 26:44-45

願全地都敬畏耶和華。願世上的居民、都懼怕他。因為他說有、就有。命立、就立。詩33:8-9

Our soul waits for the Lord ; He is our help and our shield. For our heart rejoices in Him, Because we trust in His holy name. Let Your favor, Lord , be upon us, Just as we have waited for You. Psalms 33:20-22

主日講道筆記 何建榮牧師主講

差不多嗎?差不多先生的故事

信什麼都差不多嗎?生命的事也差不多就好嗎?

撒下22:47 耶和華是活神,願我的磐石被人稱頌!願神─那拯救我的磐石被人尊崇!

撒下22:48 這位神就是那為我伸冤、使眾民服在我以下的。

撒下22:49 你救我脫離仇敵,又把我舉起,高過那些起來攻擊我的;你救我脫離強暴的人。

撒下22:50 耶和華啊,因此我要在外邦中稱謝你,歌頌你的名。

撒下22:51 耶和華賜極大的救恩給他所立的王,施慈愛給他的受膏者,就是給大衛和他的後裔,直到永遠!


經歷祂是活神

歌利亞倚靠勢力能力,但是大衛倚靠的是萬軍之耶和華。

征戰得勝後卻換來掃羅的追殺長達五年,顛沛流離。過程中,雖有兩次可殺掉掃羅,但大衛知道掃羅是上帝所膏,因此不殺掃羅。

大衛過程中時而軟弱,甚至一度沒有求問神,就逃到非利士地去。

大衛立王後依然多有征戰,也一度軟弱因迷戀拔示巴而陷殺烏利亞。

之後又被兒子押沙龍追殺而離開耶路撒冷

臣子亞希多弗背叛他支持押沙龍

撒下16:23 那時亞希多弗所出的主意好像人問神的話一樣;他昔日給大衛,今日給押沙龍所出的主意,都是這樣。

撒下15:31 有人告訴大衛說:亞希多弗也在叛黨之中,隨從押沙龍。大衛禱告說:耶和華啊,求你使亞希多弗的計謀變為愚拙

大衛一生無論順逆都緊緊倚靠神

1967年六日戰爭,阿拉伯國家聯合攻擊以色列 

一位基督徒將軍虔誠禱告主「亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的上帝啊!求你眷顧你的百姓。」三天內,阿拉伯聯軍的制空權被破壞殆盡。敵軍戰車突然動不了,因為看見以色列人身邊又高又大穿白袍者拿著雷射火球為他們征戰。

大衛三次不殺掃羅,寧願等候上帝的時間,讓上帝來做。

什麼才是上帝給的機會?大衛想的不一樣,這是機會嗎?還是神的試驗?大衛絕不擅做上帝沒要他做的事情。

敬畏神的生活

我們做什麼,上帝都知道。

撒下22:26 慈愛的人,你以慈愛待他;完全的人,你以完全待他;
撒下22:27 清潔的人,你以清潔待他;乖僻的人,你以彎曲待他。

摩西年老的吩咐

申10:12 以色列啊,現在耶和華─你神向你所要的是什麼呢﹖只要你敬畏耶和華─你的神,遵行他的道,愛他,盡心盡性事奉他

傳揚活神的作為

撒下22:47 耶和華是活神,願我的磐石被人稱頌!願神─那拯救我的磐石被人尊崇!

我們有領人向永生神的責任

司布真牧師與腳踏車店老闆的故事

結論

神是活神,當初拯救大衛,也要施行拯救在你我身上,無論何種環境,我們都可向活神祈求

你救我脫離仇敵,又把我舉起,高過那些起來攻擊我的;你救我脫離強暴的人

撒下22:49 你救我脫離仇敵,又把我舉起,高過那些起來攻擊我的;你救我脫離強暴的人。
撒下22:50 耶和華啊,因此我要在外邦中稱謝你,歌頌你的名。

>> 大衛一生其實不好過,年輕時在沙場征戰,後來被掃羅王追殺,做王後經歷喪子、親人臣子背叛,甚至再次流離。今天是父親節,回想過往雖沒有大衛那麼慘,但嘆息的好像比他大聲?對自己太晚認信感到可惜,也對自己為了經濟而被困住感到嘆息。但是,未來若要嘆息時,應跟大衛一樣想想自己已在堅固磐石之上。也許環境依然辛苦,但心裡知道有主同在就要大喜樂!

惟獨遵行我天父旨意的人、才能進去

太7:21 凡稱呼我主阿、主阿的人、不能都進天國。惟獨遵行我天父旨意的人、才能進去 。
太7:22 當那日必有許多人對我說、主阿、主阿、我們不是奉你的名傳道、奉你的名趕鬼 、奉你的名行許多異能麼。
太7:23 我就明明的告訴他們說、我從來不認識你們、你們這些作惡的人、離開我去罷 。

Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; leave Me, you who practice lawlessness.’ 

Matthew 7:21-23


>> 信主以前多年的習慣、處境裡的教導,凡如「靠自己」、「相信自己」、「人定勝天」等等人本主義之下,似乎利己利人,但裡面沒有上帝的旨意。今天經文提醒我「惟獨遵行我天父旨意的人、才能進去」。如果我不清楚上帝要我怎麼行,我怎麼有把握自己的思想、言行在祂的旨意裡面呢?這就像是不去明白父母、上司的指導,卻武斷地說我都知道了?求主保守我的擺上是在祂的心意裡,最重要的是每天多禱告、多親近主。

2021年8月6日 星期五

應當一無掛慮,只要凡事藉著禱告、祈求,和感謝,將你們所要的告訴神。

About eight days after these sayings, He took along Peter, John, and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.

So you shall consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim a release throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family. You shall have the fiftieth year as a jubilee; you shall not sow, nor harvest its aftergrowth, nor gather grapes from its untrimmed vines. For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat its produce from the field. ‘On this year of jubilee each of you shall return to his own property.

2021年8月3日 星期二

如今常存的有信,有望,有愛這三樣,其中最大的是愛。



我若能說萬人的方言,並天使的話語,卻沒有愛,我就成了鳴的鑼,響的鈸一般。
我若有先知講道之能,也明白各樣的奧秘,各樣的知識,而且有全備的信,叫我能夠移山,卻沒有愛,我就算不得什麼。
我若將所有的賙濟窮人,又捨己身叫人焚燒,卻沒有愛,仍然與我無益。
哥林多前書 13:1-3 
》過去在北門聖教會時,我們團契羨慕其它團契有詩班,也計畫成立。成立之前,一位執事提醒我,這個詩班,應該要接納所有的團契肢體,不要去考量是否有歌唱的恩賜。我想,這是教會與外面團體最大的不同,最重要的是基督的愛,如果無法確保這樣的愛存在的事情,我們寧願不做。

如今常存的有信,有望,有愛這三樣,其中最大的是愛。
哥林多前書 13:13 

然而我也要提醒自己,基督的愛是人無法靠意志力達成的,必須時刻讓聖靈內住,也必須時刻仰望耶穌。

耶和華的聖民哪,你們要歌頌他,稱讚他可記念的聖名。
因為,他的怒氣不過是轉眼之間;他的恩典乃是一生之久。一宿雖然有哭泣,早晨便必歡呼。
詩篇 30:4-5 (和合本)
Sing praise to the Lord, you His godly ones, And praise the mention of His holiness. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning.
Psalms 30:4‭-‬5 NASB2020

「你們要謹守遵行我的誡命。我是耶和華。

把你們從埃及地領出來,作你們的神。我是耶和華。」
利未記 22:31-33 (和合本)
So you shall keep My commandments, and do them; I am the Lord. “And you shall not profane My holy name, but I will be sanctified among the sons of Israel; I am the Lord who sanctifies you, who brought you out from the land of Egypt, to be your God; I am the Lord.”
Leviticus 22:31‭-‬33 NASB2020

我在夜間的異象中觀看,見有一位像人子的,駕著天雲而來,被領到亙古常在者面前,
得了權柄、榮耀、國度,使各方、各國、各族的人都事奉他。他的權柄是永遠的,不能廢去;他的國必不敗壞。
但以理書 7:13-14 (和合本)
I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a son of man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. And to Him was given dominion, Honor, and a kingdom, So that all the peoples, nations, and populations of all languages Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed.
Daniel 7:13‭-‬14 NASB2020

這樣看來,我親愛的弟兄,你們既是常順服的,不但我在你們那裡,就是我如今不在你們那裡,更是順服的,就當恐懼戰兢做成你們得救的工夫。
因為你們立志行事都是神在你們心裡運行,為要成就他的美意。
腓立比書 2:12-13 (和合本)
So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to desire and to work for His good pleasure.
Philippians 2:12‭-‬13 NASB2020

我們各人蒙恩,都是照基督所量給各人的恩賜

身體只有一個,聖靈只有一個,正如你們蒙召同有一個指望。
以弗所書 4:4 (和合本)
我們各人蒙恩,都是照基督所量給各人的恩賜。
以弗所書 4:7 (和合本)
But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
Ephesians 4:7 NASB2020
》雖然我們每個人的處境不同、恩賜不同,我們都有一樣的指望,就是耶穌基督,因此當受同一個聖靈對每一個人的帶領,竭力追求合一。求主讓我不落入比較,這是邪魔的詭計。當相信上帝在我身上的特別計畫,為了使用我的恩賜而特別安排的,為了成就祂國度的美好計畫。

要將耶和華的名所當得的榮耀歸給他,以聖潔的(的:或作為)妝飾敬拜耶和華。
詩篇 29:2 (和合本)
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; Worship the Lord in holy attire.
Psalms 29:2 NASB2020

我的神差遣使者,封住獅子的口,叫獅子不傷我;因我在神面前無辜,我在王面前也沒有行過虧損的事。」
但以理書 6:21-22 (和合本)
Then Daniel spoke to the king, “O king, live forever! My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not harmed me, since I was found innocent before Him; and also toward you, O king, I have committed no crime.”
Daniel 6:21‭-‬22 NASB2020

現在我降旨曉諭我所統轄的全國人民,要在但以理的神面前,戰兢恐懼。因為他是永遠長存的活神,他的國永不敗壞;他的權柄永存無極!
但以理書 6:26 (和合本)
I issue a decree that in all the realm of my kingdom people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; For He is the living God and enduring forever, And His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed, And His dominion will be forever.
Daniel 6:26 NASB2020

你們要為自己栽種公義,就能收割慈愛。現今正是尋求耶和華的時候;你們要開墾荒地,等他臨到,使公義如雨降在你們身上。
何西阿書 10:12 (和合本)
Sow for yourselves, with a view to righteousness; Harvest in accordance with kindness. Break up your uncultivated ground, For it is time to seek the Lord Until He comes and rains righteousness on you.
Hosea 10:12 NASB2020

不要愛世界、和世界上的事。人若愛世界、愛父的心就不在他裡面了。因為凡世界上的事、就像肉體的情慾、眼目的情慾、並今生的驕傲、都不是從 父來的、乃是從世界來的。約壹2:15-16
Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 1 John 2:15-16

既有人的樣子、就自己卑微、存心順服、以至於死、且死在十字架上

約壹2:5 凡遵守主道的、愛上帝的心在他裡面實在是完全的、從此我們知道我們是在主裡面。 But whoever follows His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him.  1 John 2:5

腓1:25 我既然這樣深信、就知道仍要住在世間、且與你們眾人同住、使你們在所信的道上、又長進又喜樂。
Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith, Philippians 1:25

腓2:5 你們當以基督耶穌的心為心。
腓2:6 他本有上帝的形像、不以自己與上帝同等為強奪的。
腓2:7 反倒虛己、取了奴僕的形像、成為人的樣式。
腓2:8 既有人的樣子、就自己卑微、存心順服、以至於死、且死在十字架上。
腓2:9 所以上帝將他升為至高、又賜給他超乎萬名之上的名、
腓2:10 叫一切在天上的、地上的、和地底下的、因耶穌的名、無不屈膝、
腓2:11 無不口稱耶穌基督為主、使榮耀歸與父上帝。
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, as He already existed in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself by taking the form of a bond-servant and being born in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross. For this reason also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow , of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:5-11

何9:1 以色列阿、不要像外邦人歡喜快樂、因為你行邪淫離棄你的上帝、在各榖場上如妓女喜愛賞賜。Do not rejoice, Israel, with jubilation like the nations! For you have been unfaithful, abandoning your God. You have loved the earnings of unfaithfulness on every threshing floor. Hosea 9:1

但6:10 但以理知道這禁令蓋了玉璽、就到自巳家裡、(他樓上的窗戶、開向耶路撒冷) 一日三次、雙膝跪在他上帝面前、禱告感謝、與素常一樣。
但6:11 那些人就紛紛聚集、見但以理在他上帝面前祈禱懇求。
Now when Daniel learned that the document was signed, he entered his  house (and in his roof chamber he had windows open toward Jerusalem); and he continued kneeling on his knees three times a day, praying and offering praise before his God, just as he had been doing previously. Then these men came by agreement and found Daniel offering a prayer and imploring favor before his God. Daniel 6:10-11

利19:2 你曉諭以色列全會眾說、你們要聖潔、因為我耶和華你們的上帝是聖潔的。
Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy. 'Leviticus 19:2

詩28:1 〔大衛的詩。〕耶和華阿、我要求告你。我的磐石阿、不要向我緘默。倘若你向我閉口、我就如將死的人一樣。To You, Lord , I call; My rock, do not be deaf to me, For if You are silent to me, I will become like those who go down to the pit. Psalms 28:1

主日講道筆記 何建榮牧師主講

今晨靈修

申32:2 我的教訓要淋漓如雨;我的言語要滴落如露,如細雨降在嫩草上,如甘霖降在菜蔬中。
申32:3 我要宣告耶和華的名;你們要將大德歸與我們的神。
申32:4 他是磐石,他的作為完全;他所行的無不公平,是誠實無偽的神,又公義,又正直。
申32:5 這乖僻彎曲的世代向他行事邪僻;有這弊病就不是他的兒女。
>> 祂的言語是我生命成長的甘霖。願我的心思、意念,常被上帝的言語引導。也願我的根基永遠在上帝的磐石之上,行事不靠自己的私慾妄為。


講道筆記

摩西年老以智慧勸勉後輩

生命的餵養來自上帝 v1-2

主是磐石 v3-4

以色列人在曠野中容易受到敵人與野獸的攻擊,躲在磐石中、站立磐石上可避開

在磐石上也可避開天然災害,因此摩西用磐石來讓人民思想上帝的保護

在曠野中明白自己的軟弱、讓人謙卑、體會上帝的保護、學習以靠上帝


在曠野中上帝與他的子民同行

基督是靈磐石一直隨著我們(林前10:4)
供應我們、給我們保護

申32:15 但耶書崙漸漸肥胖,粗壯,光潤,踢跳,奔跑,便離棄造他的神,輕看救他的磐石;
申32:16 敬拜別神,觸動神的憤恨,行可憎惡的事,惹了他的怒氣。

耶書崙(Jeshurun)以色列的別名。希伯來原文字根解作「正直」

申32:4 他是磐石,他的作為完全;他所行的無不公平,是誠實無偽的神,又公義,又正直。
申32:5 這乖僻彎曲的世代向他行事邪僻;有這弊病就不是他的兒女。
申32:6 愚昧無知的民哪,你們這樣報答耶和華嗎﹖他豈不是你的父、將你買來的嗎﹖他是製造你、建立你的。

這世代有太多的拉扯讓我們遠離神

申32:7 你當追想上古之日,思念歷代之年;問你的父親,他必指示你;問你的長者,他必告訴你。

口述歷史 父母傳講上帝的恩典給子女

箴22:6 教養孩童,使他走當行的道,就是到老他也不偏離。

你我都在寫信仰的故事,讓人看到我們如何靠主出埃及

結論:神是我唯一的依靠,是堅固的磐石
