不让 神的名受亵渎

神的名在外邦人中，因你们受了亵渎，正如经上所记的（罗马书2:24）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，我们是否认识到：非信徒在看着我们（基督徒）和我们的行为。上帝希望非信徒们看到我们的好行为，从而吸引他们归回祂的国度。但是，当我们违背上帝而作出愚昧的言行时，对非信徒的影响就是相反的。

Rom 2:24 - For "the name of GOD is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," as it is written.

Dear Brothers n Sisters,

Whether we realize it or not, unbelievers are watching both us and our conduct. GOD intends for what they see to attract them into HIS kingdom, but when we disobey the LORD and act foolishly, the opposite often happens.

决不妥协

我们若说是与 神相交，却仍在黑暗里行，就是说谎话，不行真理了（约翰一书1:6）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，约翰，是爱的使徒，在基督徒的道路中，他坚定地持守真道决不妥协。他说：“服从上帝是必须的、是不可选择的，那些习惯性违背上帝的人，就是不认识上帝。”

1 John 1:6 "If we say that we have fellowship with HIM (GOD), and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

John, "the apostle of love," tends to be very uncompromising in his perspective on the Christian walk. Obedience to GOD is necessary, he says, not optional; and those who habitually disobey do not know GOD.

sky5107

遵守上帝的命令

我们若遵守祂的诫命，就晓得是认识祂（约翰一书2:3）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，撒旦也认识上帝，但是他不服从上帝的话！而当我们不服从上帝的话时，我们就是在跟从撒旦的脚步。

当我们靠着圣灵的大能来服从上帝时，不仅能够被上帝喜悦，还能使我们与上帝更加亲近，而且在我们的心里能够建立起信心，坚信我们的确是属于上帝。

1 John 2:3 Now by this we know that we know HIM, if we keep HIS commandments.

Dear Brothers n Sisters,

Satan also knows GOD, but he disobeyed GOD's WORD! When we disobey GOD's WORD, we are following Satan's footsteps.

When we obey GOD by the power of HIS SPIRIT, we not only please GOD and make it possible for us to enjoy close fellowship with HIM, we also build confidence in our hearts that we truly belong to HIM.

从上帝的话语中获得祂的应许

“ 神的国，如同人把种撒在地上”（马可福音4:26）  

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，主耶稣用播种和收割来比喻上帝的国，我们都明白这个简单的概念。那么，为什么我们不能在每个季节产出丰盛的庄稼？因为我们是坐在那里，等着上帝做所有的工作。

上帝不是以你要的方式而运作，祂要与你同工，但祂不会单独做完全部工作。如果你想在收割的时候能够收获庄稼，那么有些基本的工作，必须要你靠着信心去做。

首先，你必须靠着信心种下上帝话语的种子，并期盼它生长起来。你必须从上帝的话语里来获得上帝宝贵的应许，并将它种在你的心和你的生命里。

其次，你必须浇灌种子。你要每天用赞美上帝的话语来浇灌它，用上帝话语的生命之水来浇灌。上帝的话语涵盖生命，所以没有上帝话语的承诺，那些种子无法生长。

最后，你要坚持铲除野草。当那些不宽恕、怀疑、恐惧、气馁的野草设法进入你的庄稼（魔鬼设法把所有的垃圾都种在你的庄稼里）时，你要果断地除掉它，是用上帝的话语来除灭它。

你要殷勤做好你分内的工作，因为没有任何人会替你做。你必须要在你自己的庄稼里清除野草，并要坚持不懈地这样做。当一棵野草发苗时，铲除它，不要有片刻犹豫，连根拔掉它，用上帝的话语来除灭它。当你能够拥有最好的庄稼（来自上帝）时，不要受到诱惑而让野草存活下去。

不要坐在那里，等着上帝替你产出你的庄稼，你要开始播种，开始照管你的庄稼地（你的心和意念）保持滋润，用上帝永活而神圣的话语来浇灌它、来除灭野草。

做好你分内的工作，并相信上帝会做好祂的工作，那么你将会在这个季节收获丰盛。

研经：以弗所4:22-32

4:22 就要脱去你们从前行为上的旧人，这旧人是因私欲的迷惑渐渐变坏的。  

4:23 又要将你们的心志改换一新，  

4:24 并且穿上新人，这新人是照着 神的形像造的，有真理的仁义和圣洁。  

4:25 所以你们要弃绝谎言，各人与邻舍说实话，因为我们是互相为肢体。  

4:26 生气却不要犯罪，不可含怒到日落，

4:27 也不可给魔鬼留地步。  

4:28 从前偷窃的，不要再偷，总要劳力，亲手作正经事，就可有余分给那缺少的人。  

4:29 污秽的言语一句不可出口，只要随事说造就人的好话，叫听见的人得益处。  

4:30 不要叫 神的圣灵担忧，你们原是受了祂的印记，等候得赎的日子来到。  

4:31 一切苦毒、恼恨、忿怒、嚷闹、毁谤、并一切的恶毒都当从你们中间除掉，

4:32 并要以恩慈相待，存怜悯的心，彼此饶恕，正如 神在基督里饶恕了你们一样。

  

在此，我们夫妻感谢上帝，我们主耶稣基督的父，赐给我们美好的一天，也赐给我们你们这些忠心于主的弟兄姊妹们。

Find precious promises from GOD in HIS WORD

"So is the kingdom of GOD, as if a man should cast seed into the ground."(Mark 4:26)

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

JESUS compared the kingdom of GOD with the planting of seed and reaping the harvest. It's a simple concept. One all of us understand. Why, then, aren't all of us producing bumper crops every season? Because we're sitting around waiting for GOD to do all the work.

HE doesn't operate that way. HE will work with you, but HE won't do it all. There are some essential things you must do by faith if you want to have a crop to reap at harvest time.

First, you must sow the seed of the WORD in faith, expecting it to grow. You must find precious promises from GOD in HIS WORD, plant them in your heart and in your life.

Next, you must water the seed. Water it every day with praise. Water it with the spiritual water of the WORD. That WORD contains life and those seed promises can't grow without it.

And finally, you have to keep the weeds out! When the weeds of un-forgiveness, doubt, fear, discouragement, (and all the other junk the devil tries to sow into your crop) try to enter in, get rid of them. They'll choke the WORD.

That's going to take some diligence on your part. No one else will do it for you. You're going to have to weed your own crop yourself. So get tough about it. When a little weed pops up, kill it! Don't hang on to it for even a moment. Pull it up by its roots. Spray it with the WORD. Don't be tempted to keep a wildflower when you can have the best--GOD's best.

Don't sit around waiting for GOD to produce your harvest. Start planting. Start watching over your land (your heart and your mind) to keep it moist, watered with the living and holy WORD of GOD, and free from weeds.

Commit to do your part and trust GOD to do HIS. You will have a bumper crop this season!

Scripture Study:  

Ephesians 4:22-32

22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like GOD in true righteousness and holiness.

25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26 “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold. 28 Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.

29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in CHRIST GOD forgave you.

We give thanks to GOD, the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, for this day and for you, faithful brothers and sisters.

归回正道

我小子们哪，我将这些话写给你们，是要叫你们不犯罪。若有人犯罪，在父那里我们有一位中保，就是那义者耶稣基督（约翰一书2:1）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，没有一个神圣的命令是让我们去犯罪。当我们倚靠住在我们里面的圣灵，就可以不去犯罪（我说你们当顺着圣灵而行，就不放纵肉体的情欲了---加拉太5:16）。当我们偶尔因依赖自己而犯了罪、尔后我们悔改并远离罪恶时，主耶稣就会帮助我们归回正道。

1 John 2:1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the FATHER - JESUS CHRIST, the RIGHTEOUS ONE.

Dear Brothers n Sisters,

There is no divine commandment to sin. Therefore, when we rely on the indwelling SPIRIT, we do not have to sin (Gal 5:16 - So I say, walk by the SPIRIT, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.) Yet when we do occasionally sin by relying on ourselves, JESUS helps us get back on track when we repent and turn away from sin.

保罗的远见和他的刺

又恐怕我因所得的启示甚大，就过于自高，所以有一根刺加在我肉体上，就是撒但的差役要攻击我，免得我过于自高（哥林多后书12:7）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，多年来，魔鬼利用保罗肉体上的刺（保罗经受的一切灾难）的传统教导，来说服信徒们放弃上帝的祝福。从疾病到犯罪，他设法让我们相信，每个灾难都是出于上帝，我们可以坦然地接受这些灾难。

这个传统教导在今天，可能是存在于基督肢体中，最有毁灭性和最普遍被接受的误解经文。当我传道给一些信徒时，发现他们几乎对上帝的话语没有任何知识，但是不知何故，他们却被教导保罗的刺（保罗经受的一切灾难）是来自上帝。

他们大多数人被误导了。传统教导说，是上帝给了保罗肉体上的刺（保罗经受的一切灾难），而且他们还把刺弄得非常神秘。但是，经文里根本没有说到这些。

经文只是说刺（保罗经受的一切灾难）是出于撒旦的差役，却不是上帝的作为。而保罗也非常确切地讲，这个刺（经受的一切灾难）是来自撒旦的差役。

你知道，保罗去各地传讲福音，每当他传道，就会对撒旦的国有更大地破坏。所以，撒旦差遣他的差役，就是邪灵，来阻止保罗。

当保罗为这个刺（经受的灾难）而求上帝时（看哥林多后书12:8-10），上帝没有予以否定地回应，而是说：“我的恩典（或我的赐予）够你用的，因为我的能力是在人的软弱（没有解决的能力）上显得完全。”

换句话说，当保罗以人的力量不足以战胜魔鬼时，上帝神奇作为的大能对保罗已经足够用了。尽管保罗软弱，但上帝的大能能够使保罗作一个得胜者。

不要允许魔鬼说服你放弃你的胜利，你要把传统教导抛在一边，勇于相信上帝的话语。正如使徒保罗一样，打好信心之战，那么你就会看到上帝对你的拯救。

研经：哥林多后书12:1-10

12:1 我自夸固然无益，但我是不得已的，如今我要说到主的显现和启示。  

12:2 我认得一个在基督里的人，他前十四年被提到第三层天上去，或在身内，我不知道；或在身外，我也不知道，只有 神知道。  

12:3 我认得这人，或在身内、或在身外，我都不知道，只有 神知道。  

12:4 他被提到乐园里，听见隐秘的言语，是人不可说的。  

12:5 为这人，我要夸口。但是为我自己，除了我的软弱以外，我并不夸口。  

12:6 我就是愿意夸口，也不算狂，因为我必说实话。只是我禁止不说，恐怕有人把我看高了，过于他在我身上所看见所听见的。  

12:7 又恐怕我因所得的启示甚大，就过于自高，所以有一根刺加在我肉体上，就是撒但的差役要攻击我，免得我过于自高。  

12:8 为这事，我三次求过主，叫这刺离开我。  

12:9 祂对我说：“我的恩典够你用的，因为我的能力是在人的软弱上显得完全。”所以我更喜欢夸自己的软弱，好叫基督的能力覆庇我。  

12:10 我为基督的缘故，就以软弱、凌辱、急难、逼迫、困苦，为可喜乐的。因我甚么时候软弱，甚么时候就刚强了。

在此，我们夫妻感谢上帝，我们主耶稣基督的父，赐给我们美好的一天，也赐给我们你们这些忠心于主的弟兄姊妹们。

Vision of Paul and His Thorn

"And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me."(2 Corinthians 12:7)

  

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The devil has used the traditional teaching of Paul's thorn in the flesh to talk believers out of the blessings of GOD for years, to try to convince us to settle for everything from sickness to sin--and to do it of our own free will.

It is perhaps the most destructive and the most widely accepted misinterpretation of Scripture that exists in the Body of CHRIST today. I've preach to people who hardly had any knowledge of the WORD at all and still I have found that somehow they'd been taught about Paul's thorn.

And most of them have been taught wrongly.

Tradition says that GOD gave Paul the thorn in the flesh. What's more, tradition makes the thorn into some great mystery. But the Scripture doesn't say that at all!

It says that the thorn in the flesh was a messenger of Satan. Not GOD! The thorn was quite literally just what Paul says it was--a "messenger sent from Satan."

You see, everywhere Paul went, he preached the gospel and every time he preached, he destroyed a little more of Satan's kingdom. So, Satan sent a messenger, an evil spirit, to stop him.

When Paul sought the LORD concerning this thorn (look at 2 Corinthians 12:8-10), GOD didn't answer Paul in the negative. GOD said, "MY grace (or, MY favor) is enough. It is sufficient for you. For MY strength is made perfect in your weakness (inability to produce results)" ).

In other words, when Paul didn't have enough human strength to overcome, GOD's miracle-working power was sufficient for him. It enabled him to be an overcomer in spite of his weakness.

Don't allow the devil to talk you out of your victory. Throw tradition aside and dare to believe the WORD of GOD. Fight the fight of faith, and just like the Apostle Paul, you will see the salvation of the LORD!

Scripture Study:

2 Corinthians 12:1-10

Vision of Paul and His Thorn

12 I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the LORD. 2 I know a man in CHRIST who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—GOD knows. 3 And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but GOD knows— 4 was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell. 5 I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses. 6 Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say, 7 or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the LORD to take it away from me. 9 But HE said to me, “MY grace is sufficient for you, for MY power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that CHRIST’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for CHRIST’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

We give thanks to GOD, the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, for this day and for you, faithful brothers and sisters.

什么是爱

我们若按照祂的命令、律例、法则、教训来生活行事，这就是爱。你们将起初所听见的，要继续以爱心遵从而行，就是这命令（约翰二书1:6）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，简单地讲，上帝说爱祂就是谨守遵行祂的命令【约翰福音14:21有了我的命令又遵守的，这人就是爱我的。爱我的必蒙我父爱他，我也要爱他，并且要向他显现；约翰福音15:10你们若遵守我的命令，就常在我的爱里，正如我遵守了我父的命令，常在祂的爱里】。这就使爱由模糊不清，变得清楚明确。但是，上帝所做的远远超越了祂给我们的爱的定义，并且祂给了你指示，使你能够懂得怎样像祂那样地爱。上帝赐给你祂的话语，是用白纸黑字赐给你祂爱的指南（圣经）。而你所需要做的，就是以爱心遵从而行。

如果你让耶稣基督作为你的生命之主，并服从祂所吩咐你的一切，那么你已经迈出与上帝联合的第一步。上帝的爱已经生存在你里面，但是除非你选择迈出发展爱的一步，否则这爱在你里面是保持隐蔽的，并且是无效的。爱与信心力量的运作大致相同（雅各2:26身体没有灵魂是死的，信心没有行为也是死的），像信心一样，爱是通过知识和服从上帝的话语才成为有效的（有行动的爱）。

就在今天，通过认罪并行出上帝的话语来使你里面的爱成为有效的爱（有行动的爱），那么当你默想这些经文时，就会看到自己活在爱的生命里，就会看到自己是靠着耶稣命令的带领而谨守遵行。让上帝所教导你的爱，在你里面发展起来。

研经：约翰一书2:3-11

2:3 我们若遵守祂的诫命，就晓得是认识祂。  

2:4 人若说我认识祂，却不遵守祂的诫命，便是说谎话的，真理也不在他心里了。  

2:5 凡遵守主道的，爱 神的心在他里面实在是完全的，从此我们知道我们是在主里面。  

2:6 人若说他住在主里面，就该自己照主所行的去行。  

2:7 亲爱的弟兄阿，我写给你们的不是一条新命令，乃是你们从起初所受的旧命令，这旧命令就是你们所听见的道。  

2:8 再者，我写给你们的是一条新命令，在主是真的，在你们也是真的。因为黑暗渐渐过去，真光已经照耀。  

2:9 人若说自己在光明中，却恨他的弟兄，他到如今还是在黑暗里。  

2:10 爱弟兄的就是住在光明中，在他并没有绊跌的缘由。  

2:11 惟独恨弟兄的是在黑暗里，且在黑暗里行，也不知道往那里去，因为黑暗叫他眼睛瞎了。  

在此，我们夫妻感谢上帝，我们主耶稣基督的父，赐给我们美好的一天，也赐给我们你们这些忠心于主的弟兄姊妹们。

What is Love

"And what this love consists in is this, that we live and walk in accordance with and guided by HIS commandments HIS orders, ordinances, precepts, teaching. This is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you continue to walk in love guided by it and following it." (2 John 1:6)

Dear Brothers and Sisters

Quite simply, GOD says love is keeping HIS commandments [John 14:21 whoever has MY commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves ME. He who loves ME will be loved by MY FATHER, and I too will love him and show MYSELF to him. ; John 15:10 if you obey MY commands, you will remain in MY love, just as I have obeyed MY FATHER's commands and remain in HIS love]. That brings love out of the indefinite into something explicit. But GOD has done more than define love for you. HE's given you instructions so that you can know how to love as HE loves. By giving you HIS WORD, GOD has given you HIS love manual in black and white(Bible). All you have to do is follow it and you'll be walking in love.

If you've made JESUS CHRIST the LORD of your life, and obey all that HE have commanded you you've already taken the first step of union with GOD. The love of GOD has been born within you. But, unless you choose to take steps to develop it that love will remain hidden and useless within you. Love works in much the same way as the force of faith (James 2:26 as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.). Like faith, love becomes active through knowledge and obedience of the WORD of GOD.

Become love conscious by confessing and acting on GOD's WORD today. As you meditate these scriptures, see yourself living the love life. See yourself walking in accordance with and guided by the commandments of JESUS. Develop the love HE has taught you.

Scripture Study:

1 John 2:3-11 (NIV)

3 We know that we have come to know HIM if we keep HIS commands. 4 Whoever says, “I know HIM,” but does not do what HE commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 5 But if anyone obeys HIS WORD, love for GOD is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in HIM: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as JESUS did.

7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard. 8 Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in HIM and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.

9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. 10 Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. 11 But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.

We give thanks to GOD, the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, for this day and for you, faithful brothers and sisters.
