Alone With God
He had sat alone with His disciples and meditated. Looking upward, He waited until the whole hiatus of divine life moved down from the throne of God into His own soul. He was a violin tuned. He was a battery recharged. He was poised and prepared for the people when they came.
Crucified Life
For years, maybe, you have tried fruitlessly to exercise control over yourself, and perhaps this is still your experience; but when once you see the truth you will recognize that you are indeed powerless to do anything, but that in setting you aside altogether God has done it all. Such discovery brings human striving and self-effort to an end (The Normal Christian Life, pp. 35-37).
I Have Labored In Vain
Christ came into the world to fulfill the will of God by reviving Israel. And he did just as he was commanded. But Israel rejected him: He came unto his own, and his own received him not (John 1:11).
落在忿怒之神手中的罪人
他們常有沉淪的危險,像一個在滑地上行走的人,常常有跌倒的危險一樣。他們的沉淪,是用失腳來表明。《詩篇》七十三首18,19節也說:『禰實在把他們安在滑地,使他們掉在沉淪之中。』
當下教會中有先知嗎?
無論何時,一個人宣稱要為上帝而說話(預言的本質),關鍵是要比較他所說的話和聖經中所記載的內容。 假若現在上帝要藉著一個人的口說話,那麼這個信息將會和上帝在聖經中已經說過的話完全一致。 神不會自相矛盾。
不要把網路福音變成垃圾訊息
無禮的福音訊息變成討人厭的手機叮咚與震動,慈愛的分享變成眾人封鎖的對象。主工不是興之所至便可以啟動的事,尤其是「一鍵萬民」:一個鍵分享主內訊息使萬民成為門徒,是無論如何打不出來的如意算盤。以網路進行宣教,在基本認知不健全的前提下,只會帶來各種反效果而不只是副作用。
七山訓令是什麼?合乎聖經嗎?
七山訓令的神學論述是危險的,給基督徒極大的負擔:主何時再臨由你們負責,每一個領域都應發揮最大的影響力,主才會再來,沒有明確定義的終點。他們幾乎不提:因信稱義,白白得來的恩典,耶穌基督的救贖,這樣的福音真義。取而代之的是『人』的宣告與掌權。七山訓令是由假先知主導的活動,任何以聖經為依據的基督徒,都應該明辨而遠避之。
成功神學的銷售模式,850+美元的福音
我們買不到永生,就算買了全場最貴的那張9908美金的票。 很多朋友喜歡 Joel Osteen 的講道。他在正面積極自我開發方面,是當代頂尖高手。他在講道裡鼓勵會眾們想要什麼就努力地向上帝求,不斷地宣告,因為上帝愛你,終究會賜給你。但聖經不是這樣教的。
