当我把人的需要放在神前面时,我便是撒但。靠自己的意志力,又如何能跳出困境呢?耶稣内住的生命,是我唯一的出路。只有靠里面的新生命,才能蒙神喜悦。 When I put people’s need before God’s. I am Satan. By my own will, how can I jump out of the box? The new life Jesus put inside of me is the solution. By the new life, I can please God. 耶稣转过来,看着门徒,就责备彼得说:「撒但,退我后边去吧!因为你不体贴神的意思,只体贴人的意思。」 马可福音 8:33 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, […]
你知道自己是瞎眼的吗?
人是易于摔跤,堕落和有限的。因此,我们的神学,我们的圣经教导和我们的祷告等等,存在虚假和不完美。 有限的人又如何能把握无限的神的意思呢?我们每时每刻都需要上帝的指导。与上帝相比,我们是瞎眼的。 Humanity is fallible,fallen and finite. Thus our theologies, our Bible teachings and our prayers,etc. contain falsehoods and imperfections. How can finite grasp the meaning of infinite totally? We need guide from God moment by moment. Compared to God we are blind. – reflecting on Modern Psychotherapies P49 S.L.Jones,R.E. Butmsn
赐象芥菜种一样小的信心
谢主今晨提醒,求祢赐信心,赐象芥菜种一样小的信心, 我明白1012冬令营会上。《献给无名传道者》的作者边云波握手对我说【神祝福你】时,你的祝福借着他,会如此强烈的临到我,因为老弟兄的信。求祢把信雕刻在我心上。让我可以祝福自己和家人,以及我身边的每一位。 Thank you for your reminder in the early morning. Please give me faith even as small as mustard seed. At the 2012 winter camp, the author of the “To the Anonymous Preachers” held my hand and blessed me. Your blessings came to me so strong because of the brother’s faith. Please put faith […]
郑州的拆,纽约的拆
新的Lyric歌剧院是百老汇第二大剧院,可容纳1930人,于1998年建成使用。新的歌剧院融入了1903年建成的旧Lyric 和 1920年建成的Apollo 剧院的主要建筑部件。新剧院的圆顶来自旧的Lyric; 舞台前的拱门来自Apollo,外部在第43和第42街,融入了华丽的旧Lyric歌剧院的立面装饰。 旧的Lyric 和Apollo剧院在1990年被纽约政府收购,当时两个剧院状况不佳。1996被拆毁时,所有主要建筑物件都被小心地拆除和存放。 新的Lyric歌剧院,是经典和现代的融合,豪华大气。优雅不俗。同是拆,郑州的拆让人心痛,纽约的拆让人赞叹。 Lyric Theater is the second largest theater in Broadway, and it can accommodate 1930 people. It opened in 1998. The new Lyric Theater was built by incorporating all the major parts of the old Lyric, built in 1903 and Apollo theater, built in 1920. The dome of […]
尼布甲尼撒王知道我们的神
从纽约大都会博物馆关于尼布甲尼撒的陈品,可以看到巴比伦的辉煌。他威武霸气,势不可挡。王却求问但以理,因为神的灵在他里面。 需要清晨安静主前,聆听里面圣灵的声音,预备好自己,走一天的路。 The display about Nebuchadnezzar in New York Metropolitan Shows the glory of Babylon. The king is domineering, unstoppable. But the king inquired of Daniel, because the Spirit of God was in him. I need to be quiet before God in the morning to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit, to get […]
从母腹分我归祢
祢不是偶然遇我。祢从母腹分我归祢,过往的经历,感到你手的带领,应许的信实,不变的爱。祢的祝福必永不离我以及我的家。 You are not randomly encountered me. You created me to be your own before I was born. Looking back, your leading hand; faithful promise; unchangeable love are with me all the time. Your blessing will be with me and my family forever. 我未将你造在腹中,我已晓得你; 你未出母胎,我已分别你为圣; 我已派你作列国的先知。 耶利米书 1:5 Before I formed you in the […]
需要一颗新心
借着信,神赐一颗新心。当我听从新心,可以活出新生命。当我听从旧心,就又回到旧的牢笼。 求神帮助,让我新心完全取代旧心,活出荣美。 By faith, God gave me a new heart. When I listen to the new heart, I can live a new life. When I listen to the old heart, I got boxed back into the old cage. May God help me, let my new heart completely replace the old one, so that I can […]
你会退而求其次吗?
让神的话语浇灌我心,使我生命发芽结实,从而有最美人生。 祂的意念,祂的道路,乃祝福之源。为什么会退而求其次呢? Let the words of God water my heart, so that I can bud and flourish; and have the most meaningful and beautiful life. His thoughts and His way is the source of blessing. Why ignore it to chase the second best? 天怎样高过地,照样,我的道路高过你们的道路; 我的意念高过你们的意念。雨雪从天而降,并不返回,却滋润地土,使地上发芽结实,使撒种的有种,使要吃的有粮。我口所出的话也必如此,决不徒然返回,却要成就我所喜悦的,在我发他去成就的事上必然亨通。 以赛亚书 55:9-11 As the heavens are higher than the […]
神的百合花
神给的是不可取代的爱,独一无二的爱。体会祂爱的眼神,享受祂温暖的膀臂,感动祂舍己的拯救。依靠祂牵手的带领, 主啊,有祢真好! God gives the irreplaceable, unique love. Warmed by His loving eyes; enjoying his warm arms; touched by His sacrificed delivery; Counting on his leading hand. Lord, its good to have you! 我的佳偶在女子中, 好像百合花在荆棘内。 我的良人在男子中, 如同苹果树在树林中。 雅歌 2:2-3 Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the young women. Like an apple […]
人生好空
喜欢泰戈尔的:生如夏花之绚烂,死如秋叶之静美。我想登最高的山,看最美的景,然后静静的死去,毫无遗憾的离去。 好空,一切好空。 没神,人生好空。 Tagore said:Living likes the summer flowers. Dying ikes the autumn leaves. Striving to climb the highest mountain and then faded away without regrets. Emptiness,utterly emptiness. Without God, life is so meaningless. 已有的事后必再有;已行的事后必再行。 日光之下并无新事。-/ 传道书 1:9 我见日光之下所做的一切事,都是虚空,都是捕风。– 传道书 1:14 What has been will be again, what has been done will be […]
