草戊尚土 牧師和各位俱樂部的兄姐,平安:

苦難,最怕的是失去盼望,有個故事是這樣說的:有人看到一個瘸子,問他是不是會感到痛苦,他回答那人說:跛腳並不痛苦,痛苦的是跛腳卻沒有拐杖。

在今天的經文裡,耶利米雖然對於同胞的遭遇感到十分痛苦,但是他仍然仰望耶和華,想念主的恩典,心裡就有指望,心裡想著:『耶和華是我的分,因此,我要仰望他。凡等候耶和華,心裡尋求他的,耶和華必施恩給他。』

但願主憐憫仍在苦難中的人,讓他們不要看到自己失去的,讓他們感謝目前擁有的,對於未來仍充滿盼望,每個早晨都是嶄新的一天。

大家平安

「活人因自己的罪受罰,為何發怨言呢?我們當深深考察自己的行為,再歸向耶和華。我們當誠心向天上的神舉手禱告。」3:39-41

當遭遇苦難的時候,應當先省察自己在何處得罪神,悔改、懇求主的赦免與搭救。若實在想不出來,聖靈也沒有責備我們的意思,那就以此自勉:「人在幼年負軛,這原是好的。他當獨坐無言,因為這是耶和華加在他身上的。」3:27-28

不過,這些是要用在自己身上,而不是急促地去要求在苦難中的人悔改。不僅有失憐憫,可能反而加重了對方身上的軛。

耶利米在自己和民族的苦難中:「我想起這事,心裡就有指望。我們不致消滅,是出於耶和華諸般的慈愛;是因他的憐憫不致斷絕。每早晨,這都是新的;你的誠實極其廣大!我心裡說:耶和華是我的分,因此,我要仰望他。凡等候耶和華,心裡尋求他的,耶和華必施恩給他。」3:21-25

求神幫助我,"太平時期"就在心中囤積上帝的應許,好讓我在遭遇人生波折、動亂的時候,拿出來運用,那是任何人或事所奪不去的平安與盼望!阿們!

草戊尚土 牧師和各位俱樂部的兄姐,平安:

『耶和華啊,這要到幾時呢?你要將自己隱藏到永遠嗎?』

我想,當一個基督徒開始對神失去信心時,大概也會埋怨神,為什麼禱告還未能看到神的恩典,為什麼上帝還沒有出現呢?仇敵正在歡喜,鄰邦也來羞辱我,上帝啊,您的慈愛還在嗎?

或許,每個基督徒都會經歷屬靈上的死蔭幽谷,但是在今天的經文裡,上帝仍給我們應許:『只是我必不將我的慈愛全然收回,也必不叫我的信實廢棄。』

但願主憐憫我,當我感受不到您的慈愛時,仍給我盼望,讓我明白您的教導,再次抱住您的應許,安靜等待您的降臨。

"Let him sit alone in silence, for the Lord has laid it on him. Let him bury his face in the dust—there may yet be hope. Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him, and let him be filled with disgrace"(La 3:28-30).

"Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord. Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven, and say: 'We have sinned and rebelled and you have not forgiven'" (40-42).

The Lord would like us to contemplate what we really want, to humble ourselves, to overcome our weak spots, and to live with confidence and patience. He has prepared for us short-term and long-term lessons. Am I following Him?

God made special promises to David (2Sa 7:12-17). The important promise is that someone from David's family would always be king. Ethan wrote Psalm 89 many years after this. He called it a maskil, a psalm that teaches us something.

In the psalm, Ethan sang about a problem. God had promised that there would always be a king in David's family. He lamented the defeat of the Davidic king, to whom God promised kingship as enduring as the heavens (Ps 89:2-5).

Since the defeat of the king called into question God's promise, Ethan ardently prayed God to be faithful to the original promise to David (Ps 89:39-52).

草戊尚土 牧師和各位俱樂部的兄姐,平安:

一個先知會想要尋死,這實在是很令人感到惋惜,難道在身心俱疲時他仍然得不到信仰上的安慰嗎?我想人真的還是人,即使是能與神對話的先知,他還是人,人遇到挫折會心裡總有許多聲音,如同大風大雨打亂所有的思緒,不知如何來走出死蔭幽谷。這裡的經文提醒我們,這時可能不是去參加特會或是接受輔導,而是要讓自己得到身心靈上完全的休息,等候神,神是信實的,必不叫你們受試探過於所能受的;在受試探的時候,總要給你們開一條出路,叫你們能忍受得住。

但願主憐憫我,當我開始想逃避時能幫助我,引導我走您的道路,在疾風烈火中能安靜的等候您,明白您那微小的聲音,順服您的旨意。

今天回來讀這段經文,剛好發生一件新聞,便是西藏精神領袖達賴喇嘛來台灣為災民祈福,這原本是出自善意,但是一旦有人想趁此機會來作政治文章,這件事情就變成有點偏離主題,甚至重點都不放在誠心向天祈福,而放在地上的哪些人應該被批鬥。

不同的宗教可以對話嗎?單國璽和達賴喇嘛堅持各自不同的信仰卻對於人類的良知與愛心有同樣的期盼,其實我覺得不同宗教是需要被尊重的,但是前提是這裡的宗教是以人的良善與愛為出發,而非挑起彼此的仇恨或是尋求個人的私慾。

have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword.

Despair hinders many a good enterprise. God posed a very striking question: What are you doing here, Elijah? If Elijah is eager to meet with God, he shall find that God will meet him. The wind, and earthquake, and fire, did not make him cover his face, but the still voice did

以利亞似乎有些burn-out,與前一刻的勇猛相差甚遠,令人感動的是,神允許以利亞休息、說心裡的話,又餵養他,等他體力恢復了,再讓他明白其實自己不是孤軍奮戰,至少七千人有著和以利亞一樣的心志。更賞賜給他一個好的門徒-以利沙。

神幾度問他說:「以利亞啊,你在這裡做甚麼?」以利亞的回答也都一樣,我腦中浮現拳擊教練在比賽中間對選手的鼓勵,讓選手休息的同時,對他信心喊話。

想像以利亞有氣無力、略帶哀怨地說:「我為耶和華─萬軍之神大發熱心...」,然後轉變(中間有些過程)為大聲喊:「我為耶和華─萬軍之神大發熱心...」。哈利路亞!以利亞再度出發!

What Stephan said was similar to what Jesus revealed to people, "In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven"(Ma 26:64; Mr 14:62; Lu 22:69).

Non-believers in the Lord might not stone us if we want to testify the existence of Him; yet they would say they don't want to listen to any truth. Stephen, the martyr, impressed Saul with his courage. He defended not for himself but for gospel, whose act was indeed awe-inspiring.

他用亞伯拉罕、摩西的故事﹐希望眾人思想神的大能。司提反對眾人有所盼望﹐悲憐的求主不要歸罪給他們﹐同時也希望如果無法使眾人回心轉意﹐上帝也能接受他的靈魂。

謝謝 JBC 姐的分享,除了末了的異象,我覺得次末了的那句:『你們受了天使所傳的律法,竟不遵守。』可能也是重點。那些祭司和會眾都熟讀摩西的歷史和耶和華所定的律法,也自認是上帝揀選的子民,但是仍任憑己意而行,甚至將耶穌釘死在十字架上,他們無法去悔改認罪,反而摀住耳朵拒絕真理,或許這也是在提醒我們要隨時警醒,不然一旦陷入世界的枷鎖也會做出違背上帝的事情。

Dear all, Peng An,
Here we had a slim glimpse of the transformation of Jesus' physical family members.
They didn't claim their special status as the physical family members of Jesus Christ. They joined the around 120 people prayer meeting, to wait for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, to wait for the sending to preach the gospel to the end of the world.
Here we saw the realization of Jesus' prediction a while ago,
" All who obeyed my Father's Will were my brothers and sisters and my mother." ( Mt.12:50). All believers would become the family members of Jesus Christ, and all family members of Jesus Christ had also become the believers of Jesus Christ.

Dear all, Peng An,
King Asa had a very good start as a king, who followed the steps of king David. He destroyed the idols, had integrity before God, and offered golden utencils to the temple.
Unfortunately later on, when facing attacks from northern kingdom, he asked the help of Syrian king Ben-Hadad, instead of asking God's help. When prophet Hanani warned him, he refused to listen, even put the prophet into prison. He also abused his people, and when he suffered from some leg disease, he didn't ask for God's healing. ( 2 Chr. 16:7-13)
King Asa was like king Solomon, who started very well, but unfortunately finished not so well.

For me, the three consecutive psalms looked like a trilogy of historical psalms. The first one traced the past redemption Israel experienced in the historical memory of exodus. The second one reflected upon their history of injustice against the poor and the marginalized people.

It seemed to me God would treat the priest as most important or serious as representing the whole group of people. Then the leaders, then the ordinary people.

Dear all, Peng An,
Reading your sharing helps me to discover that I miscalculated the number of appearance Jesus made in this section of the bible.
Actually Jesus appeared four times. The first time He appeared to Mary Magdalene, who loved Jesus the most and lingered at the tomb the longest. Then Jesus sent Mary to tell His disciples about the good news of His resurrection. Then Jesus appeared to the fearful disciples to strenghten their faith of His resurrection. Then Jesus sent His disciples to spread the gospel. The third time Jesus appeared especially for the absent and doubtful Thomas, to reconfirm his faith on Jesus' resurrection. The fourth time, Jesus appeared to desciples who fished all night to no avail. But the main purpose was to revive Peter's faith and conviction so that Jesus could entrust him with the leadership to start the church after Jesus' ascension.

Sometimes God would reveal His Will to us through his servants. But sometimes we would be led astray by them. This was a tough lesson for all of us to learn, how to discern between the two.

Dear all, Peng An,
It seemed to me that both burnt offering and grain offereing were sweet savor offering to be burnt on the altar.
The burnt offering was from animal without blemish, and would be totally burned after being skinned. The grain offering would be only a small part burned, all leftovers would be consumed by the priest.
There would be nothing to be added upon the animal burnt offering. But the grain offering would need to have oil, frankincense and salt added on before burning. Yeast and honey were not allowed to be mixed with the grain offering.
So I thought there might be some identical theological significance of both the animal burnt offering and the grain offering, as both were sweet savor offering to be burnt on the alter, to be offered to God. 完全無瑕疵 一切全奉獻
As for the kinds of animal that could be used for burnt offering, we saw that God would allow different kinds of animals, from cow to pigeon, according to the worshipper's financial ability.
As for grain offering, God only demand a small part of it being burned as a token or symbol, to be offered to God. All the rest would be consumed by the priest. We saw God's treating his servants with loving tender care...

Dear all, Peng An,
Welcome Yuze to join us again. If I was Pilate, I might be unable to perform better than him.
Facing truth would need lots of courage and wisdom, especially when your personal interest and security was on jeopardy.
May the Lord help me to have enough wisdom and courage to stand up for the truth and to make right decision.

Dear all, Peng An,
Both Rehoboam and Jeroboam tried to handle their insecurity by using their own tactics without asking for God's guidance.
Young Rehoboam tried to assert his authority by refusing to listen to the petition of his people, and rebelious Jeroboam tried to grab his authority by refusing to respect the worship system.

Dear all, Peng An,
God's sovereignty was a mysterious topic. According to Paul's theology, recorded in Rom.9:11, God's sovereignty was before human morality.
One possible theological explanation was God's omniscience. (全知) Another possible theological explanation was God's omnipotence.(全能)
According to my reading of Rom.9:11, Paul seemed to be more on the side of God's omnipotence

Dear all, Peng An,
Yeah, these were very complicated interactions between the countries and between God and these countries. But our God seemed to have a very clear mind to know how to handle such complicated interactions.
All human relationships seemed to be all like this kind of interactions. The cause and effect were often intermingled to such a degree that sometimes it would be very hard for us to discern their relationship.

Dear all, Peng An,
Yeah, JBC was fast to refer to the pastors of HoPing. I had to confess that I could not even bear the heat of the black overcoat during summer time, that I had to raise the issue of pastor dressing during preaching and to ask the elder board to allow the pastor the option to wear only thin and short and light colored upper dressing... but I dared not to even mention whether it was permissible to wear short pant, as it would be even cooler without the long pant legs....
I liked Mou for his easily linking the bible content to his personal life experience. This was very good practice as to make our daily devotion more relevant to our own personal lives.
Thanks to YiTing for your detailed enlisting of the seven pieces of the high priest dressings. It definitely was very helpful to read such reviews...

Dear all, Peng An,
Thanks for your sharing and I enjoyed reading your postings. We missed Yuze again, hopefully this was not due to another episode of computer breaking down.... May our Lord protect and bless Yuze...
Apostle John used large proportion of his gospel to record the last week of our Lord Jesus, especially the last night, before he was arrested and crucified. Reading those last words of our Lord could help us to understand what was the most important concern of our Lord, which was the testimony of His disciples. Because the salvation of the whole world would be hung on their testimonies. Praise be to our Lord, though they were weak and frail, yet our Lord granted them enough grace to testify for the Lord, to spread the gospel to the end of the world, both geographically and chronologically...

Sometimes frank warning showed us true love of our friend.
God's unconditional love didn't mean that we could abuse such love to engage in whatever we would like to enjoy without having to bear the consequence of those behaviors.

Dear all, Peng An,
I liked the sharing of YiTing, that the poet Asaph changed his attention focus from himself to the Lord.
I liketd JBC's summary findings on Asaph's way of prayer, and the conclusion about 轉念, which I would translate as transformation of perspectives...
I liked the poem quoted by Mou, which was writen by the Jews in the concentration camp. Hope was a very precious gift from God, especially during the darkest days of our lives. May the Lord grant us hope no matter what situation we were in...

Dear all, Peng An,
I liked Mr. Mou's reflection and application.
It was very interesting that the Prophet Jeremiah was inspired to prophesize about Moab. It seemed to me that our God would have sovereignty over the whole world, no matter whether the country would worhsip God or not. And God seemed to be sovereign to chose the person He would like to use to inspire to warn Moab.
I wondered whether and how Moab people responded to the prophecy made by Israel prophet Jeremiah, especially Israel was a country with impending destruction by the Lord....

Dear all, Peng An,
In my own theology, the tree of good and evil was very important, as it represented God's special grace toward humanity by granting humanity the privilege of the freedom of choice.
The true freedom of choice would allow human to make wrong choice and to suffer the consequence. But God seemed to love human so much that He decided to send his only begotten son Jesus to bear the consequence, so as to give humanity a second chance of the freedom of choice. This second privilage was about whether to receive Jesus Christ as our Savior and the Lord of our lives.
Usually people would be easier to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior who had died for their sins on the cross. But people would be tougher to receive Jesus Christ as the Lord of their daily lives...
This was not the negation of the freedom of choice, but the loving response of the redeemed believers to use their second chance of the freedom of choice to chose to obey Jesus Christ to the most details...

Dear all, Peng An,
I liked JBC's sharing. Usually we would tend to criticize those who seemed to fail in the Bible, but JBC's perspective was very refreshing and reminding of us not to jump into our conclusion too fast. Try to look at the same story with many different possible perspectives. yeah, perspectives were very important. May our God grant us the ability to jump out of our prejudice, and be able to raise ourselves to higher vantage point of view, so that we could try to look at the same incidence with fresh and different perspectives.....

Dear Yuze, Peng An,
Whew!!! We could not read your posting due to the crash of your computer, not due to other more serious personal difficulties. Sweating, sweating.... BTW, computer brought lots of blessing to us, but we seemed to be hooked on computer and internet more and more... It looked like a cursing blessing....
King Solomon's life was recorded in the Bible unabridged and unbiased. Thus we had chance to learn from his life story. Solomon was the second child of David's unlawful wife Bathesba. Yet he received God's blessing in spite of his birthing order or status. He made a very good decision during his youth to ask God for wisdom, and not for money, power, or other privileges, and God granted his prayer. He build the temple for God, and was blessed by God on temple dedication. He enjoyed good and long life, enormous fame and huge richness... Yet, in his later days, he seemed to be influenced by his concubines, so that his faith in God was contaminated by syncretism... Let's we all pray that God would protect and guide us, all the way in our lives, till the last minute of our breath...

Dear All, Peng An,
Yeah, would we have a life story of God's grace to share with our offsprings? Recently, I started to record down the memory of my personal life from my childhood period. While recounting all the pains and troubles and failures in my life, it seemed to me to see a trail of God's mercy and guidance. I could only share my life experience with my offspring, and then prayed that God would touch their hearts through their own life experiences so that they would make their own decision to cling to God for all of their lives.

Dear All, Peng An,
So it seemed that there were two kinds of offerings involved in tabernacle building. The first was a duty offering, which would be shared by all. The second was a voluntary offering, which would be a free will offering for those who were financially capable and also be willing.
In our church reconstruction project, we also tried to set up two kinds of offering. One was huge amount once for all offereing. The second was tiny amount but longterm offering. Personally I liked to encourage all to participate in the second kind of offering, which I would call it "an army of ants offering" 螞蟻雄兵奉獻法 While each one would just offer a tiny amount, like an ant could only carry that pity small amount, but every ant could contribute. And since all could afford it without seriously impacting our daily financial lives, thus we could all affordable to join this kind of offering for longterm, until the church had paid off all mortgages.

Dear All, Peng An,
I remembered that Yuze told me that she could not come to join our Sunday service in the afternoon, because of her work. Let's pray for her situation and that God would guide her and her family to a church that worshipped in Sunday morning so that her family could continue to worship God during our church reconstruction period. Of course, we would love to welcome her family to come back and join us after we had finished the church reconstruction.
Jesus prayed and asked God to send the Holy Spirit to be with us always before his leaving us. The Holy Spirit would be known by us and would live within our hearts, so that we were not left to be alone. The Holy Spirit would teach us and remind us of all the words spoken by Jesus. When we had the words of Jesus in our hearts, then Jesus would come and live in our hearts, and we could bear abundant fruits in our lives and we would glorify our Lord. The Holy Spirit would testify for the Lord together with our testimony.

Dear All, Peng An,
We seemed to miss Yuze recently. Prayed that she was doing fine under the blessing and protection of our Lord.
This prayer of Solomon on the occasion of dedicating the Temple was quite long and awesome. It started with a praise to God who was incomparable and a God of hesed. He claimed the promise of God to his father King David and asked God to fulfill His promise. He recognized that though the Temple looked very fascinating and huge, but still could not afford to be the abiding place for God. Then he focused the purpose and function of the temple to be a place where all could pray and confess and ask for God's forgiveness. The all would include himself, all people of Israel, and even all Gentiles. This would remind me of one incidence in Jesus' life when Jesus went into the temple to drive out all those who abused the temple into peronal profit making location to the effect of excluding the Gentiles from the right to pray to God at this temple. Now HoPing church was under the process of reconstruction. I must confess that HoPing church seemed not to be a church of prayer. So please pray to God to inspire all of us to help building HoPing church into a temple of prayer.

Dear all, Peng An,
Psalm 75 starts with a praise to God for His wonderful actions. Then God seemed to respond to such praise with a confirmation of His predestined judgment time. Then the poet turned to warn those who was proud and evil, not to continue in their behavioral patterns. Because on final judgment day, the judgment would be like a cup of wine that all who was proud or evil would have to drink it up to the last drop. But the poet would like to praise the ?God of righteous judgment. God seemed to respond with a conclusion that He would cut off the horn of the evil one, but to raise the horn of the righteous. This psalm looked like an intimate dialogue or chat between the poet and God.

Here the prophet Nehemiah seemed to referred to a future war between Egypt and Babylonian. At first, Egypt seemed to be expanding up north, like the flooding of river Nile (46:2, 8). But she would be defeated and retreated back to the land of Egypt. She would be totally defeated, but there seemed to be still a faint light of hope for the future recovery (46:26)
