Divorce, Remarriage, and Adultery离婚再婚、通奸
In today's society, a fad that's in the church as much as it is in the world is to not take the marriage covenant as seriously as we once did.In today's
society,风潮就是在教堂就像它在世界上是没有结婚是因为我们曾经不认真公约.
It is hard to
imagine that anyone in this country has not been touched by divorce in one way
or another.
Marriage is a covenant.婚姻是盟约. Not only a covenant between the man
and woman but a covenant with God.
What the Bible says about the Marriage Covenant约圣经说婚姻是什么盟约
Motivation for
a Victorious Life
I believe far too many Christians are NOT living a victorious life in Christ because they have not been given the tools to use along with their gifts.我相信没有太多基督徒过着胜利,因为他们生活在耶稣的工具都没有用,连同他们的礼物.
Well meaning,
but deceived, leaders in many congregations tell their flock they are not
victorious because they don't have enough faith. Rather than lift them with the Truth of the Gospel and the grace of God, they condemn the new or struggling believer with their own brand of Phariseeism.而非电梯与福音真理和神灵保佑,they condemn the new or struggling
believer with their own brand of Phariseeism.
What the believer needs who is struggling with life's issues are practical biblical based tools to help them gain balance in their lives and to move from being a defeated Christian to victorious Christian.信奉者需要什么艰苦生活的实际问题,根据圣经工具帮助他们生活得平衡,并提出对被基督教战胜了基督教胜利.

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me - put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.""Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble,
whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,无论是佩服-如果有什么好的还是值得称道--想想这些事情.不管你学到或听到或接到我,or seen in me - put it into
practice. And the God of peace will be with you." [Phil.[菲尔. 4:8-9] |
The Apostle, Paul, identified
for us where the battleground takes place. It takes place in our thought
process. And, it is that thought process which the devil uses to fill our minds with false ideas and visions of defeat.而正是这种思维过程中魔鬼用途满脑子虚假观念和视野败绩. Paul says to think on the more positive things: "whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy."Paul says to think on the more positive
things: "whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,无论是单纯,什么是可爱,不管是羡慕--如果有什么好的还是值得称道的." These are the things we need to focus our minds on.
The Message贺电
 The message that is needed is one of conviction of sin and the
fear of God. Until men and women realize that they have violated God's laws and that this world is ripening to reap His wrath, they will not see their need for the forgiveness which Christ bought with His blood.直到男女意识到自己已经违反了上帝的法规,这是世界上成熟收获他愤怒,他们不会看到自己所需要的基督宽恕他买血. That message will be increasingly difficult to deliver in the days ahead, but it is the only one that will prevent "converts" from coming to Christ for the wrong reasons and thereby being set up to follow the Antichrist when he appears.这一信息将越来越难以交付的日子,but it is the only one
that will prevent "converts" from coming to Christ for the wrong reasons and
thereby being set up to follow the Antichrist when he appears.
When all is said and done, and your life has come to a close, where will you spend the rest of your eternity ?当一切努力,你们的生命已告一段落,那么你们度过其余你永恒?

Who Is God in Your
Life?
 Either God is the Creator of the whole man, the whole universe, and all of reality and existence, or he is the Creator of none of it.要么就是上帝创造了整个人类,整个宇宙,一切现实的存在,or he
is the Creator of none of it.
If God is only the Creator of some divided platonic existence which leads to a tension between the body and the soul, the real world and the spiritual world, if God is only the Creator of some spiritual little experiential "praise the Lord" reality, then he is not much of a God.如果上帝只创造了一些柏拉图存在分歧而导致关系紧张的身体和灵魂,the real world and the spiritual world, 如果上帝只创造了一些小的精神体验"赞美上帝"的现实,then he is not
much of a God. Indeed, he is not I AM at all.的确,他不是我的.
If our Christian lives are allowed to become something spiritual and religious as opposed to something real, daily applicable, understandable, beautiful, verifiable, balanced, sensible, and above all united, whole, if indeed our Christianity is allowed to become this waffling spiritual goo that nineteenth-century platonic Christianity became, then Christianity as truth disappears and instead we only have a system of vague experiential religious platitudes in its place.If our Christian lives
are allowed to become something spiritual and religious as opposed to something
real, daily applicable,理解、美丽、可核查、平衡合理,首先团结全体if indeed our Christianity is allowed to
become this waffling spiritual goo that nineteenth-century platonic
Christianity became, 当时基督教真理消失而我们只有一套空泛的宗教体验陈词滥调取而代之.

Books, 1981), pp. 27-28.)

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness
for light and light for darkness,who put bitter for sweet and sweet for
bitter. [Isaiah 5:20][以赛亚广州] |
We need to be aware of what's
happening!
Throughout church history,
there have been those who have (to use Dwight L. Moody's words) become"so heavenly minded that they were no earthly
good." They quit their jobs, sold their property, and sat and waited for Jesus to return.他们跳槽,出售他们的财产,并坐、等待耶稣返回. All of them have been embarrassed, of course, because it is unbiblical to set dates for His coming.已全部难堪,当然,因为这是他未来unbiblical订日期. It is also unbiblical to become
careless and lazy just because we believe Jesus is coming soon.
We need to be alert to the possibility of the consummation of events at any time.我们需要留意的可能性随时事件圆满. That means we are aware of the events unfolding in the world that shape our
destiny. Implied in our alertness, is also readiness.隐含的警觉,也愿意. We need to be preparing
ourselves for Christ's return which could happen at any moment. As we see the time of His return edging closer, we should intensify our efforts of fulfilling our calling of preaching the gospel so that others might too be saved.我们看到他返回时稍微拉近,我们应该加紧努力实践呼唤宣扬福音使别人也许太得救.

Enemies of Revival敌人复活
Apathy, complacency, and spiritual self-satisfaction
are the main enemies of revival. We need both a dynamic concept of mission and also a dynamic concept of life in the power of the Holy Spirit in order to move effectively in God's will.我们需要一个动态的概念,两者的使命,也是一个动态的概念,生命权的圣灵为了有效地神的旨意. More and more power is ours as we seek Him at greater and greater depths, increasingly submitting to His promptings, and courageously launching out in obedience to His commands.More and more power is ours as we seek Him at
greater and greater depths,越来越服从他promptings,大胆推出了服从他的指挥. Our resolution should be (in Hudson Taylor's words) to "Expect great things from God and attempt great things for God."我们应该解决(哈德逊泰勒的话说)"伟大的期望伟大的事情,并试图从上帝上帝"
Compromise with the world causes us to loose our focus on what is truly important.使我们与世界妥协松散围绕什么是真正重要的. When we
become like those people and situations which cause disunity, we add to the
problem rather than help. |
