Revelation 10:10 -傳福音為取悅神

Revelation 8 (KJV) 2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. - ppt download

By Jimmy Lau

Rev 10:10  And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. 


The object of preaching and teaching is not to please men, and to win’s men’s approval but God’s. To do this demands diligent study and care. It is men’s tendency to seek popular favour rather than the divine favour. But the true servant of God seeks only to please God. Paul said if he had tried to please men, he would not be a faithful servant of God (Galatians 1:10).

 我記得白爸爸說，之所以肚子發苦，是因為傳福音會受到迫害，好像我受到父母的揶揄和諷刺。

 如同Jimmy提示，我們傳福音只能取悅少數追求真理的人，但我們仍要傳，因為神喜悅愛祂的人。

 求神加添我們信心，面對迫害試驗，仍然信靠神，相信神必報應，也必祝福和看顧真正跟隨祂的人。

Subject: "Should I Forgive A Brother Who Won't Repent?" Speaker: Don Blackwell Scripture: Luke 17:1-3 Website: https://www.willowcofc.net/ Willow Avenue Church of Christ Video: https://www.youtube.com/live/G0CwQfl3YMo?si=Y5PyqjXAxuOiTVX8 Then Peter came to Jesus, and he said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him.  Up to seven times? Jesus said to him, I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to 70 times seven.  (Mt 18:21-22). Brethren, I want to suggest to you this morning that questions about forgiving a brother who has sinned against you is not a new thing. They existed even when the Lord was on this earth. And they are troubling enough that one of the apostles felt the need to come and ask Jesus directly about it. How frequently should I forgive my brother? I mean, my patience runs out sometimes. I mean, sometimes enough is enough. Where do I draw the line? Peter said, is seven times enough? You know, I've got the idea that Peter

Together: Forgive One Another

From:  Brent Kercheville - West Palm Beach church of Christ False Understanding of Forgiveness In our culture, forgiveness is a unilateral internal effort to get my own emotions under control. It is a therapeutic view of forgiveness. Forgiveness is about me. We see this in the way the word “forgiveness” is used. For example, we will hear people say that you need to forgive yourself. This does not make sense using the word biblically. The scriptures never say to forgive yourself. But what people mean about forgiving yourself is this unilateral internal effort to get your own emotions under control and move yourself to some sort of happy place. This is not a biblical view but you can see why there is confusion when we discuss forgiveness from a biblical basis.  Another example of this misunderstanding of forgiveness is that you will hear people say that they have forgiven God or cannot forgive God. This is also nonsensical and ultimately blasphemous since God cannot do wrong and has done
