恶人一出母胎，就与神疏远；一离母腹，便走错路，说谎话（诗：58：3）

【恶人一出母胎，就与神疏远；一离母腹，便走错路，说谎话。】（诗：58：3）

《诗篇》经常提到的几个词，都有特定的意思。如：一、【义人】是指敬畏神、遵行律法、远离恶事的人；二、【罪人】是指所有犯罪、不信神的人；三、【恶人】是指所有不信、反对神、犯罪作恶、为非作歹的人。大卫在此提到恶人一出母腹就远离神、走错路，可见父母敬畏神是何等的要紧！

大卫的父亲耶西是敬畏神的人，他的祖父俄备得是波阿斯和路得的儿子，都是敬畏神的。整个家族对大卫的影响实在深远，所有他从小就爱神和神的话，正如他说：【我在母怀里，你就使我有倚靠的心。】（诗：22：9节）

《圣经》又让我们看见，先知撒母耳的信心是受母亲哈拿的影响，因此他愿意从小就远离父母，居住在耶和华的会幕中。提摩太从小明白《圣经》，对神有信心，乃因他的母亲友尼基和祖母罗以的影响（提后：1：5）。相反的，以色列王亚哈大大行恶，他的儿子效法他一味行恶，直到惹来神忿怒的审判。

弟兄姊妹们，我们应该敬虔爱主，叫我们的下一代也受影响同来爱主。自婴儿在母腹中，父母就当常为此代祷，直到他们一生在基督里成长，被主得着。这样一代影响一代的事奉主，多有福啊！

1 Tim 2:12 Woman's Silence

1 Tim 2:12 ( KJV )  But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. T.A.: My wife and some other sisters were having a Bible study in Hualien. A non-Christian man who knew one of the women came in and sat down. My wife stopped teaching and tried to tell him that she could not teach with a man present.  She said it embarrassed the man and he left and never saw him again.  She feels she handled the situation wrongly.  She thinks now that she should have kept teaching and after the class explained what the Bible teaches and encouraged him to attend the men's classes. That  might be the best way to handle that situation. The word "silence " in I Timothy 2:12 follows "teach,  nor to usurp authority over the man "  This describes a situation where a woman robs authority that God has not given her. It seems like it depends on her attitude and the manner in which she speaks. If she is overbearing and a "Miss , I know

RETURN TO THE LORD 歸向神 （Joel 約珥書2:13-14)

  Warren E. Berkley Translation & Edition  翻譯： Joyce Yang Built in to the message of the prophets was the appeal to repent. These men were sent by God to expose sin and urge the guilty to repent. Often the appeal was framed as a challenge to return to the Lord (Isaiah 6:10; Jeremiah 3:1; Malachi 3:7). For instance, Joel’s appeal to Judah was for the people to repent of their sins. “So rend your heart”, and “return to the Lord your God” (Joel 2:13). Through the distribution of His judgments (locusts, drought, desolation), God admonished His people to come out of their sin and back to Him. It was His loving purpose to prompt a change in their direction. The essential definition of repentance has not changed through the dispensations. We can, therefore, use Joel’s statement as the basis for our understanding of returning to the Lord. And this study can find application for those who have been baptized but left their God. 先知的信息中內含著悔改的呼籲。這些人是神派來揭露罪惡、敦促有罪之人悔改的。這種呼籲常常被界定為 “ 歸向神的挑戰 ” （

The Woman that Hath a Familiar Spirit 交鬼的婦人 (1 Sam 28)

From T.A. 翻譯：Joyce My reasoning as to why I don't think there is demon possession today is because humans do not today have the power to cast out demons. With the death of the last Apostle , the ability to transmit miraculous power ceased. To me it would not seem to be a balance of power of demons were allowed to possess humans and God no longer gave His people the power to cast out demons .  我之所以認為今天沒有惡魔附身，是因為人類今天沒有能力驅魔。 隨著最後一個使徒的死亡，傳遞神蹟力量的能力停止了。 在我看來， 若惡魔的力量不允許附身於人類，神也不會再賦予祂的子民驅逐惡魔的力量。 The events of 1st Samuel 28 happened long before the Christian age. From earliest times until the present there have been people who claim to have the powers of the occult. God in His Bible has forbidden His people to have anything to do with sorcery and things pertaining to it(Galatians 5:20,21-witchcraft is sorcery). These things belong to the deception of the devil.   1st Samuel 28的事件發生在基督教時代之前很久。 從最早到現在，一直有人聲稱擁有神秘主義的力量。 神在祂的聖經中禁止祂的子民與邪術和與巫術有關的事物有任何關係（加拉太書5:20,21－邪術就是巫術）。 這些東西屬於魔鬼的欺騙。 I realize
