Notes on Alvin L's sermon  Do not take offence unless: For the sake of Christ 1 Peter 4:16 ( Chinese UV (T) )  若為作基督徒受苦，卻不要羞恥，倒要因這名歸榮耀給神。 ( KJV )  Yet if  any man suffer  as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. For the sake of God's Word Matthew 13:21 ( Chinese UV (T) )  只因心裡沒有根，不過是暫時的，及至為道遭了患難，或是受了逼迫，立刻就跌倒了。 ( KJV )   Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. For the sake of correction  Galatians 4:16 ( Chinese UV (T) )  如今我將真理告訴你們，就成了你們的仇敵嗎？ ( KJV )  Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

T.A. 5:38 "You have heard that it was said, 'AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.' Exodus 21:22-25 indicated that like punishment be carried out on transgressions.  5:39 "But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. Jesus teaches against personal vengeance . The Mosaic law did not teach that the one who had lost eye could knock out the eye his enemy. Rather judges would govern the penalty against the transgressor (Deu. 16:18). Jesus and the Holy Spirt teach against personal vengeance. Judges and juries should determine guilt and punishment for transgressions (Rom 12:17-21; 13:34).  When Jesus said, “That Ye resist Not Evil,” He refers to we not taking personal vengeance. All evil originates with the devil; there is a sense In which we must resist him with all our might. James 4:7 says, “Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” Obviously this is not what Jesus referring, but in ...

By Albert Barnes Thinketh no evil -  That is, puts the best possible construction on the motives and the conduct of others. This expression also is “comparative.” It means that love, or that a person under the influence of love, is not malicious, censorious, disposed to find fault, or to impute improper motives to others. It is not only “not easily provoked,” not soon excited, but it is not disposed to “think” that there was any evil intention even in cases which might tend to irritate or exasperate us.  It is not disposed to think that there was any evil in the case; or that what was done was with any improper intention or design; that is, it puts the best possible construction on the conduct of others, and supposes, as far as can be done, that it was in consistency with honesty, truth, friendship, and love.  The Greek word ( λογίζεται   logizetai ) is that which is commonly rendered “impute,” and is correctly rendered here “thinketh.” It means, does not reckon, ch...

From KTC 忍耐不是忍受，忍受是对内心渴望极度地自我否定；忍受是强行闭嘴，压住内心的呐喊；而忍受的结果是要么是让周围人感受到混乱的、纠结的负面能量；要么是爆发出来攻击他人。 而忍耐是抱持着希望的、所以是温柔的、是接纳的。是能让人感受到陪伴与关怀的。愿我们都能效法主耶稣，恒久忍耐，爱人到底。太24:13惟有忍耐到底的必然得救。

from Kwan Tai Choon 言语是品行的果子 隐藏怨恨的，有说谎的嘴；口出谗谤的，是愚妄的人。(箴言 10:18 ) 心里有怨恨，出于挑剔，出于嫉妒，出于不满，出于讨厌，然后表现在批评，说谎，谗谤等不好的言语上。相反，心怀仁爱就能遮掩不良的情绪和言语，抑致情绪的爆发，并避免脱口而出的恶言，所以言语上出问题了，就要反省内心怀藏的精神，只有先正其心，才能正其言，从内心舍弃罪，祈求上帝的爱充满内心，就会有言语上好的果子。 第一戒假 口吐真言，永远坚立；舌说谎话，只存片时。(箴言 12:19 ) 第二戒多 多言多语难免有过；禁止嘴唇是有智慧。(箴言 10:19 ) 诸般勤劳都有益处；嘴上多言乃致穷乏。(箴言 14:23 ) 寡少言语的，有知识；性情温良的，有聪明。(箴言 17:27 ) 第三戒骄 藐视邻舍的，毫无智慧；明哲人却静默不言。(箴言 11:12 ) 谨守口的，得保生命；大张嘴的，必致败亡。(箴言 13:3 ) 愚妄人口中骄傲，如杖责打己身；智慧人的嘴必保守自己。(箴言 14:3 ) 第四戒急 义人的心，思量如何回答；恶人的口吐出恶言。(箴言 15:28 ) 未曾听完先回答的，便是他的愚昧和羞辱。(箴言 18:13 ) 怎样戒急呢，不抢话，语速也不能太快，不能信口开河，要考虑怎样说话要思量怎样应对。 第五戒躁 说话浮躁的，如刀刺人；智慧人的舌头却为医人的良药。(箴言 12:18 ) 不要照愚昧人的愚妄话回答他，恐怕你与他一样。(箴言 26:4 ) 你见言语急躁的人吗？愚昧人比他更有指望。(箴言 29:20 ) 第六戒怒 愚妄人的恼怒立时显露；通达人能忍辱藏羞。(箴言 12:16 ) 不轻易发怒的，大有聪明；性情暴躁的，大显愚妄。(箴言 14:29 ) 不轻易发怒的，胜过勇士；治服己心的，强如取城。(箴言 16:32 ) 人有见识就不轻易发怒；宽恕人的过失便是自己的荣耀。(箴言 19:11 ) 恒常忍耐可以劝动君王；柔和的舌头能折断骨头。(箴言 25:15 说话急了，进而易躁，失去温良的态度，或者被别人的急躁感染，马上变得与他一样，训练戒急戒躁，才能不至于动怒，动怒是基督徒最大的失败，要在别人的刺激之下，仍保持心平气和，作为有意识的功课来训练，作为更明确的目标来追求。 ...

From Kwan Tai Chun 人的怒气并不成就神的义(雅1:20)。 有些基督徒，在教会生同工的气,回到家生孩子的气,开车上路生前面那个开慢车的气,天下雨我们生气,在路上摔了一跤生气,看电视广告多也生气…… 这样，我们岂不是太给神“丢脸”了吗？动不动就生气，甚至还敢向神生气！ 记住第一个向神生气的该隐的教训！神悦纳了他弟弟亚伯的祭物，没有验中他的祭物，他就“大大地发怒，变了脸色”，耶和华对他说：“你为什么发怒呢？你为什么变了脸色呢？你若行的好，岂不蒙悦纳？你若行的不好，罪就伏在你的门前。它必恋慕你，你却要制伏它。”（创4:5-7） 神今天也要问你：你为什么变了脸色呢？不要用你的拳头和舌头来解决问题，要跪下祷告神,用膝盖。靠着那加给你力量的主，你一定行！ 你可能会讲：打死“蜘蛛”，就没有蜘蛛网了；找出“约拿”扔到海里，就风平浪静了。“蜘蛛”和“约拿”就是隐藏在我们里面惹事的祸根。先从里面下手，把自己的生命操练的棒棒的，与主的关系深深的，任凭12级的台风来，也搅动不了你！
