【Are You Dating a Non-Christian?｜你是否正在與非基督徒交往？】

If you are a Christian, you must ask: Who is most important in your life?

如果你是基督徒，你必須問自己：誰是你生命中最重要的？

Christ should be your life (Colossians 3:4).

基督應該成為你的生命（歌羅西書 3:4）。

If someone does not understand or value Christ, how can they truly understand you?

若對方不認識基督、也不看重基督，他如何真正認識你？

“For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness?...” (2 Corinthians 6:14–15)

「義和不法有什麼相交呢？」（哥林多後書 6:14–15）

If even remarriage is “only in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 7:39),

如果連再婚都限定「只可嫁在主裡的人」（哥林多前書 7:39），

then marriage from the beginning should also be in the Lord.

那麼一開始的婚姻，更應當是在主裡。

“…they may be won without a word by the conduct…” (1 Peter 3:1–2)

“How do you know… whether you will save your spouse?” (1 Corinthians 7:16)

「你怎麼知道不能救你的配偶呢？」（哥林多前書 7:16）

“Do not be anxious… but in everything by prayer…” (Philippians 4:6–7)

「應當一無掛慮…只要凡事藉著禱告」（腓立比書 4:6–7）

Pray for their heart, wisdom, and openness.

為他們的心、智慧與敞開禱告。

Prayer not only changes situations, it changes your heart.

禱告不只改變處境，也改變你的心。

────────────────────

➌ Be the Best Spouse You Can Be｜成為你該成為的配偶

Your responsibility does not depend on your spouse’s behavior.

你的責任不取決於對方的表現。

“Love your wives, as Christ loved the church” (Ephesians 5:25)

「你們作丈夫的，要愛你們的妻子，正如基督愛教會」（以弗所書 5:25）

“Respectful and pure conduct” (1 Peter 3:1–2)

「貞潔的品行與敬畏的心」（彼得前書 3:1–2）

Christians are called to marry in the Lord.

基督徒蒙召要在主裡結婚。

But if already married, remain faithful, loving, and hopeful.

但若已在婚姻中，就要忠心、愛人，並存著盼望。

God still works through such marriages.

**What the “Rapture” Claims 「被提」教義主張什麼？** The Rapture teaches that believers will be secretly taken up to heaven before a coming tribulation. 「被提」教義主張：在大災難之前，信徒會被秘密接到天堂。 （來源：Truth For The World –  Second Coming, Not a Secret Rapture https://truthfortheworld.org/second-coming  ) This idea comes from 1800s dispensationalism, especially from John Nelson Darby. 此教義源自十九世紀的時期論，主要由達秘推廣。 （來源：World Video Bible School –  History of Dispensationalism https://video.wvbs.org  ) **1. Christ Returns Only Once — Publicly  基督只會再來一次，而且是公開的** 1 Thessalonians 4:16 describes a loud, visible coming — not a secret removal of believers. 帖前4:16 描述主再來時有呼叫、有號筒聲——完全不是秘密事件。 （來源：The Lord’s Way –  The Second Coming https://www.thelordsway.com/site1/articles.asp?ArticleID=4368&CongregationID=1  ) The Bible never speaks of two separate comings of Christ. 聖經從未教導基督會有兩次不同方式的降臨。 （來源：Truth For The World –  No Secret Coming https://truthfortheworld.org/second-coming  ) **2.

Up to seven times?” Mat 18:22  Jesus *said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Mat 18:21   那時，彼得進前來，對耶穌說：「主啊，我弟兄得罪我，我當饒恕他幾次呢？到七次可以嗎？」 Mat 18:22   耶穌說：「我對你說，不是到七次，乃是到七十個七次。 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. 弟兄們，今天早上我想向你們分享關於原諒得罪你們的弟兄的問題，這不是個新鮮的課題。 即使是耶穌在這個世上時，這問題也存在。他們很困擾，以至於其中一個使徒覺得有必要來直接向耶穌詢問這件事。 How frequently should I forgive my brother?
