《学习飞翔》

   “因我们行事为人是凭着信心，不是凭着眼见。”（林后 5：7）

   人生的旅途是一步一步地前移，我们凭信心跟随主的也当如此。如同一位登山者走在山中小径，无法看到前面的道路，有时路标明确，有时则隐晦不明；道路有时急遽转向，有时则陡升，或是险降。甚至变得崎岖或泥泞不堪。而他只知道必须踏出下一步。但是我们凭着信心所走的道路却和登山者大不相同，因着相信基督，我们可以满怀信心，不断向前迈进，直到抵达目的地。
   有一位朋友送我一首无名氏的小诗，描述出信心的道路：当你行至光亮的尽头，即将踏入未知的黑暗时，信心就是，你知道黑暗中必有可供立足之地，或者你将学会飞翔。
   或许今天你正面对渺茫不可知的关卡，你只知道必须前行，但却无法看清十尺以外的景象。神引领你至此地，不是要离弃你，而是要告诉你，也许是前所未有的――你可以全然相信他。
   前进吧！不断地祷告，逐步走进那不可知的未来，神早已应许他必不撇下你，也不丢弃你（来 13：5）。你可以确知“必有可供立足之地，或者你将学会飞翔，展翅而过”。
   当看来已走投无路之时，神会预备道路；他以我们无法明白的方式动工，他必为我预备道路。
   信心不是跃入黑暗，而是走向光明。

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...
