对你……神有办法！

对你……神有办法！

你说你的素质不好，但也绝不会比雅各更诡诈。他连亲兄弟也舍得骗，遇难时把妻子孩子，都当成自己的挡箭牌……可是神祂有办法，使雅各变成了以色列：神的勇士。

你脾气再坏，也不能比约翰更暴躁。有人只对主嘟囔了一句，他就想让主降火来烧灭他……可是神自有祂的办法，不久后这个雷子深情地说：神爱世人！圣经里这个人说：神就是爱！

你再偏激，也不可能偏激过保罗。他拿着绳子去捆绑呼求主名的人，并且参与了司提反的谋杀……他要爱神，却不知为何就成了神的仇敌。
可是神总有办法：使他变成了新约最大的使徒，却又是最谦卑的，他说自己是"罪人中的罪魁"，比众圣徒中最小者还小。

你再软弱，也软弱不过彼得。他三次否认主之后，重新扎到海里去打渔，他自怜到一个地步，认为自己没有希望了……然而主拿他有办法：主不厌其烦地下到海边，重新来呼召彼得，让他牧养主的羊。

你再委屈，也没有主耶稣委屈。他是创造万物的伟大之神，地上唯一无罪而完全的人，却被他造的人钉在木头上，圣洁全能的神却被剥夺了衣服，与强盗同列。他不仅被无辜地处死，更是被羞辱地处死……然而神"凭自己的意旨而行"，使他刚强壮胆，使他举起无愤怒的手祷告说："父啊，赦免他们。”

 阿们！"神从创立世界以前，在基督里拣选了我们，使我们在他面前成为圣洁，无有瑕疵。_以弗所书1:4"

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...
