以法莲是没有翻过的饼（何7：8）

以法莲是没有翻过的饼。（何7：8）

烤饼时若不翻，必然有一面烤不熟。从各方面看来以法莲也是这样，并未被神的恩所接触！虽然有一部份顺服，但仍残留着很多悖逆之心。我的心哪！我要叫你看看你是否也有这种情形。你在神一切的事上都透彻完全吗？是否神的恩已离了你的中心，使你在你一切的力量、动作、言语和思想上感不到神的作为呢？灵魂体都被洁净，应当作为你的目标和祷告。虽然在各处都不十分洁净，但洁净的工作却当均匀而普遍，不当在一处有圣洁的表现，而在别一处却仍有罪，不然你也就成为了一个没有翻过的饼了。

一个饼若是不翻，不久靠火的那面必然被烤焦；虽然没人能有太深的信仰，但也有些人为他们所接受那一部份真道的热火烧得焦黑，或是在仪式上追求虚荣像虚浮的法利赛人焦得烧了起来。表面上佯装神圣非凡的人，实际上常是毫不敬虔的人；在公众面前是个圣徒，在私下却是个魔鬼；他的行事白天是面，晚上却成了炭。饼的一面已经焦得冒烟，而另一面却还是生的。

若这是我的情形，主啊！求你把我翻过来，使我们不洁净的性情翻向你的爱火，使它经受圣火。当我感到自己的软弱时，使我已经焦了的一面冷下来；当我离了你属天的火时，使我需要你热。求你使我不要三心两意，乃要一心一意地完全受恩典的支配，因为我知道若我是一个没有翻过的饼，两面都不顺服你的恩，那末我必永远被不灭的火所烧。

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...
