There Is No Promised Land Today 今日已沒有「應許之地」

圖片
Based on an English article (E.B.) 根據英文資料整理翻譯 Title: There Is No Promised Land Today 題目:今日已沒有「應許之地」 Many people connect modern political Israel with the “promised land” mentioned in the Bible, especially when conflicts occur in the Middle East. Whenever war breaks out in that region, speculation about biblical prophecy often increases. However, many of these ideas come from misunderstandings of Scripture rather than from careful reading of the Bible itself. 許多人在談到中東衝突時,常把現代的政治國家以色列與聖經中的「應許之地」直接連在一起。每當該地區爆發戰爭時,關於聖經預言的各種推測也會隨之增加。然而,許多這樣的觀念其實來自對聖經的誤解,而不是對經文本身的仔細理解。 In the Old Testament, God promised Abraham that his descendants would receive the land of Canaan (Genesis 12:7; 15:18). Some people believe that this promise has never been completely fulfilled and still applies to the modern nation of Israel today. However, the Bible itself states that the promise was fulfilled when the Israelites entered and possessed the land. 在舊約中,神曾應許亞伯拉罕的後裔要得著迦南地(創世記 12:7;15:18)。有些人認為這個應許從未完全實現,因此仍然適用於今天的...

傳道者的心志 The Heart of a Preacher

標題:傳道者的心志 The Heart of a Preacher 使徒行傳 8:4 「那些分散的人往各處去傳道。」 Acts 8:4 “Those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word.” 傳福音不是一時的衝動,而是一種清楚而堅定的心志。 Preaching the gospel is not an impulse but a deliberate resolve. ──────────────── 一、為主捨己 Self-Sacrifice for the Lord ──────────────── 捨己的榜樣 Examples of Self-Sacrifice (1)舊約的榜樣 Old Testament Examples 摩西 寧可與神的百姓同受苦,也不願享受罪中之樂。 (來 11:24-26;出 32) Moses He chose to suffer with God's people rather than enjoy the pleasures of sin. (Hebrews 11:24-26; Exodus 32) 耶利米 忠心傳講神的話,即使被拒絕、逼迫仍不退縮。 (耶 26:1-15) Jeremiah He faithfully proclaimed God's word despite rejection and persecution.

真正的信心帶來自由 True Faith Brings Freedom

圖片
  許多基督徒在不知不覺中,背起了一個聖經沒有交給人的重擔: Many Christians, without realizing it, take on a burden that the Bible never gave them— 以為自己必須讓人相信、悔改、改變、順服。 believing they must make others believe, repent, change, and submit. 說得更直白一點—— To put it more plainly— 人開始以為自己是神。 people begin to think they are God. 但真正的信心,從來不是這樣運作的。 But true faith has never worked this way. 一、真正的信心,是先把自己站穩 1. True Faith Begins by Standing Firm Yourself 耶穌說得非常清楚: Jesus spoke with complete clarity: 「你們要先求神的國和神的義,這些東西都要加給你們了。」 “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” ——馬太福音 6:33 —Matthew 6:33 這句話的次序很清楚: The order of this statement is unmistakable: 先求神的國和神的義。 First, seek God’s kingdom and God’s righteousness. 不是先去管別人有沒有改變, Not first managing whether others have changed, 不是先去承擔結果, not first taking responsibility for outcomes, 而是先把自己站在神的主權與公義之下。 but first placing yourself under God’s authority and righteousness. 信心的起點,永遠是「我與神的關係」。 The starting point of faith is always “my re...

基督的第二次再來 The Second Coming of Christ

圖片
21 Dec with Kaohsiung CoC by bro PS ⸻ 今天這堂課的主題是: 基督的第二次再來 。 Today’s lesson focuses on  the second coming of Christ . 也就是聖經所說的 審判日 。 This day is also called  the Day of Judgment  in Scripture. 我們剛才所唱的詩歌,正好點出這個真理── 主必再來 。 The hymn we just sang clearly proclaims this truth —  the Lord will come again . 那是一個「偉大的日子」,也是聖經說的「 所定的日子 」。 It is described as a “great day” and also as  a day appointed by God . 對忠心的人而言,那不是恐懼的日子, For the faithful, that day is not one of fear, 而是 可以帶著盼望期待的日子 。 but  a day to be eagerly anticipated with hope . 正如使徒保羅在描述基督再來之後,對帖撒羅尼迦教會所說的: As the apostle Paul said to the Thessalonian church after describing Christ’s return: 「所以,你們當用這些話彼此勸慰。」 “Therefore comfort one another with these words.” ——《帖撒羅尼迦前書》4:18 / 1 Thessalonians 4:18 今天我們要查考三個問題 Today We Will Examine Three Questions 基督真的會再來嗎?真的會有審判日嗎? Will Christ truly come again? Will there really be a Day of Judgment? 基督何時再來? When will Christ return? 那一天會是什麼樣子? What will that day be like? 問題一:基督...

🌿 Faith: An Action Word — 信心是一個行動的字

This is a production of World Video Bible School. To God be the glory! 這是由「世界聖經學校(World Video Bible School)」製作的節目,榮耀歸於神! 1️⃣ What Is Faith? 什麼是信心? When discussing how to be saved from sin, people are often told that they must have faith — that is, they must believe. 當人們談論「如何從罪中得救」時,常被告知必須「有信心」——也就是要相信。 Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him.” 希伯來書 11:6 說:「人非有信,就不能得神的喜悅。」 Romans 5:1 says, “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God.” 羅馬書 5:1:「我們既因信稱義,就藉著我們的主耶穌基督得與神相和。」 John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” 約翰福音 3:16:「神愛世人,甚至將祂的獨生子賜給他們,叫一切信祂的,不致滅亡,反得永生。」 Some people think faith means “believing something without proof.” 許多人以為信心就是「沒有證據仍然相信」。 But that’s not  biblical faith  — that’s  blind faith . 但那不是「聖經的信心」,那是「盲目的信」。 Hebrews 11:1 defines faith: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence ...

Slap on the cheek and take the cloak (Mt 5:38-40)

圖片
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 ...
