ACTS 23

使徒行传 23

11 The following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Take courage, for as you have testified to the facts about me in Jerusalem, so you must testify also in Rome.”

11 当晚,主站在保罗身旁对他说:“要勇敢!你怎样在耶路撒冷为我做见证,也必照样在罗马为我做见证。”

COMFORT AND CHALLENGE
安慰与挑战

Paul had testified all over. He was totally immersed in sharing Christ wherever he went. I don't want to concentrate on Paul, but on the Lord and what He said to him.
保罗已经在各处作证了。他完全沉浸在事工中, 无论走到哪里都分享基督。不过要这里我不想集中讨论保罗,而是关注主对他说的话。

The Lord stood by the Apostle Paul. Through the ages, the Lord has stood by His people in their darkest hour; He had done the same with Daniel's three friends in the fiery furnace. And He stood by David as he fought Goliath. And there are many other examples of God standing with His saints.
主站在使徒保罗旁边。经过岁月的洗礼,主一直在他的子民最黑暗的时刻站在他们身边;在但以理的三个朋友在烈火炉中, 他也这样做过。大卫与歌利亚战斗时, 他在也站在他身边。这样的例子还有许多,上帝与他的圣徒同在。

Be encouraged, believer. Like Paul, the Lord is standing right beside you! And He is saying to you what He said to the Apostle…”Take Courage."

信徒,要振作起来。像保罗一样,主就站在你旁边!他对你说的与他对使徒说的一样:“要勇敢。”

We also see God's providence here. If Paul hadn't been arrested in Jerusalem, then he may not have had the opportunity to go to Rome. The way Paul arrived in Rome was not like he imagined, but our way is seldom God's way.
我们在这里还看到了上帝的恩典安排。如果没有保罗在耶路撒冷的被捕,那么他可能就没有机会去罗马。保罗到达罗马的方式并不如他所想象的那样,但我们的方式不总是上帝的方式。

Remember believer, that God stands right alongside you and is saying, "Take courage."
记住,信徒,上帝就站在你旁边,并说:“要勇敢。”

He also said to the Apostle Paul, “You are in My hands; you will now testify of Me in Rome.” The great opportunity to share the gospel in the centre of the Roman Empire, was now being opened up to Paul.
他还对使徒保罗说:“你在我的手中,现在你要在罗马为我作见证。” 为在罗马帝国的中心分享福音的绝佳机会正在为保罗打开。

God bless you,
愿上帝赐福与你,

NEHEMIAH 10

尼希米记 10

39 For the people of Israel and the sons of Levi shall bring the contribution of grain, wine, and oil to the chambers, where the vessels of the sanctuary are, as well as the priests who minister, and the gatekeepers and the singers. We will not neglect the house of our God.”
39 以色列人和利未人要将这些五谷、新酒和新油作为举祭带到收藏圣所器皿的地方,即供职的祭司、殿门守卫和歌乐手所住的房子。这样,我们便不会忽略我们上帝的殿。”


NEGLECTING THE HOUSE OF GOD

忽视上帝的殿

Nehemiah is one of my favourite books. It is a master class on how to rebuild what is broken down, and how to endure persecution from the enemy.
尼希米是我最喜欢的书之一。这是一个大师课程,关于如何重建破碎,以及如何忍受来自敌人的迫害。

The returning exiles were making a covenant with the Lord in Nehemiah 10:29-31. These words are a fitting climax to their commitment to the covenant. This is a tremendous statement and one they took very seriously! As Christians, there is something we can learn from their conviction, and commitment to care for the house of God.
回归的流亡者, 尼希米, 在尼希米书10章29-31节与主立约。这些话是对他们对立约承诺的恰当高潮。这是一个了不起的声明,他们非常认真地对待!作为基督徒,我们可以从他们的坚定和关心上帝的殿宇中学到一些东西。

Beloved, do you neglect the house of God? Have you ever done any of the things below?

上帝所爱的你,是否忽视了上帝的殿?你是否曾经做过以下任何事情?

Been late for church.. arriving some time through the service.

去教堂迟到...在礼拜中的某个时候才到达

Not been reverent in the house of God...laughing and joking with friends.

在上帝的殿宇中不庄重...与朋友开玩笑

Fallen asleep during the service

在崇拜时入睡。

Played on your cell phone

在崇拜时使用手机

Rushed home immediately after worship service

崇拜结束后匆忙回家

Not go to church at all.

不去教堂

Dressed in a manner that is not glorifying God.

穿着不荣耀上帝的方式

So often the people of God are flippant and careless in the house of God. It is not a social club; it is a holy place, where God meets with His people.
Church attendance may not be mandatory, but it is compulsory. If you are a Christian, you will long to be in God's house. Look at David, especially in Psalms 27 and 84. Look at the early church and the example of Jesus in the closing verses of Luke 2. He had a reverence for God's house.

作为上帝的子民却在上帝的殿宇中轻率和疏忽, 而且常常是这样。可是,这不是一个社交俱乐部;这是一个神圣的地方,在这里上帝与他的子民相会。出席教会可能不是强制性的,但是是义务性的。如果你是基督徒,你会渴望在上帝的殿宇中。看看大卫,特别是诗篇27章和84章。看看早期的教会以及耶稣在路加福音2章的结尾所展示的榜样。他对上帝的殿宇有敬畏之心。

Going to church on Sunday is one thing you should do. It's the only thing that is really important on the Lord's day; and remember, once you arrive, you are first and foremost to meet with God, not your friends.

星期天去教堂是你应该做的一件事。在主的日子里,这是唯一真正重要的事情;记住,一旦你到达,你首先要与上帝相会,而不是与朋友相会。

Are you neglecting the house of God?

你是否忽视上帝的殿?


God bless you,

愿上帝赐福与你,
