與主獨處
「聯繫」這個字揭示了現今生活的普遍經歷。多數人會隨身攜帶手機、iPod、筆記型電腦，或傳呼器，讓人24小時隨時都能找得到。有些心理學家認為與人聯繫的渴望是一種癮，但也越來越多人刻意限制對科技的使用。這些「對科技說不」（tech-no）的人透過限制資訊的流入，來保留生活中的片刻安寧。

God's Provision: Maintain Integrity by Rick Warren
God cares about honesty in the workplace; your business is his business. Proverbs 16:11 (MSG)
God promises to meet all your financial needs, if you (1) ask him for help; (2) learn to be content; (3) practice giving in faith; and (4) maintain your integrity --
God doesn't bless dishonesty. Proverbs 16:11 (NLT) says, "The Lord demands fairness in every business deal." That includes wages, sales and taxes.
If you want God's blessing on your finances, you've got to be honest. You can't rip people off. Profit made dishonestly always brings trouble. Always.
"The blessing of the Lord brings wealth and he adds no trouble to it." (Proverbs 10:22, NIV) Have you ever known anybody who made money, and it just brought trouble? You will always reap what you sow. If you are dishonest with others, it will be returned to you. If you think you haven't been caught, understand that the clock is still ticking. You cannot mock God and get away with it.
Be honest. Be honest with your finances: "It is the Lord's blessing that makes you wealthy." (Proverbs 10:22, TEV)
Tomorrow we'll look at trusting God, another condition for answered prayer.

放棄？
力量盼望在於主，
主話堅定賜安息，
縱然有時似絕望，
知主眷顧總不離。
為耶穌工作，絕不輕言放棄。
Serving from the Heart by Rick Warren
Repeatedly, the Bible says to "serve the Lord with all your heart." God wants you to serve him passionately, not dutifully. People rarely excel at tasks they don't enjoy doing or feel passionate about. God wants you to use your natural interests to serve him and others.
How do you know when you're serving God from your heart?
The first telltale sign is enthusiasm. When you're doing what you love to do, no one has to motivate you, or challenge you, or check up on you. You do it for the sheer enjoyment. You don't need rewards, or applause, or to be paid, because you love serving in this way.
The opposite is also true: When you don't have a heart for what you're doing, you're easily discouraged.
One characteristic of serving God from your heart is effectiveness: whenever you do what God wired you to love to do, you get good at it. Passion drives perfection. If you don't care about a task, it is unlikely that you'll excel at it.
On the other hand, the highest achievers in any field are those who do it because of passion, not duty or profit.
We've all heard people say, "I took a job I hate in order to make a lot of money, so someday I can quit and do what I love to do." That's a big mistake. Don't waste your life in a job that doesn't express your heart.
Remember, the greatest things in life are not things. Meaning is far more important than money. The richest man in the world once said, "A simple life in the fear-of-God is better than a rich life with a ton of headaches" (Proverbs 15:16, Msg).
Don't settle for achieving "the good life," because the good life is not good enough. Ultimately, it doesn't satisfy. You can have a lot to live on, and still have nothing to live for. Aim instead for "the better life" -- serving God in a way that expresses your heart.
Figure out what you love to do -- that which God gave you a heart for -- and then do it for his glory!

Youth Fellowship 青少年团契
1Ti 4:12
Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but be an example for other believers in your speech, behavior, love, faithfulness, and purity.
提前 4:12
不可叫人小看你年轻，总要在言语、行为、爱心、信心、清洁上，都作信徒的榜样。
Children Sunday School 儿童主日学
Mat 19:14
Jesus, however, said, "Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away. For the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these."
马太 19:14
耶稣说：「让小孩子到我这里来，不要禁止他们；因为在天国的，正是这样的人。」
Mission 宣教
Mat 28:18-20
Then Jesus came up and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, as you go, disciple all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you."
马太28:18-20
耶稣进前来，对他们说：「天上地下所有的权柄都赐给我了。 所以，你们要去，使万民作我的门徒，奉父、子、圣灵的名给他们施洗（或作：给他们施洗，归於父、子、圣灵的名）。 凡我所吩咐你们的，都教训他们遵守，我就常与你们同在，直到世界的末了。」 你们的，都教训他们遵守，我就常与你们同在，直到世界的末了。」
Discover your spiritual gifts by serving by Rick Warren
Since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formedThe best way to discover your spiritual gifts and abilities is to experiment with different areas of service. For instance, when I was younger, I could have takena hundred tests to determine my gifts and abilities; yet, they would have never told me was gifted at teaching. It was only after I began accepting opportunitiesto speak that I saw the results, received confirmation from others, and realized,"God has gifted me to do this!" Many people get the discovery process backwards. They think, "Once I discovermy spiritual gifts, then I'll know my ministry." It actually works the exactopposite way. Until you're actually involved in serving, you're not going to knowwhat you're good at. The thing to do is just start serving and experimenting with different ministries; only then will you discover your gifts. You have dozens of hidden abilities and gifts you don't know about becauseyou've never tried them out. So I encourage you to try doing some things you'venever done before. No matter how old you are, I urge you to never stop experimenting. Over the years, I have met many people who discovered hidden talents whenthey were in their seventies and eighties. In fact, I know a woman in her nineties who runs and wins 10K races; she didn't discover that she enjoyed running until she was seventy-eight! Don't try to figure out your gifts before volunteering to serve somewhere. Just start serving. Try teaching or leading or organizing or playing an instrumentor working with teenagers. You will never know what you're good at until you try. When it doesn't work out, call it an "experiment," not a failure, becauseit will help you eventually learn what you're good at. |
