Reading the Bible

  • 马太福音 5:15

人点灯,不放在斗底下,而是放在灯台上,就照亮一家的人。


  • 哥林多前书 8:1

关于祭过偶像的食物,我们晓得“我们都有知识”,但知识使人自高自大,惟有爱心能造就人。


我们既然已经获得了救恩——一份奇妙无比的礼物,一盏照亮人的灯;我们就有义务向其他人分享!我们没有理由把灯放在斗底下,就像我们也没有理由经历了上帝却不向其他人分享。那样会让我们变得“属灵肥胖”,专顾自己。如果不断屯积“属灵知识”,却从未有所行动,就好比一个人知道很多关于健身的知识,却只一直坐在沙发上;那样的知识根本不能使他变得健美。你必须有所行动。


  • Matthew 5:15

Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.


  • 1 Corinthians 8:1

Now concerning food offered to idols: we know that “all of us possess knowledge.” This “knowledge” puffs up, but love builds up.


Because we’ve been given this incredible gift of salvation – a light – we have an obligation to share it with others! It makes no sense to put a light under a bowl, just like it makes no sense for us to experience God and not share it with others. That's what makes us 'spiritually fat' and keeps the focus on ourselves. We continue to retain 'spiritual information' but we never do anything with it. It's like knowing a lot about working out but only ever sitting on the couch: that knowledge doesn't help you get fit at all. You have to do something with it.

祷告与实践
Pray and Practice

祈求上帝在本周给你机会,在至少一次的谈话中能向别人分享你的信仰。谈话时要十分注意观察,寻找任何机会把你与上帝的关系带进话题里。

Pray that God opens up at least one conversation this week where you can share your faith. Be very observant in your conversations, looking for any chance to tie in your relationship with God.
