S. Lewis) 所指出的,如果我們自稱為主的門徒,我們要好像『小基督』那樣。我們必須在我們所處不正義的世界之中禱告,在各種的『貧與富』之間的差距愈來愈大中禱告, 在世俗主義和多元論盛行之中禱告,甚至在教會中出現的罪惡之中禱告,上帝將會使我們為祂大發熱心,但是要像祂的兒子從前所指示我們的,而不像非尼哈所作的 那樣。然後我們可以確實地經歷祂的『平安之約』在我們的生活中。──《每日研經叢書》顯揚http://www.blogger.com/profile/03953563021657044988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512702166766138703.post-78151839959162842622011-10-06T08:14:41.922+08:002011-10-06T08:14:41.922+08:00The Lord said to Moses, “Because of what Phinehas ...The Lord said to Moses, “Because of what Phinehas has done, I am no longer angry with the people of Israel.

We may either over-condemn like a Pharisee or allow anything like the Corinthians. Phinehas was a man who knew when a stand had to be taken. His zeal was well-placed.<br><br>Phinehas could not accept the rebellion against God. He was probably not the only one to make such a stand, but he did stop the plague. We may think our particular stand for righteousness makes no difference, but God honors our work and would cause it to make the difference.Yi-tinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11527493509807782006noreply@blogger.com
