4 points shared so clearly and straight forward..
just like in shows normally u'll see pple using a cross or a bible to ward off evil.. but it's definitely not the case..
2) 为了管教我们,上帝可以放下他的“面子”
- 因着罪,上帝会允许仇敌胜过我们
3) 做上帝事工的当儿,不可忽略家庭
this is so important... if we neglect our families, then what testimony are we giving to them...?
4) 继续要有祝福、胜利与成功的生命在于我们如何与上帝同行 (我们与上帝的关系)
and then went to rzone.. rita shared today.. vaguely remembered the 2 points coz i din take notes in rzone de.. (maybe i should start taking notes at rzone huh..?)
1) Never lose grip of God
2) how u perceived others
the stories that rita shared some are really tear jerkers.. (hope i used the correct word..)
Romans 8:31-39
What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.
Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
first point makes me think of the song 紧紧抓住你 by 赞美之泉。。
the song starts from ard 3.17min.. in front is his testimony which really touches my heart.. (i posted this video b4 actually... haha..)
and then, the verse as quoted above reminded me of the song which is my last post.. 你爱用不变。。 the lyrics of these 2 songs are really really beautiful..
another point is what jerry emphasied at closing..
if we said nothing to put others down and only did as Ephesians 4:29 ("Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.") commands, we would be part of God's construction crew instead of Satan's wrecking crew
so many times we do not appreciate what our leaders did.. when they put in their efforts to do something for any events, many pple will naturally not appreciate what they've done.. but when they did something wrong, pple many a times will be the first to criticise.. i'm also included in this group.. that is why this msg really really spoke to my heart..
let all of us be part of God's contruction crew instead of Satan's wrecking crew bah..
