2025晨鐘課-每天,都是新的起點 以歷史智慧滋養生活,點亮2025每一天! 借鑑過去,活在當下,展望未來! 粵語廣播網站 (時兆出版社授權錄製) https://soundcloud.com/mediahk Podcast@靈修廣播站 5月27日 上帝的管弦樂團 為要藉著教會使天上執政的、掌權的,現在得知上帝百般的智慧。 以弗所書 3:10 如果請你描繪地方教會的狀況,你會把它比作什麼呢?例如,保羅將教會比作人體,有各種器官和肢體(林前12:12–31)。還有人將教會比作接收許多病人的屬靈醫院。我的一位朋友曾將他所在的教會比作隨處可見的7–11便利商店―因為教友們只在第七日上午11點鐘參赴聚會。 當基督教失去其原有特性時,約翰.加爾文(John Calvin,1509–1564)領導並親自監督了在瑞士日內瓦的教會、教育和政治結構的改革。馬丁路德在德語區宗教改革中也扮演關鍵角色,而加爾文對法語區改革的貢獻也不相伯仲。 1564年5月27日,加爾文在日內瓦逝世,但他為基督教留下了寶貴的遺產:一個行之有效的教會組織。 加爾文曾將教會比作管弦樂團,這是他最具洞察力的比喻之一。在他對〈詩篇〉第135篇13至14節的註釋中,他寫道:「整個世界是展示神善良、智慧、公義和能力的舞臺,但教會就像管弦樂團一樣―是最顯著的部分;上帝越是親近我們,祂對我們的恩惠越是親密和謙遜,我們就越要用心去體會。」 這句話發人深省。試想,你的教會就是一個管弦樂團。那麼,這樂團的樂器音調是否和諧?樂團中的樂手們是否在同一個調上演奏同一首曲目?此外,觀眾對於所演奏的音樂印象如何?根據馬克.迪弗(Mark Dever)的說法,「教會是讓人看得見的福音。」 你的教會所彰顯的又是怎樣的福音呢? 地方教會是上帝為社區所設立的交響樂團。也許你應該採取確實可行的策略來幫助教會改善,使之能夠以最優美的方式演奏出最美妙的音樂。記住,上帝值得我們獻上最好的給祂。

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. Mark Dever says, "The Christian life is the discipled life and the discipling life.” We need both to grow a healthy, full walk with Christ. So let's take our time to study the Word, pray without ceasing, fellowship with other Christians, worship our amazing, Living God, and share our faith with others. And even better if these things happen under a mentor who has walked with God longer than us! This will set us on a path of being discipled. And then, we ourselves are called to reach out and disciple someone else. This could look like us sharing the Gospel, seeing someone give their life to Christ, and then walking with them in spiritual growth as a new believer. I can personally tell you — experiencing this lights a fire in the soul and an excitement and joy in your walk with Christ! This is a picture of what the church should be—discipleship reaching across the generations. For more resources to get you started, visit sharelife.today.

Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength. Be no more afraid of your voice now, nor more ashamed of its being heard, than when you sung the songs of Satan.VII. Above all sing spiritually. Have an eye to God in every word you sing. Aim at pleasing him more than yourself, or any other creature. In order to this attend strictly to the sense of what you sing, and see that your Heart is not carried away with the sound, but offered to God continually; so shall your singing be such as the Lord will approve of here, and reward when he cometh in the clouds of heaven.
