敬虔主義

昨晚上教會歷史,講到施本爾的敬虔主義。他最主要是提出以下幾點:

1)精讀聖經(並非是每年讀了多少遍,而是明白每卷書的中心思想)
2)活出愛的生活和行為
3)傳揚福音

還有好幾點忘記了,但真的有點慚愧,因為老師問我們有幾多卷書卷熟到可以講得出內容,重要人物有邊幾個時,真係唔敢舉手(雖然過去一年在門訓的查經訓練令我對聖經多了認識,但仍不足夠。)!另外個兩點也好不到那裏!

此外,又講及到差會的成立及宣教之父威廉克里(十八世紀)。這個人真是令我敬佩,他本是一位鞋匠,但為了明白聖經及教義,於是自學法文、拉丁文、希臘文、希伯來文。然後去了印度宣教,當中由於太辛苦的關係,妻子得了精神病,但他沒有放棄,在印度逗留了四十年,沒有再回去英國,因為他怕自己回到英國後,沒有決心回印度宣教!由於他的奉獻,引發了不少英國人投身宣教。

另外戴德生也是好厲害!他的第五代孫(忘記了他的名字)現在仍然是中國的宣教士,據說他的普通話和中文程度比好多中國人更好!


這些偉人真是可敬!

組長的提醒

前晚上門訓的內容是小組組長的須知,內容包括組長具備的條件和承擔的角色。同學均一致認為做組長要有成熟的靈命、謙卑、與主建立親厚的關係、以身作則和要有使命感。而最大的引誘是過於高舉自己(因為所有組員都會傾向聽組長話)。

講開謙卑,之前在大學帶組時都以為組員成長關自己事,因為我係大學帶個組,6個女仔有5個決志做傳道人,有同學跟我說:「花燈,你點解栽培到D組員咁進深!」個陣時都有飄飄然架!但係之後好快就發覺真係唔關我事,係神的功榮!所以我成日都提醒自己,我只是神所使用的小媒體而已,組員有多少願意返教會係出於神,我只是盡力而為罷!

老實說做組長8年來,有好多風雨,好多時都想唔做,因為做組長實在太辛苦,同埋自已性格不太適合做組長,所以神透過這個事奉崗位磨我磨得好厲害!同時亦感謝神,因為這個事奉是祂帶著我走的,如果沒有祂,根本無可能走到今時今日!

而且做組長不可期望一、兩年有果效,我都係做最近才覺得摸到D門路,因為人的工作是自己控制不到的。因此奉勸剛踏上這個崗位的實習組長,不要輕言放棄,可能過程好辛苦,但係最後得益的都是自己!

額外的事奉

話說昨晚上長笛後,老師有信仰問題問我(其實我老師只是一個二十歲左右的小弟弟),因為他以前信了,但返教會不穩定,以致靈命沒有多大的成長。由於星期六他要在某學校教長笛,以致不能返團契,於是他問我應否辭工而返團契,但無左份工又令他交學費有壓力(他在浸會讀音樂),所以不知如何是好。我當然跟他分享返團契的好處,和我們不能同神爭時間用等等,以及告訴他神如何祝福我等等。他聽後變得有信心,和決定返團契。

在傾談的過程中,發現他沒有接受正式的栽培,因為他是返恩福的,據說該教會因太多人,連栽培的人手也不夠。於是我跟他說每次上課後我會同他做栽培。

此外,他又跟我說,他會加入Worshipper做長笛手,他覺得比起之前入管弦樂團仲興奮,因為可以事奉!

其實,我跟左佢學長笛接近兩年,由開頭覺得佢信仰不清晰到現在心裡火熱,實在感謝神,亦覺得神安排每個人的認識有著祂的旨意,而家感覺好似多左過屬靈細佬(因為除了上課外,我們常常在下課抹笛時談信仰的問題)。

Are you ready?

It is about the lesson on Thursday: the Reformation by Martin Luther. Martin Lurther was a scholar at that time and he found that the Roman Catholic distorted the ethnics of Christianity. Therefore, he nailed 95 theses which was cited the problem of Roman Catholic and attack on Popal abuse and sales of indulgences.And thus the history of our Protestant was begun. (in fact, we are protestants.)

What I tried to say is not the history of Protestant. It is the problem of Readiness. At the era of darkness, many people were inable to revolt because of ignorances. Rare could read bible because there were only Latin Version in the church. Generally speaking, they learnt the religions from the Church without the ability to distinguish. Therefore, the church educated them to buy the indulgences and thus the church could make a big money.

However, Martin Luther learnt a lot from school and he even equipped himself as a biblical scholar. Therefore, God used him to launch the Reformation.

But to me? Am I ready for God?

According to satistics provided by the teacher, there are over 20,000 Koreans in North East China to run their businesses. But underlying, they tried every effort to preach.

In South Korean, over 300,000 students would minor Chinese in their University because of preaching. Some of them study English in order to teach English in China. They would enage into short-term missionaries or long-term missionaries in China.


That is why I came across so many Koreans in NE China.

What about us? Are we equipped enough to be a tool of God?
