總是主的人

我們沒有一個人為自己活,也沒有一個人為自己死。
我們若活著,是為主而活。
若死了,是為主而死。
所以我們或活或死,總是主的人。
羅馬書十四章7-8節。

「榮耀我的,我必榮耀他」

給我金黃之弓,
給我希望之箭。
雲朵散開啊,給我矛,
給我火之戰車。
我絕不從精神的對抗中退卻,
也絕不讓手中的劍沉睡。

火戰車(Chariots of Fire)電影配樂

儆醒禱告

總要儆醒禱告,免得入了迷惑;
你們心靈固然願意,肉體卻軟弱了。
馬太福音二十六章41節。

驕傲、自卑與自憐

自傲與自卑、自憐其實並沒有太大差別,都是以自我為中心的罪。
大多基督徒視驕傲為毒蛇猛獸,
卻悄悄的開了縫隙讓自卑與自憐趁虛而入...
自卑或是自憐與聖經所談的謙卑是截然不同的品格。
然而,卻時常為人們混為一談。
不論驕傲或是自卑、自憐都是靈裡的貧窮;
謙卑則是靈裡的富足。
貧窮或富足的關鍵在於是否願意相信並領受神完全的愛,
耽溺於以自我為中心而出發的貧窮中,
(不論你選擇的是驕傲或是自憐、自卑)
將對基督徒的靈命進行漸進式的侵蝕,
在不知不覺中竊奪了神所賞賜豐盛、美好的生命。

Via dolorosa


Down the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day
The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street
But the crowd pressed in to see
The Man condemned to die on Calvary

He was bleeding from a beating, there were stripes upon His back
And He wore a crown of thorns upon His head
And He bore with every step
The scorn of those who cried out for His death

Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King,
But He chose to walk that road out of
His love for you and me.
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary.

Por la Via Dolorosa, triste dia en Jerusalem
Los saldados le abrian paso a Jesus
Mas la gente se acercaba
Para ver al que llevaba aquella cruz

Por la Via Dolorosa, que es la via del dolor
Como oveja vino Cristo, Rey, Senor
Y fue El quien quiso ir por su amor por ti y por mi
Por la Via Dolorosa al Calvario y a morir

The blood that would cleanse the souls of all men
Made its way through the heart of Jerusalem.

Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King
But He chose to walk that road out of His love for you and me
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary.
