4. 這段時間裡，學習更多地親近神。😊禱告就是親近神，無論你以何種形式。E. M.
Bounds (白邦茲牧師) 說的透徹：講道從來都不能夠使不禱告的靈魂受教 preaching
never edifies a prayerless soul；又，當信仰停止祈禱時，它就不再活下去 when faith
ceases to pray, it ceases to live。你如果不確定該為什麼祈禱，以下是一些建議：
a. 疫情期間，祈求教會討神喜悅、靈命提升，使人認識基督
b. 獲悉教會餐館打工一些弟兄姊妹最近查出新冠陽性，周圍的人也都受到病毒威脅，
切切為他們禱告。只把它放在禱告裡，無需傳與他人，因為我們了解得很少，況且
也可能無意中影響店的聲譽和以後的業務。
c. 求神保守長者們的心思意念，在基督裡心感愉快蒙恩
d. 教會長遠計劃委員會 Long Range Planning committee（三堂均有成員參加，包括
Shirley Lau, Adriano Chau），請為上帝的指引禱告。
e. 為宣教士祈禱：Alan 和 Ahna、王文忠弟兄、Greg 和 Luna 陳國華夫婦、Rev.
Williams Cheng 鄭牧師飛行事工、Eileen 和先生 Hector 在華播事工等
f. 為牧者們祈禱（所有教會的牧師）：
o 他們的事奉和學習
o 神裝備、藉著他們帶領教會
o 曺牧師一家 7 月 31 日搬遷、徐傳道的爸爸身體健康
o 徐傳道明天原計劃是想要去教堂講道，現在取消。目前，病毒依然很猖獗，請
弟兄姐妹多加註意，求主保守大家。教會開放時間可能會有變動。
g. 其他項目（教會網站有更多資訊）：
o 紀念三藩市 Helen 陳師母中風並陳牧師身體康復、梅新愛居家康復、Sally Long
肝癌新治療計劃等。上帝醫治、憐憫、同在。
o 為多州的第二波、復工人員、前線人員、失業者、大華府區狀況、社會動盪、
重新開業、焦慮恐懼的心、在家工作的、護理人員、悔改謙卑在上帝面前等祈
禱。
5. 感謝弟兄姊妹分享您的歌曲和建議！Very good!
6. 復活節期的幾週信息主題是有關於主復活的經文。五旬節週日之後，信息主題是教會
比喻系列。接下來幾周的題目是神子民的特徵。祈求聖靈帶領我們進入基督的真理。
7. 五旬節（5 月 31 日），也稱聖靈降臨日和降臨節（十二月）之間的主日是三位一體
主日（簡稱三一主日），紀念上主聖父、聖子、聖靈，長達 26 個主日。根據教會的
年曆，今天是第五個三一主日。
8. 粵語禱告會是周日和周三（晚上 7:45），普通話禱告會是周二（晚上 7:00），天上的
父在等待。粵語禱告會電話號碼和密碼與粵語敬拜相同。無須勉強，不要覺得必須參
加所有禱告活動，天父知道子民心，能夠參與就參與。
9. 我們最近失去了幾位兄弟姊妹，包括廖李美寶、梁琰聰、葉鴻謀、Connie Lee、容
華。禱告上帝繼續親自安慰哀痛的家人和悲傷的心。上帝在我們中間暫且帶走這些
人，讓上帝自己親自來填補我們的傷痛和懷念。帖撒羅尼迦前書 4 章，13 論到睡了的
人，我們不願意弟兄姊妹們不知道，恐怕你們憂傷，像那些沒有指望的人一樣。14 我
們若信耶穌死而復活了，那已經在耶穌裡睡了的人，神也必將他們與耶穌一同帶
來。…1 所以，你們當用這些話彼此勸慰。
10. 居家期間，仍然閱讀專注神的話
o 敬拜神：神仍然掌權，基督徒是上帝的孩子，不要太怕慮。
o 以禱告等候神，重新得力：為受疫情影響的人和地方、疫苗發明、領袖們、安
慰、醫治、自己更經歷神、教會增長尊榮神等
o 以愛連接：團契、相互關注、幫助有需要的人
11. 鼓勵兄弟姊妹聚會前先閱讀經文、聽聽要唱的詩歌、準備好歌曲視頻等，使崇拜更得
益。如果你想參與讀經、祈禱、選崇拜詩歌等，請聯繫牧師。線上人多時，如果您有
建議推薦給牧師，或問問題，請考慮另外打電話聯繫牧師（202-271-8422），這樣會
更方便交談。歡迎聯繫。
12. 敬拜時一面聽電話，一面看敬拜順序
o 你可以同時看事先放在 WhatsApp 群裡的敬拜順序，如果不知道怎麼做，請告訴
我。（WeChat 也一樣）
o 你可以一面聽電話，一面使用電腦或電話上 CCC 教會的網站看同樣的敬拜順序。
o 如果你不在 WhatsApp 群中，但想你手機事先收到敬拜順序通知，請告訴我，下
次會將程序轉發給你。
o 華樂大廈和一些會友會提前（星期六）收到敬拜程序。感謝上帝，有一青年人願
意替我們發送。
o 可使用耳機或按電話擴音功能提高收聽效果。需要說話時，請講慢一點，靠近手
機說大聲一點，這樣，聲音傳輸將更清晰。
13. 奉獻：可以以郵寄支票或銀行轉賬，以及通過 Pay Pal 的方式支持教會目前的開支。
奉獻支票的擡頭是：Chinese Community Church, 500 I Street, NW, Washington, DC
20001。也可保存好，留待教堂重新開放時全部帶到教會。
14. 歡迎攜朋帶友參加！神與你一起、祝福你！

獨行奇事的上主以色列的神，是應當稱頌的。（詩篇 72）
主耶和華我的神我的王，我的心要倚靠祢。
凡投靠祢的必不懼怕，等候祢的必不羞愧。
願祢的崇高過於諸天，祢的榮耀高過全地。
祢統管萬有，祢治理列邦，萬國萬民都敬拜祢。
祢是那獨行奇事的神，在祢沒有難成的事。

18 以色列的上帝耶和華當受稱頌，唯有祂行奇妙的事。19 願祂榮耀的名永受稱頌！

18 獨行奇事的耶和華以色列的神是應當稱頌的！19 祂榮耀的名也當稱頌，直到永

20 耶和華住在祂的聖殿中，世人都要在祂面前肅靜。
榮耀歸於聖父、聖子、聖靈；起初這樣，現在這樣，將來也這樣，永無窮盡。阿

禱告（Kelvin，禱告完弟兄姊妹齊用主禱文尋求主面）
• 《主禱文》我們在天上的父：願人都尊父的名為聖。願父的國降臨；願父的旨意行
在地上，如同行在天上。我們日用的飲食，求父今日賜給我們。免我們的債，如同
我們免了人的債。不叫我們遇見試探；拯救我們脫離兇惡。因為國度、權柄、榮
耀，全是父的，直到永遠。阿們！

• 何西阿書 11:1-4，1 以色列年幼的時候，我愛他，就從埃及召出我的兒子來。2 先知越發招呼他們，他們越發走開，向諸巴力獻祭，給雕刻的偶像燒香。3 我原教導以法蓮行走，用膀臂抱著他們，他們卻不知道是我醫治他們。4 我用慈繩愛索牽引他們…
• 來到祢的寶座前，我舉起雙手讚頌，祢配得一切榮耀尊貴，祢是王掌管明天。
來到祢施恩座前，我將我的心奉獻，惟獨祢愛我天天不改變，奇妙救主我永屬祢。
慈繩愛索緊緊牽引我，為我捨身背起我罪，
護我一生飛奔展翅上騰，在主裡能得安穩。
我願一生歇力同行，讓我的心每天讚頌，
徬徨人生不擔心，因有祢伴我行，靠著祢能走出黑暗。
信息經文：約翰福音 12:23-26；創世記 12:1-3（Wai Tsun 讀，大家聽）
• 23 耶穌說：「人子得榮耀的時候到了。24 我實實在在地告訴你們：一粒麥子不落在
地裡死了，仍舊是一粒；若是死了，就結出許多子粒來。25 愛惜自己生命的，就失
喪生命；在這世上恨惡自己生命的，就要保守生命到永生。26 若有人服侍我，就當
跟從我；我在哪裡，服侍我的人也要在哪裡。若有人服侍我，我父必尊重他。
• 1 耶和華對亞伯蘭說：「你要離開本地、本族、父家，往我所要指示你的地去。2 我
必叫你成為大國，我必賜福給你，叫你的名為大，你也要叫別人得福。3…地上的
萬族都要因你得福。」

我見祂手施恩典，又聽到祂鼓勵；當我每次尋求祂，祂必在旁。（副）

靈命雞湯《The People of God — Seeking to Glorify God》（CK） Special【為香港守望 Playlist】
經過多個月的政治風波，香港再一次面臨重大的考驗，隨著新型冠狀病毒在全球持續擴散，城市都瀰漫著恐慌，
許多人生命受到威脅，心靈得不到安息。在這不平安的日子，我們盼望與一眾信徒在神裡面尋求、同行。這些年
我們創作了很多回應世情的詩歌，希望以這詩歌 playlist，與各位為這美麗的城市謙卑禱告，祈求醫治與平安。
願神憐憫這城，也看顧保守全球受苦的人﹗
一起默想「信心」的課題，重拾起初的信心和愛心，在逆境下為神照亮這個我們所愛的城市！
聽著聽著封閉的心打開了
😭哭著哭著釋放了
願自己心黑暗破碎的地方
神掌權醫治恢復
同心祈禱、讚美、祝福（CK）
為上帝得著榮耀禱告: //you called Abraham (church/us) to bless us and to mak us a blessing to the qworld/others, to reflect and declare your glory. Forgive us cos we often reverse/forgot
the order. // 親愛的上帝，世世代代都要頌讚祢的名。唯獨祢配得一切的榮耀和讚美。//
現今世界的光景並不能令祢震驚。祢的道路非同我們的道路。祢絕對不會無所適從。因
為在祢凡事都能。//所以，今天我們要宣告，祢將在病毒肆虐全球的危機中得著榮耀。
世人必 認識祢，祢的名必在遍地上被尊崇。//願祢的真光穿透黑暗。照亮一切對死亡、
經濟崩潰或長期隔離的恐懼。//日後，當我們回顧此刻的歷史時，願我們滿有喜樂，記
得這個時節所帶來的復興、盼望和平安。//求祢繼續吸引這個苦難的世界回到祢的面
前。//奉耶穌的名祈求，阿們。//奉耶穌的名祈求，阿們。

請開我眼 打開我心 明白祢有多麼深愛我
請釋放我 去我纏累 能讓我 再有力 榮耀祢
請改變我 謙卑我心 明白我有多麼需要祢
心緊靠祢 進祢懷內 容讓我 永貼近 隨著祢
祢為我釘身受死 抹去我的污穢 祢是我神 是我王 我心欣慰
我為祢張開我口 向世界高聲唱 竭力讚揚 願永傳 祢大愛
請改變我 謙卑我心 明白我有多麼需要祢

祢為我釘身受死 抹去我的污穢 祢是我神 是我王 我心欣慰
我為祢張開我口 向世界高聲唱 竭力讚揚 願永傳 祢大愛
我為祢舉起兩手 永遠高舉祢 讚頌我神 頌我王 我心所愛
我為祢傾出我心 撇棄世間貪愛 放下軟弱 願獻呈 作活祭
祢是我神 祢是我王 到永遠永頌我神 竭力讚揚 敬拜祢
信主的日子漸漸久了， 對於神驚天地的愛與救贖，我們開始習以為常和變得麻木， 當我們慢慢模糊了對神的焦點和減退了對祂的倚靠，遇到困難時便很容易失掉對祂的信心，心中只有愁煩、憂慮和不安。 今
天，願聖靈打開我們視而不見的眼睛，喚醒我們冷卻了的心， 重燃我們專一敬拜主的心。

【青草原詩歌】天天歌唱(粵)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FkP0_GDJNU
天天歌唱頌讚神慈恩，讚嘆宇宙萬千的奧祕，
多高深星宿運行原理，神造物無限細膩，
天天歌唱未怕迎狂風，有祢結伴每刻恩典夠用，
邁步浪裡衝，何妨澎湃洶湧，祢護送。
神呀！我感激恩手永不曾離開，讚歎再造厚恩不可替代，
萬事盡放開，前程由祢主宰，永沒變改。
神呀！我感激恩手永不曾離開，讚歎再造厚恩不可替代，
萬事盡放開，前程由祢主宰，祢是愛。 OR
【青草原詩歌】原來是耶穌（粵）
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMyDAHE_4hQ 是誰令我，迷霧裡覓曙光，困惑跌倒，前路也願去闖；
是誰令我，危難裡亦勇敢，世事變遷不改我路向。
是誰令我，尋著意義而活，獻奉這生，來盡發熱發光，
是誰伴我，無後悔踏遠方，也令我知真方向。
原來是耶穌，祂的愛未變；
原來是耶穌，恩手引導。
原來是耶穌，給我不死的愛，令我總不放棄。
是誰用愛，平伏往日創傷，貼近我心，除掉往日模樣；
是誰用愛，成就往日夢想，眼淚抹乾不需往後看。
是誰用愛，同渡各樣壓迫，照亮我心，無懼世俗拍擊，
是誰用愛，長路結伴去闖，也伴我走真方向。
原來是耶穌，祂的愛未變；
原來是耶穌，恩手引導。
原來是耶穌，給我不死的愛，令我總不放棄。
原來是耶穌，祂的愛未變；
原來是耶穌，恩手引導。
原來是耶穌，給我不死的愛，令我堅定前行。

1. 讚美和崇拜有什麼區別？
2. 以弗所書 1:3-14 是希臘語文中一句長句，是聖經中最長的完整的句子之一。今天只看 1:3，整個長
句子都是讚美的延續：1:3, 6, 12, 14
3. 1:3，3 願頌讚歸於我們主耶穌基督的父神！祂在基督裡曾賜給我們天上各樣屬靈的福氣，
一、風扇讚美神的火焰 — 多想下神的恩典
些少背景：
o 保羅這邊：
保羅因傳福音被監禁在羅馬，按規則他的鎖鏈是同時拴在一個羅馬士兵身上
身體雖被監禁，但心靈沒有：感恩/讚美神不取決於我們的處境
感恩讚美是因為父神 “ 3 賜給我們天上各樣屬靈的福氣（恩典）”
o 以弗所那邊：
徒行傳 19 章—大亞底米廟宇 the great Artemis；土耳其以弗所遺址廢墟
世界的銀行 bank of Asia

1. Church Easter, then chyrch series (parables), now the people of God
2. (SAY: Read scriptures) 自我介紹、問候
3. 以弗所書 1:3-14 是希臘語文中一句長句，是聖經中最長的完整的句子之一。整個長句子都是讚美的延續：1:3, 6, 12, 14。今天只 read 1:3-6 and cos of time 只看 1:3 —
but entire passage is built on praising God; hope you’ll take time to read it at home。
In this text we see the beginning of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, which starts with
praise to God. Chapter 1:3-14 is one long run-on sentence in the Greek 是希臘語文中
的一個單一完整的句子，是一句長句，是聖經中最長的完整的句子之一。. But not
only is it one sentence, it is one long praise to God 一個給神長長的讚美. See the
praise-punctuated long run-on sentence. 用逗號和句號將其分開，以方便閱讀和理
解。
In verse 3, Paul says, “3 願頌讚歸於我們主耶穌基督的父神！” In verse 6 he says, “6 使
祂榮耀的恩典得著稱讚,” then 1:12 as well “12 叫祂(God)的榮耀…可以得著稱讚。”,
and finally in verse 14, he says, “14 的榮耀得著稱讚.” Many theologians believe that Paul is actually singing a song that models a Hebrew blessing song in verses 3-14 some
teachers: 詩歌風格的讚美).
4. Then read 1:3-6
5. 讚美和崇拜有什麼區別？
Question: "What is the difference between praise and worship?" 讚美和崇拜之間有什麼區
別？
Answer: Understanding the difference between praise and worship can bring a new depth to
the way we honor the Lord. Throughout the Bible, the commands to "praise the Lord" are too
numerous to mention. Angels and the heavenly hosts are commanded to praise the Lord
(Psalm 89:5; 103:20; 148:2). All inhabitants of the earth are instructed to praise the Lord
(Psalm 138:4; Romans 15:11). We can praise Him with singing (Isaiah 12:5; Psalm 9:11), with
shouting (Psalm 33:1; 98:4), with the dance (Psalm 150:4), and with musical instruments (1
Chronicles 13:8; Psalm 108:2; 150:3-5).
Praise is the joyful recounting of all God has done for us. It is closely intertwined with
thanksgiving as we offer back to God 感謝/感激 appreciation for His mighty works on our
behalf. Praise is universal and can be applied to other relationships as well. We can praise our
family, friends, boss, or paperboy. Praise does not require anything of us. It is merely the
truthful acknowledgment of the righteous acts of another. Since God has done many
wonderful deeds, He is worthy of praise (Psalm 18:3).
Worship, however, comes from a different place within our spirits. Worship should be
reserved for God alone (Luke 4:8). Worship is the art of losing self in the adoration of another.
Praise can be a part of worship, but worship goes beyond praise. Praise is easy; worship is not
necessary so. (Cos) Worship gets to the heart of who we are. To truly worship God, we must
let go of our self-worship. We must be willing to humble ourselves before God, surrender
every part of our lives to His control, and adore Him for who He is, not just what He has done.
Worship is a lifestyle, not just an occasional activity. Jesus said the Father is seeking those who
will worship Him "in spirit and in truth — (來自)從內心和生命" (John 4:23).
In Scripture, praise is usually presented as boisterous, joyful, and uninhibited. God invites
praise of all kinds from His creation. Jesus said that if people don’t praise God, even the
"stones will cry out" (Luke 19:40). It is through true worship that we invite the Holy Spirit to
speak to us, convict us, and comfort us. Through worship, we realign our priorities with God’s
and acknowledge Him once more as the rightful Lord of our lives.
Worship is an attitude of the heart. A person can go through the outward motions and not be
worshiping (Psalm 51:16-17; Matthew 6:5-6). God sees the heart, and He desires and deserves
sincere, heartfelt praise and worship.
(Ephesians 1:3-6) versus 1:1-3 begins with an emphasis on a life of praise
Several other places in the Bible: This is not the only place where Christians are exhorted to live a life of praise. How can we live a life of constant praise? First Thessalonians 5:18 calls for us to give thanks in all things for this is God’s will for our lives. Ephesians 5:18-20 calls for us to be filled with the Spirit, to sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, making a melody in our hearts to the Lord, always giving thanks to God for everything. Christians are meant to be a people of praise and worship.
Why do we often fail at this? Why is our praise often so shallow? Some people only worship at church. Others praise God only in good times, but not when things are bad or difficult.

保羅因傳福音被監禁在羅馬，按規則他的鎖鏈是同時拴在一個羅馬士兵身上
身體雖被監禁，但心靈沒有：感恩/讚美神不取決於我們的處境
感恩讚美是因為父神 “ 3 賜給我們天上各樣屬靈的福氣（恩典）”
o 以弗所那邊：

At this time, Paul was imprisoned in Rome for preaching the gospel, but his heart was
not in prison. While chained next to a Roman soldier (這是規則), his heart was free and lost in worship. And he seeks to draw the Ephesians and us into continual worship as
well—worship not dependent upon our circumstances 崇拜不取決於我們的環境/情
況。(PPT: 保羅因傳福音被監禁在羅馬，他的金屬鏈拴在另一個羅馬士兵身上。崇

身體雖被監禁，但心靈沒有：感恩/讚美神不取決於我們的處境
感恩讚美都是因為父神 “ 3 賜給我們天上各樣屬靈的福氣（恩典）”
Background on Ephesus: In this song,
Paul praises God for the great riches given to believers in Christ (v. 3 賜給我們天上各樣
屬靈的福氣). This would have resonated 共鳴 with the Ephesians: in Ephesus the
Temple of Diana (使徒行傳 19 Great Atemis 大亞底米的廟; tour of Turkey), one of the
Seven Wonders of the World, was there, hence it was not only a center for idolatrous
worship, but also a depository for wealth as Ephesus was considered then the bank of
Asia 世界的銀行, housing some of the greatest art treasures of the ancient world. (see
the ruins and you get an idea)
However, Paul is saying that the wealth of believers 天上各樣屬靈的福氣 is even greater than that of the city. Therefore, they should praise God no matter their circumstances. This is true for us as well. (CK: at start clarifying that text is rich and loaded and we only want to see aspect of it)
Paul’s praise (and) His focus is not on his circumstances, but on the wonderful grace of God 他
保羅的重點不是他的處境，而是神的奇妙恩典. 我的希望是，當我們了解上帝為我們所做
的事情以及祂在我們身上所做的事情時，我們也可以更加全面地崇拜，並開始專注於這
些事情並更多地讚美祂。耶穌也如此，
● 希伯來書 12 ，1.…有這許多的見證人，如同雲彩圍著我們，…[我們] 存心忍耐，奔

2. 2. In Order to Live in Praise, Believers Must Focus on Their New Home—the Heavenly
Realms 為了活在讚美中，信徒們必須專注於他們的新家-天國 hmmm translation
風扇讚美神的火焰 — 多想下天上 3 願頌讚歸於我們主耶穌基督的父神！祂在基督
裡曾賜給我們天上各樣屬靈的福氣，
The 各樣屬靈的福氣 or the good/pleasant things we received COME from above 天上.
The first aspect of Paul’s praise that must stand out is the believers’ new home. He says that we have been blessed in the heavenly realms; this can be literally translated as “the heavenlies.” This is the first of five times this term is used in Ephesians, and it is not used
anywhere else in Paul’s letters — “天上” 是以弗所書中的一個重要概念— 四次。
1:3 此處
1:20 叫他[基督]在天上坐在自己的右邊
2:6 我們與基督耶穌…一同坐在天上
6:12 及天空（亦即天上）屬靈氣的惡魔爭戰
This is the paradox (矛盾?) of the believer’s existence. Even as we are right now literally on the earth, we are also literally in heaven. This is because of our position in Christ (Eph 1:3). We are
there with God our Father and Christ our Lord. We are dual citizens of earth and heaven (Phil 3:20-21).
The good things in life if focused on without God, soon it will seem that we earned it, we
deserved it, we planned for it with sweat and blood, ourself 打拼得到的.
While in prison, Paul could praise God and rejoice cos he contemplated this reality and worshiped God the Father because of it. If we lost this ID or awareness, we lost ourselves.
Secondly, we must focus on it. 歌羅西書 3:1-2, 所以，你們若真與基督一同復活，就當求在
上面（天上）的事，那裡有基督坐在神的右邊。 2 你們要思念上面（天上）的事，不要
思念地上的事，
Illustration of an ox ploughing haywire cos the boy looks at the cow
Is your mind consumed with the heavenlies? Have you set your mind on things above and not on earthly things? Or are you consumed with the things of this world? If you’re consumed with the things of this world, your praise will be weak. If we are going to live in praise even while going through trials, we must be consumed with our heavenly home.
3. In Order to Live in Praise, Believers Must Focus on Their Spiritual Blessings
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. (Ephesians 1:3)
Interpretation Questions: What does the phrase “every spiritual blessing” refer to? And what is the practical application for believers?
The next aspect of Paul’s praise to God (while in prison) focuses 一直看著 on every spiritual blessing of believers in the heavenly realms. What does Paul mean by “every spiritual blessing”? “In the New Testament pneumatikos (spiritual) is always used in relation to the work of the Holy Spirit.”4 In fact, it can be translated “all the blessings of the Spirit”—referring to the Holy Spirit of God.5
While in prison, Paul was probably not only hungry, but also lacking in basic comfort, freedom, and other physical blessings. But that did not stop him from praising God for his blessings! Being a follower of Christ does not exempt us from pain and suffering in this world. In fact, many times it increases pain and suffering. However, God does promise innumerable blessings from the Spirit.
What do these blessings from the Spirit include? We will consider many of them as we go through Ephesians 1:4-13: election, predestination as sons, redemption, etc. However, this list is not exhaustive. There is much, much more. Spiritual blessings include the fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23 says, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.”
Paul worshiped in prison because the Holy Spirit gave him joy, regardless of his circumstances. The Spirit gave him love for the churches. The Spirit gave him patience to faithfully endure his trials and deal with difficult people. The blessings of the Spirit are legion, and we should rejoice in them daily. Christ describes those who believe in him as having rivers of living water flowing “from within them” (John 7:38-39). He describes them as those who will never thirst again (John 4:14). That sounds like people who should be rejoicing!
Interpretation Questions: What about physical blessings? Does God promise to give us physical blessings as well?
In light of the above, does this mean God will not supply our physical needs as well? Contrary to the tenets of the prosperity gospel, God does not promise us earthly wealth and health. But, he does promise to meet our needs according to his riches in glory (Phil 4:19). Christ declares that we have a Father who knows our needs, and that we shouldn’t worry about what we will eat, drink, or wear (Matt 6:25-34). Paul says that since God has already given us his best—his Son—surely he will give us all things (Rom 8:32). Yes, we can be sure God will meet all our needs on this earth. Charles Spurgeon says,
“He that gives us heaven will surely give us all that is needful on the road thither.” And, “We shall have enough spending money on the road to glory; for he who has guaranteed to bring us there will not starve us along the way.”6
With that said, how do we receive these spiritual blessings in the heavenly places? How can we access the wealth that the Spirit of God supplies to believers?
3. In Order to Live in Praise, Believers Must Focus on Their Union with Christ
風扇讚美神的火焰 — 多想下與基督接聯
Who gave us all the blessings? Who links and credentials us to belong to heaven? Jesus! 3 願
頌讚歸於我們主耶穌基督的父神！祂在基督裡曾賜給我們天上各樣屬靈的福氣（恩
典）， (Ephesians 1:3)
The third thing we must focus on if we are going to live in praise is our 與基督聯合 union with Christ. Scripture teaches that when we were born again, we were united with Christ. When we were saved, we were united with Christ and became members of his body.
Now God no longer sees us in our sins, but he sees us in Christ. We are not accepted because of anything we have done; we are accepted because of Christ.
We are the righteousness of God because God sees us in the Son — the righteous Son living in us.
This is our new position; we are in Christ. And Paul’s focus on this is seen in how he refers to
our positon in Christ, in various ways 在基督裡, 6 times just in Chapter 1: Eph 1:1, 3, 4, 10, 12, 20
How to increase your praise output?
Praise Him because he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. // We should praise him continually because we have been redeemed from sin. //We should rejoice because we have every spiritual blessing in Christ. // In Adam, we had sin, condemnation, and shame. But in Christ we have forgiveness, honor, and power—every spiritual blessing.
This must be our focus and our joy while on this earth. We must rejoice in our position in
Christ 與基督聯合. Are you still rejoicing in your position in Christ?
A sacrifice of praise (希伯來書 Hebrews 13:15 15 我們應當靠著耶穌，常常以頌讚為祭獻
給神，這就是那承認主名之人嘴唇的果子。)?"
頌讚的易與不易
頌讚為祭
To praise God in those times requires personal sacrifice. 在那種情況下讚美神需要一點
代價/犧牲/是一個願意/是一個選擇/是一個相信/因著愛
13:15 是命令和“常常/不要中斷”
來自謙卑的心
來自儘管苦痛卻選擇尊榮上帝的心態
那承認主名之人嘴唇的果子
Answer: Hebrews 13:15 says, "Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a
sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name." The terms sacrifice and
praise might seem to be opposites 祭和讚美似乎是相反的. We think of sacrifice as offering
something at great cost to ourselves. Praise, on the other hand, sounds joyful as it bubbles
from a grateful heart. However, in the spiritual realm of knowing God 在認識神的過程中,
sacrifice and praise are intertwined.
Praise does not always cost us something. We praise our dogs for fetching the ball and people
for a job well done. Praise is often our response to some action that directly benefits us, and
we feel generous because we extend it. We often find it easy to praise God from the same
motivation. When He has blessed us, helped us, and protected us, we feel generous toward
Him. We can sing, worship, and talk about how good He is because we can see it. That kind of
praise, although worthwhile, does not cost us anything. It is not a sacrifice.
讚美不一定總是要我們付出代價，某些我們贊一下我們的寵物....但祭…
Then there are those times when God did not come through the way we thought He would.
The medical test comes back positive. The spouse wants a divorce. A child is wayward. The
mortgage company calls in the loan. God seems very far away, and praise is the last thing to
bubble up from our hearts. We can’t see His goodness, and circumstances scream that He has
forgotten us.
To praise God in those times requires personal sacrifice. 在在那種情況下讚美神需要一
點代價/犧牲 It takes an act of the will to lay our all on the altar before a God we don’t
understand. When we bring a "sacrifice of praise," we choose to believe that, even
though life is not going as we think it should, God is still good and can be trusted (Psalm
135:2; Nahum 1:7). When we choose to praise God in spite of the storms, He is honored,
and our faith grows deeper (Malachi 3:13-17; Job 13:15).
Funglien’s illsutration: no bone fracture; hand never been so beautiful — no wrinkles
😊
The command in Hebrews 13:15 says that this sacrifice is to be offered "continually." 希伯來
書 13:15 是命令和“常常/不要中斷”。Our praise of God is not to be based on our opinion of
His job performance. Praise cannot be treated as a "reward" we give God for His obvious
blessings. Isaiah 29:13 says, "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me
with their lips, but their hearts are far from me." Real praise continues regardless of
circumstances. It flows continually from a worshiping heart in good times and bad (Acts
16:23-25).
The "sacrifice of praise" comes from a humble heart 來自謙卑的心 that has been purified by
fire. It rises from a spirit that has chosen to honor God in spite of the pain that life is causing
來自儘管痛苦卻選擇尊敬上帝的心態. Psalm 51:16-17 expresses this idea when it says, "You
do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. My
sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise."

癱子朋友的信心 （福音書合參）
路加福音 5:17 有一天，耶穌教訓(導)人，有法利賽人和教法師在旁邊坐著；他們是從加利利各鄉
村和猶太並耶路撒冷來的。主的能力與耶穌同在，使他能醫治病人。 18 有人用褥子抬著一個癱
子，要抬進去放在耶穌面前， 19 卻因人多，尋不出法子抬進去，就上了房頂，從瓦間把他連褥
子縋到當中，正在耶穌面前。 20 耶穌見他們的信心，就對癱子說：「你的罪赦了。」 21 文士和
法利賽人就議論說：「這說僭妄話的是誰？除了 神以外，誰能赦罪呢？」 22 耶穌知道他們所議
論的，就說：「你們心裏議論的是甚麼呢？ 23 或說『你的罪赦了』，或說『你起來行走』，哪
一樣容易呢？ 24 但要叫你們知道，人子在地上有赦罪的權柄。」就對癱子說：「我吩咐你，起
來，拿你的褥子回家去吧！」 25 那人當眾人面前立刻起來，拿著他所躺臥的褥子回家去，歸榮
耀與 神。 26 眾人都驚奇，也歸榮耀與 神，並且滿心懼怕，說：「我們今日看見非常的事了。」
馬太福音 9:1 耶穌上了船，渡過海，來到自己的城裏。 2 有人用褥子抬著一個癱子到耶穌跟前
來。耶穌見他們的信心，就對癱子說：「小子，放心吧！你的罪赦了。」 3 有幾個文士心裏說：
「這個人說僭妄的話了。」 4 耶穌知道他們的心意，就說：「你們為甚麼心裏懷著惡念呢？ 5 或
說『你的罪赦了』，或說『你起來行走』，哪一樣容易呢？6 但要叫你們知道，人子在地上有赦
罪的權柄」；就對癱子說：「起來！拿你的褥子回家去吧。」 7 那人就起來，回家去了。 8 眾人
看見都驚奇，就歸榮耀與 神，因為他將這樣的權柄賜給人。
馬可福音 2:1 過了些日子，耶穌又進了迦百農。人聽見他在房子裏， 2 就有許多人聚集，甚至連
門前都沒有空地；耶穌就對他們講道。 3 有人帶著一個癱子來見耶穌，是用四個人抬來的； 4 因
為人多，不得近前，就把耶穌所在的房子，拆了房頂，既拆通了，就把癱子連所躺臥的褥子都縋
下來。 5 耶穌見他們的信心，就對癱子說：「小子，你的罪赦了。」 6 有幾個文士坐在那裏，心
裏議論，說： 7 「這個人為甚麼這樣說呢？他說僭妄的話了。除了 神以外，誰能赦罪呢？」 8
耶穌心中知道他們心裏這樣議論，就說：「你們心裏為甚麼這樣議論呢？ 9 或對癱子說『你的罪
赦了』，或說『起來！拿你的褥子行走』；哪一樣容易呢？10 但要叫你們知道，人子在地上有
赦罪的權柄。」就對癱子說： 11 「我吩咐你，起來！拿你的褥子回家去吧。」 12 那人就起來，
立刻拿著褥子，當眾人面前出去了，以致眾人都驚奇，歸榮耀與 神，說：「我們從來沒有見過
這樣的事！」
路加福音從 5:17 起到 6:11 止，連續用五個故事，描寫耶穌和猶太人宗教領袖發生很大的衝突。從那時
起，宗教領袖們敵對的態度和行動就開始顯露出來了。今天我們要看第一件這樣的事，這事仍發生在迦
百農。
由於耶穌的名聲已四處傳揚，所以各地(包括耶路撒冷)的猶太人宗教領袖也上門來查個究竟。當天，有
人拆了眾人聚會的房頂，把一個癱子縋下來到耶穌面前。看見他們不計任何艱辛，把癱子帶來求醫治的
信心，耶穌就對癱子說：「你的罪赦了」(20 節)。這句話引起了宗教領袖們的反感， 他們不願承認耶
穌是神，就只好指稱耶穌說僭妄的話 (21 節)。
主耶穌進而證明給他們看，祂已真正赦免了那人的罪。祂問他們：「說『你的罪赦了』，或說『你起來
行走』，哪一樣容易呢？(23 節)」這句話的妙處是：若用嘴巴說說「你的罪赦了」很容易，因為沒有方
法可證明罪真的蒙赦免了；但如果說「你起來行走」，則是需要權柄能力的，必須真的叫病人起來行
走，讓人看得見。
其實，無論是「叫癱子起來行走」或是「赦免人的罪」，都只有神才能做得到。法利賽人「看不見」那
人的罪已蒙赦免，因此他們不會相信；但耶穌施行一個他們能夠「看得見」的神蹟，證明祂有權柄能力
做那「看不見」的——赦免那人的罪，也叫宗教領袖們啞口無言。
請注意，主耶穌做事的次序是：(1)「看見他們的信心」(20 節)。(2)「你的罪赦了」(20 節)。(3)「拿你
的褥子回家(治病)」(24 節)。 這個次序是非常重要的，我們在主耶穌所行的其他神蹟裡也可以看到。這
與一般人向主耶穌所要求的次序剛好相反。藉著這個神蹟，耶穌讓我們看見「赦免」及「醫治」的關
係：赦免在先、醫治在後，醫治之前先有赦免，赦免重於醫治也先於醫治。 (insert somewhere: there are no atheist before the afce of ddeath. You will naturally think about hereafter
when death stares you in the face.) 肉體得醫治固然值得欣喜，但若靈魂得不著赦免，則仍然沒有解決問
題。治病趕鬼是醫治肉體，但不如人的罪得赦免重要。耶穌一再用不同的方式叫人知道，祂不是單為解
除人肉體的痛苦，而是為恢復人與神的交通到地上來的。「罪」是人類患難痛苦的主因，若不解決罪的
問題，人的痛苦不會停止。當日的人不瞭解這個真理，今天的許多人也還是不瞭解。親愛的弟兄姊妹，
願你我都真正瞭解這個真理。
1. 帶癱子來的人可能是他的親友，你從何看出他們的「信心」？(18-19 節)
2. (續) 思考：他們為什麼對耶穌這麼有信心？
3. 耶穌見到這癱子的第一句話是什麼？(20 節)
4. (續) 思考：耶穌為什麼先說「你的罪赦了」(20 節)，而不是立即的醫好癱子呢？
5. (續) 思考：從耶穌的話中來體會，這個癱子的真正需要是什麼？
6. 對癱子來說，他自己覺得最需要的是什麼？
7. (續) 對耶穌來說，祂覺得這癱子最需要的是什麼？
8. (續) 思考：這癱子最後得到了他自己認為最需要的了嗎？如何得到的？
9. (續) 思考：你覺得，這一點告訴我們什麼功課，是我們可以學習的？
10. 耶穌對文士和法利賽人說：「或說『你的罪赦了』，或說『你起來行走』，哪一樣容易呢？(23
節)」你覺得何者容易？
11. 注意：當耶穌赦免了癱子的罪以後，癱子還是不能立刻起來行走。癱子什麼時候才能行走？
12. (續) 耶穌行此神蹟——使癱子起來行走——的目的為何？(24 節)
13. (續) 思考：「罪得赦免」與「病得醫治」有無必然的關係？為什麼？
14. 從耶穌對待癱子一事：看見他們的信心，到赦罪，再到醫治。可看出耶穌心目中最重視什麼嗎？
15. (續) 思考：為什麼耶穌所重視的與一般人如此不同？
16. 「眾人都驚奇......看見『非常的事』了。」(26 節) 這「非常的事」是指癱子得醫治？還是耶穌有
赦罪的權柄？(20,24 節)。
17. (應用) 從今天的經文中，我學到什麼屬靈的功課，是可以在生活中應用的？
18. 你認為：「罪得赦免」和「病得醫治 」那一個重要？如果你只能二者選一，你會選那一樣？你
知道耶 穌喜悅那一項？
19. (續) 如果你喜歡的與耶穌喜歡的不一樣，你會怎麼做？
20. 假設你是那癱子，如果耶穌赦免了你的罪之後，卻沒有治你的病，你會如何反應？你還會「歸榮
耀給 神」嗎？
21. 「文士和法利賽人」代表宗教界裏有知識和地位的人士；他們只知定罪別人，卻不知自己是在罪
惡 裏。我們都不喜歡他們，但卻又常作與他們相同的事——自以為義。比如說：反省一下，你
最近一次 「論斷人」是什麼時候？你知道聖經對這種行為是怎麼說的嗎(參羅馬書 2:1-3)？
22. 你願意作個「抬癱子去見耶穌」的人嗎？那意味著你必須付代價，且必須忍受別人異樣的眼光，
你願意嗎？你願意「千方百計」、「不計代價」地帶人去見耶穌嗎？
PRAYER: 主啊，在祢有赦罪的恩典，在祢有無盡的憐憫，謝謝祢赦免我的罪，洗凈我一切的不義！求祢
幫助我，成為 一個把人帶到祢面前的人。奉耶穌基督的名，阿們！ Intro: Star-spangled Banner (yesterday Fellowship) was a prayer >> freedom in America (masks; lockdown),
today we look at a different of freedom in the Bible. 路加福音從 5:17 起到 6:11 止，連續用五個故事，描
寫耶穌和猶太人宗教領袖發生很大的衝突。從那時起，宗教領袖們敵對的態度和行動就開始顯露出來
了。今天我們要看第一件這樣的 conflict 事，這事仍發生在迦百農 situated at northern end of the sea of
Galilee。
由於耶穌的名聲已四處傳揚 (series of miracles and healing and casting out demons in Luke 5, Mt 8-9, Mk 1-2
by then)，所以各地(包括耶路撒冷)的猶太人宗教領袖也上門來查個究竟。當天，有人拆了眾人聚會的房
頂，把一個癱子縋下來到耶穌面前。看見他們不計任何艱辛，把癱子帶來求醫治的信心，耶穌就對癱子
說：「你的罪赦了 God forgives you」(20 節)。A n excellent kind word to the paralytic who back in those
days folks thought sickness was directly due to one’s sin Ps 103 but… 這句話引起了宗教領袖們的反感， 他
們不願承認耶穌是神，就只好指稱耶穌說僭妄的話 (21 節)。
主耶穌進而證明給他們看，祂已真正赦免了那人的罪。祂問他們：「說『你的罪赦了』，或說『你起來
行走』，哪一樣容易呢？(23 節)」這句話的妙處是：若用嘴巴說說「你的罪赦了」很容易，因為沒有方
法可證明罪真的蒙赦免了；但如果說「你起來行走」，則是需要權柄能力的，必須真的叫病人起來行
走，讓人看得見。But Jewish leaders not even entertaining this kind word form Jesus.
其實，無論是「叫癱子起來行走」或是「赦免人的罪」，都只有神才能做得到。法利賽人「看不見」那
人的罪已蒙赦免，因此他們不會相信；但耶穌施行一個他們能夠「看得見」的神蹟，證明祂有權柄能力
做那「看不見」的——赦免那人的罪，也叫宗教領袖們啞口無言。
Paralytic, what does he desired most? Physical healing. Yet Jesys’ first word was about sin forgiven. Not quite what he was looking for perhaps. Sometimes God’s way and process is not what we might anticipate.
請注意，主耶穌做事的次序是：(1)「看見他們的信心」(20 節)。(2)「你的罪赦了」(20 節)。(3)「拿你
的褥子回家(治病)」(24 節)。
這個次序是非常重要的，我們在主耶穌所行的其他神蹟裡也可以看到。這與一般人向主耶穌所要
求的次序剛好相反。藉著這個神蹟，耶穌讓我們看見「赦免」及「醫治」的關係：赦免在先、醫
治在後，醫治之前先有赦免，赦免重於醫治也先於醫治。The physical before the spiritual, but God “works the opposite”.
(insert somewhere: there are no atheist before the afce of ddeath. You will naturally think about hereafter
when death stares you in the face.) 肉體得醫治固然值得欣喜，但若靈魂得不著赦免，則仍然沒有解決問
題。治病趕鬼是醫治肉體，但不如人的罪得赦免重要。耶穌一再用不同的方式叫人知道，祂不是單單為
解除人肉體的痛苦，而是為恢復人與神的交通到地上來的 — herein a very important lesson and that’s why
many people wrongly look at Jesus as Guang Ying。「罪」是人類患難痛苦的主因，若不解決罪的問題，
人的痛苦不會停止。當日的人不瞭解這個真理，今天的許多人也還是不瞭解。親愛的弟兄姊妹，願你我
都真正瞭解這個真理。
Paralytic desired freedom from his illness/condition, but spiritual freedom from sin is more critical than physical deliverance from ailment.
Placed right at the feet of our Lord is a man whose life has been decidedly unfree.
a. A paralytic. His ailment, his problem, had become his very identity. But there he is, after many long years no doubt, lying there in a true act of faith. What follows speaks to us very profoundly. It dismantles one of the devil’s oldest tactics: tie our sins so closely to us we identify with them and cease to think of ourselves in any other light. That lie is why we’re so often tempted to delay asking for mercy: “I know I’m just going to keep doing the same thing, so what’s the point.” It tempts us to admit defeat even before walking out the door of the confessional: “Yes, I suppose I’ve been forgiven. But I
don’t feel any different. I’m still lying in the same old blanket. — 是的，我想我應該已經被原諒了。但是我沒有感覺什麼不同。癱子對神的良善充滿信心
These patterns of thought are a trap, a kind of blackmail. Preoccupied with the past or discouraged by a supposedly inevitable future, we feel walled in by our own weakness. There is only one antidote and it’s very simple. So simple, in fact, we have a hard time with it: confidence in God’s goodness.
Does this mean sin is a good thing? Certainly not. It simply means the Lord co-opts even our failures as an occasion to love us, leaving the devil without a leg to stand on.
Don’t let your past OR PRESENT hold you ransom.
Let us not miss the wonders of God’s providence here: Had this man not been paralyzed, not had this weakness, who knows where he would have been that day? He might have been dismissive of Jesus, having convinced himself he had no need for the Son of God. Or, had he been so focused on his paralysis as to cease hoping for a life of freedom and mobility, he would not have bothered with being brought to Jesus. And had Jesus performed the miracle straight away the man might have gleefully run off () too happy to talk about forgiveness cos he could walk now!)! Grateful, yes, but still lacking his deeper freedom, never having heard
those words which continue to resound: 20 你的罪赦了。Child. Your sins are forgiven. God works and he
can and he will work in your situation, in church’s situation!!! DO WE BELIEVE THAT?!
1. 20 耶穌見他們的信心，就對癱子說：「你的罪赦了。」Paralytic still has to do it himself. 從耶穌對待癱子一事：看見他們的信心，到赦罪，再到醫治。可看出耶穌心目中最重
視什麼嗎？
Sometimes what we seek after is good but it can hinder us from knowing God: Colgate 高露潔 (mom taught him to revere and love God). His wealth did not become a burden or locking him down, instead it was a blessing to many: university, charity, country etc. Nrothers and sisters, rehardless of what you are seeking or ailment or mental, do not let it stumble you. Let it be one of the carrier bringing you before God.
1. 你願意作個「抬癱子去見耶穌」的人嗎？那意味著你必須付代價，且必須忍受別人異樣的眼光，
你願意嗎？你願意「千方百計」、「不計代價」地帶人去見耶穌嗎？
Indeed, to be on our knees before the Lord—to be lying at his feet—means all our illusions of self-sufficiency have vanished, and we’re in the best posture possible for receiving everything from Jesus.
This is the way to get to the heart of liberty, and make every day an Independence Day. I love that snippet from Emma Lazarus’ poem, the one mounted in the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. With her weathered green skin, Lady Liberty stands proud and tall: visited by millions of tourists each year,
acknowledged by tens of thousands in the midst of their daily commute on the ferry, perpetually glanced at by joggers and cyclists warding off their urban claustrophobia. In fact, when I lived at St. Joseph’s in Greenwich Village I would often walk south along the Hudson River for a chance to stretch the legs and breathe some fresh air myself. I’d soon see the matron of Liberty Island off in the distance, remembering that, since I am part Lebanese, some of my own ancestors were likely greeted by her. For freedom Christ set us free (Galatians 5:1) The Gospel that falls on the Fourth of July this year provides a perfect meditation for our holiday: Jesus came into his own town. And there people brought to him a paralytic lying on a stretcher (cf. Mt 9:1-2). Placed right at the feet of our Lord is a man whose life has been decidedly unfree. A paralytic. His ailment, his problem, had become his very identity. But there he is, after many long years no doubt, lying there in a true act of faith. What follows speaks to us very profoundly. It dismantles one of the devil’s oldest tactics: tie our sins so closely to us we identify with them and cease to think of ourselves in any other light. That lie is why we’re so often tempted to delay asking for mercy: “I know I’m just going to keep doing the same thing, so what’s the point.” It tempts us to admit defeat even before walking out the door of the confessional: “Yes, I suppose I’ve been forgiven. But I don’t feel any different. I know I will just keep doing the same things.” These patterns of thought are a trap, a kind of blackmail. Preoccupied with the past or discouraged by a supposedly inevitable future, we feel walled in by our own weakness. There is only one antidote and it’s very simple. So simple, in fact, we have a hard time with it: confidence in God’s goodness. “We must have confidence,” wrote Father Jean d’Elbée, “not in spite of our miseries but because of them, since it is misery which attracts mercy.” St. Paul believed it too: He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that Christ may dwell with me (2 Corinthians 12:9). Does this mean sin is a good thing? Certainly not. It simply means the Lord co-opts even our failures as an occasion to love us, leaving the devil without a leg to stand on. Don’t let your past hold you ransom. First things first 20 耶穌見他們的信心，就對癱子說：「你的罪赦了。」
Courage, child. The first words out of Jesus’ mouth are stunning in their simplicity, intimacy, and warmth. In other words, “Before anything else, I am confirming your faith and infusing into your soul confidence. I am adopting you. Lift up your heart, for you must no longer think of yourself merely as ‘a paralytic.’ I give you a new identity in me: Child. Your sins are forgiven.” To some it was an outrageous blasphemy: “Forgiveness of sins? Impossible!” It’s only at that moment, to convert the hearts of those still troubled, that Jesus performs the miracle.
Let us not miss the wonders of God’s providence here: Had this man not been paralyzed, not had this weakness, who knows where he would have been that day? He might have been dismissive of Jesus, having convinced himself he had no need for the Son of God.

This week he wrote me with fresh insights about our national motto, “In God We Trust.” I want to share some of them with you. Then I’d like to pass along additional reflections Newton stirred up in me about the motto. This blog post is meant to enrich your 2018 celebrations of this Fourth of July—by focusing on how the Lord Jesus can bring us as a nation into the fullest implications of our motto in order for America to truly realize the destiny God wants for her.
What an Audacious Claim for Any Nation to Make!
Listen to what Newton (his friends call him Carl) thinks about the claim we state on all our money: What would move a nation with such bold authority as to inscribe on its currency, “In God We Trust”? No mystery—this is the working power of God himself inspiring a nation that He is the sole source of their revenue. You can’t find a dollar without finding God. This currency penetrates the nations where the Bible is refused and banned, with resounding testimony of a whole nation: “In God We Trust”! We have nothing for Caesar. All we have belongs to God. How humbling a way for a nation to honor its Creator. He’s right, you know. Never in history has any other nation (other than ancient Israel) dared to assume such a claim about its entire population. How did this come about? Although at different points in our history the phrase had been incorporated into hymns and patriotic songs, “In God We Trust” was voted into law as the official motto of the United States in 1956 because of the ominous threat of atheistic Communism during the Cold War at mid-20th century. It was a unanimous Joint Resolution of the 84th Congress, signed by President Dwight Eisenhower. It declared that as our national motto, the words must appear on all American currency, both paper and coin. Shortly after, these words were placed above the dais in the House chamber (between the clock and flag). All of that is well and good—and positive. Yet, the very wording forces me to ask two prior questions: 1. Out of all the deities on planet earth, including a colorful array worshipped in our own land, which god are we being called to trust in? Does knowing this make any difference concerning our strength and fate as a people? 2. Once we settle that question, what are we to trust this god for? In fact, what does “trust” really mean for a whole nation? Is it something we as Americans even know how to do? My initial thoughts follow. I would enjoy hearing from you about how you might answer these same two questions.
WHO Do You Trust? Beyond question, when it came to “God,” our Founding Fathers—including most of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence—held to a vague, remote, providential personality. He was veiled in mystery, responsible for the creation of the cosmos, designer of the human race, generally in charge of the outworking of nature and history, and willing at times to intervene in the affairs of peoples. Thus, they concluded that among the “laws of nature” built into running his universe was the principle that all humans are equal by virtue of having the same Creator—equal in terms of three indisputable rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Beyond that, it was anybody’s guess. John Adams saw God as a stern, New England, Old Testament-shaded Being. Thomas Jefferson saw him as merely a benevolent force, which is why he literally used scissors to cut out of the four Gospels everything (like all the miracles) that showed Jesus to be anything more than a wise and determined social reformer. In his first inaugural address, George Washington portrayed God as “Divine Providence” (leaving a lot to the imagination as to what that might include). By the time we get to Abraham Lincoln, “God” had pretty much distilled into the personage envisioned by most Americans today—a generic though semi-personable, intelligent but enigmatic sovereign and lofty figurehead for a civil religion readily embraced by most Americans. He was a god to call on at times of national mourning, in the midst of violent war, during annual celebrations, in times of natural disasters. In his 600-page watershed study, America’s God, Mark Noll, Notre Dame University’s distinguished professor of history, establishes that by the time of the Civil War, the concept of God in our nation, in both the North and South, had been tragically “brought down by the . . . synthesis of Christian theology and American ideology.” Thus, our national religious overtures have been infected by a sub-biblical view of deity, leaving us with a watered-down concept of the Almighty. Noll purports that America’s “God” had become merely the prime moral governor, lawgiver, judge, and dispenser of rewards and penalties (not unlike the Islam’s Allah in many ways). He concludes at one point: By the opening year of Lincoln’s presidency, the Christian view of God had essentially been “trivialized” and replaced. In other words, America’s “God,” our jointly embraced Higher Power, is found to be far off the mark of the claims about God in the New Testament. Jesus nails the difference for us in John 14:
I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him . . . Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, “Show us the Father”? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? (emphasis added). Scores of other New Testament writings back up his claim, but there’s not enough space to present them here. But the conclusion is inescapable: No Jesus. No God. Know Jesus. Know God. It’s that simple. And that profound. On this 4th of July, we need to come to grips with how pervasive in our land is the concept of a distant, tolerant, shiftshaping, grandfatherly, “generic God” who sits at the head of our national civil religion. Unwittingly for most, but practically speaking, day to day this is the “God” whom we claim to trust as a people. This is the “God” who adorns our currency. This brings me to my fundamental premise in this blog post: If America is to survive and thrive, it will be by divine intervention and reclamation, by the transforming power and grace coming from the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ—the one true God before whom there is no other. Therefore, for decades now I have called for the only hope we have as a nation: We must as a people experience a profound, pervasive, Spirit-driven, nationwide awakening to the supremacy and majesty, to the greatness and glory, to the all-sufficient redeeming reign of God’s sovereign, saving Son—Lord of the nations and ruler of the kings of the earth (Revelation 1)—Jesus. This is the One of whom the Bible says in Colossians 1:15-20 (making him the only hope for America): We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God’s original purpose in everything created. For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. And when it comes to the church, he organizes and holds it together, like a head does a body. He was supreme in the beginning and—leading the resurrection parade—he is supreme in the end. From beginning to end he’s there, towering far above everything, everyone. So spacious is he, so roomy, that everything of God finds its proper place in him without crowding. Not only that, but all the broken and dislocated pieces of the universe . . . get properly fixed and fit together in vibrant harmonies, all because of his death, his blood that poured down from the cross (The Message, emphasis added).
Who Do You TRUST?
The dictionary defines TRUST as: “A firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something.” Have you ever experienced anything like the picture above—where you’ve been on a hike in rugged territory and found yourself in a fix with only one option: to reach out, take another’s offer to pull you to safety and trust that person to do what they claim they are able and willing to do? How did it make you feel knowing someone was there for you, in whom you could put total confidence in a moment of helplessness? On the other hand, have you endured a relationship where you concluded, as in the title of this popular Prince ballad: “Eye Love U But Eye Don’t Trust U Anymore.” Trust can easily be dashed to pieces if it is placed in the wrong person for the wrong reason in the wrong way. As noted above, when we say, “In God We Trust,” first we need to decide which “God” we’re trusting: What’s his nature? What is he up to? What are his promises? Where is his power? How do we find him and how do we make contact with him? Important questions. Rather, trust is having “a firm belief” in the totality of who that “God” is and what he offers and then putting ourselves into his hands. Taking a step further: Trust, as used in our motto, requires a commitment to that “God,” a surrender to what that greater Person is ready to do, a willful abandonment to him—in the way patients submit to a surgeon and his skills as they go under the anesthesia. Once again, there’s only one totally reliable option to “trust” for true wholeness—for restoration as an individual or as a nation. The Bible brings us back exclusively to the Lord Jesus Christ, who said at the opening verse of that same section of John 14: “Trust in God. Trust also in me.” Fundamentally, Jesus meant one thing. He was saying to all believers—to all Americans who claim to have faith in God—something like this: You started out trusting God without fully knowing all he is. Now, however, I have been among you and you have been introduced to the fullness of the living God as you’ve grown closer to me, because the Father and I are one—one in essence, in nature, in purpose, in power. So then, take up the trust in God you’ve experienced until now; take it and transfer it and expand it and anchor it in me as God’s Son and your Savior, Lord of all, Hope of the nations, Healer of broken hearts, Fountain of all wisdom, Renovator of the entire universe. This brings me once again to my fundamental premise in this blog post: If America is to survive and thrive, it will be by divine intervention and reclamation, by the transforming power and grace coming from the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ—the one true God before whom there is no other. Therefore, for decades now I have called for the only hope we have as a nation: We must as a people experience a profound, pervasive, Spirit-driven, nationwide awakening to the supremacy and majesty, to the greatness and glory, to the all-sufficient redeeming reign of God’s sovereign, saving Son—Lord of the nations and ruler of the kings of the earth (Revelation 1)—Jesus. Our nation must become saturated with the reality of the REAL and TRUE God, who is none other than the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our nation must become saturated with a life of DEPENDENCE and RELIANCE and wholesale COMMITMENT to God’s Son as the One who brings us to the Father, shows us the Father, unleashes upon us the promises of the Father, and carries us forward in the purposes of the Father. That is just as true for a nation of 360 million other Americans as it is for each one of us who can say, “this land is my land.”
Turn This “Independence Day” Into the Beginning of “DEPENDENCE Day” for You!
Take five minutes—or more!—on July 4th to pray for nothing less in this hour than a nationwide Christ Awakening movement that will awaken and revolutionize our churches first of all and then spread across our whole land, beginning with a fresh encounter with the wonders of God’s Son in your own life. Then take time to ponder the words from the radical Christ proclaimer, Martin Luther, in his introduction to his commentary on the Book of Romans: TRUST in Christ is a living, creative, active and powerful thing. . . . It is a bold TRUST in God’s grace, so certain of God’s favor in Christ that it would risk death a thousand times TRUSTING in Christ. Such confidence and knowledge make you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, while you love and praise the God who has shown you such grace through his Son (emphasis added).
What if this approach became the way of life for every American who claims that
“In God We Trust”? Again, I would enjoy hearing your thoughts on this topic.

“講道從來都不能夠使不禱告的靈魂受教。Preaching never edifies a prayerless soul.” ― E.M. Bounds, Power Through Prayer
“The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking Him the rest of the day. If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day.” ― E.M. Bounds
“當信仰停止祈禱時，它就不再活下去。When faith ceases to pray, it ceases to live.” ― E.M. Bounds 白邦茲 “Nothing is well done without prayer for the simple reason that it leaves God out of the account.” ― E.M. Bounds, Weapon of Prayer

為妳，我的祖國，甜美自由之地，為妳歌唱；
先輩們的土地，朝聖者之自豪，
在每一處山崗，讓自由迴盪！
My native country, thee, Land of the noble free, Thy name I love; I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills; My heart with rapture thrills, like that above.
妳，我的祖國，自由勇者之地，是我所愛；
愛妳岩石、小溪，山林聖殿遍佈；我心欣喜顫動，如天上之心。
Let music swell the breeze, and ring from all the trees sweet freedom's song; Let mortal tongues awake; let all that breathe partake; Let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong.
讓音樂隨風長，樹林間迴盪著，自由美歌；
讓眾人口甦醒；讓眾生靈參與；讓岩石破寂靜，樂聲延續。
Our fathers' God to Thee, Author of liberty, to Thee we sing. Long may our land be bright, with freedom's holy light, Protect us by Thy might, great God our King.
為祢，祖先的神，自由的締造者，為祢歌唱。
讓這地永光明，自由神聖之光，祢大能保護我們，聖神吾王。

雙足印
全因為你 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AWdsW86LAE
常言道：人生像演戲，回看這生精彩：因有你， 人在世永恆何在？或如流星閃耀掠過，是你令我人生
找到靠依。 死蔭幽谷中，你伴我過渡，歡欣裡，風光裡你共我同在； 當身處孤單傷痛，來擁我入懷，
你是我神，是我奇妙救恩。 全因為你，令我一生都佳美，你令我生命從空虛，化做傳奇； 無論我壯如
紅日，或如黃昏般漸漸老，是你令我如鷹般高飛。 全因為你，令我一生都佳美，你令我生命從空虛，
化做傳奇； 唯獨你是我拯救，我總不至死，直到永遠，從心底讚美！
足印 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlYP3gkaNYM 歌詞： 憶當天的那段舊夢，祂仿似與我夜裡共行； 沙灘中的每段道路，編出你與我兩雙足印； 漫漫路
無論多少崎嶇，都有基督緊握我手； 遇寂寞但也不孤單，明白你是共行。 祂當天親身的應許，祂必會
與我伴結前行； 一生中的每段道路，都必會帶領我經過； 路漸盡回望我的一生，雖有祂一起的腳蹤，
但絕望並困境之中，全是孤單足印。 每次我心中多悲傷，祂怎卻遠去剩我獨行； 每次我感到是寂寞，
祂怎卻遠去剩我孤單； 默默地在我身邊的主，跟我低聲輕輕說出； 「在絕望路裡的一雙，原是我的足
印。」 副歌：回望我過去多少的失意，但你每次每次也在旁， 是你抹我淚痕，是你揹我經過，
明白到有你居於心深處，我不再是獨行（我不再迷路向）， 前路有你共行，留下雙雙足印。

愛的印記 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhoREkEibHQ 沒法想像，十架之上， 是神犧牲的愛。 被掛於木頭，汗血灑遍地， 來為我潔淨洗罪。 付上一切，為我捨命，
換來更新的我。 十架的記號，烙印心坎內， 常念記救贖主的愛。 神大愛，緊伴我， 是救主默然擔我罪。 我這
生，原屬你， 有著你愛的印記。 盡我心意，頌讚不斷， 主愛深刻真摰。 每一刻每天我願全奉獻， 隨著你的腳
步不改變。
