Rush weekday - 2

Yes, that Friday, we all had to skip our fellowship meeting.

But, I’m kind of feeling that I don’t want to go back the fellowship later on, maybe I should spend more time myself instead, do some bible study on my own or write more on my own blog, I have like more than 4 hundred of the drafts waiting for me to finish them. 

Just a thought

Dear all,

A thought came into my mind. The other day I had a short conversation with pastor David about how maybe we should expand the English young adult fellowship into English adult fellowship in order to include more adults into this existed fellowship especially for those English speaking parents whom their kids always come to Friday youth fellowship.

I totally agree with him and feel really sorry about we are kind of let out some other English speaking brothers and sisters, not on purpose though, and we can actually do something now, yes, right now, right away.

Just my opinion that as long as there are 3 and up of people, then it can be a fellowship already. We don't have to wait until like what, 10 or 20 people to form a fellowship. I hope you do agree with me.

Since this coming Friday, our fellowship isn't going to have the regular meeting. I'm hoping that we can a first unofficial English adult fellowship meeting this coming Friday to hear their voices about this thought. We could invite English speaking parents and adults with or without either younger or older kids to join.

Please note that what I suggest here, is to form a new group, other than the young adult fellowship that we already have now. Also not have the limitation only to parents or married brothers and sisters.

And I truly don't want to pull out any brothers or sisters out of their own fellowship unless they moved by the Holy Spirit.

Please advise.

Lord's love never fail, yet discipline strictly.

Good thing is I'm not a prophet.
何西阿書 Hosea
It is primarily about his message—a holistic critique of Israel. Using powerful metaphorical language, Hosea attacks theology, morals, economy and politics. God is passionately concerned for both the responsibility of the individual as well as society to care for and to give justice to the poor. But the message he gives Hosea is not only one of drastic judgment, but also one of his astounding love, mercy and forgiveness. 

1. 一位信實的丈夫與一位不忠的妻子 -- 個人的感情(1-3章)

2. 一個信實的主與一個不忠的以色列 -- 國家的寫照(4-14章)

何西阿書 Hosea 11:4 我用慈繩愛索牽引他們，我待他們如人放鬆牛的兩腮夾板，把糧食放在他們面前。I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke from their jaws, and I laid meat before them.


Hosea 14:2 Take with you words, and turn to the Lord; say unto Him, “Take away all iniquity and receive us graciously, so will we offer the calves of our lips.

聖經都是神向我們的說話,惟獨詩篇教我們怎樣向神說話。 Poetry and prayer.
The Psalms, like the mirror, show us the shape of our souls and the curve of our sin, realities deep within us, hidden and obscured, for which we need focus and names.

Book I (Psalms 1—41)
The five books of Moses are matched by the five books of David like two five-fingered hands clasping one another in greeting. 

1 Praying Our Inattention 專心
2 Praying Our Intimidation

3 Praying Our Trouble   Reach out to God for help.

4 Dealing with Anger     Anger is a emotion not a sin.

5 Relying on God           Instead of allowing our fear or anger to dominate our thinking, we need to focus on God.

詩篇 Psalm 2:3 說：「我們要掙開他們的捆綁，脫去他們的繩索！」“Let us break Their bonds asunder, and cast away Their cords from us.”

羅馬書 12-16

保羅從一個迫害基督徒的人，在去大馬色的途中，路遇主耶穌基督，經歷了全然的轉變，成為基督徒。以書信的方式使羅馬教會得到基督教的精義，與神恢復正常關係、信靠基督便得救襩。

( 教會中會因為什麼問題產生糾紛？如何以和睦方式解決糾紛？)

什麼是你生命的攔阻，怯步服事，生命的改變。要彼此建造，不只是帶人來教會、信主，一起出來事奉、建造他人。
Why come to this church? What a church should be? If you were Paul what do you write to our church? Anything need to be improved? The church and yourself.

第一部分：宣告神的公義（1－8）
第二部分：神公義的計劃（9－11）

第三部分：實踐神的公義（12－16）

(12) A living sacrifice is voluntary while a dead sacrifice is involuntary. Gift + Faith = Ministry.
(13) Let every soul subject unto the higher powers, what if that's a bad one?

神的公義顯明在基督徒的責任中（12：1－13：14）

向神和教會應盡的責任（12：1－8）

向社會應盡的責任（12：9－13：14）

(14) That no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way, real meaning of freedom.

神的公義顯明在基督徒的自由中（14：1－15：13）

基督徒自由的原則（14：1－23）

保羅寫作的目的（15：14－21）

保羅的旅行計划（15：22－33）

保羅的贊美和問候（16：1－27）

Transformation of believers. 心意更新而變化。
基督徒不再受律法、罪、懲罰的捆綁，在神的恩典與愛中順眼得自由，在忍耐和安慰中得盼望、平安和喜樂。
消極不犯法，積極的愛人助人。

9-16-2016 worship songs

Listen or sing along with it. Then tell me, any thought about this song.

Breathe by Jonny Diaz Lyrics

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t__K4t395BA

http://life1019.com/songs/breathe-3/

The reason that I pick this song in the first place, is because I like the beat, so lively and encouragement. As I try to sing along and learn to sing well, I realize that it's kind of too fast for me to catch up the lyrics or I should say catch my breath. What in the world? When the songwriter wrote and composed this song what is in his mind?

We all live in a world, full of the rush, rush, rush, the busy, busy, busy, and then me, me, me world. 

It's a crazy world; slow down, rest at His feet, just breathe, breathe in the peace, the hope, the love, the faith, the comfort, the healing, the Holy Spirit.

Unlike other times, when I prepare for the worship songs, I normally, have the songs that come to my mind and pick, one or two or sometimes even earlier prior to the actually worship dates, I have no clue or whatsoever, what songs that I should use for this coming Friday's fellowship gathering. 

Until this early morning when I routinely browsing the internet, I was on my Facebook page, then the thought of worrying came into my mind, should I just use those 3 English songs that I listen over and over again the past week? But it's a fellowship in Chinese, then I have another thought, maybe one of my Facebook friend will share a song that I can use, right at this second, a song, I believe, appeared on the screen from one of my friends.

I had already shared one English song, here's the second one.

God will love us no matter what, His love is undeniable yet unexplainable. He is the only answer.

Friday sharing

Let’s starts with the A, B, C, D, and F joke.

As we read until now, through Ezekiel 24, any thoughts about?

Can we love the world and God at the same time?

Have you ever leave the church since?

How you not leave?

What lead you back and stay?

Have you ever make promise with the Lord?

I will share my own experience.

偶像保留? Is that right too Idol after baptism?

More parables about not to worship other gods or idols, the parable between marry couples.

From an angle, it seems this faith has so many restriction on you, you only can do this and but not this and that, but why? Didn’t say that you love me, and yes, from other angle, it's all about love, a love that asks for any return. Someone wants to embrace you forevermore, a lot time we run away from Him. Oh! Please help never run away from your love.

詩篇Psalm 27:4

有一件事，我曾求耶和華，我仍要尋求，就是一生一世住在耶和華的殿中，瞻仰他的榮美，在他的殿裡求問。

One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.

詩篇Psalm 73:25

除 你 以 外 ， 在 天 上 我 有 誰 呢 ？ 除 你 以 外 ， 在 地 上 我 也 沒 有 所 愛 慕 的 。

Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.

Alone yet Not Alone - Joni Eareckson Tada

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UR7jxvD5lc

Let me ask you a question, how long is our God's blessings last？Is that one day, one years, 10 years, a life time or non of the above? It is generation after generation.

You maybe the first or second or the third generation of christian or you are the zero generation, you are not yet a christian. You all do have the privilege and responsibility to pass down God's blessings.

列王紀下 11-17

http://praisedance123.blogspot.com/2015/07/in-blink-of-eye-1996.html

The book of kings divided into 2 books, the first and the second, start of April we study them. It is a history book and a whole lot of lessons to learn and price to pay.

2 kings 9-10 耶戶的興起 徹底除去巴力，保留金牛犢

2 kings 11-12 約阿施行耶和華看為好的事，保留丘壇

2 kings 13 以利沙病逝前後行二神蹟 – 預言約阿施擊敗亞蘭三次 & 死人復活 

2 kings 14-16 猶大國與以色列爭戰 拜偶像 錯誤的信仰

2 kings 17 以色列滅亡 how & why

2 KINGS 13:2 (約哈斯 Jehoahaz) He did evil in the eyes of the LORD by following the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit, and he did not turn away from them.

2 KINGS 13:11 (約哈施Jehoash) He did evil in the eyes of the LORD and did not turn away from any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit; he continued in them.

2 Kings 14:24 (耶羅波安 Jeroboam) He did evil in the eyes of the LORD and did not turn away from any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit.

2 Kings 15:18 (米拿現 Menahem) He did evil in the eyes of the LORD. During his entire reign he did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit.

2 Kings 15:28 (比加 Pekah) He did evil in the eyes of the LORD. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit.

2 Kings 17:22 (何細亞 Hoshea)The Israelites persisted in all the sins of Jeroboam and did not turn away from them

2 KINGS 17 (read 13-17)
從耶羅波安第一個以色列北國的王開始，到最後一位王何細亞，約三百年。沒有一個王專心尋求耶和華神，以耶羅波安所製的金牛犢為神。“在各高岡上、各青翠樹下立柱像和木偶；離棄耶和華他們神的一切誡命，立亞舍拉，敬拜天上的萬象，事奉巴力，又使他們的兒女經火，用占卜，行法術賣了自己” 等。

Jeroboam was the son of Nebat. He became the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel, after Israel had split away from Judah. Jeroboam followed pagan ways. He placed golden calves in the towns of Bethel and Dan in the hopes of getting people to worship without going to the Temple in Jerusalem, which was in Judah. Jeroboam dismissed the priestly tribe of Levi and appointed his own priests. This caused many Levites to defect to Jerusalem.

Watch out when things become routine, like go to church, give the exact same testimony over and over again and etc.

How important is a leader can do? No matter that you are a leader of a nation, a company, a small group, a family, big or small, it’s all equally weight, and so be a great leader.
