讲道稿——林前9:19-23(为什么要接受按立?)

注:临时决定增加一个短系列,讨论按立的问题。 讲道音频:哥林多前书9:19-23 讲道从15:30开始。 1Cor 9:19 我虽是自由的,无人辖管;然而我甘心作了众人的仆人,为要多得人。 19 For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. 19 Ἐλεύθερος γὰρ ὢν ἐκ πάντων πᾶσιν ἐμαυτὸν ἐδούλωσα, ἵνα τοὺς πλείονας κερδήσω• 20 向犹太人,我就作犹太人,为要得犹太人;向律法以下的人,我虽不在律法以下,还是作律法以下的人,为要得律法以下的人。 20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. 20 καὶ ἐγενόμην τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις ὡς Ἰουδαῖος, ἵνα Ἰουδαίους κερδήσω• τοῖς ὑπὸ νόμον ὡς ὑπὸ νόμον, μὴ ὢν αὐτὸς ὑπὸ νόμον, ἵνα τοὺς ὑπὸ νόμον κερδήσω• 21 向没有律法的人,我就作没有律法的人,为要得没有律法的人;其实我在神面前,不是没有律法;在基督面前,正在律法之下。 21 To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. 21 τοῖς ἀνόμοις ὡς ἄνομος, μὴ ὢν ἄνομος θεοῦ ἀλλ’ ἔννομος Χριστοῦ, ἵνα κερδάνω τοὺς ἀνόμους• 22 向软弱的人,我就作软弱的人,为要得软弱的人。向甚么样的人,我就作甚么样的人。无论如何,总要救些人。 22 To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. 22 ἐγενόμην τοῖς ἀσθενέσιν ἀσθενής, ἵνα τοὺς ἀσθενεῖς κερδήσω• τοῖς πᾶσιν γέγονα πάντα, ἵνα πάντως τινὰς σώσω. 23 凡我所行的,都是为福音的缘故,为要与人同得这福音的好处。 23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings. 23 πάντα δὲ ποιῶ διὰ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον, ἵνα συγκοινωνὸς αὐτοῦ γένωμαι. ...

When the King Died

Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-13 音频:以赛亚书6章 讲道从21:05开始 Isa 6:1 当乌西雅王崩的那年,我见主坐在高高的宝座上。他的衣裳垂下,遮满圣殿。 1 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 其上有撒拉弗侍立,各有六个翅膀:用两个翅膀遮脸,两个翅膀遮脚,两个翅膀飞翔; 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 彼此呼喊说:圣哉!圣哉!圣哉!万军之耶和华;他的荣光充满全地! 3 And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” 4 因呼喊者的声音,门槛的根基震动,殿充满了烟云。 4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 那时我说:祸哉!我灭亡了!因为我是嘴唇不洁的人,又住在嘴唇不洁的民中,又因我眼见大君王―万军之耶和华。 5 And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!” 6 有一撒拉弗飞到我跟前,手里拿着红炭,是用火剪从坛上取下来的, 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 将炭沾我的口,说:看哪,这炭沾了你的嘴,你的罪孽便除掉,你的罪恶就赦免了。 7 And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.” 8 我又听见主的声音说:我可以差遣谁呢?谁肯为我们去呢?我说:我在这里,请差遣我! 8 And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” 9 他说:你去告诉这百姓说:你们听是要听见,却不明白;看是要看见,却不晓得。 9 And he said, “Go, and say to this people: “‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’ 10 要使这百姓心蒙脂油,耳朵发沉,眼睛昏迷;恐怕眼睛看见,耳朵听见,心里明白,回转过来,便得医治。 10 Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and blind their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.” 11 我就说:主啊,这到几时为止呢?他说:直到城邑荒凉,无人居住,房屋空閒无人,地土极其荒凉。 11 Then I said, “How long, O Lord?” And he said: “Until cities lie waste without inhabitant, and houses without people, and the land is a desolate waste, 12 并且耶和华将人迁到远方,在这境内撇下的地土很多。 12 and the LORD removes people far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land. 13 境内剩下的人若还有十分之一,也必被吞灭,象栗树、橡树虽被砍伐,树墩子却仍存留。这圣洁的种类在国中也是如此。 13 And though a tenth remain in it, it will be burned again, like a terebinth or an oak, whose stump remains when it is felled.” The holy seed is its stump. ...

Logos周年反思(8)——金钱问题

以下引自尚未出版的“工作神学注释丛书”。 亞拿尼亞和撒非喇的死(使徒行傳5:1-11),若非如此令人震驚、困惑,其實也沒有什麼大不了的。 這對夫妻買掉一部分財產,然後公開的將所得獻給這個團體。 但是,他們偷偷藏了一部份,留給自己。 彼得覺察到這個問題,分別與他們對質。 就只是聽到彼得的指控,他們兩人就當場暴斃了。 乍看之下,他們的遭遇與他們所犯的過錯相比,好像有點小題大作了。 彼得告訴他們,把錢奉獻出來不是所有人的義務。他說: 「田地還沒有賣,不是你自己的嗎?」 「既賣了,價銀不是你作主嗎?」(使徒行傳5:4)。 私有財產並不是廢止了,甚至於這個愛鄰舍的群體中的成員,也可以合法地選擇持有神交付給他們的資源。 為什麼對錢的事有所欺瞞,會引來殺身之禍? ...
