傳福音的道路是雖有苦難依然往前的道路

雖然保羅被同為教會的猶太人所攻擊
但他依然堅持傳福音的信念
所以他不僅堅固門徒的心，勸他們恆守所信的道；又說：「我們進入　神的國，必須經歷許多艱難。」

直奔標竿的作者華理克牧師分析健康教會的法則

教會要接觸社區，從社區吸引群眾，群眾裡面有一些會成為會友
─到這個圈時，很多傳統教會沒有委身者這個圈，就直接進到核心，
也就是從會友當中選出一些熱心的人來帶領教會。
這群核心同工沒有經過門徒培育，你想：教會會不會亂？教會是不是用人的方法？
於是，各種紛爭就出現了。
因此華理克牧師指出，要從這些會友中找出一些委身者，培育他們作門徒，
再從中選出核心來，就對了，教會就健康了。

從今日保羅所經歷的事件看來
因著不同的教會DNA，保羅自然會捲入這樣的紛爭之中
但接續的當保羅在各教會中選立長老的模式看來
我們可以看見他已經從眾人中找到了教會的核心
而這些人是可以交託與信任的

或許當代的教會所缺乏的是同樣的教會DNA
否則當同工或會友與牧師所領受的大不相同時
自然各種紛爭就會出現

願上帝幫助我們成為有相同DNA的教會

讀經禱告敬拜神 D：Define Truth，道成肉身的靈修。

當教會擁有了從耶穌而來的DNA
神就開啟了教會福音復興的大門


使徒行傳

14:19 但有些猶太site人從安提阿site和以哥念site來，挑唆眾人，就用石頭打保羅photo，以為他是死了，便拖到城外。
And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.
14:20 門徒正圍著他，他就起來，走進城去。第二天，同巴拿巴photo往特庇site去，
Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
14:21 對那城裡的人傳了福音，使好些人作門徒，就回路司得site、以哥念、安提阿site去，
And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, had taught many: Gr. had made many disciples
14:22 堅固門徒的心，勸他們恆守所信的道；又說：「我們進入　神的國，必須經歷許多艱難。」
Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
14:23 二人在各教會中選立了長老，又禁食禱告，就把他們交託所信的主。
And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
14:24 二人經過彼西底site，來到旁非利亞site。
And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
14:25 在別加site講了道，就下亞大利site去，
And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:
14:26 從那裡坐船，往安提阿去。當初，他們被眾人所託、蒙　神之恩、要辦現在所做之工，就是在這地方。
And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
14:27 到了那裡，聚集了會眾，就述說　神藉他們所行的一切事，並　神怎樣為外邦人開了信道的門。
And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
14:28 二人就在那裡同門徒住了多日。
And there they abode long time with the disciples.
