是是誰 D+ 看世界~*

主的道大大興旺，而且得勝，就是這樣。

我們總是想盡各種辦法使用各種方式
無論是改變音樂的形式
或者是改變禮拜的模式
或是使用各種能使教會增長的訓練課程
或是參考各種教會增長的佈道方式
我們都在想著要讓主的道大大興旺

但最後才會發現教會增長不增長的問題很簡單
只差別在於是否是神在其中藉著人的手行大能之事


想想若不是神

那麼
人的心意只能改善人際關係的空間

但
神的心意卻能使這道大大興旺起來


傳福音並非只在傳遞人與人之間的關係
傳福音更是在傳遞人與上帝之間的關係

想想自己是否傳遞合神心意的福音才是現在教會最應重視的功課

當橋搭對了方向
道路才會行得通



使徒行傳

19:11 　神藉保羅photo的手行了些非常的奇事；
And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
19:12 甚至有人從保羅身上拿手巾或圍裙放在病人身上，病就退了，惡鬼也出去了。
So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
19:13 那時，有幾個遊行各處、念咒趕鬼的猶太site人，向那被惡鬼附的人擅自稱主耶穌的名，說：「我奉保羅photo所傳的耶穌敕令你們出來！」
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
19:14 做這事的，有猶太site祭司長士基瓦的七個兒子。
And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
19:15 惡鬼回答他們說：「耶穌我認識，保羅photo我也知道。你們卻是誰呢？」
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
19:16 惡鬼所附的人就跳在他們身上，勝了其中二人，制伏他們，叫他們赤著身子受了傷，從那房子裡逃出去了。
And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
19:17 凡住在以弗所site的，無論是猶太site人，是希臘site人，都知道這事，也都懼怕；主耶穌的名從此就尊大了。
And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
19:18 那已經信的，多有人來承認訴說自己所行的事。
And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.
19:19 平素行邪術的，也有許多人把書拿來，堆積在眾人面前焚燒。他們算計書價，便知道共合五萬塊錢。
Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men : and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
19:20 主的道大大興旺，而且得勝，就是這樣。
So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
19:21 這些事完了，保羅photo心裡定意經過了馬其頓site、亞該亞，就往耶路撒冷去；又說：「我到了那裡以後，也必須往羅馬photosite去看看。」
After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
19:22 於是從幫助他的人中打發提摩太、以拉都二人往馬其頓site去，自己暫時等在亞細亞site。
So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
