按:教會是  神的兒女的集合,教會不應該分裂。現在主的教會分裂得很厲害,
    當然是不對的。那,怎樣才能合一呢?有人說「地方立場」或「地方教會」
    。甚至說「地方立場」就是「合一的立場」。

    但是,「地方立場」至少已經走了快九十年了,為什麼還沒有合一呢?而且
    ,堅持「地方立場」場的人,分裂的心更強烈,你不承認嗎?當初,  神興
    起倪、李兩位弟兄,也就是(主的恢復)這見證時,並不是這樣。你去看看
    早期的書。就是福音書房的《詩歌》 600.601 首,也強調只要守著得救的
    基本信仰,其他都不必爭,那就能夠合一。

    如果「地方立場」使我們與其他基督徒分得更厲害,我們應該反省,是否我
    們錯了?

Not My Kind
February 27, 2012 — by Joe Stowell

「並不分猶太人、希臘人、自主的、為奴的,或男或女,因為你們在基督耶穌裡,都成為一了。」(加拉太書3章28節)
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. —Galatians 3:28

在星際大戰影片中,有一段描述天行者路克和他的機器人C3PO、R2D2到了偏遠的塔圖因星球。來到莫斯艾斯利太空站的社交館外,有許多長相怪異的生物在館內應酬。當兩名機器人要進去時,卻意外地被擋駕門外。理由是:「我們不接待你們這種東西。」(事實上這兩個機器人比在場的其他生物算是「正常」多了)。而這一幕讓我聯想起一些在教會所認識的人。

那怪異的場面反映了世上的我們,所面對的人際關係問題。我們總是覺得跟自己同類型的人相處會比較舒服。想想看,如果耶穌也這樣認為,那你將會在哪裡呢?祂的神聖和完美,使得祂與我們大不相同,然而祂卻降世,住在我們當中,為我們的罪而死。

身為基督的跟隨者,在我們的話語裡,實在不應該有「他們不跟我同類」的字眼。正如保羅提醒我們的,在基督裡面「並不分猶太人、希臘人、自主的、為奴的,或男或女,因為你們在基督耶穌裡,都成為一了」(加拉太書3章28節)。所以,不論別人的態度、觀點、種族、階級、政治立場、社會地位有多麼不同,對我們這些以基督之名自稱的人來說,都應該沒有不同的。  

今天就去尋找與你不同的人,和他們分享耶穌的愛吧! JS

In the Star Wars trilogy there』s a scene that reminds me of some church people I know. At an establishment somewhere in a remote corner of the galaxy, grotesque-looking creatures socialize over food and music. When Luke Skywalker enters with his two droids, C3PO and R2D2 (who are more 「normal」 than anyone else there), he is surprisingly turned away with a curt rebuff: 「We don』t serve their kind here!」

That strange scene captures the malady that we all struggle with in our relationships here on planet Earth. We are always more comfortable with people who are just like us. But think of where you would be if Jesus had felt that way. He was divine, perfect in every way, which makes Him far different from us. Yet He came to dwell among us and to die for us.

Those of us who follow Christ shouldn』t have 「they』re not my kind」 in our vocabulary. As Paul reminds us, in Him 「there is neither Jew nor Greek, . . . slave nor free, . . . male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus」 (Gal. 3:28). So, whether others are different in attitude, perspective, race, class, political slant, or social standing, it should make no difference to those of us who call ourselves by Jesus』 name.

Find someone who is not your kind and share Jesus』 love with them today!


倘若因我致紛爭,
禱告中求主顯明;
上帝兒女當合一,
相愛讚美為聖子。 Branon
I pray, O Lord, reveal to me
If I have caused disunity,
ldren one In praise and love for You
For You would have Your chir dear Son. —Branon

愛你的鄰舍,即便他們跟你截然不同!
Love your neighbor— even if they aren』t your kind!
