Psalm 116
I love the Lord for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. The Lord protects the simple hearted; when I was in great need, he saved me.
Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.
How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord. I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.
Saved from death in answer to prayer the psalmist comes to make his thank-offering in the Temple. The memory of that terrible time when the grave 'closed in' on him, with fear and danger all around, is vividly present as he pours out his heart in gratitude to God.
Why?
The Lord is full of compassion and he saved me for his mercy, God is living for he heart my voice.
Be at rest, O my soul for the Lord has been good to me, God has given the way to me.
How can I repay to Lord? Praise his holy name and lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.
Even I am simple hearted man God protected me. Be humble and fear the Lord!
How?
Be at rest once more, O my soul! for God is gracious and righteous.

The one, true, living God
Psalm 115
Our God is in heaven; he does whatever please him.
But their idols are silver and gold made by the hands of men. Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.
You who fear him, trust in the Lord - he is their help and shield.
God will bless those who fear the Lord - small and great alike.
May the Lord make you increase, both you and your children.
The one, true, living God
This psalm gives an indication of the way many psalms must have been sung - with a single voice leading and the congregation joining in the response. A powerful contrast is drawn between God - almighty, loving, faithful - and the lifeless, impotent idols of ' the nations'. From the response of trust and confidence in God's blessing the psalm comes full circle back to God and his people.
Why?
Our God is the true God, who does whatever please him. But the idols could not speak, smell and walk. Trust the living God who listen my prayer and loves us.
The Lord is my help and my shield. God is my hope and my fortress.
God makes us increase and prosperity in my home and my work.
How?
Praise the Lord, give thanks to the Lord!

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord
Psalm 114
When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue, Judah became God's sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back; the mountains skipped like ram, the hills like lambs.
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, who turned the rock into a pool, the heard rock into springs of water.
This is the festival which marks the escape from Egypt at the exodus. The people remember how God freed them when they were slaves and made them his own people.
Why?
For the great of the Lord did for Israel, his people, so the mountains skipped like ram.
All the earth tremble before the Lord so people have to fear at the presence of the Lord either.
How?
Remember what God have done for us! Remember God's grace and love to me and fear God's holy name!

He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap
Psalm 113
Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore.
From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.
The Lord is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens.
Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high, who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?
He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes, with the princes of his people.
He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children.
God is above and beyond his creation, yet he is infinitely aware of human misery. His love reaches to 'the dust', to lift up the poor and needy. Feeling the heartache of the childless wife, God brings her joy -respect instead of disgrace.
Why?
dist and ash heap: The rubbish dump, the place for outcasts. 'misery'
Childlessness was viewed as a sign of God's disfavor - a punishment.
Praise God for his glory above the heaven, for he raise the poor and needy from misery, for he brings joy to the childless wife as a happy mother of children.
How?
Praise the name of the Lord now and forever!

忘記背後努力面前 禱告會20171125
腓立比書 第三章 3-4
弟兄們，我不是以為自己已經得著了；我只有一件事，就是忘記背後，努力面前的，向著標竿直跑，要得神在基督耶穌裡從上面召我來得的獎賞。
忘記背後努力面前
忘記自己的卑賤，今天被揀選成為新人
彩虹劇團行程這麼滿，為什麼要這麼辛苦？
原來自己的形象就是吃飯，發呆，睡覺
什麼是彼此確實相愛？
愛能遮掩許多的罪。
小兒子要從豬圈中站起來，說我要回家。走出道路
道路，真理，生命。道路為優先
不相愛，奉獻再多都沒有用，禱告一千次也沒用
籃球隊每人都有缺點，這五人彼此相愛
樂團也一樣，要彼此相愛，各有不同特色
教會在亂，在被人攻擊時我們最好方法就是安靜，相愛！沒有人在批評牧者！
萬物的結局近了，互相補足不夠。我們缺點還在，罪也在，我們一起走在道路上。小兒子在夜總會，豬圈一直哭沒有用！
彼此服事：我已經盡力了。但是越做人越頭痛
鈸最大聲，拼命！做神做我們的事，不是拼命做，生命不是公平，是有不同角色！教會沒有公不公平在小事上認真！！
一同受苦：一同爭戰，明白神的道路！那人出於善意，多包容他們！忠心事奉是陪伴，同受苦，同爭戰，不逃避！
以巴弗，提摩太等一同受苦！苦的意思是有衝突
每個車廂風格不同，道路相同。受苦是道路不同。路只有一條受苦是指道路的事，不是我想怎樣就怎樣。不要受苦卻不同心，明知道正確也不講話。我只負責鈸整首樂曲只打一下，是讓樂團沒有缺點！雖然很微小！加入教會神從教會算起，我不加入教會神就不會算到我。但是在刑罰中！
我們願意加入，雖然只排譜架，也很重要！

成為基督的精兵
提後2：1-10
台南聖教會 11/26/2017
前言：電影太陽的後裔
喜歡當兵？
基督徒可以選擇不要當精兵，只享恩典
問題是魔鬼會來找我們，基督的軍裝是保護我們
對孩子說，生養屬靈的兒子
生命從小子，少年人，父老
不是憑自己而是耶穌的恩典中剛強起來
聽見，教導，傳承下去
吃飯沒？功課寫沒？是否在生命中有幫助，提醒敬拜神與守主日是勝過課業的
神是我們一家的主
負面例子：以利，尊重孩子高過神
做主門徒就是做主精兵
…
基督精兵的特質
受苦：成為精兵就會受苦，不同於一般信仰
民間信仰：靈就還願，不靈就把神明丟掉
背起十架來跟從主！
信主後似乎生活沒有更順利？
刻痕：在無生命的東西上是藝術品，生命則是刻在我們心上
特質1 像軍人
沒有自由，點名多次
基督徒也要被神管死死
軍人要受操練，保護家園國家
基督徒要打屬靈的戰，討那召你們的主
3 按照規矩 打球也有規則
人生也有神所立的規則
屬靈偉人不是瞬間變成的
3 要勞力，農夫般的勞力。勞力到筋疲力竭
辛勤追求是基督徒必要的
精兵的使命 v8-10
1.我們當思念福音的奇妙
保羅的改變
以耶穌基督為至寶，福音與我有什麼關係？人的個性難改變，不是靠自己能改變
2.福音的重要
在獄中受苦的安慰外面的人
3.福音的榮耀
願意付代價是考驗，是否願意為耶穌付代價？

Good will come to those who are generous
Psalm 112
Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands.
Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever.
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice.
Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
A wisdom psalm. For the alphabet form as psalm 111.
Happy are those who obey God and care for others. Their rewards is sure. They can withstand life's knocks,secure and unafraid.
Why?
Obey the word of God is the blessing. Fear the Lord will follow God's command.
Good comes to those who are generous and lend freely. For all I have are belong to the Lord. It is the blessing of the Lord to be righteousness.
How?
Give and love others more!
