按:教会是  神的儿女的集合,教会不应该分裂。现在主的教会分裂得很厉害,
    当然是不对的。那,怎样才能合一呢?有人说「地方立场」或「地方教会」
    。甚至说「地方立场」就是「合一的立场」。

    但是,「地方立场」至少已经走了快九十年了,为什麽还没有合一呢?而且
    ,坚持「地方立场」场的人,分裂的心更强烈,你不承认吗?当初,  神兴
    起倪、李两位弟兄,也就是(主的恢复)这见证时,并不是这样。你去看看
    早期的书。就是福音书房的《诗歌》 600.601 首,也强调只要守著得救的
    基本信仰,其他都不必争,那就能够合一。

    如果「地方立场」使我们与其他基督徒分得更厉害,我们应该反省,是否我
    们错了?

Not My Kind
February 27, 2012 □ by Joe Stowell

「并不分犹太人、希腊人、自主的、为奴的,或男或女,因为你们在基督耶稣里,都成为一了。」(加拉太书3章28节)
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

在星际大战影片中,有一段描述天行者路克和他的机器人C3PO、R2D2到了偏远的塔图因星球。来到莫斯艾斯利太空站的社交馆外,有许多长相怪异的生物在馆内应酬。当两名机器人要进去时,却意外地被挡驾门外。理由是:「我们不接待你们这种东西。」(事实上这两个机器人比在场的其他生物算是「正常」多了)。而这一幕让我联想起一些在教会所认识的人。

那怪异的场面反映了世上的我们,所面对的人际关系问题。我们总是觉得跟自己同类型的人相处会比较舒服。想想看,如果耶稣也这样认为,那你将会在哪里呢?他的神圣和完美,使得他与我们大不相同,然而他却降世,住在我们当中,为我们的罪而死。

身为基督的跟随者,在我们的话语里,实在不应该有「他们不跟我同类」的字眼。正如保罗提醒我们的,在基督里面「并不分犹太人、希腊人、自主的、为奴的,或男或女,因为你们在基督耶稣里,都成为一了」(加拉太书3章28节)。所以,不论别人的态度、观点、种族、阶级、政治立场、社会地位有多麽不同,对我们这些以基督之名自称的人来说,都应该没有不同的。  

今天就去寻找与你不同的人,和他们分享耶稣的爱吧! 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!


倘若因我致纷争,
祷告中求主显明;
上帝儿女当合一,
相爱赞美为圣子。 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

爱你的邻舍,即便他们跟你截然不同!
Love your neighbor□ even if they aren』t your kind!
