A Few Words from Our Minister and Sponsor, Joshua

作門徒

有一首詩歌的副歌，向唱這首詩的信徒發出了两個發人深省的問題 :「工尚未成我即去乎？何能如此見恩主！未領一人來歸耶穌，豈可空手回天府？」 (【豈可空手回天府】培靈詩選，139)

上一次團契的職員月會，我要求職員給我五分鐘的會前分享，盼望將神給我的負擔傳達給每一位職員，簡單來說，這負擔就是我們都要「去、使萬民作我的門徒、奉父子聖靈的名、給他們施洗」 (太 28:19)，這節大家都耳熟能詳的經文，也是神用作呼召我全時間事奉的两段經文之一。「去、使萬民作門徒」，我們團契的每一個安排、每一個「節目」、甚至我們團契的每一口呼吸，都要有一個背後的意識，"Make Disciples"。

但願弟兄姊妹都能有這個意識， 團契是在使萬民作門徒，或直接的、或間接的、或對未信的、或對巳信的、或對別人的、或對自己的。對未信的朋友，我們有責任要將他 /她帶到神面前，將救恩清楚向他/她傳講。對弟兄姊妹、對自 己，我們有責任互相扶持、彼此勉勵，作主喜悦的門徒。

近這幾年裏，中文青成年團契新的面孔不多，求主幫助我們，有遠大的眼光，為教會、為神國「招募」更多神國的人材。有人說，長者是教會的今天、青成年是教會的明天、兒童是教會的後天，我們這一群是接觸到「明天」最多的人， 讓我們同心合意，有意識的「去、使萬民作門徒」。求愛我們的主，就是那一位復 活之後，在堤比哩亞海邊，天將亮時為門徒預備早飯的主幫助我們，賜給我們各樣屬靈的智慧，為祂作工。 求主將「使萬民作門徒」的這個意識，深深的放在團契職員心中，也深深的放在每一位團契的弟兄姊妹心中，叫我們的團契為主發光發熱，叫神得祂當得的榮耀。阿們 !

2006-2007 AF Fellowship Theme

當三隻"Ducks"加上兩條"蟲"

Goals:

• 從不論斷(don’t judge/criticize)
  
• 從不抱怨 (don’t grumble)
  
• 傾得埋 (do listen and care)
  
• 抵得諗 (do serve and sacrifice)
  
• 照得住 (do shine for Jesus)
  

Our underlying thinking is the greatest commandment – to love God and our neighbors (i.e. our b/s in Christ as well as non-believers). Following the church theme, our fellowship focuses on various aspects of behavior when God reigns in our lives through 2 don’ts + 3 do’s.

2 Don’ts – 攻克己身 - 不論斷, 不抱怨

「豈不知在場上賽跑的都跑、但得獎賞的只有一人．你們也當這樣跑、好叫你們得著獎賞。較力爭勝的、諸事都有節制．他們不過是要得能壞的冠冕．我們卻是要得不能壞的冠冕。所以我奔跑、不像無定向的．我鬥拳、不像打空氣的。我是攻克己身、叫身服我．恐怕我傳福音給別人、自己反被棄絕了。」

林前 9:24-27

"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize."

1 Cor 9:24-27

「天使 〔原文作他〕 又指給我看、 大祭司約書亞站在耶和華的使者面前、 撒但也站在約書亞的右邊、 與他作對。」

亞 3:1

"Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him."

Zech 3:1

「免得撒但趁著機會勝過我們． 因我們並非不曉得他的詭計。」

林後 2:11

"[I]n order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes."

2 Cor 2:11

The two words "Satan" and "accuser" come from the same root in the original language. And Satan's job is to judge/criticize. Thus, as children of God, we need to watch out not to fall into the trap of being on Satan’s side.

3 Do’s – we act out our faith, love, and hope - 傾得埋, 抵得諗, 照得住

「你們的光也當這樣照在人前、叫他們看見你們的好行為、便將榮耀歸給你們在天上的父。」

太 5:16

"In the same way, let your light shine before men, that thye may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."

Mt 5:16

不可讓慈愛誠實離開你，要繫在你的頸項上，刻在你的心版上。這樣，你在　神和世人眼前，必蒙恩寵，得著美名（“名”原文作“明慧”）。」

箴 3:3-4

"Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man."

Pr 3:3-4
