Our Daily Bread 9/19

From Our Daily Bread today:

Many believers long to spend daily time with God, praying and reading His Word. Ironically, they are often distracted by a busy schedule. Frustrations mount as busyness seems to crowd out an opening in their schedule.
Oswald Chambers has wisely commented on the transforming power of even 5 minutes in the presence of the Lord. Indeed, even a short time spent in intercession and the Word still has great value: “It is not the thing on which we spend the most time that moulds us, but the thing that exerts the greatest power. Five minutes with God and His Word is worth more than all the rest of the day.” Now, it may sound like Chambers has made an overstatement. Yet powerful results can come from even a short time of prayer, becauseGod is powerful.
Sometimes our days are filled with busy demands that crowd out time spent in listening to and responding to God. But no matter where we are, any time taken to build our own spiritual “altar” to the Lord as Abram did (Gen. 12:8) opens the door to His transforming power. If you are having trouble establishing a time with God, you could start with just 5 minutes and see where it leads. Our God longs to meet with us and show His power in our lives.

講員: 柯男泰 Tom Keenan
十七年來都住在廣州的美國人,部分是做大學外教,主要是侍奉主。在University of Pennsylvania獲得學士和博士。Passion就是幫助慕道友脫離疑問,讓他們達到答案,確認真理,幫助信徒解決疑問,建立更堅固的信心。總的來說,看罪人得救,看信徒成聖,效法基督。
分享內容: 主要是以真神的創造為我基督教信仰的基礎,是客觀的、有科學的基礎,通過用科學來分析大自然,我能知道上帝的存在。再者,通過聖經性的創造科學(Biblical creationism),我也能理解為什麽,儘管有全能、慈愛的神創造這個宇宙,為什麽世上還會有痛苦、自然災害和死亡,這些都是因為人的祖宗犯了罪,神就不得不詛咒此世界。還有,通過學習有關地球、生命的來源的科學研究,包括關於地球的年齡,我自己曾經受過打擊的信心終於恢復,達到穩定的基礎,確認神的話語都是真實可靠的。
