生命的供备和真理的启示

彼得后书是写在召会堕落与背道的情形。神的经纶是要将祂自己做到我们里面给我们享受。什么是背道?背道就是一切不合乎且把我们从神经伦中岔出去的事。

彼得在这里很有负担地为真理争辩,叫圣徒接受预防剂。彼得在这里用两样东西来对付背道:生命的供备和真理的启示。

我们不应该把生命和真理分开。只有在真理的路上,我们才能够享受生命;并且当我们越享受神和神的话(生命),就越在真理上接受预防剂对付一切背道。

我们都需要认识并进入现今的真理,并被真理构成,讲说真理。不然,我们会被背道的洪流荡来荡去。也叫我们千万不要有一个态度,就是觉得现今的真理太高,我够不上。真理是绝对的,不要把真理拉低到我们的程度。反而要藉着到祷告,把听见的带到主面前寻求,然后学习讲说。愿主得着我们。

恩典与恩赐

很享受今晚的祷告聚会,弟兄的分享很丰富,对我来说就是“雷玛”。今天我们都需要主更多向我们说应时的话。

弟兄用林前15:10 “然而因着神的恩,我成了我今天这个人,并且神的恩临到我,不是徒然的;反而我比众使徒格外劳苦,但这不是我,乃是神的恩与我同在。”保罗弟兄在这里向众人做见证,见证一位活的人位在他里面。因着神的恩(恩典就是神做我们的享受),保罗成为一个人,带出一个结果-比众使徒格外劳苦。

我很享受说,恩典临到我们不是徒然的。就好像环境临到我们,也不是徒然的。恩典临到我们,他会产生一个果效,会使我们成为今天这个人。在保罗身上,恩典使他为主格外劳苦。

罗马书12:6说“照着所赐给我们的恩典,我们得了不同的恩赐。。。”。享受恩典的结果,就是产生恩赐。基督徒就是享受恩典的人,所以每个基督徒都可以藉着所领受的恩赐服事主。我们可以申言吗?保罗弟兄说申言,就当照着信心的程度申言。弟兄作比喻说:如果今天你有一辆名车停在家里不开,却去羡慕别人开在马路上的名车;这就好像我们羡慕别人很爱主,很会服事主,自己倒把恩赐埋藏起来。
路加福音15里的父亲有两个儿子,小儿子向父亲讨家产,父亲就给他,因为儿子从父亲接受家产是理所当然的。然而,小儿子却挥霍了家产。这说出他没有作恩典的好管家,没有经纶,没有计划。所以,这恩临到他却成为徒然的。弟兄也问:这恩临到我们,今天我们成了怎样的人?我们满意现在的情况吗?比起五年前的你,有不一样吗?如果不满意,就要多享受恩典!
主啊,得着我们,转我们的价值观,叫我们不轻看所领受的一他连得,照着所得的恩赐服事你!

Gospel Contacting in Campus

Rev 6:2 "And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he who sits on it had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering and to conquer."

Matt 28:20 "Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you all the days until the consummation of the age."

Praise the Lord we can participate in the preaching of the gospel of kingdom to the students in our campus. We pray that all the bro and sis would have same burden and same mind in this matter. The Lord heard our prayer. It was very encouraging and joyful to see 13 bro and sis to coordinate in doing survey with M208 students. We are sure that the Lord will remember everyone of us as He is watching us secretly. And we'll miss this kind of moments when we graduate from the campus life.

Our Lord had fought the battle and today the church's (our) responsbility is to defend and keep this fight. May the Lord gains everyone of us. Stir up our heart, Lord!

Sunday night dinner

It has been quite a while since the brothers get to cook and have dinner together. Tonight we decided to cook again. After the meeting, Meng Rong and I went to buy things in Carrefour. While buying things, we had to think what dishes to cook for the dinner. So we bought some tomatos, vegetables, bitter gourd, minced pork, and prawns too.

De Rong helped me a lot during the cooking. We cooked chili prawn, black pepper chicken, lettuce, and for the first time- bitter gourd soup. De Rong cooked fried rice with tomato sauce. Imediately, the kitchen turned into battlefield.


De Rong was cooking the prawn.

We cooked from 5 to 6pm. Paul came to enjoy our dinner too, but Ong Lim and Guang Jin did not. Next time we'll invite them again.

Praise the Lord! Love you all brothers...Lord, continue to gain our living. Blend us together.

主的恢復與基督教的不同

恢復乃是在墮落、破壞或失落後,回復或歸回正常的光景。神按著祂的心意所成就的,因遭撒但的破壞而失落了,所以需要恢復。

正如基督的身體和新約是獨一的,主的恢復也是獨一的,是與基督教不同的。今天基督教的教訓在某種程度上是正確的,但是缺了神聖啟示的最高峰。主的恢復是搆上神聖啟示的標準;今天主的恢復有三方面:神的啟示神人的生活、以及召會的實行。我們需要達到神聖啟示的高峰,並且照著這啟示過神人的生活,有召會的實行,好完成神照著祂的心意所要得著的。

主的恢復不是普通、一般基督教的工作,乃是招聚主的遺民,在召會裏恢復神的國(太十六18~19,羅十四17)。主的恢復不是一個工作、教訓、神學或運動;主的恢復乃是基督自己,作為生命的種子撒到人裏面(太十三3,37),長出諸天之國的實際和實現,好擊敗神的仇敵。

主的恢復與今天的宗教不同。主的恢復是要帶我們脫離聖品階級和平信徒這不合聖經的制度(啟二6,15),而回到起初,照著神聖的啟示,純淨的實行召會生活,因此不可能與傳統、組織的基督教調諧一致。主恢復中的眾地方召會,與基督教之間不該有任何橋梁;我們與現今邪惡世代之間的鴻溝,越大越好。

希伯來書十三章十三節說,『我們…當出到營外就了祂去。』在出埃及三十二章,以色列人拜了金牛犢以後,摩西將他的帳棚遷到營外;神的同在就不在營中,而在摩西的帳棚那裏(三三7~11)。召會乃是神的帳幕或殿(弗二21~22);然而,召會在性質上改變了,就從帳棚變成了營。營表徵對主不忠信的一班人,尤其是一班宗教人士,如拜了金牛犢的以色列人所表徵。在現今的時代,基督教不是帳棚而是營,因為原則上,基督教是個宗教系統,包含一群宗教人士,名義上屬於主,用口尊敬主,心卻定準在主以外的事上(太十五8~9)。因此,真正尋求主的人必須離開組織的基督教,也就是出到營外,就了主去。 (摘自台北市週訊)

Regarding Brother and Sister House

" To those staying in brother sister house, my thought is to have young people staying together to live the Body life and practise the spiritual life. In such a place they would receive training for the purpose of edification, by learning to read scripture, to pray and build up a good character. On the negative side, they would be trained for the purpose of learning how to deal with sin, the world, the flesh and the natural life. "

周六爱宴与福音朋友相调

今天弟兄姐妹在灵里非常喜乐
因为所邀的福音朋友都能出席我们的中午用饭
而且今天是来得最多人的一次
屋里坐满了大概28人

经历我们的神是听祷告的神
我们越祷告
越发现福音朋友的心被敞开
我们越祷告
神就越能预备祂的道路,修直祂的途径

用过午饭
我们一起追求约翰福音6:1-15
从主用五饼二鱼喂饱五千人的事例中
说出祂如何满足在世界里饥饿的人
享受弟兄说
我们每个人就是这些饥饿的人
感谢主来喂饱我们

非常享受弟兄姐妹的配搭
预备午饭,排椅子,陪伴福音朋友,
为身旁的朋友翻译,分享基督,等等
这样的生活是能吸引人的
很受一位弟兄的鼓励
虽然他只信主一个月多
却对福音满了负担
今天他把室友请来了
相信不仅他喜乐
众人都在主里喜乐

Dinner and A Sweet Fellowship

Yesterday night Bro and Sis Ler brought us for dinner in a restaurant at Subang. Bro Micheal and Sis Jenny had finished their sem 6 exam. So they came visit us and enjoyed the dinner. Others who joined the feast are Bro Joey, Bro Ong Lim, Bro King, Me, Alfred and Sis Pei Ying. We first gathered at Bro Ler's house at 6pm. We enjoyed Sis Ler's homemade muffins. She said that was a new recipe and it was delicious!
We reached the restaurant and before the food came, we enjoyed some rambutans brought from Bro Ler's home. Recently we can see rambutan and durian around. Enjoy eating durian especially.


Bro Joey will be going to London soon. We took this oportunity to blend with him, and mutually supply Christ enjoyed by us. Sis Ler gave him some tips on how to buy groceries in London. Lord, gain this lovely brother. Be the shepherd and overseer of his souls when he moves to London. Preserve him in the church life in Europe.

Besides, we also used this opportunity to shepherd our friend Alfred. He joined our RSG regularly and is seeking for the Lord. O Lord, gain him to be Your useful vessel! All we can do is to continue praying before You so that You can work on him. Praise the Lord!

The Blending with Taiwan Campus Students 2-3 Aug

Thank the Lord that we can blend in the Body and enjoy the riches of the Body. On 2Aug there were 75 campus students including some serving ones from Taiwan came to blend with the KL saints. On 2Aug night, we had a love feast and blending with 25 of them at KL hall 2. We enjoyed the mutual supply and testified the Oneness of the Body.

The IMU brothers and sisters house had the grace to provide accomodation to 2 brothers and 3 sisters. This was a great opportunity for us to share and fellowship our campus church life. The brothers received great supply from Br 俊源and Br建诚 (who stayed with us) on their RSG (Recovery Bible Study Grp) in the campus. The brothers' prayer are touching. Their love for the Lord encourage us to pursue the Lord more.

On 3Aug morning before we went for Lord's table meeting, we had lovefeast at sister house. Brothers and sisters also enjoyed singing hymns after the meal.



On 3Aug night, we had another blending with all the Taiwan saints at PJ hall. The saints from various campus (Taiwan and KL) shared on their enjoyment in the campus church life. After the meeting, we took group photos.

Halleluyah! This is the foretaste of New Jerusalem!
