10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of[b] your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. 

約4:1-27秦傳道

門城全都進城買食物去了

31

門徒對耶稣说：拉比，请吃

耶稣说：我有食物吃，是你们不知道的

34: 耶穌說：我的食物就是遵行差我來者的旨意，做成祂的工

35 是收割的時候了，差你們去收割丶享受別人所勞苦播種所結的果實

耶穌帶領門徒為什麼必須經過撒加利亞？

下面是從高通團契學到的：

太太绝对不会错!

如果发现太太有错,一定是我看错;

如果我没有看错,一定是我的错,才害她犯错;

如果是太太的错,只要她不认错,她就没有错;

如果太太不认错,我还坚持她有错,那就是我的错;

如果太太实在有错,那就要尊重她的错,我才不会犯错;

总之,太太绝对不会错,这句话肯定没错!

War Rooms.

2 Cor 10:4 the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds

Daniel Jarrel sermon

By spiritually testing what we believe, we can see from the results what is good and bad.

34:8 你们要尝尝主恩的滋味，便知道他是美善；投靠他的人有福了！

34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

"I will teach you the fear of the Lord" v.11 我要将敬畏耶和华的道教训你们。

• The value of testing faith and learning from those who have gone before us.
• Spiritual growth is a life-long process! At the same time, it cannot be taken lightly. Is there anything that is so lasting and fundamental to who we are?
• Listening to God's Word and guidance, and asking God for wisdom in times of doubt.
• We are called to build each other up. An honest question is NOT disrespectful.

It is OK to say: I am working out my faith, because my faith is a relationship with God.

Phil 2:12-13
这样看来，我亲爱的弟兄，你们既是常顺服的，不但我在你们那里，就是我如今不在你们那里，更是顺服的，就当恐惧战兢做成你们得救的工夫。
2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

2:13 因为你们立志行事都是　神在你们心里运行，为要成就他的美意。
2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.


wenzhong testimony


2004 accepted Christ at las alamos national labs

2006 the lead asked him to lead worship. Wenzhong was willing to be led, and prayed for 2 months. and accepted the responsibility.

Lessons learnt:
I listened to 100+ praise songs. and slowly I began to be willing to change by the music mostly Chinese
I was trained to be self sufficient, now I faced challenges that I have to seek help. In the end become willing to help others.
My heart became more receptive and often touched to tears.

林前4:10 我們為基督的緣故算是愚拙的，你們在基督裡倒是聰明的；我們軟弱，你們倒強壯；你們有榮耀，我們倒被藐視。

大衛人緣Bi-weekly Men's Sat Morning

1 Sam 18:

"掃羅殺了千千，大衛殺了萬萬"


we must cooperate when God uses relationships to mold us

Initially Saul showed favor on David because:

1. David's talent began to show after killing Goliath
2. David's spiritual insight
3. David's loyalty

The above 3 helps David to flourish.

David seems to enable people around him to flourish no matter where he goes, and across different realms, material relational and spiritual.

• relationship to Saul

Use Saul to break / crush David, so he can be purified. This is the "purifying love of God, through His cleansing water".

King James 2000 Bible 1 Peter 5:10
But the God of all grace, who has called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, restore, establish, strengthen, settle you.

神的靈離開掃羅

• relationship to Johnathan

1. Sacrificing love to David: Jesus love to us is somewhat like Johnathan's love to David
2. Defending love
3. Accepting love
4. Encouraging love
1. Sacred friendship:
2. Provide negative feedback: 用愛心說誠實話
1. Purifying Love: 潔浄的愛
3. Johnathan defends David
4. Listen: Provide freedom to express without condemning you. They cry together embracing each other
5. Build up David: Encouraging David

祂必兴旺，我必衰微

聽了蘇文智老師的吩咐去看余秋雨㪚文. 记在“恩师”的这段讀得我流淚。

---------------------

我的語文老師穆尼先生已于去年逝世，今天有一位中年女子特地赶到校慶會場來找我，她是穆尼老師的女儿。她說，穆尼老師臨終前几次留話，要把他的藏書全部移贈給我。我和同學們一听都嚇了一跳，因為我們都知道那是一個近似圖書館的龐大收藏。穆尼老師終生貧寒，全是為了購置這些書；他的家庭几十年來一直局促在難于轉身的狹隘空間里，全是為了堆放這些書。他藏書，不是為了著書立說，只是為了備課，備好一節節的中學語文課；而當他無法再用這些書籍備課的時候，也就毫不猶豫地決定把它們全都交給某個他認為成績較好的學生。我當然不可能真去接受這份無价的饋贈，何況我現在連自己的藏書也已經完全無法對付，但面對穆尼老師的女儿我還是不能不心情沉重：畢業那么多年，我去拜訪老師也就一二次罷了，而老師的遺言卻突然使這架人情的天平嚴重失衡。天地間最大的人情失衡，第一產生于父母与子女之間，第二產生于老師与學生之間。子女和學生痛切地發現這种失衡時，大多已無法彌補。
