喜乐泉源

「似乎忧愁，却是常常快乐的；似乎贫穷，却是叫许多人富足的；似乎一无所有，却是样样都有的。」(哥林多后书6章10节)

17世纪德国有位牧师，名叫葛哈特。他比谁都更有理由不快乐。他的一生，爱妻身亡、四个子女丧命；经过三十年战争蹂躏的德国，处处满目疮痍；教会冲突、政治干预，让他一生都厄运连连。然而在这百般苦难之中，他却写出了130多首诗歌，而大部份的主题竟然是喜乐，以及对耶稣基督的热爱。其中一首「圣灵为我喜乐泉源」，诗中有段歌词是这么说的：真神之爱，浩瀚无边；化作春雨，降临人间；何等宝贝，滋润心田；超乎想像，最大恩典；听我心曲，由衷恳求；艰难之中，释我心怀；来到圣所，全然安息；圣灵为我，喜乐泉源。既然圣灵将上帝丰富的爱浇灌在我们心里(罗马书5章5节) ，那我们在任何景况下，岂不是都能体会上帝所赐的喜乐吗？在极度的困苦之中，使徒保罗这样描述自己的体会：「似乎忧愁，却是常常快乐的；似乎贫穷，却是叫许多人富足的；似乎一无所有，却是样样都有的」(哥林多后书6章10节) 。痛苦和忧伤都是人生不可避免的。然而圣灵是我们喜乐的泉源，他会带来「何等宝贝，滋润心田，超乎想像，最大恩典」。

快乐靠人；喜乐靠神。

Obsessed With Grades

Dear all,

I got this article via email this morning and thought it is quite interesting for students! :) Food for thought, ppl!

Cheers,
Chris


I was a little psycho about grades in school. Maybe it's a firstborn thing. But from early grade school, I always wanted to get really good grades. I worked hard, I made sure I was on good terms with the teacher, and I usually made the honor roll. When my wife and I were going to college together, I used to drive her nuts with my concern over getting a "B."

I told you I was psycho. I know, you probably hated guys like me, but just consider it a condition and cut me some slack, OK? I'm probably not the only person in the world who has this "gotta get a good grade" thing!

I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Obsessed With Grades." It can be a good thing to be really focused on grades when it comes to school. It's definitely not a good thing when it comes to being a follower of Jesus Christ. But a lot of us like what I call measurable righteousness - a rigid standard by which I can grade myself as a Jesus-follower. And maybe more importantly, I can grade others as a Jesus-follower.

Don't get me wrong. God has clear boundaries for our lives and they‘re non-negotiable. The issue is whether or not we have a right to grade ourselves on how we're doing with Him; or whether or not we have a right to grade other people. When we do, we usually give ourselves a better grade based on some criteria by which we can come out looking good. Jesus knew some folks like that. They had a name - Pharisees. Jesus didn't have very nice things to say about them. Our word for today from the Word of God, Galatians 5, beginning with verse 1, is actually a Declaration of Independence, not from the desire to please God, but from the obsession with grading our righteousness or the righteousness of others, which almost always ends in spiritual pride for us and judgment of other people. God says, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." That slavery had been a legalistic bondage to a list of spiritual rules. John 1:17 says, "The law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." That grace removes the word "deserve" from all our dealings with God. Hell is all we can deserve.

Our relationship is based on God's grace, not our goodness. It is "not by works so no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:9) the Bible says. Which is exactly what legalistic righteousness, spiritual grades, causes. It causes boasting. In Galatians, Paul says, "You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? You...were called to be free" (Galatians 5:7, 13). Earlier he asked, "Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law or by believing...? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?" (Galatians 3:2-3). God doesn't want us grading our righteousness or the righteousness of others, as ego-satisfying as that might be. We should never have a sense of having arrived spiritually. That's why, after thirty years of an awesome Christian life, the Apostle Paul was still "pressing on to win the prize." The spirit of Jesus isn't one of proudly measuring our righteousness.


It's a spirit of humility, of always feeling in desperate need of His grace, of always being amazed that He loved me. I'm always wanting to please my Jesus, but I'm not ever thinking I'm there. I'm never in a position to judge how someone else is doing, except to help a struggling brother or sister by restoring them, or confronting them, or exhorting them under the Spirit's prodding, but always with a sense of mercy and humility - never with a sense of condescension or pride.
One of my favorite verses is Isaiah 66:2. It defines the kind of person that impresses God, and that He wants to use. Here's what it says: "To this man will I look: to him who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word."

No grades - just grace.

When you're down to nothing, God is up to something.

This is beautiful! Touching...

She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room.

She said: 'How is my little boy ? Is he going to be all right ? When can I see him ?'

The surgeon said, 'I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it.'

Sally said, 'Why do little children get cancer ? Doesn't God care any more ? Where were you, God, when my son needed you ?'

The surgeon asked, 'Would you like some time alone with your son ? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university.'

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair.

'Would you like a lock of his hair ?' the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes.

The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally. The mother said, 'It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else.

'I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom.'

She went on, 'My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could.'

Sally walked out of Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car. The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room. She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them.

She laid down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep. It was around midnight when Sally awoke .

Laying beside her on the bed was a folded letter. ...

The letter said :

'Dear Mom,

I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say 'I Love You'. I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know.

Don't be sad th inking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly.

And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD ! And guess what, Mom ? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed.

Well, you know what Mom, God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you.

God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'Where was He when I needed him ?' 'God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.

Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool ? I have to give God His pen back now He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm sure the food will be great.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore. The cancer is all gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent Th e Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery ! How about that ?

Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.

1/3 MYF-> John maxwell,The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership #10

The Law of inner circle

• David and the Law of the inner circle.

Read Bible:- 2samuel,

8:1-8 (David and the first war)

8:15-18 (David became the king)

10:6-14 (David and the second war)

23:8-23 (David's mighty men)

Why David relate to the law of inner circle??

a) start with one-> When the LORD delivered David from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of saul, suddenly he met Jonathon. Jonathon change David's life, and become one of the member of David's inner circle.

David left Gath and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and his father's household heard about it, they went down to him there. All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around him, and he became their leader. About four hundred men were with him. NIV 1samuel 22:1-2

b) from misfits to mighty men-> TTT, David train the trainer!

c) Building a kingdom

Then the spirit came upon Amasai, chief of the Thirty, and he said:

"we are yours, O David!

we are with you, O son of Jesse!

Success, success to you,

and success to those who help you,

for your God will help you."

So David recieved them and made them leaders of his raiding bands. (NIV 1Chronicles12:18)

Question: How David gather all the Wise and excellent members?

• He started building a strong inner circle before he needed it
• He attracted people with varied gifts
• He engendered loyalty
• He delegated responsibility based on ability.

Specification of Inner-Circle qualities:-

I= Influential

N=Networking

N=Nurturing

E=Empowering

R=Resourceful

C=Character-Driven

I=Intutive

R=Responsible

C=Competent

L=Loyal

E=Energetic

Teammates complete one another-not compere with one another-

"For lack of guidance a nation falls, but many advisers make victory sure" Proverbs 11:14, NIV

Joab said"If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to come to my rescue, but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come to rescue you." 2samuel 10:11 NIV
