《今日靈修默想》:「他們天天同心合意恆切地在殿裡,且在家中擘餅,存著歡喜、誠實的心用飯,讚美神,得眾民的喜愛。主將得救的人天天加給他們。」(徒2:46-47)

默想一:真誠的敬拜只在主日的教堂裡嗎?不一定,主要是在每一天的生活裡活出基督。不僅在教會有敬虔的敬拜,在家也有敬虔的生活。對基督徒而言,我們的生活就是敬拜神。藉著事奉來表達對神的敬拜,而真誠的敬拜就是事奉主。

默想二:今天教會最有力的傳福音策略是什麼?是門徒訓練?是領人歸主?是追求靈恩?是禱告會?這些都很重要。但更重要的是在教會裡有沒有同心合一及彼此相愛的見證。我們的教會成為社區的祝福嗎?就看基督徒是否得眾人的喜愛。

禱告:感謝神,因基督是教會的元首。求祢光照我,讓我在教會裡學習過在地如在天的生活。不是徒有基督徒之名,而是在教會有用,成為神家裡的祝福。禱告是奉耶穌基督的名,阿們!

代禱:為今日全美國的禱告日禱告。求神藉著這次病毒,讓全民徹底地悔改認罪,回歸聖經,成為以神為國的國家。也為十一月的大選禱告,求主光照選民的心,讓他們識別謊言和虛假,在政界、商界和科學界選出合神心意的人。

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts. Praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” (Act 2:46-47)

Meditation one: Does true worship and prayer only take place in the Church on Sunday? Not necessary. Most importantly is to live out Christ in our everyday life. Not only have worship at church, but also live a godly life at home. For Christians, our life is to worship God. To adore God through serving and a true worship is to serve the Lord.

Meditation two: What is the church’s most powerful evangelical strategy today? Is it discipleship training? Is it to bring people to the Lord? Is it the pursuing of spiritual grace? Or is it the prayer meeting? These are all important. But more importantly is to have testimony in one accord in the Church and love one another. Is our church a blessing to the community? It depends on whether Christians are loved by everyone.

Prayer: Thank God for having Christ to be the head of the church. Shine on me, and let me learn to live in the church as if I were in heaven. Not to simply bear the title of a Christian, but to be useful for the Church and to be the blessing of God’s house. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Intercession: Pray for today’s prayer day across the United States. Pray for God to use this virus to make the whole nation repent and confess their sins, return to the Bible, and become a nation with God as their kingdom. Pray for the general election in November, and ask the Lord to illuminate the hearts of the voters, let them identify lies and falsehoods, and elect godly people across political, business, and scientific fields.
