《今日靈修默想》:「婚姻,人人都當尊重,床也不可污穢,因為苟合行淫的人,神必要審判。」(來13:4)

 默想一:基督徒的婚姻為什麼當受極大的尊重?因為婚姻是神親自設立的。婚姻不只是一張紙,它不像契約隨時更改,而是在神面前的盟約,是一生要持守的約定。「一男一女」(創1:27)、「一夫一妻」(創2:24)、「一生一世」(羅7:2-3)是神親自創造、設立、制定的婚姻,任何人擅改、或破壞神所命定的婚姻意義及關係的,不僅不尊重創造婚姻的神,神至終要追討他們任意妄為的罪。

默想二:如果人以投票把「同性戀、同性婚姻」合法化,基督徒要跟從或效法嗎?魔鬼擅用的伎倆是,把神所厭惡的不法用人的聰明給予合法化,把神的“不是”變成“是”。不要自欺,神是輕慢不得的。人種的是什麼,收的也是什麼(加6:7)

禱告:主啊,現今世風每況愈下,道德淪喪、性別混亂、家庭瀕臨瓦解,求祢加添我信心,讓我的家敢於跟世人不同,求祢幫助我勇敢地守護家庭,在黑暗世界裡作祢明光照耀的見證人。奉主耶穌的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.” (Heb 13:4)

Meditation one: Why should Christians’ marriages be greatly respected? It is because marriage was established by God Himself. Marriage is not just a piece of paper. It is not like a contract that can be changed at any time, but a covenant in front of God. It is a lifetime agreement to be held together. “One man and one woman” (Gen 1:27), “One husband and one wife” (Gen 2:24), “Lifetime” (Rom 7:2-3), which is created, founded, and established by God Himself. People who change or tear down the meaning and relationship of the marriage that God has commanded, not only disrespect the God who created the marriage, but God will eventually visit their iniquity of arbitrariness.

Meditation two: If people legalize “homosexuality, same-sex marriage” by voting, should Christians follow or go along? The trick that the devil uses is to shrewdly legalize the iniquity that God hates and turns God’s “do not do” into “do”. Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. (Gal 6:7)

Prayer: Oh Lord, today’s world is getting worse and worse. Morality is deteriorating, gender is chaotic, and families are on the verge of collapse. Please strengthen my faith, let my family dare to be different from the world trend. Help me to courageously guard the family, and, in the darkness of this world, to be a testimony of Your glorious light. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus, Amen!
