双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：9月9日 科学与信仰

九月九日

科学与信仰

“又因你们在他里面凡事富足，口才、知识都全备，”

—-林前1:5

真正的科学和我们的基督教信仰之间从来没有过任何矛盾。 我自己的感觉是，当所有的真相都被知道的时候，就会发现，创世记的故事是一个非常准确的记录，记录了当世界被创造时发生了什么。这或许只是一个记录了主要部分的缩影。但我相信它具有科学的准确性。因为不了解《圣经》里的一切，或世界上的一切而摒弃《圣经》是一件愚蠢的事。我亦想指出，教师应把自己局限于那些他们有资格从事的领域。我知道不信者通过他们的教导来攻击基督教信仰。即使他们根本不知道什么是真正的基督教信仰。例如，你不应该让一个艺术评论家去写一场足球赛，或让一个体育作家评价一幅画。求神赐你智慧，使你正确地来看待事情。最重要的是，每天认真阅读《圣经》和祷告。如果你这样做了，上帝会给你所需要的信心和智慧去面对任何问题。

今日祷告

天父，当我每天读《圣经》的时候， 你就向我开启更多你的爱和智慧的真相，我因你的话语而喜乐！奉主耶稣基督的圣名，阿们！

Science & Faith

He . . . has given you a full understanding of the truth.

—1 Corinthians 1:5 (TLB)

There is never any conflict between true science and our Christian faith. It is my own feeling that when all of the truth is known, it will be found that the Genesis story is a wonderfully accurate record of what took place when the world was created. This may be a telescoped record, giving only major points, but I believe it is scientifically accurate. To discard the Bible because we do not understand everything in it, or in the world, would be a foolish thing to do. Let me also suggest that teachers should confine themselves to those areas in which they are qualified. I have known unbelievers to attack the Christian faith through their teaching, even when they did not have the remotest idea of what true Christianity is. For instance, one does not send an art critic to write up a football game, or a sports writer to evaluate a painting. Ask God to give you the wisdom to keep things in their proper perspective, and—above all—faithfully read your Bible and pray every day. If you do, God will give you the faith and wisdom you need to meet any problem.

Prayer for the day

Father, each day as I read the Bible You reveal to me more of the reality of Your love and wisdom. I delight in Your Word!
