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。这是我自己的感觉，当所有的真相是已知的，你就会发现，创世纪的故事是一个奇妙的准确记录，创造这个世界时发生了什么。这也许是一个只记录了主要部分精简的记录。但我相信它是有科学准确性的。因为我们不能完全理解《圣经》里的事情，或世界上的事情，摒弃《圣经》是在做一件愚蠢的事。我亦想指出，教师应只限于那些他们有足够资格的领域。我知道不信者通过他们的教学来攻击基督教信仰。即使他们没有明白什么是真正的基督教。例如，一个人不应该让一个艺术评论家去写一个足球游戏，或一个体育作家评价一幅画。求神赐你智慧，让你以适当的角度来看待事情。除此之外，每天认真阅读《圣经》和祈祷。如果你这样做，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，求你向我开启更多你的爱和智慧的真相，我因你的话语而喜乐！

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!
