双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：9月26日 你可以讲道

九月二十六日

你可以讲道

“这天国的福音要传遍天下，对万民作见证，然后末期才来到。”

—-太24:14

我们是福音的管家，在天上和地上宣扬最伟大的福音的权力并没有给天使，而是给了被救赎的人类。这是对谦卑的平信徒而言的。有人以为只有牧师才能讲道，但那是错的。每个基督徒都是见证，每一个基督的追随者都应该传讲福音。

我们可以通过与他人分享我们的经历来宣讲。我们可以通过在日常生活中高举基督来宣讲。 看到的往往比听到的宣教更有效果。事实上：最好的传道方式是既被听见又被看见，那是一种视听的见证。我们也可以通过向别人奉献来传道，使他们也可以传道。宣教礼物、教会奉献、和慈善捐款等，这些都是你的无私和基督徒慷慨的明证。

在所有这些事上，我们都是上帝的同工。我们靠着祂的恩典帮助拯救世界。上帝今天比历史上任何时候，都更需要我们的时间、我们的才干、我们的见证和我们的金钱。让我们完全成为上帝的同工。

今日祷告

今天不论我走到哪里，使我意识到我所遇到人，他们需要祢的爱。因此，不论我是否可以向他们讲论祢，都要说慈爱的话，以某种方式服事他们。我愿意像祢，主啊，永远去爱，永远给予。奉主耶稣基督的圣名，阿们！

You Can Preach!

And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world . . .

—Matthew 24:14 (TLB)

We are stewards of the Gospel. The power to proclaim the greatest news in heaven or on earth was not given to the angels. It was given to redeemed men. This was addressed to humble laymen. Some think that only ministers are to preach, but that is wrong. Every Christian is to be a witness; every follower of Christ is to preach the Gospel.

We can preach by sharing our experience with others. We can preach by exalting Christ in our daily lives. Sermons which are seen are often more effective than those which are heard. The truth is: the best sermons are both heard and seen. They are a sort of audiovisual testimony. We can also preach by giving to others, so they may preach. Missionary gifts, church offerings, and charitable contributions all speak eloquently of your unselfishness and Christian generosity.

In all these things, we are partners with God. We are helping by His grace to redeem the world. God needs our time, our talents, our witnessing, and our money, today more than at any other time in history. Become a full, working partner with God.

Prayer for the day

Wherever I go today, make me conscious of the people I meet. They need Your love. So whether I can speak of You to them, say a kind word or minister in any way, I would be like You, Lord—ever loving, ever giving.
