Grace Restores Your Soul
/in upwords /by meilingGuilt sucks the life out of our souls. Grace restores it.
No one had more reason to feel the burden of guilt than did the apostle Paul. He had orchestrated the deaths of Christians, an ancient version of a terrorist. Yet, Paul gave his guilt to Jesus. Period. He surrendered it to Jesus. As a result he could write, “I am still not all I should be, but I am bringing all my energies to bear on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God is calling us up to heaven because of what Christ Jesus did for us” (Philippians 3:13-14 TLB).
What would the apostle say to the guilt-ridden? Simply this: Rejoice in the Lord’s mercy. Trust in his ability to forgive. Cast yourself upon the grace of Christ and Christ alone!

























神命定的三個節期
/in 每日親近神, 每日親近神-2026 /by meiling〈申命記〉 16:15在耶和華所選擇的地方,你當向耶和華─你的 神守節七日;因為耶和華─你 神在你一切的土產上和你手裡所辦的事上要賜福與你,你就非常地歡樂。
華人過節和以色列人過節有何不同呢?為何我們必須認識這些節日,這些節日對華人信徒有何意義?
華人過節,除了吃,還是吃,主題就是:吃,聚在一起,吃! 可能有時候小朋友會問過春節的意義,吃元宵,吃粽子的意義,對於那些故事和傳說,很可能每個人都有不同的說法,不同的流傳形成不一樣的故事。
但是以色列人的節日很特別,是神定的,不是人訂的。所以每一個節日都有不同的歷史意義,使以色列人記得他們和神的關係。
逾越節、七七節(五旬節)、住棚節,是耶和華神指定以色列成年男子要上耶路撒冷的三大重要節日之一。
