馬太福音7:1-2
你們不要論斷人，免得你們被論斷。因為你們怎樣論斷人，也必怎樣被論斷；你們用甚麼量器量給人，也必用甚麼量器量給你們。
網路一篇文章寫著：有個人初到美國不久，某天早晨到公園散步，看到一些白人坐在草坪上聊天、曬太陽。他心想：「美國人生活真是悠閒，有錢又懂得享受生活。」
走了不久，又看到幾個黑人也悠閒地坐在草坪的另一邊，這位先生不禁想到：「唉！黑人失業的問題真嚴重，這些人大概都在領社會救濟金過生活。」
一個人對同樣悠閒地坐在草坪上的白人和黑人，從既有的印象或認知，竟然可以產生如此南轅北轍的主觀想法。哈茲立特有句話：「偏見是無知的孩子。」說得一點都不錯，「人」合「扁」為偏，人一旦有了偏見，就會把「人」看「扁」、看「偏」了。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is 2 Kings 5:1-12. As usual, I encourage you to open your Bible and read the passage yourself first. See what you can glean with the Holy Spirit’s help. Then read the GAME sharing below. Let’s go!
2 Kings 5:1-12 (NIV)
1 Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the LORD had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy.
2 Now bands from Aram had gone out and had taken captive a young girl from Israel, and she served Naaman’s wife.
3 She said to her mistress, “If only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.”
On verses 1-12: Naaman was a high-powered commander of Aram’s army, yet he had a disease that his influence, intelligence and experience could not solve. He had leprosy. So with the recommendation of an Israelite slave girl in his house, Naaman gets permission from the king of Aram to go to the king of Israel to see if Elisha the prophet can heal him. Naaman brings with him a huge amount of gold and silver.
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is 2 Kings 4:18-44. As usual, I encourage you to open your Bible and read the passage yourself first. See what you can glean with the Holy Spirit’s help. Then read the GAME sharing below. Let’s go!
2 Kings 4:18-37 (NIV)
18 The child grew, and one day he went out to his father, who was with the reapers.
19 “My head! My head!” he said to his father. His father told a servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
20 After the servant had lifted him up and carried him to his mother, the boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died.
21 She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, then shut the door and went out.
On verses 18-37: Here God uses Elisha to raise a dead boy back to life. We’ll look at some of the lessons we can learn from this incredible miracle when we talk about verses 42-44.
But for now notice that the Shunammite woman was willing to pour out her heart in front of Elisha, but not in front of Elisha’s servant Gehazi.
啟示錄3:17-19
你說：我是富足，已經發了財，一樣都不缺；卻不知道你是那困苦、可憐、貧窮、瞎眼、赤身的。我勸你向我買火煉的金子，叫你富足；又買白衣穿上，叫你赤身的羞恥不露出來；又買眼藥擦你的眼睛，使你能看見。凡我所疼愛的，我就責備管教他；所以你要發熱心，也要悔改。
（今天的分享有點味道。）有個人去找醫生：「醫生，我一直放屁，但也還好啦，我沒有很困擾！因為我的屁不會臭，也不會響。其實，進來以後，我已經放了最少20個了，您都沒感覺，就是因為我的屁不會臭，也不會響。」
醫生說：「我知道了，把這些藥拿回家吃，下禮拜再來一次。」下禮拜那人再來看醫生：「醫生，您到底給我什麼藥？我的屁還是放個不停，雖然不會響，可是臭到爆！」醫生說：「很好！你的鼻塞已經治好了，現在要治你的重聽。」
許多時候，我們離開了神，走岔了路，但是渾然沒有感覺；因為我們心蒙脂油，耳朵發沉，聽見，卻不明白神的話，眼睛昏迷，看見，卻不曉得神的作為。

Today’s passage is 2 Kings 3:13-27. As usual, I encourage you to open your Bible and read the passage yourself first. See what you can glean with the Holy Spirit’s help. Then read the GAME sharing below. Let’s go!
2 Kings 3:13-14 (NIV)
13 Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What do we have to do with each other? Go to the prophets of your father and the prophets of your mother.” “No,” the king of Israel answered, “because it was the LORD who called us three kings together to hand us over to Moab.”
14 Elisha said, “As surely as the LORD Almighty lives, whom I serve, if I did not have respect for the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you or even notice you.
On verses 13-14: Elisha the prophet is approached by three kings: the idol-worshiping Joram king of Israel, the God-fearing Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and the king of Edom. Together they ask Elisha for guidance on what to do in their fight against the king of Moab. Knowing that Joram was a notorious idol worshiper who consistently disrespected the Lord, Elisha wonders, “Why are you coming to me when you can be consulting your idols?”
耶利米哀歌3:23-26
23 每早晨這都是新的，你的誠實極其廣大。 24 我心裡說：「耶和華是我的份，因此我要仰望他。」 25 凡等候耶和華，心裡尋求他的，耶和華必施恩給他。
26 人仰望耶和華，靜默等候他的救恩，這原是好的。
西元1814年，法國將軍陶美尼打仗時，被敵軍炸斷一條腿，負責擦皮鞋的勤務兵為此難過的哭著；陶美尼將軍斥責說：「哭什麼哭！你忘了嗎？軍人只能流血、流汗，不能流淚！以後我只要穿一隻皮鞋就好了，多方便啊！你只要擦一隻皮鞋就夠了，多輕鬆啊！」
有句話說：「命好不如態度好！」發生事情以後，執著過去已經不重要了，重要的是你怎麼面對未來！所謂的態度有部分是我們生活上的行為表現，更重要的是我們心靈的交託和盼望，也就是我們的信心！我們相信天父的慈愛，祂的憐憫永不斷絕。因此，信心將我們從痛苦的災禍深淵救拔出來，再將我們浸泡在喜樂的救恩泉源當中。

2 Kings 3:1-3 (NIV)
1 Joram son of Ahab became king of Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned twelve years.
2 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, but not as his father and mother had done. He got rid of the sacred stone of Baal that his father had made.
3 Nevertheless he clung to the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit; he did not turn away from them.
On verses 1-3: Joram becomes king of Israel and gets rid of the sacred stone of Baal (v2b), which his father Ahab and mother Jezebel had used to worship the idol Baal. But Joram still “clung to the sins of Jeroboam” (v3), suggesting that Joram continues to worship the idols that Jeroboam had set up. As such, “he did evil in the eyes of the Lord” (v2a).
哥林多後書13:5-8
5 你們總要自己省察有信心沒有，也要自己試驗。豈不知你們若不是可棄絕的，就有耶穌基督在你們心裡嗎？ 6 我卻盼望你們曉得，我們不是可棄絕的人。 7 我們求神叫你們一件惡事都不做。這不是要顯明我們是蒙悅納的，是要你們行事端正；任憑人看我們是被棄絕的吧！ 8 我們凡事不能敵擋真理，只能扶助真理。
一首十七年前的歌，一首孩子的歌，單純且充滿疑惑的歌；你我都相信，歲月增加，疑惑也增多，但是長大或垂老的我們，卻不再提問，因為我們自己就是問題。從提問的孩子成為問題的大人，你曾發現問題會問問題嗎？孩子的歌(譯詞) 這樣說：
在我的夢中，孩子們唱著，一首獻給所有男孩與女孩們關於愛的歌。
天色蔚藍，大地青蔥，笑聲是全世界唯一通用的語言。
然而，我驚醒，而我所看到的卻是餓殍遍地的世界。
每一天，我問自己，如何努力才能成為一個男人。
難道非要昂然站立且爭戰，才能向世人證明自己嗎？
難道就是將我漫長的生命，浪擲在烽火橫行的世界？
