诗篇 19:12-14
12 谁能知道自己的错失呢？愿祢赦免我隐而未现的过错。
13 求祢拦阻仆人，不犯任意妄为的罪，不容这罪辖制我，我便完全，免犯大罪。
14 耶和华我的磐石，我的救赎主啊，愿我口中的言语、心里的意念在祢面前蒙悦纳。
随着敲门声进来的是个熟悉的身影，落魄的身躯伴随着相同的哀求：帮帮我！我需要一些钱。我习惯的拿出右边口袋里的皮夹，打开皮夹，露出那仅有的一张，说：就只有一张，给你吧！带着失望和勉强挤出的谢谢，他离开了。摸著静悄悄躺在左边口袋里的几张钞票，在我里面的说话了：你有两个口袋！
许多人给我建议：你不能一直满足他的需要，你不能一直给他鱼吃，要给他鱼竿…我找不着鱼竿，似乎也不应该一直满足他的需要，我该怎么办？于是，我开始有两个口袋。我常为他祷告，求神带领他生命的改变，心中预想这将是极大的见证，而且我参与其中。看来，神并未悦纳我祷告，神的意念并非如此；他持续的失败，一败涂地到生命的结束。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Acts 5:33-42. As usual, I encourage you to read the passage yourself first and see what you can glean with the Holy Spirit’s help, then read the GAME sharing below. Let’s go!
Acts 5:33-40 (NIV)
33 When they heard this, they were furious and wanted to put them to death.
34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while.
35 Then he addressed them: “Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men.
On verses 33-40: The Sanhedrin, which is the assembly of Israel’s elders (Acts 5:21), wants to put the apostles to death for refusing to obey the Sanhedrin’s orders not to preach about Jesus (v33). But Gamaliel, who is both a Pharisee and a teacher of the law and who is highly respected by the people, uses his considerable influence to move the Sanhedrin in another direction. Ordering the apostles to wait outside, Gamaliel speaks to the Sanhedrin and asks them to carefully consider their next step (v35).
撒母耳记上 3:1-14 童子撒母耳在以利面前侍奉耶和华。当那些日子，耶和华的言语稀少，不常有默示。 2 一日，以利睡卧在自己的地方。他眼目昏花，看不分明。 3 神的灯在神耶和华殿内约柜那里，还没有熄灭，撒母耳已经睡了。 4 耶和华呼唤撒母耳，撒母耳说：「我在这里。」 5 就跑到以利那里，说：「你呼唤我？我在这里。」以利回答说：「我没有呼唤你，你去睡吧。」他就去睡了。 6 耶和华又呼唤撒母耳，撒母耳起来，到以利那里，说：「你呼唤我？我在这里。」
神呼叫亚伯拉罕往摩利亚地献以撒，他回答：我在这里！
神呼叫雅各带领家族下埃及，他回答：我在这里！
神呼叫撒母耳传达以利家的灾难，他回答：我在这里！
神呼叫以赛亚传讲悔改蒙拯救的信息，他回答：我在这里！
我们是否预备好？儆醒等候神的呼叫，立刻回答：我在这里！
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Acts 5:17-32. As usual, I encourage you to read the passage yourself first and see what you can glean with the Holy Spirit’s help, then read the GAME sharing below. Let’s go!
Acts 5:17-25 (NIV)
17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy.
18 They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.
19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out.
20 “Go, stand in the temple courts,” he said, “and tell the people the full message of this new life.”
On verses 17-25: The high priest is jealous of the apostles and the positive attention they were getting from the miracles God had enabled them to perform. The high priest throws the apostles in jail. Yet miraculously God sends an angel to deliver the apostles, taking them out of jail without being noticed. At daybreak the next morning, the high priest finds the apostles in the temple courts telling people “the full message of this life” (v20).
马太福音 17:14-21
14 耶稣和门徒到了众人那里，有一个人来见耶稣，跪下， 15 说：「主啊，怜悯我的儿子！他害癫痫的病很苦，屡次跌在火里，屡次跌在水里。 16 我带他到你门徒那里，他们却不能医治他。」 17 耶稣说：「唉！这又不信又悖谬的世代啊，我在你们这里要到几时呢？我忍耐你们要到几时呢？把他带到我这里来吧！」 18 耶稣斥责那鬼，鬼就出来，从此孩子就痊愈了。
车子飞快地奔驰著，心想还有半小时就到台南，应该可以准时回家吃中饭。一转瞬，街道旁中年妇人的身影闪过我的眼角，一身破烂、一根柺杖、还有缠着绷带且不断挥舞的双手，显然的，她在期待撘便车。荒郊野地，一位脏兮兮的妇人，让她撘便车，不方便吧！那根柺杖，会不会有危险啊！日头赤焰焰，随人顾生命……。是的！中午的日头赤焰焰，她的手可能要挥舞好久，才能盼到第二辆车子。心念一转，随着右脚的煞车动作，心中唠叨了几句，上帝啊！祢可得帮帮忙喔！保守我的平安。车子拐个弯，停在妇人的身旁。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Acts 5:1-16. As usual, I encourage you to read the passage yourself first and see what you can glean with the Holy Spirit’s help, then read the GAME sharing below. Let’s go!
Acts 5:1-11 (NIV)
1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.
2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?
On verses 1-11: What exactly did Ananias and Sapphira do wrong here? Weren’t they generous in giving money to the church? Did God strike them down simply because they kept a bit of the money for themselves? Are we not allowed to keep anything for ourselves when we sell something?
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Acts 4:23-37. As usual, I encourage you to read the passage yourself first and see what you can glean with the Holy Spirit’s help, then read the GAME sharing below. Let’s go!
Acts 4:23-36 (NIV)
23 On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
24 When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.
25 You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David: “‘Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
26 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his Anointed One.
On verses 24-26: Notice how much the early church relied on two habits: prayer and studying the Scriptures. Before the book of Acts, we see no record of the disciples searching and quoting the Scriptures themselves, but now after seeing the resurrected Jesus and after being filled with the Holy Spirit, the Scriptures become so important and alive to them.
罗马书 13:9 像那「不可奸淫，不可杀人，不可偷盗，不可贪婪」，或有别的诫命，都包在「爱人如己」这一句话之内了。
有一天我走路经过面包店的骑楼，恰好碰到我的研究生，我不经意的问她：「妳最近好吗？」打过招呼后，我们就各走各路。她来自大陆，先在德国读书，再来台湾修读双学位。她是女生，我比较不方便，也未曾关心过她的生活情形。几个月后，她完成双学位后到美国，她捎来一封信告诉我，「妳最近好吗？」那一句话温暖了她的心，安慰她思乡之苦，因为她出外读书多年，从未有人关心过她。从此以后，她在过年过节总会email问候，分享她在美国的生活，有时也寻求我的建议。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Acts 4:13-22. As usual, I encourage you to read the passage yourself first and see what you can glean with the Holy Spirit’s help, then read the GAME sharing below. Let’s go!
Acts 4:13 (NIV)
13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.
On verse 13: Peter and John did not have any formal education, but they had spent three years with the Word, Jesus Christ. You don’t need to have a formal education or spectacular worldly credentials to be used by God. In the end, all you need is to have been with the Word, Jesus Christ. The more you’ve been with the Word, Jesus Christ, who is wisdom personified, the more He gives you wisdom to live, to do relationships well, to pursue God-given dreams and to serve His people with power.
创世记 24:21 那人定睛看她，一句话也不说，要晓得耶和华赐他通达的道路没有。
书6:10 约书亚吩咐百姓说：「你们不可呼喊，不可出声，连一句话也不可出你们的口，等到我吩咐你们呼喊的日子，那时才可以呼喊。」
马太福音 27:14 耶稣仍不回答，连一句话也不说，以致巡抚甚觉稀奇。
以赛亚书 53:7 祂被欺压，在受苦的时候却不开口。像羊羔被牵到宰杀之地，又像羊在剪毛的人手下无声，祂也是这样不开口。
「一句话也不说」是信心的功课，亚伯拉罕的老仆人认真等候神，约书亚和百姓倚靠祂得胜，耶稣谦卑顺服天父旨意。许多时候，我们需要一句话也不说，定睛仰望神。
管理亚伯拉罕全业最老的仆人定睛看利百加，一句话也不说，要晓得耶和华赐他通达的道路没有。（创24:21）
约书亚吩咐百姓不可呼喊，不可出声，一句话也不可出口，等到呼喊的日子。（书6:10）百姓围绕耶利哥城六日，一日一次，第七日绕城七次，他们听见角声，百姓大声呼喊，城墙塌陷，各人往前直上，将城夺取。
