提摩太前书3:14-15 这家就是永生神的教会，真理的柱石和根基。
希伯来书3:6 但基督为儿子，治理神的家。我们若将可夸的盼望和胆量坚持到底，便是祂的家了。
在圣经里，神的家常是有形的建筑体，如：会幕、圣殿、会堂、或是现代的教会，更重要的是，神的家不仅是指神的居所，更是指那居所中属神的群体，神的家是神的百姓共同属灵的家。
大卫描述他对神的家的渴慕，说：「万军之耶和华啊，祢的居所何等可爱！我羡慕渴想耶和华的院宇，我的心肠、我的肉体向永生神呼吁。」（诗篇84:1-2）神的家是信徒心灵的归属，是渴望亲近神、敬拜神之处。
神是爱，家中有爱，神的家就是爱的居所，在这里，信徒彼此相顾，彼此扶持。正如耶稣所说：「你们若有彼此相爱的心，众人因此就认出你们是我的门徒了。」（约翰福音13:35）
神的家也是真理的柱石和根基。使徒保罗提到他指望快到提摩太那里去，那里是神的家，「这家就是永生神的教会，真理的柱石和根基。」（提摩太前书3:14-15）
诗篇31:7-8 我要为祢的慈爱高兴欢喜；因为祢见过我的困苦，知道我心中的艰难。祢未曾把我交在仇敌手里；祢使我的脚站在宽阔之处。
我第一次提出院内研究计画，是在接到副座电话后，为了协助医院顺利通过评鉴，答应他两周内把它生出来。正式开始执行计画时，我找了相关单位去咨询计画内容和统计分析，两位教授的不同反应，让我有深刻的体会。
先说第二位教授B，我一去就先被质疑我不是医师、不会写论文，接着他针对我提出的主题表示这项研究没有意义，不值得探讨。这位教授叹了一口气，就结束了咨询，我心想我付一小时咨询费，还有20分钟没用完呢！走到楼梯间，一阵委屈涌上心头，但真的感谢主，我前一天有先咨询另一位教授A。
这位教授A知道评鉴要求下我需要完成的任务，他认真听完我的简报，他说了很多，但我只记得他说，不要害怕做不出结果。咨询结束我要付费时，他表示为了帮助像我一样的研究新手，非医师的人首次咨询是免费的。后续几次咨询中，教授看得出我的统计基础是真的差，因此鼓励我有空就去旁听他的课。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Leviticus 23:1-14. With a humble heart, see what sticks out to you in this passage. Is there a verse, a phrase, or a lesson you think the Holy Spirit may be highlighting for you in this passage? After you’ve thought about the passage yourself a bit, read the GAME sharing below. Let’s go!
Leviticus 23:1-8 (NIV)
1 The LORD said to Moses,
2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of the LORD, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies.
On verses 1-8: When you read in Leviticus 23 of all the various feasts that God told the Israelites to observe, let it be a reminder that God loves to party. Notice that in Leviticus 23 God doesn’t tell the people to stop and complain about everything that’s wrong with their life or wrong with the world.
哥林多后书9:8 神能将各样的恩惠多多地加给你们，使你们凡事常常充足，能多行各样善事。
职场上最怕遇到不愿意好好做事的伙伴，但更怕遇到很努力但却能力不好的伙伴。遇到前者，就是离他远一点就好，尽量不要有业务的重叠；至于后者，就看能多狠心，视若无睹，看着他失败，但通常看不下去，还是会忍不住出手帮忙。
其实，教会中的服事也一样。遇到无法同心的人，会想干脆就各做各的，远远的距离比较容易彼此相爱。遇到做不来的人，就要自己多扛一点责任，要花时间帮对方做。
还好，我们的神，祂不只有「能力」能做任何事，祂也「愿意」为我们做任何事。祂不只有「能力」去爱，祂也「愿意」去爱。我想这是面对同事、同工的福音，也是看到自己软弱时的盼望。人会让我们失望，但我们可以跟神求恩典，把那「愿意的心」给我们，把我们所「需要的能力」给我们。

Leviticus 22:17-25 (NIV)
17 The LORD said to Moses,
18 “Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites and say to them: ‘If any of you–either an Israelite or an alien living in Israel–presents a gift for a burnt offering to the LORD, either to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering,
On verses 17-25: Once again we see that God’s holiness requires that almost all sacrifices need to be without defects in order to be acceptable in God’s sight. This reminds me that:
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Leviticus 22:1-16. With a humble heart, see what sticks out to you in this passage.

Leviticus 22:1-8 (NIV)
1 The LORD said to Moses,
2 “Tell Aaron and his sons to treat with respect the sacred offerings the Israelites consecrate to me, so they will not profane my holy name. I am the LORD.
On verses 1-8: In ancient Jewish culture, the Israelites considered each new day to begin in the evening when the sun set, not in the morning when the sun rose. In current Western culture, when we see the sun rise, we think, “A new day is just about to start”.
撒母耳记上 4:5-11 耶和华的约柜到了营中，以色列众人就大声欢呼，地便震动。 6 非利士人听见欢呼的声音，就说：「在希伯来人营里大声欢呼，是什么缘故呢？」随后就知道耶和华的约柜到了营中。 7 非利士人就惧怕起来，说：「有神到了他们营中。」又说：「我们有祸了！向来不曾有这样的事。 8 我们有祸了！谁能救我们脱离这些大能之神的手呢？从前在旷野用各样灾殃击打埃及人的，就是这些神。
「约柜被掳去」史实被记载于撒母耳记上第四章，当时以色列人正处于士师时代后期，「那时，以色列中没有王，各人任意而行。」（士师记21:25）
以色列人与宿敌非利士人交战，四千人倒在敌军手下，在困惑与恐惧中，长老们下了决断，他们寻求将约柜从示罗抬至战场，盼望耶和华的同在能扭转败局。
约柜进入营中，以色列众人欢呼，声震大地。非利士人闻声惊惧，说：「有神到了他们营中！」但恐惧化为愤怒，他们奋力一战，大败以色列人。那日，以色列三万步兵阵亡，约柜被掳，祭司以利的两个儿子何弗尼与非尼哈也战死沙场。
消息传至示罗，九十八岁的以利听闻约柜被掳，儿子双亡，当场仰倒而死。非尼哈的妻子临产早产，在绝命前痛哭说道：「荣耀离开以色列了！」于是，她给儿子取名「以迦伯」（字意是没有荣光）。

Leviticus 21:1-4 (NIV)
1 The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them: ‘A priest must not make himself ceremonially unclean for any of his people who die,
2 except for a close relative, such as his mother or father, his son or daughter, his brother,
3 or an unmarried sister who is dependent on him since she has no husband–for her he may make himself unclean.
4 He must not make himself unclean for people related to him by marriage, and so defile himself.
On verses 1-4: Leviticus 21:1-4 says that a priest could not touch or get near a dead person unless that person was a close relative, lest he become ceremonially unclean himself and unable to approach God.
以弗所书5:20 凡事要奉我们主耶稣基督的名，常常感谢父神。
前言：求神帮助我们在这混乱不安的世代中，转眼观看祂的丰富创造，领受祂的全然预备，在祂所赐的恩典与祝福里，感谢赞美祂！愿你今天充满喜乐！
《为著美丽的地面》(For the Beauty of the Earth)这首诗歌是英国作曲家卢特(John Rutter)创作的混声四部合唱曲目，歌词取自英国十九世纪诗人皮尔珀因(Folliott S. Pierpoint)创作的同名基督教圣诗，据传是诗人在春天时，受到英国西南部乡间自然景色启发，在满怀喜悦下所写成。
作曲家舍弃十九世纪德国作曲家寇贺(Conrad Kocher)的著名旋律，重新打造上行、富诗意的乐句，呼应诗人在面对自然与大地恩赐时的喜悦。
Giving thanks always for all things unto God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 5:20)
凡事要奉我们主耶稣基督的名，常常感谢父神。（以弗所书5:20）

Leviticus 20:1-5 (NIV)
1 The LORD said to Moses,
2 “Say to the Israelites: ‘Any Israelite or any alien living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death. The people of the community are to stone him.
3 I will set my face against that man and I will cut him off from his people; for by giving his children to Molech, he has defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name.
4 If the people of the community close their eyes when that man gives one of his children to Molech and they fail to put him to death,
5 I will set my face against that man and his family and will cut off from their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves to Molech.
On verses 1-5: Here we see God’s heart for children, how God absolutely abhors the practice of child sacrifice.
