舊約人物: 底波拉 (士師記 第四,第五章) OT Character: Deborah (Judges 4 & 5) Topic 題目: “Strength is for service, not status.” “力量是為著事奉, 不是為体面或風光.”

2 Romans 15 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 羅 馬 書 15   我 們 堅 固 的 人 應 該 擔 代 不 堅 固 人 的 軟 弱 , 不 求 自 己 的 喜 悅 。 我 們 各 人 務 要 叫 鄰 舍 喜 悅 , 使 他 得 益 處 , 建 立 德 行 。

3 Romans 15 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 羅 馬 書 15  我 們 堅 固 的 人 應 該 擔 代 不 堅 固 人 的 軟 弱 , 不 求 自 己 的 喜 悅 。 我 們 各 人 務 要 叫 鄰 舍 喜 悅 , 使 他 得 益 處 , 建 立 德 行 。 Those of us who are strong and able in the faith need to step in and lend a hand to those who falter, and not just do what is most convenient for us. Strength is for service, not status. Each one of us needs to looks after the good of the people around us, asking ourselves, “How can I help?” The Message (by Eugene H. Peterson)

10 The “interdependence” principle “互相倚靠” 的原則
For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. For this reason, and because of the angels, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head. In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God (1 Corinthians ) 起 初 , 男 人 不 是 由 女 人 而 出 , 女 人 乃 是 由 男 人 出 。 並 且 男 人 不 是 為 女 人 造 的 ; 女 人 乃 是 為 男 人 造 的 。 因 此 , 女 人 為 天 使 的 緣 故 , 應 當 在 頭 上 有 服 權 柄 的 記 號 。 然 而 照 主 的 安 排 , 女 也 不 是 無 男 , 男 也 不 是 無 女 。 因 為 女 人 原 是 由 男 人 而 出 , 男 人 也 是 由 女 人 而 出 ; 但 萬 有 都 是 出 乎 神 。 (歌 林 多 前 書 )

11 Seek “win-win” situation for the Lord, not merely a “win and lose”.
為主尋求 雙贏, 不要滿足有人嬴有人輸. 2. Bring good out of the weak is edification. 帶出 別人的優點 就是造就人. Be the one who “opens the door” on great historical developments. 成為一位 開創 新局面的人. Those of us who are strong and able in the faith need to step in and lend a hand to those who falter, and not just do what is most convenient for us. Strength is for service, not status. Each one of us needs to looks after the good of the people around us, asking ourselves, “How can I help?” The Message (by Eugene H. Peterson)
