台湾·黄传道 YTTC 2012.12.11
约 9 章
天生瞎眼的，被吩咐要去到西罗亚。历程虽然在两亩以内，但是有高有低，环山围绕。
当耶稣吩咐他去那里的时候，他很有信心地摸着去到那里。
之前，耶稣医治巴底买的眼睛时，只用了一句话。
拉撒路也是因一句话死里复活。。。等等
为什么这里要用土？而且是被吐了口水的土！
如果按照常理，这绝对不是医治的方法！
你们看不起这土吗？
主耶稣就是要用这卑贱的土来成为祂的工具。
就是要用它来彰显神迹、神的伟大、神的全能和荣耀。
撒上2:8他从灰尘里抬举贫寒人，从粪堆中提拔穷乏人；使他们与王子同坐，得着荣耀的座位。地的柱子属于耶和华，他将世界立在其上。
你觉得被吐口水的土很脏吗？
那是因为你没有瞎过，你不知道它有多珍贵！
当人走投无路的时候，凡是能治好的都是最好的。
当一个人患有医不了的绝症时，都会尝试任何希望，即使那个希望有多么不合常理。
而对于这个天生瞎眼的人来说，这个被吐口水的土就是最好的！
凡被神用的，他们都是最好的。
你想做神的工具吗？
你愿意做被吐口水的土吗？
赛41：14 你這蟲雅各和你們以色列人，不要害怕！耶和華說：我必幫助你。你的救贖主就是以色列的聖者。15看哪，我已使你成為有快齒打糧的新器具；你要把山嶺打得粉碎，使岡陵如同糠粃。
雅各是虫，一拍就烂。
虽然像虫一样弱，但是神会使他们变得想铁做的快齿打粮的器具。
但是如果你犯罪，你就是一只虫！
当不当被吐口水的土，是你能选择的吗？
赛10：15 斧豈可向用斧砍木的自誇呢？鋸豈可向用鋸的自大呢？好比棍掄起那舉棍的，好比杖舉起那非木的人。
我们无权选择当什么器具。
那要如何才能当这个被吐口水的土呢？
提后 2：21 人若自潔，脫離卑賤的事，就必作貴重的器皿，成為聖潔，合乎主用，預備行各樣的善事。
人能做到的只有这个，就是自洁，然后脱离卑贱的事。
诗歌415首，你认为你有资格唱吗？
当你在跟神说话的时候，你用什么身份跟神说话？
自洁，脱离卑贱的事，作贵重的器皿，成为圣洁，合乎主用，预备行各样的善事，
如果做不到，就没有资格做被吐口水的土！
羡慕那些被吐口水的土？
约瑟被卖，遭遇各种苦难，他原本圣洁，可是被卖到埃及当奴隶。
在雅各的儿子们当中，只有约瑟有资格当被吐口水的土！
约瑟拯救雅各一家，然后生大卫，大卫生耶稣。
因此，约瑟也是为了我们而受苦的！
再来，约瑟受苦，他有资格受！
保罗曾经说过一句很感人的话
罗马书9：1-3
我在基督裡說真話，並不謊言，有我良心被聖靈感動，給我作見證；
我是大有憂愁，心裡時常傷痛；
為我弟兄，我骨肉之親，就是自己被咒詛，與基督分離，我也願意。
换句话说就是：“如果我的兄弟能够得救，我愿意做被吐口水的土”
埃及王子，在宫中13年，他不快乐。
逃离罪中之乐，放羊40年，他也不快乐！
早上找草给羊吃，晚上防野兽来偷吃他的羊。
世界上没有人比摩西一样极其谦卑。
他做对了，这是应该的，
做错了，千错万错都是摩西的错！
人家做这个被吐口水的土，人家有这个资格！
PS: 当有一天你成了被吐口水的土，不只是你得福，大家也得福。

We are the Advertisement
Hey bro n sis, it's been a while since my last update.
The EMO Trend
Just here to share a very personal voice.
But youngsters nowadays are really getting into the "EMO trend".
Everyone gets EMO, well, everyone has the right to be; To be angry, sad, apologetic, and overjoyed, such expressions are simply human emotions.
And negative emotions become more rampant and overwhelming in your free time, like when you have nothing better to do. Haha. Just the human tendency.
Advertise
Well, since I am a media student, advertising a company, a product, a person is potentially crucial in today's context.
How do we advertise ourselves?
Think about it if you haven't.
Our every conduct and word, thought and expression, is advertisement of ourselves, and things related to us. "Rom 14:7, 8 For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone."
Advertise yourself:
imagine yourself as a product, you need to be of great quality.
you need to make sure you sell off a good image, to attract "customers".
As a Christian of the True Church, advertise yourself well, you are the Church's ambassador, God's holy vessel. You must lead a much more joyful life than any other "products", much more reliable and dignified, always positive and thankful in times good or bad, always smiling from the innermost core.
Why? Because you want to convey the Truth about having Christ, tell forth this to all friends, not necessarily by words, but by advertisement of your day-to-day lifestyle.
"Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen"
The Promise
bro n sis, thus, let's promise to live a much happier, joyful, forward-looking, godly life to attract the wanderers with the goodness of Christian lifestyle! It should really be the case. Christians are the happiest bunch even in the hardest of times, so live like one! God bless!

A smile.... means a lot.
I kept a smile but lost a brother.
I lost a brother,
because i ignored him in church
made him felt abandoned
I only busy on teaching RE and listen sermons
I didnt even give him a smile which he need.
Im so sorry.
I regret.
yet, everything is done.
I cant solve it.
Your smile might means a lot for the others.
Please dont keep your smile, it's not precious but it means a lot to the others.

Amidst The Joy
I can have more than 3 luxurious meals a day,
endless hours of online access to enjoy,
I have choices to pick what program I favour,
I am the king, as the Consumer is king.
Amidst such enjoyment,
what about those who lay by the streets,
pleading for shelter and a coin?
I can afford a car, my favourite CNY clothes,
money to belanja my friends and brag about my generosity.
An everlasting supply of material pleasure.
Amidst such pleasure,
what about those who have to toil under the Sun,
tottering from town to town,
simply to earn some meagre wages?
I, among the billions of the human race,
have been granted the status of the Son of God.
What nobility! What precious gift from on high!
A separated royalty, a chosen priesthood.
Amidst this spiritual Liberty,
what about those who shed tears and cry to the gods,
yet remain completely helpless;
helpless thus hopeless;
and with a sigh of finality,
life to them, is but lifelessness.
Okay, maybe you don't think life is that bad.
But I have witnessed such misery only recently,
from some who are of close ties to me,
but I have failed to share what I have.
I could only hope that someday,
before my love grows cold and my urgency vanishes,
God will open a way for the Blinded,
for those I love.
Let's count our blessings -which we have freely received-
thus share them with the human race.
Happy CNY 2012!

Recollect the Days of Grace
In the advent of 2012, let's recollect our past with
Psalm 65:
"Praise awaits you, our God in Zion, our vows shall be fulfilled."
Many promises made, but rarely kept.
Promises to read the Bible daily, to pray more,
to speak no foulness, to yield fruits of the Holy Spirit;
none lasted long throughout 2011.
"When we were overwhelmed by sins, You forgave our transgressions."
Again I nailed You back on the cross,
again Your tears fall, while Your grace lasts long.
Again Your forgiveness and love, last long.
"You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly.
The streams of God are filled with water."
Life in Christ so wondrous, evil enthrals but I now stand fearless.
His word so fertile and I shall no longer thirst.
"You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
you soften it with showers and bless its crops. "
The hardest ground, the harshest trials,
Out of the sure hopelessness, You make hope sprout.
Out of the impossible, You shower miracles.
Out of the bitter cold and sorrow, You straighten our paths.
These, I have all experienced.
And envisioning 2012, I shall do better only to repay Your immaculate love,
by glorifying You. Amen.
