对今日诗句的想法
在我们开始新的一年之际，让我们记住那些与我们一起执行使命和推广福音工作的人们。如果我们是受传唤的传福音者或传教士，那么让我们承诺去祈祷赞美和感恩支持我们的弟兄姊妹。如果我们是教徒，那么让我们感谢那些在异乡传播福音以及那些在我们的国家跨文化跨地域工作着的人。与上帝的人分享上帝的成果确实是一个伟大的祝福和特权！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Special Note:
This year, we are basing our verse reference on the date as represented in the U.S. — January 4 is 1:4 from Philippians, and so June 6, for example, will be 6:6 from Matthew. This challenges us to look at important verses we might not have as our favorites and prevents us from turning the Bible into a set of our favorite slogans. We will find comforting, encouraging, motivating, convicting, and hope-filled messages throughout the year!
As we begin this new year, let's remember those with whom we are partnered in mission and outreach. If we are evangelists or cross-cultural workers for Jesus by calling, then let's commit to praying a prayer of praise and thanksgiving for our supporting partners. If we are members of a supporting congregation, then let's give thanks for being able to support those who share the Gospel in other places and those who work among different cultures and in different locations in our own countries. To share in God's work with God's people is truly a great blessing and privilege!
我的祷告
所有人民的父亲，给你的教会以更大意义上的伙伴关系，让之传达到那些不知道你的拯救之恩的人那里。保佑那些到处以爱，勇气和忠诚传播耶稣的道的人们。以唯一真正的救主耶稣之名，我祈祷。阿们。
My Prayer...
Father of all peoples, give your Church a greater sense of partnership in reaching those who do not know your saving grace. Bless those everywhere who share the truth of Jesus with love, courage, and faithfulness. In the name of the only true Savior, Jesus, I pray. Amen.
