对今日诗句的想法
“我宁可哪一天亲眼看见讲道，而不只是听见讲道。”我的忧伤，并非因为人们想要“看见讲道”，而是因为太多基督徒都没能做到“言行一致”。作为领导者，不论是朋友、父母或是在高位的人，我们最具影响力的是品格高尚的生命，反之亦然。你做到了自己所“宣讲”的道吗？想要引导他人，就必须做到这一点！为什么？因为大多数人都需要在付诸行动之前，既要听见，也要看见我们所传讲的信息。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Some critics of preaching and preachers say, "I would rather see a sermon any day than hear one." I'm not distressed because people want to "see a sermon." The life of those preaching should be consistent with what they preach. Some don't "practice what they preach," and their hypocrisy discredits the message of Christ in the ears of our critics. A leader's primary tool of influence is a life of faithfulness, character, and compassion. Whether the leader serves in politics, business, church, or family, godly influence is necessary! All who seek to influence others toward JESUShaped living MUST practice what we preach. Why? Because most folks need to both hear and see the message before it becomes a part of their daily lifestyle.
我的祷告
全能的神啊，请饶恕我、装备我，使我能够为主做工。父啊，请帮助我，我愿活出效法主耶稣的生命，带领人们认识主。我深知如果没有你的力量和恩典帮助我改变，我就根本无法做到这些，愿主帮助！奉主耶稣基督圣名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Lord God Almighty, please forgive me, equip me, and make me fit for your service. Please help me, dear Father, as I try to live a life worth imitating as I seek to lead others to Jesus and JESUShaped living. I ask for the Holy Spirit's guidance and strength because I cannot lead with faithfulness, character, and compassion without the Spirit's power and grace transforming my life. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
