对今日诗句的想法
有些地方福音、见证、有计划的外宣事工难以企及,但歌曲却能到达。歌曲能将叙事、赞美、真理打造在一起来打开的心灵的枷锁,激起情感的共鸣。歌曲让灵魂赋予生命,搅动情感,唤醒上帝埋藏在内心深处的渴望。当你跟福音对象在一起的时候,不妨听听他们喜欢哪类歌曲。待时机成熟,就可以介绍那些可以激起他们心灵共鸣的福音歌曲。上帝要我们赞美他,不只是在圣所和教堂,也在与我们的朋友和各族各民当中。他要我们以歌唱的方式,来帮助他人了解我们救赎主情真意切的“心灵之歌”。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Songs go where evangelism, witnessing, and planned outreach sometimes cannot go. Songs tell a story, offer praise, and deliver truth in a package that opens hearts and stirs emotions. Songs give life to our souls and stir something primal buried deep inside us by God. When you are around friends you are trying to reach with the Gospel, listen for the kind of music they like. Then when the time is right, point them to songs that share the message of the Gospel with a melody and beat that can stir their hearts. God wants us to praise him — not just in our sanctuaries and churches, but with our friends and across cultures. He wants us to sing in ways that help other people know the "heart song" of our Redeemer's love. So let's sing of God's love among all the peoples!
我的祷告
全能的上帝和公义的父,我为歌唱这份天赋而感谢你。为抒情诗人抓住我们的心和情绪,并抓住你恩典的话语,使人与信仰更加贴近,我为所有这些而感谢你。请祝福所有参与把基督教歌曲带给公众,使您的圣言更容易让众人理解的人们。在你的教堂里赐予歌唱于能力,帮助我们触及地上各族各民的方式来歌唱你的救赎。奉耶稣的名祷告。阿门。
My Prayer...
Almighty God and righteous Father, thank you so much for the gift of song. Thank you for lyricists that capture the mood of our hearts and the word of your grace and help move others closer to faith. Please bless all those involved in bringing Christian songs to the public and making your Word more understandable to the masses. Empower singing in your Church, and help us to sing of your salvation in ways that reach all peoples on the earth. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
