对今日诗句的想法
我们在神的恩典之中所拥有的自由，是何等奇妙！然而我们的自由决未允许我们破坏弟兄或姐妹与主同行的脚步。让我们谨慎地使用自己的自由，尤其在对待基督里新生的弟兄姐妹时，更当如此。这些新生的基督徒们面前已经有足够多的阻碍，他们需要我们的鼓励！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Both Jesus and Paul emphasize that food and drink don't bring us closer to God or distance us from God — it's what comes from our hearts that makes us clean or unclean (Mark 7:14-23; Colossians 2:16). Their teaching means that we have incredible freedom as to what we eat and drink under grace in Christ. However, our freedom never gives us the license to destroy a weak brother or sister's walk with the Lord. We don't have a right to lead them into sin or cause them to stumble because of what we eat or drink. Let's use our freedom considerately, especially toward our new brothers and sisters in Christ. These new Christians need our encouragement; they already have enough stumbling blocks. Let's also focus on our hearts — what motivates us to do or not do, and what we choose to say, eat, and drink. Let's remember that whatever doesn't come from faith is likely going to lead us into sin (Romans 14:22-23).
我的祷告
满有恩典的神啊，请帮助我，使我能够鼓励新生的基督徒们以及那些信心软弱之人，为他们做好榜样。神啊，请帮助我，使我能够保守自己的生命不对他人产生负面影响。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
God of all grace, please help me to be an encouragement and a good example to new Christians and those who are weak in their faith. Please, Holy Spirit, give me wisdom and help me guard my life from being a bad example to others. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
