Dear Family and Friends:
Two weeks has passed by since I offcially retired from BGCO as the Church Planting Specialist. I have yet to enjoy the so called relax daily schedule as folks dreaming of. Between the moving of office from BGCO to the garage at home, leading a Christian Family and Marriage Conference and filing the Income Tax Return due on April 15, I was much busy than ever before.
However, I enjoy every moment of it for God is good, He has provided much of love and grace to us through you; friends from BGCO, Churches and Family.
The word "Thank you" is not sufficient to describe our gratitute toward your prayer, love and friendship. Jane and I thank you so much for your gifts, cards, flowers and words of couragement, it all so precious to us. Thank you and thank you again.
Here is what we are doing now; Jane is continue teaching her piano lessons. I have accepted the call from Trinity Chinese Baptist as their pastor, and to be a parttime Co-poster with Rev. Kirt Goss at All Nations Baptist Church, OKC. My email address (tlam@bgco.org) and cell phone (405-990-9122) are remained the same, NO CHANGE. For I will continue to be the Consultant
for Asian Ministry for the Church Outreach Team at BGCO. Well, Does it sounds like I am retiring? The difference is I set my own schedule, and One thing for use, there is a great joy while I am labor for the Lord.
I hope you will enjoy reading the article below through the internet link.

《豈可新布縫舊衣》
經文：可2:18-22; CCC; Rev. Paul Wang; 4/27/2008;
引言
什麼是新布？什麼是舊衣？為什麼新布不可縫舊衣？耶穌到底在講什麼？是在講禁食嗎？還是在講縫補衣裳？又或甚在講飲食天地？但不管怎樣，不能用新布縫舊衣，的確是耶穌在此很清楚地教訓。這也是我今天所要關心的題目：《豈可新布縫舊衣》。分三方面來講，先來看第一點：
新布的主人
可2:18 當下，約翰的門徒和法利賽人禁食，他們來問耶穌說：「約翰的門徒和法利賽人的門徒禁食，你的門徒倒不禁食，這是為甚麼呢？」
是呀，為什麼呢？如果是你，會怎麼辦呢？入鄉隨俗吧！人家約翰和法利賽人都禁食，你耶穌的門徒為什麼那麼不合群呢？你即使是要傳福音，難道不該搞好關係，以方便做事嗎？我們面對經文與我們所面對的現實世界，都是那麼錯綜複雜，不容易理出頭緒。
還是讓我們回到經文來看，中文聖經翻譯，用了「當下」，來轉折上下文。其實原文中就是一個連節接詞。表明兩段經文有非常密切的聯繫。我們知道上週講的主題是耶穌救罪人，或者是醫生治病人。當耶穌表明祂來是要來召罪人的時候，請問作為被召的罪人會怎樣？問問我們自己好了，當有人來說，你是罪人的時候，你會怎麼反應？我們的自我防衛系統很自然地就被啟動了。這就是這段經文的前提背景。
親愛的弟兄姊妹，這是否也是我們面對主時的背景呢？我們是否也正在啟動自己的自我防衛系統，不願意讓神來醫治你、拯救你？試問我們生命中這件舊衣還能縫耶穌為我們預備的這塊新布嗎？你對這塊新布有多少了解呢？你是否認識新布的主人呢？
請留意經文中的特別之處，反對耶穌的人不再單單是法利賽人，乃是約翰的門徒也在其中。這是什麼道理呢？
法利賽人怎樣，我們似乎心中早有定論。我們來看看約翰的門徒，他們的屬靈光景是怎樣的？我們來看可:1:14, 約翰下監以後，耶穌來到加利利，宣傳神的福音。就是說，他們過去一直牧養關心他們的老師不在他們身邊了。擺在約翰門徒面前的事實是，眼前的這位耶穌，居然有與自己老師不相同的地方。連禁食那麼重要的事情他們都不參與。難道還有什麼比禁食更重要的嗎？我們的以色列國，現在正在被羅馬帝國佔領；我們的人民也正在飽受羅寇的鐵蹄欺凌！不管你耶穌是誰，都應該為自己的民族、國家、人民來禁食禱告！
這裡有一個很重要的信息，就是別以為你是約翰的門徒就可以逃離法利賽人的酵。更加不要幻想自己是耶穌表哥的門徒就可以繞過新布的主人。我們每一個人所要面對的是獨一真神，並且除祂以外，別無拯救！我們看第二點：
舊衣的奴僕
耶穌並沒有反對禁食，乃是說現在不是時候。為什麼不是時候呢？因為禁食的關鍵重點有兩個：一是向神表達敬畏；二是求神的同在。耶穌的意思是，你們想透過禁食來求我的同在。但現在卻繞過我來求禁食的自義，那又何意義呢？
2:19-20 耶穌對他們說：「新郎和陪伴之人同在的時候，陪伴之人豈能禁食呢？新郎還同在，他們不能禁食，但日子將到，新郎要離開他們，那日他們就要禁食。
看見了嗎？耶穌劃出一條歷史分界線來，讓世人知道祂的道成肉身的同在。耶穌的目的是要人得見新布的主人而得自由，但約翰的門徒卻與法利賽人甘願當舊衣的奴僕。他們對禁食背後的主視若無睹，反倒對表現敬虔的禁食卻情有獨鐘。
親愛的弟兄姊妹，好不好讓神的話語來檢測我們的生命，看看我們有什麼是對準主的，還是對準自己的喜好？或者可能我們今天所做的，其實根本就是一種逃避。逃避誰呢？一是逃避主；二是逃避自己的良心。怎麼知道你是在逃避呢？用神的話語來對照：新郎和陪伴之人同在的時候，陪伴之人豈能禁食呢？
1. 當你靈修禱告親近主時，是否很容易讓別的東西來干擾？
2. 當你主日崇拜時是否難以投入敬拜？
3. 當你聽講道時，是否總也難以專心？
4. 當你上主日學時，是否好像沒有得著？
5. 當有人請你參加教會禱告會時，是否總有類似禁食的事情在攔阻？
6. 當你回到家裡的時候，是否覺得好像終於鬆了一口氣？
7. 是否覺得教會生活與平常的生活是可以二分劃開來的？
以上七條是否說中了你的一條？又或者是幾條？知道嗎？我親愛的弟兄姊妹，這就是今天經文裏所說的「舊衣的奴僕」！
好，問題找到了，怎麼辦？新郎還同在，他們不能禁食！就是說，耶穌永遠是我們的第一優先！優先到什麼地步呢？就是像禁食那麼高度敬虔的事情，也要在主面前讓位。話說到此，聖經說，有耳朵的就應當聽！
噯，這麼麻煩！可不可以不聽呢？可不可以耶穌是耶穌，我是我，就讓兩者各行其是、互不相干！行嗎？你耶穌讓我靈修親近神嗎？我就偏要去幹點家務。我心想：我這不是在效法你耶穌基督的謙卑服事嗎？親愛的弟兄姊妹，我們每個人都知道我們的內心深處有一種亞當犯罪之後的「眼睛就明亮了」的黑暗。我們對逃離神的「他施路」很明亮，最後卻被投入魚腹中的黑暗。然而，當約拿在魚腹的黑暗中重尋生命的第一優先時，他反倒重見天日。我們看第三點：
新舊的交替
說來容易，做時難！難在哪兒呢？難在我們對舊衣的不捨！我們看經文：「可2:21 沒有人把新布縫在舊衣服上，恐怕所補上的新布帶壞了舊衣服，破的就更大了；」本來我想今天找塊霉爛的舊衣，讓人上來作示範，看看會是怎樣的一幅圖畫。但找不到，不作也罷！道理很簡單，新布就是福音，舊衣就是領受福音的人。我們不能說，一方面要福音這塊新布，另一方面卻又不肯脫去舊衣。結果呢？本來耶穌基督所賜給我們的是新的生命，並且還要得的更豐盛。但因為我們是舊衣不脫，用新布來縫補舊衣，反倒使生命受到破損。
親愛的弟兄姊妹，講到這裡可能我們會比較容易明白為什麼我們信了耶穌的人，為什麼生命好像還是那幅破舊的圖畫呢？就是因為我們穿著舊衣補新布。這樣，破的就更大了！
有沒有想過，為什麼會信了耶穌，生命反倒破得更大呢？因為你不信耶穌，雖然最後的結局就是死亡，但卻可能是如青蛙在鍋裡慢慢地被煮死。世界的溫水是令人感到舒服的。但等舒服勁過了，青蛙的兩條腿就再也跳不起來了。
信耶穌不一樣，因為福音一來就要求人有一個「生死跳」！福音這塊新布是神為每一位神兒女量身訂做而預備的材料。我們要做的呢？就是脫去舊衣，穿戴耶穌基督的新布。不要自作聰明，硬是堅持要拿新布縫補舊衣。這是不可能的！福音的新舊是不能相合的，而只能替換！
可能講到這，約翰的門徒還是不明白。耶穌就再舉一個例子，我們看約:2:22，也沒有人把新酒裝在舊皮袋裏，恐怕酒把皮袋裂開，酒和皮袋就都壞了，惟把新酒裝在新皮袋裏。」
約翰的門徒不明白！你呢？你明白嗎？你是誰的門徒？是耶穌基督的門徒，對嗎？應該超過兩千年前約翰門徒的迷失！
結語
親愛的弟兄姊妹，你認識新布的主人嗎？你仍在做舊衣的奴僕嗎？你曉得福音的新舊是兩個完全不相容的生命嗎？今天的經文給你有怎樣的震撼呢？還是根本就已經沒有什麼感動了。
求主憐憫，求主幫助，讓聖靈的光可以照亮我們內心的黑暗，使我們明白新生命與舊生命無法相合的事實，看見舊衣上的污穢與霉爛，從而勇敢地脫去老我，穿上耶穌基督為我們所預備的福音新布。請問，你是否願意？
我們一同禱告……

I received email from Patty that the web site for the Texas Chinese Fellowship is ready to use. Please tell me what we should use it? What topic should we put on the front page.
It also contents many Sunday School material and sermons. What do you want to contribute to the library?
May I suggest that Jason write an article on the front page and each of us contribute an article introduce each church?
We may also use it to communicate the needs and service opportunities.
Please forward your work to me. I will prove read and forward to Patty to be posted on the web site. The reason for such prove read is to stop any porn articles that found a way to get to the web site. Patty told me that she will also include a blog for communication purpose.

4/16/2008_王保羅牧師牧者心聲(靈程札記): 留意身邊的幾種人之第三種人
因羞愧退後之人
Psalm.詩篇
70:1 神啊，求你快快搭救我；耶和華啊，求你速速幫助我！70:2 願那些尋索我命的，抱愧蒙羞；願那些喜悅我遭害的，退後受辱。70:3 願那些對我說阿哈、阿哈的，因羞愧退後。70:4 願一切尋求你的，因你高興歡喜；願那些喜愛你救恩的，常說，當尊神為大！70:5 但我是困苦窮乏的；神啊，求你速速到我這裏來，你是幫助我的，搭救我的。耶和華啊，求你不要耽延。
第一種是在行為上要人命的，第二種是在心裏想要人命的，第三種人是在口頭上要人命的。我想人一生可能難免會碰到其中一種人，對不對？可能最常見的卻是第三種人。因為第一種人如果見到了，恐怕也是兇多吉少了。第二種人也是不多見的，因為人心比萬物都詭詐，誰能識得透呢？換言之，即使有，也是不容易知道的。除非他在心中的苦毒積滿了，透過話語流了出來。
大衛的觀察是什麼呢？我們看詩70:3 願那些對我說阿哈、阿哈的，因羞愧退後。可能中東的文化是我們不能完全明白的。試想你在什麼情況下會聽到人對你說話時，「阿哈、阿哈的」！就是當你遇到口是心非的人時；或者是口蜜腹劍的人；又或者是勢利眼的人；其實最有可能的是那些飛揚拔扈之人。對不對？比如說拿八，大衛不得勢的時候，來向他收點「工錢」。就如拿八僕人所說的：「撒上25:16 我們在他們那裏牧羊的時候，他們晝夜作我們的保障。」結果呢，拿八恩將熟仇報，說，撒上25:10-11 「大衛是誰？耶西的兒子是誰？近來悖逆主人奔逃的僕人甚多，我豈可將飲食和為我剪羊毛人所宰的肉，給我不知道從哪裏來的人呢？」
你能體會這其中的口氣嗎？彷彿我們可以從拿八每一個問號後面聽到拿八的口頭禪：「阿哈、阿哈的」好在拿八的妻子亞比該是一個智慧的婦人，在大衛四百人來尋仇的路上預備了禮物，化解了一場血腥之災。但神對這類「阿哈、阿哈的」之輩卻不放過。撒上25:38 過了十天，耶和華擊打拿八，他就死了。
請問耶和華用什麼來擊打拿八的嗎？是用拿八心中的羞愧。因為他忘恩負義、恩將仇報。所以 到了早晨，拿八醒了酒，他的妻將這些事都告訴他，他就魂不附體，身僵如石頭一般(撒上25:37)。換言之，拿八基本上是被自己愚昧的羞愧給嚇死的！
大衛在神面前的禱告是願那些對我說阿哈、阿哈的，因羞愧退後。神聽了禱告，讓拿八永遠在大衛面前後退了。親愛的弟兄姊妹，如果在你生命當中遇見這等人，你還會動手打人、動口罵人、動心恨人、甚至動怒殺人嗎？你只要行在基督的旨意中，在神面前做對的事，神就會非常負責任地叫那些對你說阿哈、阿哈的，因羞愧退後。
《乃是召罪人》_Rev. Paul Wang's sermon 4/20/2008; CCC
《乃是召罪人》
經文：可2:13-17; CCC; Rev. Paul Wang; 4/20/2008
經文：可2:13-17; CCC; Rev. Paul Wang; 4/20/2008
引言
可2:13 耶穌又出到海邊去，眾人都就了他來，他便教訓他們。耶穌為什麼又出到海邊？因為耶穌曾經順著加利利的海邊走，呼召門徒(可1:16)。
呼召了誰呢？聖經說就兩個人，是西門和西門的兄弟安得烈，就是耶穌基督的大弟子彼得及他的弟弟安得烈。我想可能這也是猶太人的傳統，中國人一樣，都是按照先來後到的規矩來排定次序。彼得之所以被稱為大弟子，可能由此而來。
今天的經文告訴我們，耶穌又出到海邊的時候，已經是眾人都就了他來。聖經作者這種漸進式的文學手法，是要表達一種非常強烈的擴展信息：眾人啊！你們當趁著耶穌可尋找之時，當起來跟隨主！因為祂愛我們，為罪人捨命！祂來，乃是召罪人！我們來看第一點：
趁著耶穌經過，當起來跟隨主
可2:14 耶穌經過的時候，看見亞勒腓的兒子利未坐在稅關上，就對他說：「你跟從我來。」他就起來，跟從了耶穌。
什麼是耶穌經過的時候？就是你被主看見的時候。聖經說，耶穌經過的時候，看見了亞勒腓的兒子利未坐在稅關上。如果是當時代的人聽見這句話，就會對你說，耶穌經過的時候，看見一個罪人正在犯罪。
為什麼這麼說呢？我們知道，利未這個名字是以色列的老三，被神揀選作祭司的職份。所以，利未是一個榮耀的名字。但是，當有人稱一個叫利未的人是勒腓的兒子的時候，情況就完全不一樣了。他在社會上的名聲不好，有點像是我們中國心目中的「漢奸」。也許真的有人稱他為「猶奸」。我想包括他自己在內都知道，作為亞勒腓的兒子利未，基本上就是罪人的代名詞。
利未每天坐在稅關上的日子是滿而不足的。什麼意思呢？雖然每天他見到有大批白花花的銀子經過他的手被收進關裏，卻只是見的多，得的少。即使比別人得的多些，卻又不得不付上非常沉重的代價。我們可以想像利未所過的日子是連他自己都知道的，一種毫無意義、沒有盼望的日子。他生命的前途基本上就是在等死。
但是，他萬萬都想不到的是，今天，耶穌經過他的稅關。耶穌是偶然不小心地經過嗎？當然不是！顯然耶穌不會是第一次經過。但這一次，耶穌的眼目臨到利未。聖經非常仔細地描述耶穌經過的時候，看見亞勒腓的兒子利未坐在稅關上。試問一個罪人正在犯罪有什麼好看的？但耶穌基督說我是為這事出來的(可1:38)！
耶穌不但是經過，看見，還對他說：「你跟從我來」！想想我們自己，不也是神藉著某一個人的經過，來呼召我們的嗎？我們在座當中是不是像利未那樣，他就起來，跟從了耶穌。後來，這位利未成為耶穌的門徒。這種人對世界很傻，對耶穌很敏銳。耶穌一叫，他就來跟隨了。我觀察這種人在世界上是少數人。多數人是怎樣的呢？我們看第二點：
趁著耶穌坐席，當起來跟隨主
顯然耶穌呼召利未不單單為了利未，因為利未是一呼召就跟隨主。好像並沒有半點猶疑！那就帶著利未到曠野去，到貧窮地方去！多好！那就不會被人議論與批評，對不對？
我們看聖經是怎麼說耶穌坐席的：可2:15 耶穌在利未家裏坐席的時候，有好些稅吏和罪人與耶穌並門徒一同坐席，因為這樣的人多，他們也跟隨耶穌。看來利未還帶來其他的稅吏，就是他的同事，及平時在罪中玩樂在一起的人。
大家不妨想想看，我們也好像是生活在職場上的利未，對不對？我們上班工作的職場上不乏稅吏和罪人，對不對？知道嗎？今天的經文給我們一個挑戰，是效法當年的利未，將人帶回到有耶穌並門徒一同坐席的地方來。知道那是什麼地方嗎？我想有人猜到了，就是教會。
或者可以換個角度來說，就是由教會弟兄姊妹帶領人回教會是神在這末世中拯救人靈魂的主要方法。怎麼知道呢？經上說：因為這樣的人多，他們也跟隨耶穌。原來大多數跟隨耶穌的人都是這樣來到教會的。怎麼樣呢？就是由在座的每一位將你所能接觸到的人帶領回到耶穌並門徒一同坐席的地方來。
聖經沒有用太多的筆墨來描述形容利未是怎樣邀請人到耶穌面前。我猜想他會這樣對他的朋友說：「今天耶穌在我家坐席，你們也一塊來吧！」聽出其中的奧秘嗎？利未邀請人是去他的家。你呢？有沒有將教會當作是你的家呢？
親愛的弟兄姊妹，當我們趁著耶穌坐席，當起來跟隨主！耶穌在哪兒坐席？在有稅吏和罪人的地方，就是教會。也就是說，當我們今天活在教會這樣的恩典中的時候，當起來跟隨主！什麼叫跟隨主？就是與神同工，搶救人的靈魂。神的兒子為了這個緣故，為我們捨命。然後在教會中與我們一同坐席，鼓勵我們站立起來，跟隨祂。好不好我們今天就向神立志，在今年之內至少帶領一個人回教會，讓他有機會聽到耶穌在我們家的福音。你願意嗎？我們看第三點：
趁著耶穌同在，當起來跟隨主
耶穌經過時，當起來跟隨主！耶穌坐席時，當起來跟隨主！那麼，遇到困難呢？有人反對你呢？被人說閒話呢？被人孤立你呢？被人嘲笑你呢？被人輕看你呢？甚至是被神掩面不看你呢？
我們一同將可2:16讀一遍，來，「法利賽人中的文士（有古卷：文士和法利賽人）看見耶穌和罪人並稅吏一同吃飯，就對他門徒說：「他和稅吏並罪人一同吃喝嗎？」
你知道耶穌所面對的是什麼嗎？本來一群最懂聖經的法利賽人和文士，理應配合聖經中的彌賽亞，與神同工，完成神的救世大計。但當這些自以為是最懂神話語的人看見耶穌和罪人並稅吏一同吃飯，就心懷不軌，橫加指責，滿心論斷。但又不敢直接面對主，乃是用講是非的方式來跟耶穌的門徒說。說什麼呢？「他和稅吏並罪人一同吃喝嗎？」聽起來好像很屬靈、很公義、很聖潔！但令人心痛的是，從他們的話語裏，聽不到他們對稅吏並罪人的關心！
我在四年前與大家分享過，大約九年前，我剛到巴黎宣教工場，遇到一件棘手的情況，就是有一位過去的老朋友請我幫忙找人拍電影。我在其中也扮演一個角色，就是一個財產的經紀人。一位從中國芭蕾舞團的女主角來到巴黎，找她在巴黎做財產的經紀人的世叔伯，幫助她找一個又有億萬身家，又有愛情的白馬王子。在片中角色的我是一個生意人，就將摩納哥王子介紹給她。成就了一段所謂的愛情神話。
我跟導演要求，我分文不取，只是要允許我能夠向平日不容易聽到福音的演藝界人士傳福音。在教會公佈之後，大家也很踴躍，積極參與這次特殊的福音出隊。結果我們很有果效地向導演等人將福音講述清楚。連導演自己也說，從未有人那麼近距離地清楚地向他傳福音。
結果是什麼呢？在我身邊的文士和法利賽人，同樣也是用背後講是非的方式說：「他和稅吏並罪人一同吃喝嗎？」「他居然作為傳道人，會去拍電影？！」然後不惜花錢去買這部電影的DVD，到處散播：「王牧師其人，正如影片中他所扮演的角色！」我受到這樣的污辱，心裏是很難過的。因為傷害我的人，都是我曾經非常尊敬的文士和法利賽人。
親愛的弟兄姊妹，你知道我是靠什麼挺過來的嗎？是耶穌的同在！你知道耶穌是怎麼說的嗎？可2:17 耶穌聽見，就對他們說：「康健的人用不著醫生，有病的人才用得著；我來本不是召義人，乃是召罪人。」耶穌的話使我堅信：祂所愛的罪人！那些自以為是的康健的人，其實並不健康，他們並不需要耶穌基督這位大醫生。那耶穌基督就很清楚地宣告：「我來本不是召義人，乃是召罪人。」
結語
親愛的弟兄姊妹，如果說耶穌經過是神的揀選，耶穌坐席是神的恩典，那麼，神的同在則是神對祂兒女永遠的保障！你知道這其中的奧秘是什麼嗎？就是因為耶穌說：「我來本不是召義人，乃是召罪人。」就是你、就是我、就是我們將要靠神恩典帶領，回到教會的罪人！感謝主！
我們一同禱告……
Paul Wang's sermon: 《名揚天下》三講
《名揚天下》之一
經文：馬可福音1:14-38; CCC; 03/02/2008; Rev. Paul Wang
引言
今天講道的題目是《名揚天下》。哇！牧師有沒有搞錯？怎麼在教會裏講起要得名譽、地位的道來？是啊！除非我所說的名是耶穌基督的名！對不對？
今天我們所看見的經文就是耶穌基督自己剛出來傳道時所展現給我們的圖畫：就是怎樣透過教會裏的服事叫祂的名被傳揚！
V.28耶 穌 的 名 聲 、 就 傳 遍 了 加 利 利 的 四 方 。
如果我們將28節經文當作本段經文的高潮，會發現這節經文前後的經文都是為了配合說明這節經文而寫的。或者我們可以將28節作為教會服事的目的，其他的事工也是圍繞此而展開的。甚至我們可以將28節當作是主日崇拜。並藉以來檢閱一下我們自己的教會事工，有什麼是神今天對我們每個人所說的話。先來看第一點：
傳道的起頭(V. 14-15)
可1:14-15「約翰下監以後、耶穌來到加利利、宣揚神的福音、說、日期滿了、神的國近了．你們當悔改、信福音。」
14節是個轉折點：約翰下監以後。下監是關起來、收斂、停止的意思。這是包括約翰在內都不明白的地方。有時我們會覺得明明幹得挺好的，而且約翰也已經在曠野幹了多年，與耶路撒冷及猶大的群眾有很深的感情。但因為耶穌來了，我就被下到監裏。這件事情無論臨到誰也是不容易過的關。但試想一下：若是約翰不離開曠野，耶穌的事工也不易展開，更不必談什麼讓耶穌基督的《名揚天下》了。
這對我們的提醒是：或許自己現在也正在某些方面正在攔阻神的事工。特別是我做牧師的，就更加要儆醒自己：是否神讓我在這裏的事工已經結束？是否祂已經為我預備了一個新的工場是我沒有看到的？當然作業約翰就更加不容易了！因為他下一個服事的工場竟然是被下到監裏，而且是之前可能無法預料的事情。我們不妨回想往事，許多人往往是在無法預知的未來中準備自己的行裝，登上一條未必是願意或是準備好了的路程。對於我們今天已經相信、接受了主耶穌的人來說，要緊的不是自己所謂前途，乃是神的名是否被傳揚開來。
當然，對於耶穌來說，祂明白約翰的使命就是到此為止了！所以我們甚至看不見耶穌曾經制定一套拯救約翰越獄計畫，乃是專心在傳揚主的道！親愛的弟兄姊妹，這是一個最大的信心，而不是血肉的纏擾！有一天若是你們看見我因主的名被下在監裏，請不必太介意，因為那是主得榮耀、祂的名被傳揚的時候到了！你們若是繼續傳揚福音，就已經是對我的最大報答了！
傳什麼呢？日期滿了、神的國近了．你們當悔改、信福音。這是我們每個信神的兒女所當行的事情，就是將兩千年前出來傳的信息告訴你身邊的人！為了這個緣故，耶穌基督親自來到世上呼召門徒。我們看第二點：
主呼召四徒16-20
V.16耶穌順著加利利的海邊走、看見西門、和西門的兄弟安得烈、在海裡撒網．他們本是打魚的。
先來一同思想一個問題：什麼是門徒？就是跟隨主的人。從信徒到門徒的過程就是領受神呼召的過程。這個過程因人而異，有些人很快就跟隨主了，有些人卻要用很長的時間。被神呼召是一種與神性情的深交，絕對不是由你外表作什麼工作來決定的。一個呼召(Calling) 是由三方面組成的：激情（Passion）、異象（ Vision）、及行為（ Action）。
好，我們回到經文。耶穌基督為什麼要在海邊走？經文告訴我們，因為可以看見。看見什麼？看見在海裏打魚的人。
海是代表著黑暗與風浪的權勢，耶穌基督正是要將生活在黑暗中的你我呼召到祂的光中。這海邊就是一條分界線。凡是經過耶穌基督的呼召，從海裏來的人，就成為祂的門徒。像西門彼得、安得列、雅各、約翰等，不都是耶穌基督在海邊行走時所呼召的嗎？
親愛的弟兄姊妹，還記得我們曾經也是生活在世界的海洋裏面，對嗎？過去甚至可能現在我們當中仍有人以得魚為我們生命的目標。但一旦耶穌基督來了，就完全不一樣了！Ｖ17耶穌對他們說、來跟從我、我要叫你們得人如得魚一樣 。可能我們都很熟悉「得人如得魚」這五個字，但對於為什麼是得人如得魚就不求甚解了。
試問得人怎麼能如得魚？人和魚是兩樣完全不同的東西！除非當時這些加利利的漁民很成功，打的魚很多、很專業、很有打魚的激情（Passion）。所以這裡耶穌基督是說，我要叫你看見得人的激情，如同你們看見打魚的激情一樣！但有一條，你們必須跟從我！跟從的翻譯非常好：是既跟隨又順從！而不是跟而不從，或者是從而不跟。
Ｖ.18他們就立刻捨了網、跟從了他。你呢？你除了願意跟從，還是否願意捨棄你心中對世界、對老我、難以割捨的那張網嗎？請留意V.19耶穌稍往前走、又見西庇太的兒子雅各、和雅各的兄弟約翰、在船上補網。耶穌基督呼召我們的時候，我們難道不也正在補我們各自的那張其實已經破爛不堪的網嗎？
但感謝主！無論是16節中西門和安得列在海裡撒網，還是19節的雅各約翰在船上補網，跟從耶穌基督的呼召都同樣臨到他們。於是，他們都是用捨棄老我、財富、親人、及事業來回應神的呼召。
你明白他們為什麼能夠成為耶穌基督第一代門徒嗎？是因為他們捨網並沒有拖泥帶水、拖拖拉拉，乃是立刻捨了網！我這裡並不是稱讚他們的速度，乃是他們的回應：「耶穌一說，他們就……！」
親愛的弟兄姊妹，告訴你一個公開的秘密：主所要的正是這樣的人！如果有一天神的呼召臨到你，你會怎麼樣回應？是耶穌一說，你就去！還是手扶著犛耙向後看呢？這其中的關鍵是你如何面對神話語的權柄！我們看第三點：
主教訓眾人21-22
V.21到了迦百農、耶穌就在安息日進了會堂教訓人。眾人很希奇他的教訓．因為他教訓他們、正像有權柄的人、不像文士。
這會不會也像是我們今天的人呢？我指的是包括今天即使是已經來到教會的人。我們面對神的話語不也同樣感到希奇嗎？有時我講完道，會聽到弟兄姊妹對我說：牧師你剛才為什麼講我？我說沒有啊！那為什麼跟我的情況會那麼吻合？我說，我不知道你的情況，但神知道！於是，他就會說：那麼希奇！
親愛的弟兄姊妹，如果我們也和兩千年前的人同樣，僅僅是停留在希奇的階段，那我們就與他們沒有什麼區別了。要想與他們有區別，關鍵的是能否從神的話語裏看見神的權柄！你知道嗎？神的話語是大有權柄的！祂說有就有！命立就立！神說、要有光、就有了光！（創1:3）神說、天下的水要聚在一處、使旱地露出來．事就這樣成了！（創1:9）天地萬物無不因神話語的權柄而立即順服的，唯獨對待人，神沒有這樣要求，而是留下一個自由意志的空間，讓人自由地決定是否要順服。你呢？你的選擇是什麼呢？是順服呢？還是悖逆呢？或者就根本不當神的話是有權柄的，以為不斷地悖逆或忽略是自己的逃城。殊不知神是一位無所不知的神，我就是升到天上、神在那裡．我若在陰間下榻、神也在那裡（詩139:8）。
親愛的弟兄姊妹，你知道你在哪兒嗎？這個問題是神向我們人類所發出的第一個問題。你現在能回答這個問題嗎？
結語
我們一同禱告：主啊！我們感謝祢！透過今天這段經文讓我們看見祢當年在加利利「名揚天下」的服事：祢一出來就告訴我們天國近了！祢要求我們當悔改、當信主耶穌！你不是一個人傳道，你是呼召門徒來與祢同工！祢對門徒的要求是要有祢的呼召，包括Passion, Vision, 及Action。真是巴不得我們凡聽見你呼召的人，就向祢回應！因為這種一聽見就去的生命是祢所要的！祢知道我們的軟弱及無力，但求祢用祢話語的權柄來托住我們希奇與懷疑，幫助我們成為順服祢的人！因為我們走到那裡，都是在面對祢、回應祢的地方！
奉耶穌基督的名，阿們！
《名揚天下》之二
經文：馬可福音1:23-31; CCC; 03/09/2008; Rev. Paul Wang
引言
為什麼是《名揚天下》之一？是因為今天要講之二，下週還要講之三。這樣才完成了《名揚天下》的全部。上週我們看見主的榜樣，乃是要透過傳道、呼召及教訓，來使神的名聲被傳揚整個加利利。當神的權柄被彰顯的時候，一定會引起黑暗勢力的緊張。所以，當眾人很希奇他的教訓．因為他教訓他們、正像有權柄的人、不像文士(v.22)的時候，屬靈的黑暗就臨到了！我們看第一點：
主驅趕污鬼(V.23-27)
V.23-24, 「在會堂裡有一個人、被污鬼附著．他喊叫說、拿撒勒人耶穌、我們與你有甚麼相干、你來滅我們麼．我知道你是誰、乃是 神的聖者。」這說的是人話嗎？不是！那是什麼？是鬼話！怎麼知道呢？聖經說那人是被污鬼附著。被鬼附著的人有什麼徵兆呢？第一、對神沒有一顆敬畏的心。我們看見聖經裏所記載的被鬼附的人是隨意妄稱主的名。怎麼知道他是妄稱呢？因為他的觀測點是人的血氣，他只知道耶穌是拿撒勒人的耶穌。親愛的弟兄姊妹，耶穌在你的眼裏是怎樣的呢？是獨一無二的真神呢？還是別的什麼角色？
第二、我們與你有甚麼相干、你來滅我們麼。什麼意思呢？就是與神是沒有生命的關係的，並沒有什麼相干的！那麼你呢？親愛的弟兄姊妹，你跟主的關係是怎樣的？你跟主有關係嗎？在那人身上的鬼知道牠與耶穌基督並沒有關係，所以懼怕：你來滅我們麼？牠們是知道結局的！
第三、有知無信：我知道你是誰、乃是 神的聖者。這是最可怕的事情：明明已經知道耶穌是基督、是神的聖者。但就是不信！事實上，關於耶穌基督的歷史性、神學性等的知識、常識、及各式各樣的證據已經多而又多地顯明在世人眼前，但世上的人們仍然是知而不信。
親愛的弟兄姊妹，以上三種情況是不是也是我們內心的寫照呢？我們對神是否敬畏呢？我們與神的關係又好到哪裡去了呢？我們是否也是同樣：只是知道神，並非投入或非完全投入信心！這就是撒旦影響人對待主的三種態度。
檢查一下，看看我們有沒有受了那惡者的影響！若無，就當儆醒；若有，就當悔改，否則主的責備就將臨到：「耶穌責備他說、不要作聲、從這人身上出來罷。(V.25) 」其實主的責備是我們生命中的盼望：因為責備不到，污鬼不走！請留意，當主的責備臨到的時候，祂要求我們不要作聲！讓主的話來吩咐污鬼：「從這人身上出來罷」！V.26「污鬼叫那人抽了一陣瘋、大聲喊叫、就出來了。」
親愛的弟兄姊妹，被主的道潔淨是要付出抽風、喊叫的代價的！但感謝神的是：從此，那纏繞我們多年的污鬼，一聽見耶穌基督的責備，就出來了！而我們呢？因為懼怕主的責備，而任由污鬼在我們的心中作寄生蟲！寄生蟲就是已經很久的意思！
明知我們是屬神的人，但卻因為聽不得主耶穌基督責備的話，而繼續用自己的遮掩與自我防衛來逃避與拒絕。
這樣的後果是什麼呢？就是主的責備本來是對準我們內心裏的污鬼，但因為我們懼怕責備而抓住污鬼不放，以至失去被神潔淨的機會！
大家不要以為人鬼界線是那麼遙遠，其實離我們很近！你知道嗎？當我們行事為人在黑暗中的時候，就離鬼不遠了。比如說，我們如果習慣了愛在背後說壞話、怪話，其實就是與鬼同工了。我相信如果我們要趕走這樣的污鬼，單單抽瘋、喊叫是不夠的，更重要的是聽神的話：「不要作聲」(v.25)！其實當你在背後說了是非之後，平安就馬上遠離你而去！聖靈會藉著你的良心告訴你！
我們最大的問題就是自己太愛說自己愛聽、自己感到舒服、痛快的話了，而不太愛聽主的話！我想若是能夠接受「不要作聲」的責備，主耶穌基督就真的在我們身上掌權了！
但這是一件不容易的事情！對不對？否則，就不會發生第27節的事情：「眾人都驚訝、以致彼此對問說、這是甚麼事、是個新道理阿．他用權柄吩咐污鬼、連污鬼也聽從了他。(V.27)」
親愛的弟兄姊妹，你是否願意讓聖經中的新道理掌管你的心思意念？當有一天，等到我們因為肯順服神、也願意付代價，那怕是抽瘋、喊叫也再所不惜！
你知道嗎？如果我們不對付我們內心中的污鬼，主的名是不可能被我們傳遍天下的！即使傳遍了，也不是主的名，乃是自己的名，甚至是污鬼的名！請留意v.27, 當眾人見到神的作為的時候，即使是清楚地看見神的權柄，是怎樣吩咐污鬼，就是連污鬼也聽從了他！這裡是蠻讽刺的：就是污鬼聽從神，而眾人卻仍舊是糊塗、不明白的！仍舊在那裡彼此對問說、這是甚麼事、是個新道理阿！
聖經在這裡是說，連污鬼都聽從了主，使神的名被高舉，那麼，請問我們這些按照神的形象和樣式造的人又如何呢？是否也要聽從呢？
我們知道神是絕對尊重我們的自由意志的。但祂的名被高舉與傳揚卻不受我們的控制！我們若去傳福音，就有賞賜；若是不傳，使命卻已經託付給我們了。我們看28節：
名揚加利利(V.28)
「耶穌的名聲、就傳遍了加利利的四方。(V.28)」馬可福音的作者在這一節經文前面放了27節經文，講了四件事情：傳道、呼召門徒、教導及趕鬼。其中趕鬼這件事卻是離28節最近的經文。這說明若要主的名揚加利利，有一件事是不可忽略的，那就是趕走我們心中作怪的污鬼！不要以為這是不可能的事情，也不要覺得有什麼難為情的！我們需要的事面對、靠主、肯付代價、聽從主的話語！你願意嗎？
結語
我們一同禱告：親愛的主耶穌基督，你的意念高過我們的意念！當你的名被高舉的時候，萬名都要向你跪拜，甚至連污鬼也聽從了你！然而你卻留出一個讓我們自由來選擇的空間，讓我們自己來決定。主啊！你那兒有永生之道，離了你，我們去哪兒呢？求主幫助，求主憐憫，讓我們願意「不要作聲」、心甘情願地付出代價，即使是抽瘋、喊叫也是值得的！只求主的名揚天下！主啊，我在這裡，請猜差遣我！
我們這樣的禱告乃是奉主耶穌基督的名！阿們！
《名揚天下》之三
經文：馬可福音1:14-38; CCC; 03/16/2008; Rev. Paul Wang
引言
因為主的名是萬名之名！所以我們要將祂的名揚天下，而且一次不夠，要三次！今年我講《名揚天下》之三。我會從一間教會的角度來看這個問題，看看將主的《名揚天下》，與教會的日常生活有什麼關聯。我們先來看第一點：
主探訪醫治29-31
耶穌基督在這裡是給了我們一個教會「堵後門」的原則。什麼意思呢？就是關懷的原則。我們需要在主日崇拜之後，關心從教會前門進來的人。這是耶穌基督給我們教會的榜樣：祂在16到18節呼召彼得，在21節教導他，到了這裡29節，就關懷他的家人。請留意耶穌基督工作的緊迫感，是他們一出會堂、就同著雅各約翰、進了西門和安得烈的家(可1:29)。看到了嗎？是「一…就…」的結構，表示教會關懷的重要性並不亞於在前門呼召、教導。
可能我們會有一個想法，就是關懷探訪是牧師的事情，與我無關。聖經不同意這種看法，是他們一出會堂，而不是祂一個人。耶穌基督將教會彼此關懷的圖畫拉開讓我們來觀看。
或者我們會說，我都不知道去到人的家裏幹什麼！你請放心，這是神的責任！而你只需要將腳踏進約旦河，走出你人生的第一步！當耶穌和門徒進了西門和安得烈的家，看見了什麼？我們來看，一去探訪，服事的機會就來了：(可1:30)西門的岳母、正害熱病躺著．怎麼辦？你遇見有弟兄姊妹病了，會怎麼辦呢？去看病、去吃藥、去睡覺、去醫院等，都是可以的。但有一樣更加重要的事情，需要我們來學習的，聖經說，就有人告訴耶穌(1:30)。
親愛的弟兄姊妹，你知道嗎？這是我們第一件要做的事情。因為耶穌基督所行的是我們眼睛未曾看見的事情：耶穌進前拉著他的手、扶他起來、熱就退了、(可1:31)。你們怎麼沒有「哇！」的一聲叫出來？是不是已經司空見慣了？久而久之，可能連我們自己也不再相信耶穌基督有醫治的大能！你信嗎？彼得的母親蒙了醫治，她就服事他們。(可1:31)。
這裡面有一個屬靈的真理：神的兒女蒙了神的醫治，就當透過彼此服事來服事神。你呢？是否正在服事神呢？你明白神要你在祂的棋盤中充當哪一粒棋子呢？是只有你這唯一的棋子嗎？不是！是合城的人。我們看第二點：
主愛合城人32-34
天晚日落的時候、有人帶著一切害病的、和被鬼附的、來到耶穌跟前(可1:32)。不是一些，乃是一切！是誰在做這件事？聖經說是有人，沒說是誰。為什麼？因為不重要了！這「有人」的背後就是神。所以聖經連名字也不提了。這裡的真理對我們真的很重要：別太介意我們為神做了什麼偉大的事情，因為我們原是他的工作、在基督耶穌裡造成的、為要叫我們行善、就是神所預備叫我們行的(弗2:10)。如果將我們在神面前所做的工放進聖經裏，充其量可能被稱為「有人」。這不是說我們在神的眼裏不重要！福音書的作者是要我們專注在神的手是怎麼工作的。大家試想想：什麼人有這等能力？能夠有人帶著一切害病的、和被鬼附的、來到耶穌跟前(可1:32)？唯有神！阿們？
不覺得奇怪嗎？怎麼來到耶穌面前的都是一些害病的、和被鬼附的(可1:32)呢？是，也不是。說是呢，是因為耶穌真的關心一切的軟弱者。所謂人的盡頭，神的機會，就是這個道理。但這裡有個誤會需要解釋的：所謂神的機會是指神賜給人得救的機會。
說不是呢，是因為耶穌不但關心我們這些已經來到教會的軟弱者，祂乃是愛合城的人！包括我們還沒有信主的家人。否則祂也不會讓合城的人都聚集在門前(可1:33)。
這也是我們今天教會的使命：就是要讓佳樂頓合城的人都來到教會來。當然，不同的教會有不同的重點！我們作為佳樂頓華人教會，就是要以本城的華人為主的群體為我們服事的重點。幫助他們來到耶穌基督的面前。人來到耶穌基督面前幹什麼呢？聖經說，耶穌治好了許多害各樣病的人、又趕出許多鬼、不許鬼說話、因為鬼認識他(可1:33)。
有沒有想過，為什麼這裡又要提到鬼？不但又趕出許多鬼、不許鬼說話，還說是因為鬼認識祂。難道耶穌真的對鬼那麼大興趣嗎？當然不是！聖經在這裡又提到鬼，是因為要對你我今天讀到此經的人須要會意：「連鬼都認識主了！難道我們這些按照他形像和樣式被造的人，居然連鬼都不如嗎？這是需要我們反省的問題：你認識主嗎？你了解祂每天的行事曆嗎？我們來看第三點：
主曠野晨禱35
還記得一耶穌前一天的行程嗎？從會堂出來，就馬上去探訪，然後到了彼得家，醫治彼得岳母。然後可能召開福音小分隊的出隊前的會議，出隊的結果，就是有人帶著一切害病的、和被鬼附的、來到耶穌跟前。接下來更大的果效，是合城的人都聚集在門前。顯然，耶穌基督所牧養的教會在這一天，做成一件非常成功的服事。如果是你，接下來會做什麼呢？睡上一覺？大吃一頓？還是趕緊開一場研討會，出版專輯，製作光碟。然後牧師用賣書、及光碟的錢以奉獻的方式，將教會這麼多年所給的生活津貼全然奉獻回去。有些大能的牧者有這能耐，令我也羨慕不已。然而，有一件事卻是更加重要的是，次日早晨、天未亮的時候、耶穌起來、到曠野地方去、在那裡禱告(可1:35)。
奇怪，禱告真的那麼重要嗎？教會每個主日早上九點至十點的禱告真的就那麼重要嗎？可能我自己在床上禱告就好了，讓我多睡會兒！何必那麼形式主義呢？或者我就隨時禱告就好了，想起來就禱告，想不起來，神也不會計較。也搞不懂為什麼牧師老是那麼盯住我沒來禱告會這一點不放？反正多數人都沒有來禱告會，每次都是5-10人。我就隨大流，應該不會有什麼問題。是這樣嗎？這個問題恐怕我們要以耶穌基督為我們行事為人的準則，你說對嗎？
次日早晨，表示前一天我們是忙碌的、值得一提的日子。換言之，靈修禱告與忙碌無關。不能因為你很忙就不親近神！因為你的忙碌是不能跟主相比的！連耶穌基督自己都在萬忙中靈修，那麼你的百忙中也應該靈修。
為什麼是早上？因為這是你一天中「時間的長子」，猶如頭生的羔羊要獻給主一樣。不是能不能，乃是願不願意將最好的獻給主！
為什麼要在天未亮的時候？是因為耶穌基督才是那真光。我們豈能讓日光遮蓋那真光？想想看，你的決定是什麼呢？我這裡不是在講律法，乃是在講愛、講恩典，是在講我們內心的奉獻動機。
耶穌起來、到曠野地方去、在那裡禱告(可1:35)。為什麼一定要去曠野？因為那裡安靜，不受世事的打擾。我們靈修禱告的時候有沒有找一個固定的地點來親近神？
親愛的弟兄姊妹，你知道嗎？不堅持靈修，就沒有真正的能力！一遇到挑戰就會垮下來！沒有高質素的靈修，也沒有屬靈的方向，更不用說會作出合乎神心意的選擇。
主作出選擇36-38
人一成功就會有人來找你。耶穌也不例外：門徒來找，眾人都來找。但耶穌基督非常清楚祂道成肉身的目的，是到那裡傳道．因為我是為這事出來的(可1:38)。你呢？你清楚你這一生在神的計畫中充當怎樣的角色呢？你在佳樂頓華人教會這盤棋上充當哪一粒棋子呢？你在你家庭中是充當什麼樣的作用呢？你在你公司裡，神將你擺放在什麼位置呢？你知道劃分清楚的秘訣嗎？就一條：神是主體，而你我都是祂手中的一粒棋子。
結語
如果說主醫治探訪是為了顯明祂愛合城的人，那麼，祂在曠野中禱告，則是作出名揚天下的選擇的最大能力了！
我們一同禱告……
Carrollton Chinese Church Mission Trip Fund Raising
佳樂頓華人教會
短宣籌款Short Term Mission Fund Raising
April 17, 2008
敬啟者：您好！
我很興奮想與您分享一個與我們教會的短宣隊，透過亞洲短宣來一同經歷神的恩典的機會。
I would like to share with you the short term mission team of our church, how it helped us to experience His grace through our mission trips to Asia.
我們前四年所經歷的恩典足以印證神的手在我們當中所帶領的道路。從開始的單一形式的服事，到現在的多個地點的接觸與嘗試。從北歐到東亞，從台灣到大陸，從大陸到中亞，從海外進國內，從向民間宗教到無神論者，從向佛教徒到向回教徒，從教會到學校，從城市到鄉村，從富裕到貧窮，監獄到戒毒所，從沿海到內陸等。我們實在是看見神的大能在我們這些軟弱及不配的人身上，為祂打那美好的仗。
In the past four years, we can testify the grace of God among us throughout our mission journey. It transformed from one location to multiple locations. From Northern Europe to East Asia, from Taiwan to Mainland China, from China to Central Asia, from the coast to the inland, from folk religion to atheist, from the Buddhists to the Islam, from the churches to the schools, from the rich to the poor, from the prisons the drug rehabilitation centers, from the coast to the inland. We can see the power of God work among the weak and battle for His kingdom.
感謝主！今年我們有約十五至二十人參與短宣。今年短宣分成兩大版塊、三個重點：一是以中國山西太原為主，建立一個為神作美好見證及服事的基礎；二是以中亞吉爾吉斯坦為嘗試，摸索神的心意，開拓向回教徒傳福音的道路；三是以台灣東北部宜蘭壯圍為基地，以台中大甲為創新的宣教策略。
Praise the Lord! This year our mission team will have 15-20 people. We will divide the mission group into two teams with three purposes: First, we will go to Xiangzu Taiyen,trying to establish a base for future ministry. Second, we will travel to Kyrgyzstan, and seaching for the will of God and explore the possibility of minister to the Islam. Thirdly, we will travel to the Northeast of Taiwan, minister to the people at Yilan, we will also travel to Taichung and minister to Dajia.
其中，五月中旬至六月初，我們將以山西及吉爾吉斯坦為我們的宣教日程。六月上旬，我們將會完成在大甲的行程。順便講一下：大甲的日南教會是一間新建立的教會，這其中還與我們前年去短宣，在那裡傳福音有直接的關聯。我們此行的目的之一，就是去堅固他們的信心。最後，就是6/11 – 6/19以青少年為主的壯圍團的行程了。
From mid May to early June, we will be at Shanxi and Kyrgyzstan. At the beginning of June we will finish our Dajia journey. Dajia’s YeeNang church is a new church, it was the fruit of our mission trip back in 2006. One of the purpose of this trip is to strengthen their faith. Lastly, from 6/11 to 6/19 is our Chuanwai ministry which will be emphasized on the youth there.
從年初到六月，我們勤奮的準備5/13-6/19為期一個多月的短宣。神已為短宣隊在山西、別什凱克、大甲及宜蘭開了門，在公、私立學校舉辦美語營，同時去鼓勵當地的基層教會，及進入各個不同的企業及部門。
From the beginning of this year to June, we will be preparing for this month long mission trip. God had opened many doors at Xiangxi, Bishkek,Dajia and Yilan. We will conduct English classes at private and public school, at the same time, we will encourage the local church, and try to reach different businesses.
整個短宣所需籌款的費用約$23,000。我們相信神必供應我們的需要！我們也深信凡在祂宣教的事上奉獻的人有福了，因為他們是貼近主的心！我們請您用以下的方式來支持這次的宣教：

佳樂頓華人教會(美南浸聯會教會)簡介Carrollton Chinese Church(BGCT)
回顧
1989年，阿靈頓華人教會看見佳樂頓地區華人福音需要的植堂異象，當年就差派了以陳愛光牧師為代表的一群肯為主擺上的弟兄姊妹，來到這裡開荒，建立了佳樂頓華人教會。
1995~1996年期間，神賜下建堂的異象，並且感動弟兄姊妹為主大發愛心，建立起今天的敬拜、禱告、團契、服事的聖殿。在這期間，神差派韋饒元牧師，與眾位弟兄姊妹一道，完成了神所賜的建堂異象。
1996~1999年期間，神藉謝建邦牧師，幫助我們開始去思想、及建立了一個平衡的教會觀：就是教會不是單單一個外面的建築物，而更加重要的是內裏靈命的建立。
1996 至今，神藉寧思唐牧師還在達拉斯神學院讀神學的時候，就讓他看見在這裡有一群青少年需要牧養的異象，聽見他們的聲音。於是，就開始參與、拓展了青少年事工，及英文事工至今。
1999~2002神藉常思恩牧師，將行政管理的觀念提交到議事日程上來。並且幫助教會起草了教會會章的初稿。並且神藉著他過去曾在北歐服事的經歷，引荐了王保羅牧師來本會服事至今，滿足了教會需要牧羊人的禱告。
2002至今，神帶領王保羅牧師一家從挪威來到美國，開始在本會服事至今。2001年夏天，神帶領王牧師看見佳樂頓華人教會裏有一群渴望被牧養的弟兄姊妹，聽見他們聘牧的聲音，便好奇神竟能將成長背景相異的人放在一起彼此配搭服事、為的是要祂得著榮耀。於是，2002年夏天，王牧師舉家前來，看看這異象，印證這異象。經過一年的觀察，見有荊棘般的貧乏生命在埃及的烈火中燃燒，卻是燒不壞。因為神愛這荊棘，並為此捨命。
2003年，神在教會做了調整、潔淨、揀選、及重新奠基的工作。為教會重尋成熟的異象作了積極的調整。
從2004年開始，神帶領我們開始「鑄造異象」，而且是鑄造成熟的異象。有了異象之後，人就面臨著選擇。當年耶穌對那位少年官，說，你就變賣一切的分給窮人，然後來跟隨主。少年官面對耶穌給他的異象，不僅沒有跟隨主，反倒是憂憂愁愁地離開了。其實當年離開主的，不只是這位少年官，乃是大多數人。既然是大多數人都離開了主，留下來的當然就是精兵了。
耶穌基督正是帶領留在祂身邊的「精兵」來實現祂的大使命的。請留意，精者對也、優也，而非多也。我想這就是之所以神帶領我們
2005年的異象是「作主精兵」的主要原因。換言之，我們今天在教會堅守為祂作見證、傳福音的人，主稱我們為精兵。
既然如此，試問主的精兵的首要是做什麼呢？就是我常常與你們提起的，在整個大使命的經文中，主要的動詞是「作主門徒」。這是神兒女與神之間關係的基礎，沒有這樣的基礎，也就失去了作神兒女的意義與價值。我們感謝神，藉著
2006年，使我們教會進入「作主門徒」的階段，這是離開信仰開端地步的必要。如果我們認真地來回想教會的腳步，不難發現其實這三年是非常重要的三年！因為它們是打基礎的三年，非常重要！除非我們屬靈的眼睛關閉了，又或者我們從來沒有想過要「作主門徒」，否則，應該看見神奇妙的雙手所做的奇妙作為！
怎麼知道我們是正在「作主門徒」？最關鍵的是看我們是否正在「為主結果」！神就是這樣將我們帶到
2007年。日子在身邊擦過，也許我們這些健忘的人早已將神賜給我們教會的果子忘記了。簡單地說，我們有三個果子：屬靈生命成長的果子、宣教、福音的果子、及植堂的果子。
屬靈生命的果子：從2006年教會神學院開始以來，我們教會共有20人左右已經及正在寫靈程札記。這是神賜給教會今後數靈生命成長的根基。今年以來，除了神學生本身堅持不懈地寫靈程札記，方中教的主日學也已經開始有人交靈程札記。這是可喜的果子。我在想，若是今後我們教會人都寫靈程札記的時候，將會是一幅多麼美好的圖畫！寧牧師從現在開始寫，我打算用明年的時間讓他也進入這個「系統」，讓我們教會的青少年也養成一個寫靈程札記的習慣。這就是我們今年所謂「一領一」的本質。明年教會其中一個重點，就是每一位執事及同工，都成為2009年可以用靈程札記來帶領人的領袖。
宣教、福音的果子：也許我們沒有留意，神奇妙的雙手藉著我們的參與及配搭，我們竟然是差遣了一個宣教士家庭去法國里昂做法國人的工作。我們今年去台灣、大陸短宣的時間、人數及影響都是超過往年的。還記得嗎？我們共有約25人去參與，一路上可以說是浩浩蕩蕩，煞有氣派的。當然我倒不是說什麼氣派，乃是看見神藉著我們這群不配的人，去為祂結果子。我們的短宣共帶領約20人信主！今年還是要去！我設想是大概7/20至7/30，在台灣宜蘭壯圍、晨曦會及東海大學等地服事。然後是8/1至8/10在大陸服事。8/8/2008是本屆奧運會開始的時間，願神賜給我們服事的機會。
植堂的果子：12/1/2007是McKinney團契第一次活動，共有17人參加，而且大都彼此不相識。這是神的工作、這是美南浸信會的事工、也是我們教會的事工。下一次的團契是在1/12/2008，有感動的請踴躍參加。從二月份開始，神所賜下渴慕祂話語的心，我們又朝前走了一步：現在是每兩週有一次馬可福音歸納法查經。選堂址也正在進行中。
2008年的異象是「靈命更新」。什麼是靈命更新呢？為什麼要靈命更新呢？我盼望大家從一個經歷神的角度來看2008年的異象。
2008新之所新
好，今年是2008年，主題是「靈命更新」。新在那兒呢？
- 先談週五晚團契。
明年開始，我們的團契將按照教會的肢體功能來架構團契的內容。具體的作法是，將每月的活動內容按照敬拜、教導、領袖、會眾及傳道，分佈在每月的第一至第五週。
這樣一年將有十二次關於敬拜、教導、領袖、會眾為內容的週五晚團契，有四次以傳福音為主要內容的團契活動。不但是內容結構新，最重要的是，連負責週五晚活動內容的人也新：
每月第一週胡夢蓓姊妹負責的敬拜團契內容；
每月第二週彭惠強弟兄在負責教導；
每月第三週周竹瑛姊妹負責領袖團契；
每月第四週由王牧師負責會眾團契，其中有三次是雷鴻負責的宣教團契、兩次是高方中姊妹的靈修團契。
另外一年四次(分別是二月、五月、八月及十月)有第五個週五的，我們可以用來邀請新朋友。可以用這四次機會來專注在已經來的新朋友、當週來的新朋友、及將要來的新朋友上，看看神要我們怎麼樣關心他們。
- 執事會在靈命上全然一新！
- 我自己也會將自己的靈程札記透過牧者心聲等方式向全體會眾公開表達出來，接受弟兄姊妹的監督。歡迎弟兄姊妹隨時回應您寶貴的意見。彼此鼓勵，活在光中。
當2008年將要過去的時候，我們應該看見一個與以往不再一樣、有屬靈活力的屬靈團隊產生了。其特徵是「切實相愛」，為的是讓眾人認出我們真是屬於主的門徒。進一步的目標是當時光進入2009年時，我們的執事們可以用寫靈程札記的方式，來為教會栽培門徒了。
除了教牧同工會、執事會率先進入門訓的行列，在其他的方式下也會進行一些「試點」，如現在方中姊妹正在教的姊妹靈修班。我盼望這將成為2009年姊妹事工的基石。
- 青少年將以7-8年級、9-10年級、11-12年級及寧牧師四組為結構來展開明年週五晚團契的內容。四個第五週為特殊週五。詳情由寧牧師報告。
- 開始將兒童事工列入教牧同工會每週議事日程，特別是關心新朋友帶來的兒童，提請代禱。這需要我們大家為這座大廈添磚加瓦。
- 完成教會網頁事工：從明年起，爭取每月向會眾報告進展情況。讓弟兄姊妹的禱告成為網頁事工的支持及參與。
- 將週五晚的敬拜安排，列入敬拜部的事工，並由每月第一、四個週五教牧行政會議統籌參與。
- 短宣的變化。除了基本維持原本的壯圍工場以外，2008年我們的神學生還將與大甲日南教會配搭，為他們的門訓學員及同工進行靈修栽培。方式基本上就是教導「靈命造就」的密集課程。盡量每一位神學生都能參與教導及作見證。短宣日程方面，我初步的設想是：5/13-6/5, 我們將前往山西太原、吉爾吉斯坦、新疆、北京。6/6-19, 我們將在大甲日南教會、壯圍教會等宣教工場。
- 植堂的繼續。我們教會在植堂的異象上會持定腳步，以主的大使命為依歸，配合美南浸信會在McKinney拓展國度的看見，腳踏實地作僕人，服事那裡的人。為此，差傳部已經設立一個專門的戶口，供弟兄姊妹金錢奉獻之用。事實上，現在已經開始有人往該戶頭奉獻金錢。感謝主！願神感動肢體的心，以基督的心為心，多多奉獻，投資永恆的國度。
- 目前在我家的「McKinney異象團契」將逐步過渡到McKinney植堂異象中去。目前有幾位已具備浸禮前的準備，就算是我們教會為日後的McKinney華人浸信會的禮物吧。這些禮物是我們大家一同獻上給神的！決不是那個人的，乃是眾主肢禱告的功效！
展望未來
我們以前已經或將要走過的路是：
2004年：鑄造異象
2005年：作主精兵
2006年：作主門徒
2007年：為主結果
2008年：靈命更新！
我相信我們每一位在基督裏與神同行的人都不難看見以上五年神在我們教會裏留下的恩典痕跡，我們根據這些痕跡不難明白神的手將要在我們身上要做怎樣的工作。雖然我們不知明日要生何事，但有一點是很清楚的，就是2009年，我們將不再一樣！你相信嗎？不僅如此，我們更加相信的是，在2010年，神要帶領我們教會接受擴展疆界的挑戰！

Dear Pastors and church leaders:
Thank you so much for devoting a whole day last Saturday to study and pray about church planting among Chinese churches in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I am very much encouraged by your engagement and response.
I pray that this will not be just another meeting or event, but it will be the beginning of something important in His Kingdom.
In the meeting we have heard the mentioning of
a place: McKinney
a family who wants to have a church there.
a church who wants to start something there
I looked up from census.gov and this is what I found:
In 2000, McKinney had a population of 54,369 with 89 Asians
In 2006, it has a population of 110,123 and 3751 Asians.
The population has been more than doubled in 6 years, and the Asian population has multiplied 40 times!
The words of our dear sister, Ms Patty is ringing in my years, for so many years, Chinese churches have not done anything in church planting … I pray that this will change because of you.
Bro. Ted Lam said it well as we concluded the training last Saturday. "Just do it!"
I am looking forward to see what we can pray and start working together for a new work in McKinney. The window of opportunity is not always there.

4/15/2008_Rev. Paul Wang's daily devotion
退後受辱之人
Psalm.詩篇70:1 神啊，求你快快搭救我；耶和華啊，求你速速幫助我！70:2 願那些尋索我命的，抱愧蒙羞；願那些喜悅我遭害的，退後受辱。70:3 願那些對我說阿哈、阿哈的，因羞愧退後。70:4 願一切尋求你的，因你高興歡喜；願那些喜愛你救恩的，常說，當尊神為大！70:5 但我是困苦窮乏的；神啊，求你速速到我這裏來，你是幫助我的，搭救我的。耶和華啊，求你不要耽延。
主啊，祢知道，第一種人是要人命的。通常來說，這類人不多。人一生遇到這樣的人並不多。但站在一旁幸災樂禍的人卻是不少。所謂幸災樂禍的人，就是這裡所說的「願那些喜悅我遭害的」人。大衛面對這些幸災樂禍的人，他求祢讓這些喜愛他遭害的人，退後受辱。
主啊，是誰對我們幸災樂禍呢？我想是有些知道，有些是不知道的。大衛也同樣遇到這樣的人，甚至是自己的妻子、掃羅的女兒米甲。
我們還記得大衛跳舞的故事嗎？當他「歡歡喜喜地將神的約櫃，從俄別以東家中抬到大衛的城裏(撒下6:12)」的時候，撒下6:14 大衛穿著細麻布的以弗得，在耶和華面前極力跳舞。撒下6:16，耶和華的約櫃進了大衛城的時候，掃羅的女兒米甲從窗戶裏觀看，見大衛王在耶和華面前踴躍跳舞，心裏就輕視他。
為什麼她會輕視自己的丈夫呢？
第一、別忘了，米甲原本可是以色列的公主，何等尊貴的身份！大衛起初在米甲的眼中不過是自己眼中一閃的普通青年，所以米甲從一開始就瞧不起大衛。
第二、米甲是硬被大衛從丈夫家拉回大衛的王宮的。大衛得國之後，就向掃羅的兒子伊施波設施壓，撒下3:15， 伊施波設就打發人去，將米甲從拉億的兒子，她丈夫帕鐵那裏接回來。你猜這時的米甲是否還願意回到大衛身邊嗎？即使米甲可能多少也有些願意，那她丈夫呢？他願意嗎？當然不願意！撒下3:16，米甲的丈夫跟著她，一面走一面哭，直跟到巴戶琳。押尼珥說：「你回去吧。」帕鐵就回去了。
第三，此時的米甲，可能除了內心幸災樂禍外，對大衛已經毫無抵抗能力了。那怎麼辦呢？她就用誰也奪不走的能力來報復大衛：那就是詩篇七十篇所提到的「喜悅我遭害的」能力。
怎麼知道米甲是這樣的人呢？前面說了，聖經說她因為大衛王在耶和華面前踴躍跳舞，心裏就輕視大衛(撒下6:16)。等到大衛回到王宮，米甲陰陽怪氣的聲音就發了出來：「以色列王今日在臣僕的婢女眼前露體，如同一個輕賤人無恥露體一樣，有好大的榮耀啊！(撒下6:20)」原來大衛跳的是裸舞。我想可能除了「皇帝的新衣」可以接納皇帝在大街上裸舞，其他任何文化傳統都難以接受。
請留意大衛的回答，他所給出的原因或解釋，是與眾不同的！撒下6:21，大衛對米甲說：「這是在耶和華面前，耶和華已揀選我，廢了你父和你父的全家，立我作耶和華民以色列的君，所以我必在耶和華面前跳舞。」大衛是因為耶和華而歡呼，以至手舞足蹈！那為什麼要「裸奔」呢？說真的，我也難以為認同！我猜想我可能不太可能會因為任何事情而到大街上裸舞。
我們來看大衛的理由：撒下6:22 ，「我也必更加卑微，自己看為輕賤；你所說的那些婢女，她們倒要尊敬我。」原來大衛是以此來表達自己的卑微，甚至是自己輕賤自己！這是人在神面前極大的謙卑！不要忘記我們的主耶穌基督在十字架上是被人「裸掛」起來的。可以說這是一個男人蒙受最大羞辱的時刻！無獨有偶的是，大衛與耶穌基督都選擇了同樣的方式！
主阿，求祢幫助我們為了祢，可以為你捨棄一切！顯然這是大衛與米甲之間最大的不同。大衛面對這位躺在身邊，卻喜悅他遭害的女人，求神讓她退後！結果當然就是自取其辱了！聖經記載說， 「掃羅的女兒米甲，直到死日，沒有生養兒女(撒下6:23)。」我們可以想像，當時的女人，特別是國王的女人，一旦從生養兒女的舞台上退了下來，就真的只剩下羞辱了。
神對祂所揀選的人，其保守是信實的，並且是大而可畏的！所以我們不須為自己爭戰！相反，在神的眼裏，祂更加看重的是我們對那些退後蒙羞之人的憐憫。
親愛的弟兄姊妹，這樣的憐憫你有嗎？
Psalm.詩篇70:1 神啊，求你快快搭救我；耶和華啊，求你速速幫助我！70:2 願那些尋索我命的，抱愧蒙羞；願那些喜悅我遭害的，退後受辱。70:3 願那些對我說阿哈、阿哈的，因羞愧退後。70:4 願一切尋求你的，因你高興歡喜；願那些喜愛你救恩的，常說，當尊神為大！70:5 但我是困苦窮乏的；神啊，求你速速到我這裏來，你是幫助我的，搭救我的。耶和華啊，求你不要耽延。
主啊，祢知道，第一種人是要人命的。通常來說，這類人不多。人一生遇到這樣的人並不多。但站在一旁幸災樂禍的人卻是不少。所謂幸災樂禍的人，就是這裡所說的「願那些喜悅我遭害的」人。大衛面對這些幸災樂禍的人，他求祢讓這些喜愛他遭害的人，退後受辱。

請留意大衛的回答，他所給出的原因或解釋，是與眾不同的！撒下6:21，大衛對米甲說：「這是在耶和華面前，耶和華已揀選我，廢了你父和你父的全家，立我作耶和華民以色列的君，所以我必在耶和華面前跳舞。」大衛是因為耶和華而歡呼，以至手舞足蹈！那為什麼要「裸奔」呢？說真的，我也難以為認同！我猜想我可能不太可能會因為任何事情而到大街上裸舞。
我們來看大衛的理由：撒下6:22 ，「我也必更加卑微，自己看為輕賤；你所說的那些婢女，她們倒要尊敬我。」原來大衛是以此來表達自己的卑微，甚至是自己輕賤自己！這是人在神面前極大的謙卑！不要忘記我們的主耶穌基督在十字架上是被人「裸掛」起來的。可以說這是一個男人蒙受最大羞辱的時刻！無獨有偶的是，大衛與耶穌基督都選擇了同樣的方式！
主阿，求祢幫助我們為了祢，可以為你捨棄一切！顯然這是大衛與米甲之間最大的不同。大衛面對這位躺在身邊，卻喜悅他遭害的女人，求神讓她退後！結果當然就是自取其辱了！聖經記載說， 「掃羅的女兒米甲，直到死日，沒有生養兒女(撒下6:23)。」我們可以想像，當時的女人，特別是國王的女人，一旦從生養兒女的舞台上退了下來，就真的只剩下羞辱了。
神對祂所揀選的人，其保守是信實的，並且是大而可畏的！所以我們不須為自己爭戰！相反，在神的眼裏，祂更加看重的是我們對那些退後蒙羞之人的憐憫。
親愛的弟兄姊妹，這樣的憐憫你有嗎？
4/14/2008_Rev. Paul Wang's daily devotion
報愧蒙羞之人
Psalm.詩篇70:1 神啊，求你快快搭救我；耶和華啊，求你速速幫助我！70:2 願那些尋索我命的，抱愧蒙羞；願那些喜悅我遭害的，退後受辱。70:3 願那些對我說阿哈、阿哈的，因羞愧退後。70:4 願一切尋求你的，因你高興歡喜；願那些喜愛你救恩的，常說，當尊神為大！70:5 但我是困苦窮乏的；神啊，求你速速到我這裏來，你是幫助我的，搭救我的。耶和華啊，求你不要耽延。
主阿! 你藉大衛的口表達了一鐘不安的感覺。他用快快與速速來描述內心的恐懼, 彷彿災難即將來臨。我在想，是什麼人令你的僕人如此害怕呢？經文中大衛放進五種人，來表達他內心的感受。
第一種人是那些要大衛命的，大衛說要他們報愧蒙羞。我們人一生，有沒有什麼人是很想致我們於死地的呢？可能有，也可能有而不知道。但大衛有，而且是很親的人，一個是岳父掃羅，一個是兒子押撒龍，當然也包括戰場上的敵人，如歌利亞等。不管是誰，他們都是想要大衛命的人。
大衛向祢祈求的是，求祢讓這類人報愧蒙羞。為什麼會報愧蒙羞呢？因為他們的目的落空了！原本他們想要大衛的命，但因為神干預的緣故，這些人沒有辦法殺大衛。就如耶和華讓掃羅的人從山的這邊走，讓大衛的人從山的那邊走。
試想掃羅的心情是很灰心的，灰心到什麼地步呢？正是灰心到報愧蒙羞的地步。你說大衛敵人是否都報愧蒙羞呢？當然是！歌利亞，在永生神軍隊的面前罵陣，結果呢？是報愧蒙羞地死去！掃羅呢？一心追殺大衛，結果呢？被大衛剪了衣角而不殺他！往常我們解經通常只是專注在大衛對神的敬畏，不殺神的受膏者。
然而，不要忘記一點：被自己的敵人可殺而不殺，乃是最大限度的羞辱。別忘了，這是大衛的禱告！神應允了他!我的蒙召經文是賽41:9-10 你是我從地極所領（原文是抓）來的，從地角所召來的；且對你說，你是我的僕人，我揀選你，並不棄絕你。你不要害怕，因為我與你同在；不要驚惶，因為我是你的神。我必堅固你，我必幫助你；我必用我公義的右手扶持你。
我起初的理解是因為我是從挪威來的，算是北極地角之地，並以此為我的印證。如今蒙召已十七、八年，全時間服事也已經十五年。回想自己的經歷也可算是坎坷滄桑，甚至是不堪回首。其間所經歷的，也不乏歌利亞、掃羅之輩。當時感到驚恐不已！
但當我回到起初的愛，來到我的呼召經文面前，下面的經文出現在我眼前：「41:11-13 凡向你發怒的，必都抱愧蒙羞；與你相爭的，必如無有，並要滅亡。與你爭競的，你要找他們也找不著；與你爭戰的必如無有，成為虛無。因為我耶和華你的神必攙扶你的右手，對你說，不要害怕，我必幫助你。」我能說什麼呢？除了戰戰兢兢來到那大而可畏之神面前求憐憫，別無它途！我除了用我一生的忠心來報答祂於萬一，也找不到其他的活法了。同時我面對那些報愧蒙羞的人，求神給我有更多的愛與憐憫，像大衛憐憫掃羅一樣。
