Are All the Children In?
by Anonymous Extracted from Poems and Hymns I think of times as the night draws nighof an old house on the hill,of a yard all wide and blossom-starredwhere the children played at will. And when deep night at last came down,hushing the merry din,mother would look all around and ask,“Are all the children in?” ‘Tis many and many a year since then,and the old house on the hillno longer echoes childish feet and the yard is still, so still. And…
We are Crossing Jordan River Together
Dear brothers and sisters, Let us lift our eyes to the Lord and march cross the Jordan River together in faith.
我们同过约旦河
弟兄姐妹们,神从前如何为以色列人打开约旦河的河水,如今也必照样为我们挪开一个个的拦阻,让我们再次以信心度过约旦河!
Our District Care – Truth Baptist Church
—by Rev.Zheng “Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household” Eph 2:19 The church is God’s household. Believers caring for one another graciously as members of God’s big family is a beautiful mark of a true church. Such care is the fibre of the community of faith in which our children grow up. In a time when people are becoming care-less towards one another,…
分区看顾 – Truth Baptist Church
郑璧卿牧师 「这样你们不再做外人和客旅,是与圣徒同国,是神家里的人了。」(弗2:19) 近年来把事奉心志放在好些弟兄姐妹心中,第二代的接班仆人也陆续站出来了。有了更多的膀臂,长老们专注做监督和教导的工作。这样我们怀着感恩和信心迈入第17年。我们实行‘分区关怀’也已经有13年了。 教会是神的家,信徒在神的大家庭中彼此相顾是真教会的美丽特征,也是教会生活的纤维,我们的儿女有福在这个信心社群 (community) 照管下成长。在人与人关系日益淡薄的社会里,这种和睦同居的社群生活是福音大能的见证。 我们正努力迈向一个目标,就是每一个团契都由长老照管,信徒在团契生活中领受完整的教诲和引导;在需要个人指导或劝诫时,所属团契的长老和执事就能及时给予与合宜的帮助。‘人人在团契中彼此建立、一同成长’ 是我们从起初就看见的愿景。 “分区看顾”并不取代牧者关怀,而是着重于促进住得靠近的肢体间的联系和照应。远亲不如近邻 (箴27:10),比如谁家孩子放学忘了带钥匙可以到挨近的人家歇脚做功课;生病的肢体有人送粥;周末可以相约带孩子到附近的公园野餐,或散步到附近冰淇淋店去吃冰淇淋;更美的是做联合家庭礼拜。这样你可与不同生命阶段的肢体交通,教会生活就更完全了。 今年我们共有七区。你若搬家,请你通知教会办公室,我们就会安排将你转入新住区的看顾里。若你在过去三个月固定在这里做礼拜,并愿意在真理浸信教学作基督门徒,你可以来向找我,我很乐意把你加入教会的分区看顾里。 按教会计划,今年我们在9月14日将分别在各区举行中秋福音联谊会,届时愿大家藉这个美好的机会彼此熟络,邀请亲友来我们的邻里听福音看教会,一同在传扬基督、见证福音里彼此相通!
