与同工有冲突，如何善后？
时间：2011-05-15 14:18:41 来源：转载 作者：寇绍颖字号：T|T
⒈因着个性不同，作法看法不同，神学背景以及过去受教的领受不同，同工之间的配搭因接触频紧，关系密切，结果磨擦和争执是免不了的。
⒉一般说来，愈是个性强，作事认真，大发热心的同工，最容易起冲突，这也是撒但攻击我们最厉害的弱点，使我们灰心，失去同心甚至分裂教会。
⒊解决冲突不要拖延，不给魔鬼留地步，不可和同工心中有距离，要尽快地靠着神的爱（罗5：5），主动地和对方和好如初，正如圣经说：使人和睦的人有福了，因为他们必称为神的儿子（太5：9，23，24）。
⒋解决冲突，留心将误会解释清楚，许多时候因语言表达不清，多沟通，一起祷告，彼此认罪，对有过冲突的同工当留心多接触，不可敬而远之，一同就餐，一起事奉（保罗和马可）。
⒌解决冲突重点不在讲理，许多时候观念不同，个性不同，文化背景不同，并无绝对的对与不对，站在不同的立场，都有理由的，故解决冲突不在于统一看法作法，乃在于包容，和睦，多半要自己退一步为对方着想。
⒍我们事奉主跟随他，当有背十字架的心志，为维护同工间的和睦，同心，友爱，许多时候我们要先舍已，主若要我们天天背十字架，也要顺服抓紧主的手同奔天路。
⒎我们欲享受灵里完全的释放，事奉满有喜乐，有神的祝福和能力，必须在同工之间没有令你不愉快的人（当然不可有对头），因为一旦有磨擦，立刻靠主从心中和好，如此你的周围全是朋友，你的灵里有平安有释放。
⒏有时候冲突的发生，似乎是对方的错，但还是主动去和好，要为主放下面子和尊荣（这也是舍已），伸出友谊的手，顺从圣灵的引导，主必赐福。
⒐求主赐我们宽广的心，属灵的眼界（看得深远），可以接受不同的意见，可以和不同背景的兄姊一起事奉，因为传福音的使命太大了，需要很多人来齐心努力，把重点放在主托付的传福音和牧养羊群的事工上，接纳不同想法的同工。
⒑减少冲突的方法是我们当清心爱主亲近主，灵里饱足，圣工不要太过忙碌以致急躁不安，同时注意言语带着和气（西4：6）。

The PERFECT age/ time to serve.
Saturday, August 13, 2011
There was this little boy named Andrew. He was 6 years old.
One day, her teacher said, "Nobody is too young to serve."
Andrew felt that she could do something. So he told his mummy.
A- "Mummy, I want to serve God!"
Mummy- "Darling, you are too young. What can a K2 boy like you do? Serve when you have grown up."
A- "Okay, Mummy."
Andrew grew up, he entered primary school.
Teacher- "Andrew, would you like to serve?"
A- "No teacher! I need to get used to primary school."
Andrew moved on to secondary school.
Teacher- "Andrew, would you like to serve?"
A- "No teacher! I am taking O' Levels. I am too busy. I've got no time."
Andrew scored well and entered a Junior College.
Teacher- "Andrew, would you like to serve?"
A- "No teacher! I need to prepare for A' Levels! It's very tough. I've got no time. I am not ready to serve. Wait till I grow up."
Andrew had to serve National Service.
Teacher- "Andrew, would you like to serve?"
A- "But but but teacher, I don't know when can I book out. It's difficult for me to confirm. I don't think I want to even try."
Andrew proceeded on to university and then to working life.
FINALLY, he is officially an adult.
Teacher- "Andrew, would you like to serve?"
A- "No teacher! I need to work till wee hours in the morning! I am very very busy. I've got no time to serve. Let the others do it."
Andrew got married and had kids with his wife.
Teacher- "Andrew, would you like to serve?"
A- "No teacher! I've got no time! Can't you see? I have to take care of my young children!"
Finally, Andrew was 67 years old.
Teacher- "Andrew, would you like to serve?"
A- "Teacher, I would love to. But I am too old. I no longer have any energy to serve."
And he passed away at 68 years old.
Brothers& Sisters, when is the perfect age and perfect time to serve God?
When will you ever be "free"?
May God touch your heart today.
You need only be available to God. The rest, ask and it will be given to you.
There is no perfect time or age to serve. It all depends on your heart. Listen to God's voice. May He fill you with the desire today, this moment.
-Amen.

The Prayer of Jabez
Tuesday, August 9, 2011
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your hand would be with me,
and that You wouold keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain!"
So God granted him what he requested.
(1 Chronicles 4:10)
What great faith Jabez have in God!
He had faith that God will bless with if he asked for it.
Do you have such faith?
Why not?

SHARING! (:
MIRACLE 1: Thank you God that I have finished my FYP presentation. Now, I'm just left with the report! :D
I recalled the presentation day. It was, OMG. I must say it's quite intimidating, having lecturers listening to our presentation. I was the last one to present. When the third person was finishing up her "speech", my mind was in a blank. I was thinking of my original "speech" but it just didn't came. My memory failed me. -.- But God did not. I just said a simple and short prayer to kind of calm myself down and for wisdom from God to be able to at least say something?
And then it was my turn. With nothing in my head, I started to say something. It flowed well and I continued talking and talking. It was kind of amazing because after it ended, I felt weird. Didn't I had nothing to say? Really thank God so much! :D
& the lecturer posted me a question about the research project. I WAS VERY NERVOUS. DIE, I CANNOT ANSWER HOW HOW HOW? But miraculously, God gave me the wisdom to tide over the questions too. You might think that i am kidding. It can't be so much of a coincidence.
But, it's real. I find it very amazing too! Sometimes, God's grace is VERY OBVIOUS. But, do we notice it?
MIRACLE 2:
Staff: "Wow, you must have done well to receive a scholarship!"
Me: Eh, not really sir. (Guilty look)
Staff: Oh, then at least top the cohort or something right? Or else how to get the scholarship?
Me: I don't know! hahaha. (I laughed it off)
But the fact is....................................
I did not met the criteria required to get the scholarship.
So how do I get the scholarship? It is purely God's grace.
Isn't He awesome?
Thank you God! :D

Good news for a dying world
Sunday, July 24, 2011
Let's meditate on God's word! (:
- Be sensitive to the holy spirit.
Practical application: Make time to talk to god everyday! Be it 5 min, 10 min, MAKE TIME!
Then, keep silent to listen to what God says.
- Be well versed with scriptures!
Practical application: Read a few chapters of the bible daily! Memorize God's word!
- Be trained to share the good news!
So why share the good news?
1. People are still God's method of reaching out. YOU MIGHT BE THE ONLY CHRISTIAN SOME PEOPLE MIGHT EVER MEET. Share!
2. People are seeking for the true and living God. People need the Lord!
More applications! :D
1. Start praying for friends! Name them out (:
2. Cultivate friendships with your friends! Show that Christ is in you and you love them!
3. Live your life as a Christian!
4. Be alert to opportunities!
5. Learn how to share the gospel.
Yes, sometimes it is not easy to step out of our comfort zone. It's NEVER easy. But with God's strength, we can do it! Let's keep one another in our prayers!
Next week is our Gospel Sunday, if there are any friends you would like us to pray for, do leave their names down in the comments box!
May God bless you!
Amen.
