改变自己才能改变世界
Change Yourself, Change the World
“这样看来,我们各人必要将自己的事在神面前说明。”
—–罗14:12
Every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
—Romans 14:12
对于卡尔·马克思的“宗教是人民的鸦片”的说法我不想去争执。我从不试图捍卫宗教。宗教曾引发战争。许多所谓的宗教人士已经被描述为偏执、傲慢、争闹,甚至容忍奴隶制度。然而,我要呼召你单单信仰耶稣,他说,“爱你的邻舍如同爱自己一样。”你真的关心吗?你对社会失望吗?如果是这样,我挑战你迈出第一步。我挑战你看看你自己的样子。
I do not quarrel with Karl Marx’s statement that “religion is the opiate of the people.” I never try to defend religion. Religion has spawned wars. Many so-called religious people have been characterized by prejudice, pride, bickering, and even tolerance for slavery. However, I would call you to a simple faith in Jesus, who said, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Are you really concerned? Are you disappointed with society? If you are, I challenge you to take the first step. I challenge you to look at yourself.
每日祷告
主耶稣基督啊!饶恕我,因我常常没有爱我的邻舍。愿别人看到我生命中带着你的爱和怜悯。
Prayer for the day
Forgive me, for so often failing to love my neighbor. May my life speak to others of Your love and compassion, Lord Jesus Christ.
