They Kill Vital Connections with God, August 15
开朗的宗教-第228章
“但那好宴乐的寡妇,正活着的时候也是死的”(提前5:6)。[1]
开朗的宗教-第228章
She that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.1 Timothy 5:6.{RRe 229.1}[1]
开朗的宗教-第228章
那些爱宴乐的人或许能保持敬虔的外貌,但他们与上帝没有活泼的联系。他们的信心是死的。他们的热情消失了。(MYP141)[2]
开朗的宗教-第228章
Those who love pleasure may keep up a form of godliness, but they have no vital connections with God. Their faith is dead, their zeal has departed.—Messages to Young People, 142.{RRe 229.2}[2]
开朗的宗教-第228章
他们虽身为教会的成员,却没有悔改。他们可能参加教会的礼拜,唱着赞美诗:“上帝啊,我的心切慕你,如鹿切慕溪水”(诗42:1),但他们是在作假见证。在上帝看来,他们与最邪恶的罪人一样坏。一个追求世俗娱乐的刺激,喜爱炫耀的人是不能侍奉上帝的。他们……不肯与肉体的情欲作斗争,反而放纵私欲。他选择罪恶的氛围。(COL269)[3]
开朗的宗教-第228章
Though church-members, they are unconverted. They may take part in the church service, they may chant the psalm, “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God;” but they testify to a falsehood. They are no more righteous in God’s sight than is the veriest sinner. The soul that longs after the excitement of worldly pleasure, the mind that is full of love for display, cannot serve God.... Such a one has no inclination to war against the lust of the flesh. He belongs to indulge appetite. He chooses the atmosphere of sin.—Christ’s Object Lessons, 270.{RRe 229.3}[3]
开朗的宗教-第228章
口头上的基督徒,属世的基督徒,都不熟悉天上的事。他们决不会被带到新耶路撒冷城的门口,参加那他们从不特别感兴趣的活动。他们没有训练心思,去喜爱灵修并默想上帝与天上的事。这样,他们又怎能参加天庭的崇祀呢?怎能喜爱他们在世之时所不特别喜爱的天上属灵,纯洁,神圣之乐呢?(2T .265)[4]
开朗的宗教-第228章
Professed Christians, worldly Christians, are unacquainted with heavenly things. They will never be brought to the gates of the New Jerusalem to engage in exercises which have not hitherto specially interested them. They have not trained their minds to delight in devotion, and in meditation upon things of God and Heaven. How, then, can they engage in the services of Heaven? how delight in the spiritual, the pure, the holy in Heaven, when it was not a special delight to them upon earth?—Testimonies for the Church 2:265.{RRe 229.4}[4]
