一﹑本週經文Scriptures:
詩篇27:4 Psalm
我只有一件事,我仍要尋求,就是一生一世住在耶和華的殿中,瞻仰他的榮美,在他的殿裡求問。
4 One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek : that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.
約翰一書2:14 1John
少年人哪,我曾寫信給你們,因為你們剛強,神的道常存在你們心裡,你們已勝了那惡者。
14 I write to you, dear children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
以弗所書6:13 Ephesians
所以要拿起神所賜的全副軍裝,好在磨難的日子抵擋仇敵,並且成就了一切,還能站立得住。
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1. 為世代之間的和平禱告:不同世代之間的隔閡與衝突日漸惡化。讓我們一起禱告,人民不要因理念或思考方式的差異彼此爭論、互相排擠,而是彼此同理、互相尊重。我們也要為執政者禱告,使他們不要為了自己的利益與目標,來助長人民的對立與衝突,乃是要維持世代之間的和平。
Pray for peace between generations. The divisions and conflicts between generations are growing. Let us pray together that people will not argue and exclude each other because of differences in ideas or ways of thinking, but empathize and respect each other. We also pray for the rulers, so that they will not fuel the antagonism and conflict of the people for their own interests and goals, but to maintain peace between generations.
