彌迦書6章8節:世人哪,耶和華已指示你何為善。祂向你所要的是甚麼呢?只要你行公義,好憐憫,存謙卑的心,與你的上帝同行。
Come! Live in the light! Shine with the joy and the love of the Lord!
We are called to be light for the kingdom, to live in the freedom of the city of God.
Refrain: We are called to act with justice; we are called to love tenderly;
We are called to serve one another, to walk humbly with God.
Come! Open your heart! Show your mercy to all those in fear!
We are called to be hope for the hopeless so hatred and violence will be no more.
(Refrain)
Sing! Sing a new song! Sing of that great day when all well be one!
God will reign and we'll walk with each other as sisters and brothers united in love.
(Refrain)
這星期天我們教會中唱這一首作為對講道的呼應--《長老會聖詩》第749首,很欣賞--從網上找到,放在這裡。
基督徒蒙召使命是甚麼?是見證上帝的光明和自由,在基督裡參與傳遞祂的仁愛。是敞開心懷,助人為樂,除去個人的擔心和懼怕,帶來消除暴力和仇恨的盼望,這盼望召上帝的兒女在主裡合而為一。
有些基督徒偏偏以為他們的使命是限制(與己不同的)別人自由生活的權利,沒妨礙別人也不行,不準這、不準那。比如,他們以為LGBTQ人群無論遇到什麼生活艱苦不便都應該藏匿假裝和別人一樣。而自己無心伸出援手解決人家的實際問題,又不想向專業人員請教,甚至認為這些人的存在逼著別人承認他們生活合法,比到處發生槍擊事件還要命。
