We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Contemporary Christian literature is awash with the notion that, in order to be effective and successful, we must respond to market forces. In earlier generation, such an approach was unheard of. The tactic employed by Paul in Corinth was far closer to the model of the day. “Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” That was his message. Even though the Corinthians we demanding miracles and wisdom, Paul did not give them what they wanted. Indeed, he continued to supply the one thing they clearly did not want – preaching. He rejected the style and content that was most acceptable in his day… It is not possible to give people what they want to hear and proclaim the message of the Cross at one and the same time.

Physical and Psychological Effects of Abortion: 1. More than 100 physical complications have been associated with abortion. Immediate physical effects include: infection, hemorrhage, cervical damage, damage to other internal organs, perforation of the uterus, abdominal pain, menstrual irregularity, headaches, dizziness, and blood clots. In some cases, today's so-called 'safe-legal' abortions can result in death. 2. Long-term physical effects include: sterility, stillbirth, miscarriage of further children, and premature births of subsequent children, (which can lead to many complication in newborns.) 3. Secondary health problems associated with abortion are now being studied. Abortion can lead to an increase in substance abuse (alcohol, drugs, tobacco, etc.), which has many well-known negative health consequences. 4. Many women suffer from psychological aftereffects of abortion. These complications are called post-abortion syndrome, or PAS. 5. Some of the behavior which mark PAS are: recurrent memories, dreams and repetitions of the abortion experience; avoidance of emotional attachment; relationship problems; sleep disturbances; guilt about surviving when the unborn child died; memory impairment; hostile outbursts; suicidal thoughts or actions and substance abuse. 6. Some women begin to suffer from PAS right after their abortions; for others. The symptoms may not begin to appear from many months of years after the abortion. Often, a major life event, such as the birth of another child, can trigger PAS in a woman. 7. The negative psychological effects of abortion can also be seen in fathers, grandparents and siblings. Even medical personnel involved in the abortion industry have reported that they suffered from negative effects.

约翰三书

问候
作长老的写信给亲爱的该犹,就是我诚心所爱的。
亲爱的兄弟啊,我愿你凡事兴盛,身体健壮,正如你的灵魂兴盛一样。
有弟兄来证明你心里存的真理,正如你按真理而行,我就甚喜乐。
我听见我的儿女们按真理而行,我的喜乐就没有比这个大的。
合作和反对
亲爱的兄弟啊,凡你向作客旅之弟兄所行的都是忠心的。
他们在教会面前证明了你的爱;你若配得过 神,帮助他们往前行,这就好了。
因他们是为主的名+出外,对于外邦人一无所取。
所以我们应该接待这样的人,叫我们与他们一同为真理做工。
我曾略略地写信给教会,但那在教会中好为首的丢特腓不接待我们。
10 所以我若去,必要提说他所行的事,就是他用恶言妄论我们。还不以此为足,他自己不接待弟兄,有人愿意接待,他也禁止,并且将接待弟兄的人赶出教会。
11 亲爱的兄弟啊,不要效法恶,只要效法善。行善的属乎 神;行恶的未曾见过 神。
12  低米丢行善,有众人给他作见证,又有真理给他作见证,就是我们也给他作见证。你也知道我们的见证是真的。
问安
13 我原有许多事要写给你,却不愿意用笔墨写给你,
14 但盼望快快地见你,我们就当面谈论。
15 愿你平安。众位朋友都问你安。请你替我按着姓名问众位朋友安。
