My Jesus I Love Thee
My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign.
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.
I love Thee because Thou has first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree.
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, -- I love |

“Know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,
which ye have from God? and ye are not your own; for ye were bought with a
price: glorify God therefore in your body” (1 Cor. 6:19, 20).
This verse now takes us a stage further, for, when once we have made the
discovery of the fact that we are the dwelling place of God, then a full
surrender of ourselves to God must follow. When we see that we are the
temple of God we shall imm... 阅读全帖 |

Of the Sacraments
I. Sacraments are holy signs and seals of the covenant of grace,[511] immedi
ately instituted by God,[512] to represent Christ, and his benefits; and to
confirm our interest in him:[513] as also, to put a visible difference betwe
en those that belong unto the church, and the rest of the world;[514] and so
lemnly to engage them to the service of God in Christ, according to his Word
.[515]
II. There is, in every sacrament, a spiritual relation, or sacramental union

发帖数: 1776 | 46 来自主题: TrustInJesus版 - 问个问题 所以你认为撒但是有来源的是吧？
这点我认同。
那么撒但的来源是什么呢？我们回到圣经就知道了。
在和合本圣经中，撒但总共出现48次
代上 21:1 撒但起来攻击以色列人，激动大卫数点他们。 伯 1:6 有一天， 神的众子
来侍立在耶和华面前，撒但也来在其中。 伯 1:7 耶和华问撒但说：“你从哪里来？”
撒但回答说：“我从地上走来走去，往返而来。” 伯 1:8 耶和华问撒但说：“你曾用
心察看我的仆人约伯没有？地上再没有人象他完全正直，敬畏 神，远离恶事。” 伯
1:9 撒但回答耶和华说：“约伯敬畏 神，岂是无故呢？ 伯 1:12 耶和华对撒但说：“
凡他所有的，都在你手中；只是不可伸手加害于他。”于是撒但从耶和华面前退去。 伯
2:1 又有一天， 神的众子来侍立在耶和华面前，撒但也来在其中。 伯 2:2 耶和华问
撒但说：“你从哪里来？”撒但回答说：“我从地上走来走去，往返而来。” 伯 2:3
耶和华问撒但说：“你曾用心察看我的仆人约伯没有？地上再没有人象他完全正直，敬
畏 神，远离恶事。你虽激动我攻击他，无故地毁灭他；他仍然持守他的纯正。” 伯
2:4 撒但回答耶和华说：“人以皮代皮... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 1397 | 47 Category 8: Jesus’ call for self-mutilation.
Matt. 19: 12 is the usual quotation for this bizarre approval supposedly
given by Jesus for men to castrate themselves ―for heaven‘s sake, if they
‘ve got the guts. The quote is, …and there be eunuchs, which have made
themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven‘s sake. He that is able to
receive it, let him receive it." Church father Origen, as well as some of
the more recent believers involved in the Heaven‘s Gate cult apparently
took this verse lit... 阅读全帖 |

天主、我的天主，这时我经受了多少忧患、多少欺骗！当时对童年的我提示出正当生活
是在乎听从教诲，为了日后能出人头地，为了擅长于为人间荣华富贵服务的词令。因此
，我被送进学校去读书，那时我还不识读书的用处，但如果读得懈怠，便受责打。大人
们都赞成这种办法，并且以前已有许多人过着这样的生活，为我们准备了艰涩的道路，
强迫我们去走，增加了亚当子孙的辛劳与痛苦。
但是，主，我们也碰到了向你祷告的人，从他们那里，我们也尽可能地学习到、从而意
识到你是一个伟大人物，你虽则未尝呈现在我们面前，却能倾听我们、帮助我们。因为
我在童年时已开始祈求你，作为我的救援和避难所，我是滔滔不绝地向你呼吁，我年龄
虽小却怀着很大的热情，求你保佑我在学校中不受夏楚。每逢你为了我的好没有听从我
时，大人们、甚至决不愿我吃苦的父母们都笑受扑责：这在当时是我重大的患难。
主啊，是否有人怀着如此伟大的精神，以无比的热情依恋着你，我说，是否有人——因
为有时由于愚昧无知也能到此地步——虔诚依恋着你，抱着宏伟的毅力，身受世界上谁
都惊怖战栗、趋避惟恐不及的木马刑、铁爪刑等楚毒的刑罚，而竟处之泰然，甚至还热
爱着战慑失色的人们，... 阅读全帖 |

我自小就憎恨读希腊文，究竟什么原因，即在今天我还是不能明白。我酷爱拉丁文，当
然不是启蒙老师教的，而是所谓文法先生教的拉丁文，因为学习阅读、书写、计算时所
读的初步拉丁文，和一切希腊文一样，在我是同样感到艰涩而厌倦。什么缘故？当然是
随着罪恶和渺茫的生命而来的：“我是血气，不过是一阵去而不返的风。”[24]我过去
和现在所以能阅读各种书籍和写出我所要写的文字都靠我早年所读的书；这些最早获得
的学识，比了逼我背诵的不知哪一个埃涅阿斯的流浪故事[25]，当然更好、更可靠。当
时我为狄多的死，为她的失恋自尽[26]而流泪；而同时，这可怜的我，对那些故事使我
离弃你天主而死亡，却不曾流一滴泪。
还有比我这个不知可怜自己的可怜人，只知哭狄多的殉情而不知哭自己因不爱你天主、
我心灵的光明、灵魂的粮食、孕育我精神思想的力量而死亡的人更可怜吗？我不爱你，
我背弃你而趋向邪途，我在荒邪中到处听到“好啊！好啊！”的声音。人世间的友谊是
背弃你而趋于淫乱，“好啊！好啊！”的喝采声，是为了使我以不随波逐浪为可耻。对
这些我不痛哭，却去痛哭：
“狄多的香消玉陨，以剑自刎”。[27]
我背弃了你，却去追逐着... 阅读全帖 |

当时教我奉为模范的是那些谈到自己的常事时因措词不善或文法错误而受到讥评，便深
感惭愧，演述自己的轻薄行径时却有伦有脊、情文相生、淋漓尽致，受到人家称赞而引
以自豪的人。我堕入虚浮之中离开了你，又何足为奇？
主，你是种种觑得明白，但默而不言，你真是“能忍的，慈祥而真实的”。[33]但你是
否始终沉默呢？现在我的灵魂追求你、渴望你的甘饴，我的心灵向你说：“我已追寻你
的容光，主，我还将追寻你的容光”，[34]因为处于情欲的暗影之中，就远离你的容光
；你便把我从不测深渊中挽救出来。离开你或重新趋向你身畔，不是在双足的步履上，
也不是在空间的距离上。你的次子，是否跨马或乘车搭船，或生了双翅而飞行，或徒步
而去，别居于辽远的地区，挥霍你在临行时所给他的财物？[35]你是一位温良的父亲，
你给他财物；等他贫无立锥而回家时，你更是温良。因此，都是由于纵情恣欲才陷入黑
暗，才远离你的容光。
主、天主，请你看、请你和经常一样耐心地看：人的子孙多么留心遵守前人说话时通行
的有关文字字母的规律，却忽视你所传授的有关永生的永恒规律；以致一个通晓或教授
读音规则的人，如果违反文法，把带有气音的homo[3... 阅读全帖 |
