对今日诗句的想法
主耶稣从未想要我们放弃道德的界限、救赎的影响或是对他人的爱。我们在世上的目的，是要保守世界，防止它继续败坏，并且以恩典与怜悯作为这个苦毒残酷世界的调味剂。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus never wanted us to give up our moral distinctiveness, our redemptive influence, or our loving impact on those around us just so we can be liked. The purpose of our presence in the world is to be the salt that preserves our culture from further moral decay, bitterness, spite, and other degrading social problems. And, we are to be the salt that seasons the bitter, dog-eat-dog world we live in with the salt of God's grace and mercy. We are to be the salt of the earth, disciples that prevent decay and bring the sweet taste of Jesus to a lost world.
我的祷告
圣洁而伟大的主啊，请帮助我抵制效法这个世界。慈爱的天父啊，请使用我，作为不同于世界的基督徒祝福他人，传播天国的影响。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Dear Holy and Majestic Lord, please empower me to resist being molded into the values of the world around me. Instead, dear Father, please use my distinctiveness as a Christian, a follower of Jesus, to bless others and expand the influence and impact of your Kingdom, doing so with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15-16). In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
