(472) 「灵粮主题 TODAY’s Topic」：与人交往要口出美善言语 Speak Kind Words to Others

「灵粮经节 TODAY’s Verses」：「使徒保罗在以弗所教会教导我们做基督徒的，对人都要以爱相待，礼义相助；遇见试探，若是生气却不要犯罪；不可含怒到日落，也不可给魔鬼留地步。因此保罗说： “污秽的言语一句不可出口，只要随事说造就人的好话，叫听见的人得益处. “；The apostle Paul taught us in the Church of Ephesus that as Christians, we must treat each other with love and help each other with righteousness; when faced with temptation, if you are angry, do not sin; do not let the sun set on your anger, and do not give room to the devil. Therefore, he says: “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” 」 (以弗所书 Ephesians 4: 29 节）

「灵粮分享 TODAY’s Sharing」： 今晨在「圣经日日行 We Devote」里，读到甘力克牧师 Rev. Nicky Gumbel 写了一篇， “说有爱的话” 的分享。甘力克牧师引用箴言 Proverbs 10:11-20 节, 尤其是 11-12 节，在这经节里，诗人所罗门王描述与人相处对话，要有仁爱相待。这也就是「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」 主题要分享的，叫我们要避免口出伤人， “与人交往要口出美善言语” 。甘力克牧师至少用三方面的重点给我们解释写道：（1） 你的话大有能力，可以带给人祝福：经文里的 11 节第一段，就说， “义人的口是生命的泉源” ，也正像《信息版圣经》所翻译的 ， “义人的嘴好像一口滋润生命的深井” 。 可是，话语同样可以带来伤害：因此，11 节第二段，《信息版圣经》 – 译者就翻译着说，“恶人的口就好比一个腐败的黑洞”；（2） 话语能摧毁关系：12 节第一段说， “恨，能挑启争端” ；12节第二段却说，也能建造关系：因为，“爱，能遮掩一切过错” ；（3） 所以，控制住舌头至关重要：19 节提醒我们，“多言多语难免有过；禁止嘴唇是有智慧”。美国前总统亚伯拉罕. 林肯曾说，“最好保持沉默，被别人当成傻子，强过说出话来证明自己就是傻子！” 最后，在读这段经文里甘力克牧师更加劝勉我们说：如果有人得罪了你，不要以恶报恶。所以有句话说得好：怀恨在心就是让仇人免费住在你脑袋里。虽然不容易，但你要以德报怨。即便在仇人背后，也要口出美善言语。因为只有爱才会让争吵平息，并且修复破损的关系。大家星期五开心与周末愉快！

「灵粮祷告 TODAY’s Prayer」：「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」 也就引用雅各书 James 3: 9-10 节和大家在主的爱里相互勉励祷告。甘力克牧师在分享里鼓励我们日常生活， “与人交往要口出美善言语” ：雅各书在这经节里也都是这样劝勉我们，要避免口出伤人： “我们用舌头颂赞那为主、为父的，又用舌头咒诅那照着神形像被造的人。颂赞和咒诅从一个口里出来！我的弟兄们，这是不应当！ “ 求神怜悯帮助我们，能说造就人的好话，叫听见的人得益处。祷告奉主名求的，阿们。

This morning, in "圣经日日行 We Devote", I read an article written by Rev. Nicky Gumbel, "Speaking Words of Love". Pastor Gumball quoted Proverbs 10:11-20, especially verses 11-12, in which the palmist King Solomon described dealing with people with love and kindness. This is what the topic of "今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY" is about to share. It tells us to avoid hurting others and "speak kind words to others". Pastor Gumbel explained to us with at least three points of emphasis: (1) Your words are powerful and can bring blessings: the first paragraph of verse 11 in the scriptures says, "The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life", just like the translation of the "Message Version Bible", "The mouth of the righteous is like a deep well that nourishes life". However, words can also cause harm: Therefore, the second paragraph of verse 11, "The Message Version Bible" - the translator translates, "The mouth of the wicked is like a black hole of corruption"; (2) Words can destroy relationships: The first paragraph of verse 12 says, "Hatred stirs up disputes"; but the second paragraph of verse 12 says that it can also build relationships: because, " love covers over all wrongs "; (3) Therefore, it is very important to control the tongue : Verse 19 reminds us, " Sin is not ended by multiplying words, but the prudent hold their tongues ". American former president Abraham Lincoln once said, "It is better to keep silent and be regarded as a fool by others than to speak out to prove that you are a fool!" Do not repay evil with evil. There is a saying that goes well: To hold a grudge is to let the enemy live in your head for free. Although it is not easy, you must repay evil with kindness. Speak kind words even behind the back of your enemies. Because only love will calm quarrels and mend broken relationships. Happy Friday and great weekend everyone!

In conclusion, “今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY” would like to quote James 3: 9-10 and encourages and prays for each other in the love of the Lord. Pastor Gumbel encouraged us in his sharing to live with people and "speak kind words to others. James also exhorts us in the quoted verses to avoid hurting others: "With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. " Pray that God is merciful and helps us, and enables us to speak good words that build up others, and benefit those who hear them. Pray in the name of the Lord, Amen!
