耶和华是伟大的 读经计划 使徒行传9:32-43;  诗篇 96 (林树发弟兄，华语事工委员) 研读： 使徒行传9:32-43;  诗篇 96 观察： 诗篇96:4-6 4 因为耶和华是伟大的，该受极大的赞美，他当受敬畏，过于众神之上。 5 因为万民的神都是虚空的偶像，但耶和华创造了诸天。 6 尊荣和威严在他面前，能力和华美在他圣所之中。 应用： 上帝最伟大的作为 —– 宇宙的创造。这作为叫祂的子民有足够的理由去赞美祂。 环顾古今天下，谁敢出此绝断之语，举世无双，唯我“圣经”也。这篇诗篇虽是几千年前出自大卫王之笔，但诗中所述却是永远不变之道。基督徒应铭记心中，且有责任传扬普天之下，有关上帝创造之事实。第5节说：万民的神都是虚空的偶像。诗人凸出了上帝超越其他的虚假之神。这些假神都是无生命的偶像，只是木头和金属所造，而上帝是活的，活跃于世界。其他的只是魔鬼或出自人的自我想象或其他意图。这样的例子不胜其数。 古有出埃及记32章，以色列人的金牛犊，摩西的兄弟亚伦也沾了一手。今日之现代社会，我们仍然在世界各地看到类似的敬拜结构。取材之广之深令人结舌。正如以赛亚书44:9所言，“制造雕刻偶像的尽都虚空；他们所喜悦的都无益处；。。。。”(和合本) 行动： 今年是我们教会“刻意门训”运动的开始，身为教会的一份子，我们应熟记圣经中的重要章节（特别是福音书中有关耶稣基督的经文），善用日常生活中适当的机遇，因时制地的向亲朋戚友、同事、学习伙伴，施予身教，使大家了解三一真神（圣父、圣子、圣灵）： 上帝的存在与慈爱； 主耶稣的为了拯救人类脱离罪恶而受死于十架； 圣灵的沟通； 祷告: 主啊，愿人们都能感受到基督徒的“真”与“爱”，有机会接触圣经的好消息，以至愿意将他们未来的一生转向一个有主的新生命，新生活。求祢让我们作为祢的好管道，诚恳邀请这些朋友经常到圣所来体验祢的华美与威严。 我的心常思念：耶和华，祢是伟大的，该受极大的赞美。阿门。
