大家平安，感謝主，容亭的提案在昨天教會堂董會已初步通過。接下來就需要在教會和聯合會間的技術性問題作個協調，我們繼續為這件事代禱，盼可以在最快時間內有定案。
另外，關於「禱告戰士」的三分鐘的時段，在與幾位同學分享後，大致認為晚上十點鐘的可能性較大，當然，我們還需要聽到更多您的意見，所以，請不吝回應，還有非常重要的是，在內容裡署名喔，別害羞。
Praise the Lord, the church board has preliminarily approved Loretta’s working proposal. However, some follow-up procedures still need to be dealt with before the final decision, please continue to pray for us.
As to the very ‘3-minute’ of ‘Prayer Warrior’, we’ve learnt that 10pm is most preferable after sharing ideas with some guys. But we still need to hear more comments from you regarding these options. So please feel free to drop a line here and don’t forget to leave your name as well. :)

禱告戰士 Prayer Warriors
這段日子大夥兒養精蓄銳的如何ㄚ？我們很希望青年團能在最快時間內再動起來，恢復屬於我們的固定聚會時間。不過，在那之前，我們希望能建立一個相互代禱的機制，稱做「禱告戰士 (Prayer Warrior)」，男生女生都是，在每天固定的時間，不論您身在何處，找個僻靜、不太受打擾的地方，三分鐘，就三分鐘，針對我們在這裡提的代禱事項與神交通。我們非常相信在這個過程中，我們每個人都會親身體驗以及見證到神的大能和聖靈的作工。
那這三分鐘是在一天中的何時呢？ㄣ，一大早嗎？好像有一個姓趙的爬不太起來。ㄜ，那中午好了？ㄟ，好像有幾位同學都會在上課、上班。晚上呢？也有人在上課，還有在很幸福的約會等等，尤其是在北部的那幾個。唉，講到禱告，一天24小時好像突然不夠用哩。各位同學，若不想做一件事，何患沒藉口？若你願意加入Prayer Warrior，就讓我們往前衝、衝、衝，為這三分鐘計畫，並持之以恆之。
三個選擇，早上7點整，中午1點整，及晚上10點整。或者，有人說，就依個人的時間表，擇一來禱告？不知大家意下如何？
代禱事項方面，就是我們大家每個人的責任，可以是您個人的，可以是您家人的，朋友的，或者是您聽到有什麼是需要代求的，都可以在這裡提出來，沒有限定，您需要做的另一個動作就是，常常來這裡看看張貼文章以及回應文章，update最新的代禱事項。
1. 容亭：我們為她在台中教會全職的助理工作代禱，教會能夠在瞭解這樣的需求的情況下，做出一個合乎神旨意的決定。
2. 青年團：為來年的計畫及活動代禱，使領導幹部有屬天的智慧來帶領大家。
3. 每個人的課業、工作、健康情形。
各位，各位，在這裡，我們要非常非常強調的是，我們願所有的代求，都照著神的旨意行，而不是我們的意思。只有神知道如何做才是對我們最好，我們不會因為神不同的應允而灰心，是嗎。

Have you guys had enough rest these days? We are hoping that our AY is soon to come alive, and to settle our regular meeting hour. But just before that, we wish to build up a praying team called ‘Prayer Warriors’, i.e. all you boys and girls to find a quiet place, wherever you are, at a fixed time of every single day, and to spend just 3 minutes praying according to the prayer requests we collect and publish here. In so doing, we truly believe that each and every one of us will experience and witness God’s mighty power and of the Holy Spirit.
So where shall this ‘3-minute’fit in? Hmm, early in the morning? Well, it looks like someone named Vin something isn’t a morning bird. How about at noon? aam, some guys might be in the class. Evening? Well, some people might be in the evening school as well and some might be dating, like those in the northern Taiwan. Alas, 24 hours a day becomes so amazingly short when it comes to praying, huh? People, you will always find excuses if you don’t wanna do something. If you are genuinely willing to join ‘Prayer Warrior’, let us go for it without second thought, make yourself available for just 3 minutes a day, and keep it going.
3 options: 7am, 1pm or 10pm? Some might suggest that they would just pick one of them according to their schedule. So how does it sound? Let’s hear from you.
It is your responsibility and ours to publish your prayer requests here. Prayer requests can be anything from your personal life, your family, circle, or whatever you hear or you see on the street that needs to pray for. Next step is then to browse this blog, updating the requests.
Prayer Requests:
1. Loretta: for her full-time assistant ministry in Taichung Church, we pray that the church will make a decision in accordance to God’s will.
2. Adventist Youth Society: plans and events in the coming year, that God grant wisdom to the leaders.
3. Our studies, work, and health.
Guys, we’d like to lay stress on the importance of praying, that it is all done in God’s will, NOT ours. Only our Mighty God knows what is best for us, and we are not to be discouraged for getting different answers from Him.
God Bless

經文: 加拉太書六章
鑰節: 「我們行善，不可喪志，若不灰心，到了時候就要收成。」（6：9）
提要
自由和不自由的結果截然不同。如果我們假借自由放縱情慾，結果是顯而易見的「姦淫、污穢、邪蕩、拜偶像、邪術、仇恨、爭競、忌恨、惱怒、結黨、紛爭、異端、嫉妒、醉酒、荒宴等類」（5：19~21）。相反的，如果我們「愛人如己」，我們就會看到「仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信實、溫柔、節制」（5：22~23）。
律法會責備我們「放縱情慾」，但「愛人如己」的事沒有律法禁止。自由的意思就是不受律法約束。只有在我們追求上帝、鄰舍、和我們自己的最高利益──那就是愛──時，不受任何律法的禁止。?
愛是件難事。愛與我們的感受無關，純然是一種選擇。愛根本就是一個決定。?
那就是為什麼耶穌要我們「愛我們的仇敵」。這不是一個不可能的要求。如果耶穌是要我們去「喜歡」我們的敵人，那是不可能的。喜歡靠的是感覺，但愛是出於選擇。?
每一天選擇去做對和好的事是相當累人的。或者我們可能會因看不到結果而「喪志」。?
保羅說：「要忍耐，不要灰心」。有一天我們必要收成。如果不是在今世收成，就是在天國收成。上帝不會虧負任何人。
禱告
上帝啊，幫助我們能真實的去愛。幫助我們堅毅不灰心，永遠尋求他人和我們自己生命的最高利益。我們讚美您，耶穌，您不只教我們如何過愛人如己的生活，您還活在我們?面，賜給我們力量照您的吩咐去行。奉主耶穌聖名，阿們！

Scriptures: Read Galatians 6
Key Verse: "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart".（Galatians 6:9）
Overview
Freedom and unfreedom ultimately betray themselves by their fruit. If, in the name of freedom, we "indulge the sinful nature" (5:13), the product will eventually manifest itself: "sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissentions, factions, and envy; drunkenness, orgies,;and the like" (5:19-21). On the other hand, if we "love our neighbours as ourselves" (5:14), we'll see, "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control" (5:22,23).
The "law" will condemn us for "indulging the sinful nature", but there is no law that can condemn us as we "love our neighbour". Freedom means no laws. The only context where no laws apply is that in which we seek the highest good for God, neighbour, and self — this is love.
Loving is hard work. It has very little to do with how we feel. It has everything to do with what we choose. Love, on the bottom line, is a decision.
That's why Jesus said we're to "love our enemies". This is not an impossible demand. It would be impossible if He said we're to "like" our enemies. "Like" is a feeling; love is a choice.
So choosing to do what's right and good, day in and day out, can be exhausting. Or we see so few results from our good choices that we "lose heart".
Paul says, "Be patient. Don't lose heart." There's coming a day when "we shall reap". If not here, in space and time, we'll reap there — in the kingdom of Heaven. God is no man's debtor.
Keep at it!
Prayer
Lord God, grant that we shall truly "Love". Please help us not to lose heart in persisting in the decision to always seek the highest good of the other person, as well as the highest good for our own lives. We praise You Jesus, who not only showed us how to do this, but lives in us, giving us the power to do as He would do.
