妥协

每个人都有属于自己的想法,
自己的坚持,还有自己的固执。

当面临意见不和的事情时,
我们情愿争吵得面红耳赤,
也不愿意退一步,更不愿意妥协。

我们情愿对事情喋喋不休,
也不愿意让事情拥有圆满的结局。
我们总认为妥协与让步,
就是认输,输了自己的原则是小事,输了面子才“大件事”。

我们不妥协往往只为了自己的原则,
但这些无谓的坚持与固执,只不过是借口,
面子才是不妥协的原因。

当事情得不到解决时,尝试去妥协吧!
当事情解决后,也许你会发现妥协不代表退步,
更不代表认输,而是在不知不觉中已经成长了。

学会妥协、学会退一步,原来是让我们进步了。

有时候,
我们得坚持自己的原则。
但当事情未能得到解决时,
为什么不学会妥协、不学会放下无谓的执著呢?
也许你会发现,过程中,自己又长大了。

CAN YOU IDENTIFY WITH THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?

The New Testament church began on the Day of Pentecost. Does the church congregation where you worship resemble the Lord's church. (Acts 2:47...And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved) (NKJV).

Acts 2:22-41......41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. (NKJV)
Acts 2:22-41......41 And those who believed Peter were baptized--- about 3,000 in all! (The Living Bible ---Paraphrased)

The 3000 all believed Peter when he preached Jesus as a miracle worker, and as Lord and Christ. They believed Peter when he said that God raised Jesus from the grave. They believed Peter when he told them to repent (repent means to make the intellectual commitment to turn from sin and to turn toward God) and be baptized so their sins could be forgiven. They believed Peter when he told them they would received the gift of the Holy Spirit. (That would be the indwelling of the Holy Spirit Himself.)

Is that what occurs at the church where you attend?

Acts 2:42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. (NKJV)
Acts 2:42 They joined with the other believers in regular attendance at the apostles' teaching sessions and at the Communion service and prayer meetings. (The Living Bible---Paraphrased)

Is that what occurs at the church where you attend?

1. Is the apostles doctrine taught or is made-made church tradition taught at your church?
2. Is the apostles doctrine taught or is a semi-religious entertainment session presented, with skits, jokes, and or a secular a perspective of God's teaching? Is the gospel presented as an alternative, or the only way of salvation? Is sin preached as sin and then apologized for, or is sin simply not mentioned?
3. Is communion offered every Lord's Day, or is it offered weekly, monthly, yearly?(Acts 20:7...on the first day of the week...)
4. Is regular attendance encouraged, or is Easter, Christmas, and a few Sundays a year deemed to be sufficient? (Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.) (NKJV)
5. Is prayer an import part of the church you attend?

DOES YOUR CHURCH LOOK LIKE THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?
