安慰

今天崇拜之后,一位教会长辈把我“逮着”,要与我谈谈。原来,她听说有人评论我讲道的时间,怕我介意、受伤害,因此来鼓励及劝勉我。她说她喜欢听我讲道,也常常为我祷告,我心里很是感动。其实,当一些弟兄姐妹善意的给予我提醒时,我不会介意的。说我讲道太长的,大约也有7-8位了,面对他们,我只有感动抱歉,因为到今天仍旧没有悔改!45分钟的讲道对我而言是最低要求,若我把课堂上那种20-25分钟的讲道带到教会去,或许会把他们“吓死”!

当然,我也向老姐妹解释,一个崇拜是环环相扣的,我也不能占据了别人的时间(换句话说,他们也不能占据我的时间),大家总要在本分上尽忠,叫上帝得着荣耀。无论如何,她的鼓励,确实让我得到安慰!

I think I need to learn from you...haha...because I can never preach 45min sermon - even 35min for me is really stretching it. I usually do 30min, sometimes 25min....and my church members do not seem to complain...hahah!!
