完美的教會—-哥林多前書12:26[若一個肢體受苦, 所有肢體就一同受苦.  若有一個肢體得榮耀, 所有肢體就一同快樂.][釋義]世界上假如有一間完美的教會, 也會因為你的加入而變得不完全.  我們實在不能期望可以找到一間十全十美的教會, 也無法找到一個完美無瑕的傳道人.  只要是有人的地方, 總可以找到一籮筐的缺點和問題, 但是讓我們各人在其中, 盡上一己之力. 發揮肢體的功能, 彼此配搭, 使別人從我們的身體上得著益處.  我們都處在一個相互依存的世界, 是因著父神的愛, 使我們彼此聯繫.  健全的教會在這充滿傷痕的世界是最好的見證.[禱告]親愛的天父上帝, 主耶穌基督, 祢是教會的頭.  教會是身體, 我們是肢體, 肢體各有不同的功能, 不分高低.  求主幫助我們, 與教會弟兄姊妹要彼此相愛, 如不同的肢體, 要彼此的配搭, 互相照顧,  有福同享, 有難同當. 同心合力事奉, 宣揚主道, 榮耀主名.  禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿們!

The Perfect Church — 1 Corinthians 12:26 [If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.] [Explanation] If there were a perfect church in the world, it would become imperfect the moment you joined it. We must acknowledge that it is unrealistic to expect to find a flawless church or a faultless pastor. Wherever there are people, there will inevitably be shortcomings and challenges. Instead of seeking perfection, let us each do our part, functioning as members of the body, contributing to the benefit of others. We live in an interdependent world, connected by the love of the Father. A healthy and unified church is the best testimony in this broken and wounded world. [Prayer] Dear Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus Christ, You are the head of the church, and the church is Your body. We are its members, each with different roles and functions, none superior to the other. Help us, Lord, to love one another as brothers and sisters in Christ, working together in harmony, supporting and caring for one another. May we share in both joy and suffering, serving together with one heart and one mind to proclaim Your Word and glorify Your name. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen!
