弟兄姊妹們平安:

聯繫到最近幾年,國內陸陸續續有不少城市遇到各樣的災難,隨之而來的就是捐款的號召.這也是一種幫助別人的途徑,可是且也有人利用這樣的機會來抬高自己的聲望,或者爲自己的公司做廣告.我們不能說他們不該出來幫助別人, 但是,我們應該用一顆更純潔的心來幫助他人,而不是圖自己的利益.

這周的活動中,我們會圍繞馬太福音第6章中的一段經文來討論 “施捨”這個話題.在現實中,施捨更多被一些企業家當作名利雙收的宣傳手段, 可是這一段經文告訴我們的,是怎樣做去討神的喜悅.不在乎你施捨的是什麼,不在乎你施捨了多少,最重要的是我們的心.神告訴我們,不能把幫助別人當作表現自己的方法,而是要“爲善不欲人知”,默默地去做.這次我們將繼續分成小組進行學習與討論,繼續歡迎有興趣的同學繼續加入我們的討論哦~~ MCCF會一直期待每週五與大家的約會,還是不見不散哦~~

Dear brothers and sisters:

Another Friday is coming up and a long weekend follows! For this Friday, we will continue to have group Bible study (Matthew 6:1-4) on the topic “give to the needy”. As we know, there have been quite a few natural catastrophes striking the world over the past few years. With the multiple earthquakes happened in China and Japan, the recent rain flood that happened in Beijing, a lot of people were devastated and needed help. Following these disasters, large fundraising events were organized and while most people donated with the will to help the needy, some used these events as a strategy to boost their fame and reputation. This Friday, we will be discussing from the Bible’s point of view on why should we help the needy and how should we help them.

We sincerely welcome our friends, both old and new, to come and join us again for a meaningful evening! Hope to see you then!
