I'm a 40 days pd participant from Junior Youth Section. Two weeks ago, during the Sunday service, Rev Luk ask us to invite more friends to participate. And I did so, I ask my neighbour to participate.

However, the response that I got from my neighbour is really a negative one. My neighbour, a 38 year-old woman, who suppose to join the women section, has a very great rejection towards churches activities.

She ask me what is all this 40 days of pd is about. I told her its about reading and sharing.

She said, she doesn't want to do any sharing, especially in church activities. She said, couples of months ago, she read in the newspaper, there's a woman from women section also, mentioned something disgraceful to their women section leader, and the leader and her husband ask her to publish appologise in the newspaper for three days.

My neighbour said, if that is true, then, church is a very dangerous place to share. She said she is just an ordinary housewife and she doesn't have extra money to publish appologise in the newspaper.

I was stunt by such a response. I am not aware of this news, and I doubt the reliability of it.

My neighbour said, one of this days, she will show me the newspaper cut out.

This really stunt me and disappointed me. I'm very aware that my action shall be withnesses for Jesus. But somehow, somebody, actually did something really horrible for their own glory.

If we don't mind our own attitude, our attitude will be stumbling blocks for others. And, if that happen, no matter how great the event that we are about to organise, it will fail!!! And there won't be outsider participating, because they all scared to share something wrong, and hence, being forced to publish appologises in the newspaper.

I'm really sad about this incident, and I ask for God's forgiveness.

No matter how great we renovate our church, no matter how great we do the video, poster and activities, if we don't mind our own attitude, we are not helping in spreading the gospel, instead, we become the tools of the devil, and play a stumbling block's role.

你说得很对。我们都因我们的软弱,我们很容易成为绊脚石。也因为如此,我们更要谨慎小心,不断认罪悔改,以更好的见证来荣耀我们的上帝。但是,我也不否认有时候,我们的努力会因一些人的问题而让我们所做的似乎是徒劳无功。也就是在这时候,我们要坚忍。就是坚持祷告,希望基督徒的生命都不断更新,还没真正信主的可以真正信靠;也坚持我们的见证和服事。这不容易,但耶稣基督已经给了我们榜样。

基督徒的态度、行为的确比我们所讲、所挂的布条,宣传单还要有影响力。因此,教会里已经真正信靠耶稣基督的,要常常反省自己的态度、行为;而那些还未真正信靠的,要谦卑、认罪,真正信靠,以致有新生的样式。

绝对同意前面两个回应!看到别人不好的见证并不代表没有希望了,反之,可以让我们更加审查自己,警惕自己的举止行为是否有好的见证,时时告诉自己要为了上帝的荣耀而活出真正基督徒的样式。耶稣基督是我们的榜样,我们只看祂,不看人,这也是标竿40天要带出的其中一个活着的目的,那就是:为了更像基督。
