This Week's Prayer Guide
February 9?- This week, pray for the needs of churches in Kunming. Pray for churches in Kunming to be transformed by the gospel of Christ. February 10?- Kunming used to have many large churches, but, as one pastor shares, " for various reasons, such as some pastors committing sins, these churches have divided or disintegrated. Some pastors have also left Kunming and gone abroad. So, we ask the Lord to raise up more preachers who are faithful to His Word." February 11?- "Because of the situation in Kunming," says one pastor, "many churches don't dare to have more than 30 people. Even if they split into different groups, they don't dare exceed 30 because it would be illegal according to religious regulations. When singing, they don't dare to sing loudly. During worship, everyone is very subdued. This is a kind of spiritual fear." Pray for believers in the midst of this spiritual fear, for Christ to comfort them and give them guidance. February 12?- One pastor observes that many of the more traditional house churches in Kunming have started studying Reformed theology. The main result of this, however, has been that "they become more self-righteous or prideful. It's as if theology has surpassed the Bible. Of course, this theology is good, but at the same time, we need to see that it takes time to digest these theological ideas." Pray that theological study would not make these pastors more prideful, but rather more humble, fervent, and Christlike. February 13?- In contrast to the previous request, another Kunming pastor notes that his church "has been persistently striving to live out God's Word, not just talking about theology." He adds, "Preaching is not just about talking about the Bible; it's about preaching the way of life." Praise God for this holistic approach, and pray for churches in Kunming to have both gospel-centered theology and gospel-centered lives. February 14?- "Our common challenge lies in how the congregation can balance obedience to God's Word," shares a Kunming pastor. "Some brothers and sisters are very firm, and sometimes they become unbalanced. Others are a little antinomian, and they also become unbalanced. Although I think their lives still have life and foundation in Christ, I think it would be better if they could improve their balance." Pray for good balance for Kunming Christians, that they would not fall into the legalism on the one side or hedonism on the other. February 15?- A pastor in Kunming asks us to pray for evangelism in the city. "Each church needs to fulfill this function, which is a very important ministry of our church. I think we must pray for this, that the gospel can be spread more widely in Kunming." 2月9日——本周,请为昆明教会的需要祷告。为教会能在基督的福音里得到改变而祷告。 2月10日——昆明过去有许多大型教堂,但正如一位牧师所说,"由于各种原因,例如一些牧师犯罪,这些教堂已经分裂或瓦解。一些牧师也离开昆明去了国外。因此,我们祈求主兴起更多忠于祂话语的传道人。" 2月11日——一位牧师说:"由于昆明的局势,许多教堂不敢容纳超过30人。即使他们分成不同的小组,也不敢超过30人,因为根据宗教规定,这是非法的。他们不敢大声唱歌。在礼拜时,每个人都非常安静。这是一种属灵上的恐惧。" 为处于这种属灵恐惧中的信徒祈祷,求基督安慰他们并给予指引。 2月12日——一位牧师注意到,昆明许多较为传统的家庭教会开始研究改革宗神学。然而,这带来的主要结果是"他们变得更加自以为是或骄傲。好像神学已经超越了圣经。当然,这种神学是好的,但与此同时,我们需要看到,消化这些神学观点需要时间。" 祈祷神学研究不会让这些牧师变得更加骄傲,而是更加谦卑、热忱和像基督一样。 2月13日——与之前的请求相反,另一位昆明牧师指出,他的教会 "一直在努力实践上帝的话语,而不仅仅是谈论神学。"他补充道:"传道不仅仅是谈论圣经,而是要传讲生活方式。" 为这种全面性的成长赞美上帝,并为昆明教会祈祷,让他们拥有以福音为中心的神学和以福音为中心的生活。 2月14日——昆明的一位牧师分享道:"我们共同面临的挑战在于,会众如何平衡对上帝圣言的顺服。有些弟兄姐妹非常坚定,有时会变得失衡。还有些人有点反律法主义,也会变得失衡。虽然我认为他们的生命在基督里仍然有生命和根基,但我认为他们如果能改善平衡会更好。" 为昆明基督徒的平衡祈祷,希望他们不会陷入律法主义或享乐主义。 2月15日——昆明的一位牧师请求我们为城市中的传福音祈祷。"每个教会都需要履行这一职能,这是教会非常重要的事工。我认为这是我们应该祈祷的事,希望福音能在昆明得到更广泛的传播。" |
