贪爱

跟随谁？

路加与底马曾经与保罗一同坐监(陪监)。证明底马一向是爱护保罗，与他同工，与他一同受苦的传道人。(门24节)

底马“贪爱”世界的“贪爱”，原文只有一个“爱”字（AGAPAO），亦即“理智的爱”，“不改变的爱”。有些人用不改变的爱爱主，但底马则用不改变的爱爱现今的世界，似乎底马不能再回头了，可惜。

我们这些目前都是非常爱主的人，都是在事奉主的基督徒，求主保守我们。保守我们对主的爱是理智、是不改变的。愿我们能有像老鹰一般的眼光，从高处看到服侍主之甜美。在奔跑正义的道路上不偏左也不偏右的紧紧跟随耶稣的脚步。以致我们能像保罗一样的说“那美好的仗我已经打过了，当跑的路我已经跑尽了，所信的道我已经守住了。

求主也保守我们的心，叫我们常常处在“灵里贫穷”的状况。一生不改变的“贪爱”主给我们属灵的产业，一生理智的贪爱、渴慕主的同在。弟兄姐妹，让我们彼此劝勉、彼此监督，求主保守，不让一人跌倒，成为底马的接班人。

出于甘心

有一只老时钟，掛在壁架上已经多年了。有一天，这老钟忽然要算一算，在一年当中要「滴搭滴搭」走上多少个「滴搭」？

结果一算，一年里要走31,536,000个「滴搭」，看了这个数字，只觉得头发暈，浑身无力，口里说：「我办不到！」就瘫痪在那里不动了。

后来有个人提醒它，又不是要你一下子就摇上31,536,000个「滴搭」，而是一个一个慢慢敲的，那老钟又走动了，一切都很好，沒有问题。

彼得年老时曾写了一封劝勉鼓励的信，给当时教会的领袖与信徒说：「…...不是出于勉强，乃是出于甘心。也不是因为贪财，乃是出于乐意。」

彼得前书 5：2 其实工作本身虽然不一定是快乐，但唯有视工作为乐事之态度，才会感觉事奉是乐趣无穷亦能幇助到社会群体。

Ah Beng

Ah Beng buys a bottle of oil

Ah Beng goes into grocery shop and buys a can of oil. 

After paying for the oil, Ah Beng asks the shopkeeper , “Where is my free gift ? ” 

The shopkeeper replied, “ This oil does not come with a free gift”. But Ah Beng insists, “ You try to cheat me ah…..”

Shopkeeper replied, “ No sir, there is no free gift for this oil”. 

Ah Beng got annoyed and took up the can of oil and said, “ Aaai yah…..You cannot read English….it says here Cholesterol FREE!" 

Ah Beng in a Biology Experiment with a cockroach

Ah Beng was doing a Biology experiment to see how much suffering a cockroach can endure. 

First he cut out one leg and told the cockroach, “WALK. WALK”. 

The cockroach walked. Then he cut its second leg and said the same thing. The cockroach walked. Then he cut the third leg and repeated the command. The cockroach walked. 

Finally, he cut its fourth leg and ordered it to walk! But cockroach didn't walk. So Ah Beng wrote this conclusion for his Biology experiment, “ When we cut 4 legs off a cockroach, it becomes deaf”.
