聽道。筆記

And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
Matthew 5:41 NKJV

→通常第一哩路是我們必須做的，但第二里路是我們願意去做的。

And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?  But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’?  Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.  So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’ ”
Luke 17:7-10 NKJV

He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.
Luke 16:10 NKJV

→在最小的事上忠心是我們該走的第一哩路，第一哩路有走完後，神的話語會塑造我們，使我們在心裡更新我們的生命，才可以在之後更大的服侍忠心。

Then Joab came into the house to the king, and said, “Today you have disgraced all your servants who today have saved your life, the lives of your sons and daughters, the lives of your wives and the lives of your concubines, in that you love your enemies and hate your friends. For you have declared today that you regard neither princes nor servants; for today I perceive that if Absalom had lived and all of us had died today, then it would have pleased you well. Now therefore, arise, go out and speak comfort to your servants. For I swear by the Lord , if you do not go out, not one will stay with you this night. And that will be worse for you than all the evil that has befallen you from your youth until now.”
II Samuel 19:5-7 NKJV

→要提醒自己除了自己被安排到的服侍(第一哩路)之外，要記得預備心侍奉(第二里路)，如此才能榮耀神。

有敬虔的外貌，卻背了敬虔的實意；這等人你要躲開。
提摩太後書 3:5 CUNP-神

「你們聽見有話說：『當愛你的鄰舍，恨你的仇敵。』 只是我告訴你們，要愛你們的仇敵，為那逼迫你們的禱告。 這樣 就可以作你們天父的兒子；因為他叫日頭照好人，也照歹人；降雨給義人，也給不義的人。
馬太福音 5:43-45 CUNP-神
