太6:1
你们要小心、不可将善事行在人的面前、故意叫他们看见．若是这样、就不能得你们天父的赏赐了。
"Be careful that you don't do your charitable giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
主耶稣！今天的经文如一道光照进我的内心。看到我们有时候动机不纯的景象, 在行善事上有私自的目的, 参加聚会为了证明比其他人更爱神, 传福音为了增加教会的人数。主啊！我行善, 传福音, 只有一个心机, 单单出于爱神, 爱人。
太5:45-48
这样、就可以作你们天父的儿子．因为他叫日头照好人、也照歹人、降雨给义人、也给不义的人。你们若单爱那爱你们的人．有甚么赏赐呢．就是税吏不也是这样行么。你们若单请你弟兄的安、比人有甚么长处呢．就是外邦人不也是这样行么。所以你们要完全、像你们的天父完全一样。
that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't even the tax collectors do the same? If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don't even the tax collectors do the same Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
主耶稣！感谢祢的救赎恩典, 使我恢复神儿子的身份。主啊！我要活出真正的我, 有神的性情, 有天上的智慧。
太5:38-39
你们听见有话说、『以眼还眼、以牙还牙。』只是我告诉你们、不要与恶人作对．有人打你的右脸、连左脸也转过来由他打。
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you, don't resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
主耶稣！我明白, 不要与恶人作对, 但是, 我不明白, 为何被恶人继续欺压, 还要我任由他们。我想起经上记着说, 我若行耶和华神喜悦的事, 耶和华要使仇敌成为我的朋友。主啊！我愿意顺从天父的话。
太5:37
你们的话、是、就说是．不是、就说不是．若再多说、就是出于那恶者。〔或作是从恶里出来的〕
But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
主耶稣！我们在生活中, 常会遇见心中觉得不是的事, 为了应酬, 妥协, 口头上却说是。主啊！感谢圣灵的光照, 让我看到这是从恶里出的。我以后说话要诚实, 要说真心话。
太5:31-34
又有话说、人若休妻、就当给他休书。只是我告诉你们、凡休妻的、若不是为淫乱的缘故、就是叫他作淫妇了。人若娶这被休的妇人、也是犯奸淫了。你们又听见有吩咐古人的话、说、『不可背誓、所起的誓、总要向主谨守。』只是我告诉你们、甚么誓都不可起、不可指着天起誓、因为天是神的座位．
"It was also said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,' but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery. "Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,'
but I tell you, don't swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
主耶稣！我看到人的骄傲, 自己偏离了神的法则, 还要去误导别人。经上明明记着说, 耶和华以色列的神说, 休妻的事、和以强暴待妻的人, 都是他所恨恶的。主啊！我们当谨守我们的心, 不可行诡诈。
太5:27-28
你们听见有话说、『不可奸淫。』只是我告诉你们、凡看见妇女就动淫念的、这人心里已经与他犯奸淫了。
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;' but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
主耶稣！感谢圣灵的光照, 人的私欲, 淫念在神眼中看为罪。我是属基督耶稣的人, 是已经把肉体, 连肉体的邪情私欲, 同钉在十字架上了。主啊！我不再被地上的世界观降低对神国度的标准。
太5:23-24
所以你在祭坛上献礼物的时候、若想起弟兄向你怀怨、就把礼物留在坛前、先去同弟兄和好、然后来献礼物。
"If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
主耶稣！我们有时候会把献祭, 敬拜放在首要做的事, 今早经文, 让我看见神要的是我们彼此相爱的信心。主啊！我祈求圣灵的帮助, 有勇气去修复受损的人际关系。
太5:22
只是我告诉你们、凡向弟兄动怒的、难免受审判。凡骂弟兄是拉加的、难免公会的审断．凡骂弟兄是魔利的、难免地狱的火。
But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment; and whoever shall say to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council; and whoever shall say, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.
主耶稣！今天的经文, 提醒我在动怒时要谨慎所说的话。许多时候, 明明知道咒骂是恶的, 怒气来时, 却忘了祢的教诲。主啊！我告诉自己, 要快快的听, 慢慢的说, 慢慢的动怒, 求圣灵来相助。
太5:19
所以无论何人废掉这诫命中最小的一条、又教训人这样作、他在天国要称为最小的．但无论何人遵行这诫命、又教训人遵行、他在天国要称为大的。我告诉你们、你们的义、若不胜于文士和法利赛人的义、断不能进天国。
Whoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
主耶稣！我察觉, 有好些喜欢说教的人, 背地里行神所禁止的行为, 还诱导人效法他们。主啊！我祈求神拯救信心不足, 信心迟纯的人, 不要被这些教师所误导。
太5:17-18
莫想我来要废掉律法和先知．我来不是要废掉、乃是要成全。我实在告诉你们、就是到天地都废去了、律法的一点一画也不能废去、都要成全。
"Don't think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn't come to destroy, but to fulfill. For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.
主耶稣！我在思想, 人在没有律法下的生活, 会有多混乱。经上说, 律法和先知是不能废掉的。主啊！我不想要在混乱中生活, 我要喜爱律法, 在和谐社会中生活作息。
太5:13-16
你们是世上的盐．盐若失了味、怎能叫他再咸呢．以后无用、不过丢在外面、被人践踏了。你们是世上的光．城造在山上、是不能隐藏的。你们的光也当这样照在人前、叫他们看见你们的好行为、便将荣耀归给你们在天上的父。
"You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men. You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can't be hidden. Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
主耶稣！我思想没有盐和光将会是什么样的日子。主啊！我要活出能荣耀天父, 有影响力的生命, 在人群中带给人喜乐, 和睦。活出精彩人生。
太5:12
应当欢喜快乐．因为你们在天上的赏赐是大的．在你们以前的先知、人也是这样逼迫他们。
Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
主耶稣！我知道神正在看, 我们如何回应所面对的逼迫。从人的角度, 没有人会喜欢被逼迫。主啊！我承认我的智慧能力有限, 不能够测透神所做的。在不明白当下所遇见的事, 我仍要感谢神对我的爱护。想到那一天见主面时是何等的荣耀, 我的心就喜乐了。
太5:10-12
为义受逼迫的人有福了．因为天国是他们的。人若因我辱骂你们、逼迫你们、捏造各样坏话毁谤你们、你们就有福了。应当欢喜快乐．因为你们在天上的赏赐是大的．在你们以前的先知、人也是这样逼迫他们。
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. "Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
主耶稣！我观看这时代, 弱势群体遭受逼迫以外, 那些伸展正义, 反对堕胎法律, 反对多元家庭文化的公义之士, 也同样受到逼迫。主啊！我向神呼求, 吩咐公义裂天而降, 审判临到恶人, 败坏他们计谋和他们一切手中的工。
太5:7-9
怜恤人的人有福了．因为他们必蒙怜恤。清心的人有福了．因为他们必得见神。使人和睦的人有福了．因为他们必称为神的儿子。
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
主耶稣！我想起, 经上说, 神不算为有罪的人是有福的。我明白了, 我们若追究, 追讨人的罪, 好比拒绝神赦罪之恩。同时, 也否定我是神儿女的身份, 主啊！我要以清心追求与人和睦, 活出神儿子的生命。
太5:6
饥渴慕义的人有福了．因为他们必得饱足。
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.
主耶稣！我与祢分享我的感受, 这时代的资本主义, 金钱利益为首, 弱势人群受到不公义的对待。欺负他们的人当中, 有好些说是相信祢的政客, 专业人士, 企业主管。主啊！求祢赐给这些人有悔改的机会。我也要常常省察公义之心在我心里的热度。
太5:4-5
哀恸的人有福了．因为他们必得安慰。温柔的人有福了．因为他们必承受地土。
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
主耶稣！我看见哀恸, 温柔的心是天父所喜悦的。我不再像世人看哀恸的人是懦弱的表现, 也不再以为温柔的人是在躲避冲突。主啊！我是有福之人, 因为, 我得到神的话语, 晓得人有哀恸和温柔的心, 必蒙神的祝福。
太5:1-3
耶稣看见这许多的人、就上了山、既已坐下、门徒到他跟前来。他就开口教训他们说、虚心的人有福了．因为天国是他们的。
Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him. He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
主耶稣！第一个教训, 就是“天国是他们的”。主啊！这是何等的奇妙的启示, 这是我们的开始, 也是我们的结束。我的心在不停的呼喊, 是的, 是的天国是我们的, 我要虚心。
太4:23
耶稣走遍加利利、在各会堂里教训人、传天国的福音、医治百姓各样的病症。他的名声就传遍了叙利亚．那里的人把一切害病的、就是害各样疾病、各样疼痛的、和被鬼附的、癫痫的、瘫痪的、都带了来、耶稣就治好了他们。
Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people. The report about him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them.
主耶稣！我看见, 祢是在传天国的福音, 有真理的教训, 有医治的大能。主啊！神迹奇事跟随门徒, 因为他们所传扬的也是天国的福音。求主怜悯, 恢复教会传道的能力, 专心传天国的福音
太4:18-20
耶稣在加利利海边行走、看见弟兄二人、就是那称呼彼得的西门、和他兄弟安得烈、在海里撒网．他们本是打鱼的。耶稣对他们说、来跟从我、我要叫你们得人如得鱼一样。他们就立刻舍了网、跟从了他。
Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
He said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men." They immediately left their nets and followed him.
主耶稣! 我们同样听见祢向我们说, 来跟从我, 却没有像彼得和安得烈那样的回应, 主啊！求祢不要收回向我们发出的呼召。我要将心归回, 喜悦神的道路, 要专心, 以为福音作见证为荣。
太4:12-16
耶稣听见约翰下了监、就退到加利利去．后又离开拿撒勒、往迦百农去、就住在那里．那地方靠海、在西布伦和拿弗他利的边界上。说『西布伦地、拿弗他利地、就是沿海的路、约但河外、外邦人的加利利地。那坐在黑暗里的百姓、看见了大光、坐在死荫之地的人、有光发现照着他们。』
Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee. Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sat in darkness saw a great light, to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, to them light has dawned."
主耶稣！约翰下了监, 祢的反应是退到加利利, 又离开拿撒勒, 或许有人认为祢胆怯。其实不然, 乃是要成就神的旨意。主啊！爱祢, 敬畏祢名的基督徒, 他们有时候好像消失不见踪影, 今天的经文, 提醒我, 不要太快对他们的举止下定论。
太4:10-11
耶稣说、撒但退去吧。〔撒但就是抵挡的意思乃魔鬼的别名〕因为经上记着说、『当拜主你的 神、单要事奉他。』于是魔鬼离了耶稣、有天使来伺候他。
Then Jesus said to him, "Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.'" Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.
主耶稣！我领悟到一点, 祢是用神的话去抵挡撒但, 而不是吩咐天使。祢的话说, 小子们哪, 你们是属神的, 并且胜了他们。因为那在你们里面的, 比那在世界上的更大。主啊！我要奉祢的名, 用祢的话去抵挡魔鬼撒但, 撒但退下后, 相信会有天使求伺服。
太4:7-9
耶稣对他说、经上又记着说、『不可试探主你的神。』魔鬼又带他上了一座最高的山、将世上的万国、与万国的荣华、都指给他看、对他说、你若俯伏拜我、我就把这一切都赐给你。
Jesus said to him, "Again, it is written, 'You shall not test the Lord, your God.'" Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory. He said to him, "I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me."
主耶稣！我看到撒但的诡诈, 想用世上列国的荣华来交易。主啊！我深信, 天国的荣耀是绝对不能交易的。地上的一切金银财宝, 都不能与永恒的荣耀相比的。
太4:5-6
魔鬼就带他进了圣城、叫他站在殿顶上、对他说、你若是 神的儿子、可以跳下去．因为经上记着说、『主要为你吩咐他的使者、用手托着你、免得你的脚碰在石头上。』
Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will put his angels in charge of you.' and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, so that you don't dash your foot against a stone.'"
主耶稣！魔鬼就带他进了圣城, 这节经文好特别。我感觉到撒旦今天也在圣所里试探人的私欲。主啊！求祢施恩怜悯在圣殿里服事的弟兄姐妹, 保守他们的心, 有明辨撒旦诡计的能力。
太4:3-4
那试探人的进前来、对他说、你若是神的儿子、可以吩咐这些石头变成食物。耶稣却回答说、经上记着说、『人活着、不是单靠食物、乃是靠 神口里所出的一切话。』
The tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread." But he answered, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'"
主耶稣！圣灵与我的心同证, 我是神的儿子。那试探祢的, 边必然会试探我, 主啊！我要效法祢的作为, 用神的话去敌挡撒旦的计谋。
太4:1-2
当时、耶稣被圣灵引到旷野、受魔鬼的试探。他禁食四十昼夜、后来就饿了。
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.
主耶稣！祢被圣灵引到旷野, 提醒我, 要凡事儆醒, 有时候圣灵会引领我到我不想去的地方, 认为那里是黑暗的地方。主啊！我愿意更顺服圣灵的引领, 不再抗拒圣灵的感动, 我只要多多的儆醒, 天天亲近神, 将神的话天天藏在心中。
太3:16-17
耶稣受了洗、随即从水里上来．天忽然为他开了、他就看见神的灵、彷佛鸽子降下、落在他身上。从天上有声音说、这是我的爱子、我所喜悦的。
Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him. Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
主耶稣！天为祢开了, 就看见神的灵, 且有声音说, 这几句话吸引着我。祢复活升天, 又赐下圣灵, 我们且可以听到神的话。主啊！祢升天, 掳掠仇敌, 天为我们开了, 如今, 我们的祷告, 可以升到神的宝座前。
太3:13-5
当下、耶稣从加利利来到约但河、见了约翰、要受他的洗。约翰想要拦住他、说、我当受你的洗、你反倒上我这里来么。耶稣回答说、你暂且许我．因为我们理当这样尽诸般的义．于是约翰许了他。
Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. But John would have hindered him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?" But Jesus, answering, said to him, "Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed him.
主耶稣！我在想, 祢可以不用受洗, 因为, 祢是圣灵受孕而生。主啊！祢说, 理当这样尽诸般的义, 提醒我该行的礼义, 都要尽心尽力去遵行。
太3:7-9
约翰看见许多法利赛人和撒都该人, 也来受洗, 就对他们说, 毒蛇的种类、谁指示你们逃避将来的忿怒呢。你们要结出果子来, 与悔改的心相称。不要自己心里说, 有亚伯拉罕为我们的祖宗。我告诉你们, 神能从这些石头中给亚伯拉罕兴起子孙来。
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance!
Don't think to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
主耶稣！法利赛人和撒都该人, 他们有的是敬虔的外貌, 宗教化的信仰, 与天父没有关系。施洗约翰说, 现在斧子已经放在树根上, 凡不结好果子的树, 就砍下来,丢在火里。主啊！耶和华神的日子近了, 现在斧子就在树根上, 凡不结好果子的树, 将被砍下来, 丢在火里。
太3:1-3
那时、有施洗的约翰出来、在犹太的旷野传道、说、天国近了、你们应当悔改。这人就是先知以赛亚所说的、他说、『在旷野有人声喊着说、预备主的道、修直他的路。』
In those days, John the Baptizer came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,
"Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!" For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make ready the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight."
主耶稣！二千年前, 施洗约翰宣告, 天国近了, 祢也同样的宣告。 主啊！我们信靠祢名的, 也要同声, 同样的宣告, 天国近了！审判撒旦的日子到了。新天新地, 新耶路撒冷圣城要从天降临的日子近了。
以下是烏干達總統在冠狀肺炎傳遍全世界的嚴峻時刻對他國民的致詞。 迄今為止，從來自世界各地對於有關Covid-19的演詞來說，被公認最佳演詞之一。
烏干達總統卡古塔·穆塞韋尼 告誡人們不要在COVID-19時期表現不佳，「上帝有很多工作需要做，整個世界都需要祂去照顧。他不能只是在烏干達這裡照顧你們這一班白痴。」
在戰爭情況下，沒有人要求任何人呆在室內。你會選擇留在室內。實際上，如果你有地下室，只要戰火持續下去，你都會一直呆在那裡。
在戰爭中，您不會堅持自己的自由。 您願意放棄它以換取生存。
在戰爭中，您不會抱怨飢餓。你會忍受飢餓，並祈求天父你能夠生存，有機會再次吃飯。
在戰爭中，你不會為商店營業而爭論。你會趕快及時關閉門戶，你會為自己的活命而禱告；並且祈求這場戰爭早日過去，以便你可以重拾若果僥倖尚存的家園。
在戰爭中，你會感恩上帝可以存活在有生命的地上，親眼看到新的一天。
在戰爭中，你不會擔心孩子不上學。 你會禱告祈求政府不要強迫他們當兵，而這些士兵要在現已變成軍用倉庫的學校場地接受軍訓。
世界目前正處於戰爭狀態：一場沒有槍支和子彈的戰爭；沒有人類士兵的戰爭；一場毫無國界的戰爭；沒有停火協議的戰爭；沒有作戰室的戰爭；沒有神聖地帶的戰爭。
這場戰爭中的軍隊毫不留情：它沒有任何人性。它是不分青紅皂白，它不會尊重兒童、婦女、或崇拜場所。 這支軍隊對戰利品毫不感興趣。毫無意願去改變政權，毫不關心地底下的豐富礦產資源。 它甚至對宗教，種族或意識形態霸權都不感興趣。 它的野心與種族優勢無關。它是一支看不見的，腳步輕盈，殘酷無情的軍隊。
它唯一的議程是去收穫死亡。 只有在把整個世界變成橫屍遍野的大屠場之後，它才會滿足。 它實現其目標的能力是毋庸置疑的。 這支軍隊並沒有陸戰、兩棲、或空戰設備，但它的基地卻幾乎遍布世界每一角落。 它的移動並不受任何戰爭公約或協議的約束。 簡而言之，這是一支橫行無忌的軍隊。 它是冠狀病毒。 也被稱為COVID-19（因為它是在主後2019年宣布了破壞性存在和意圖）。
不過，值得慶幸的好訊息是：這支軍隊都有弱點，它可以被擊敗。 只需要我們的集體行動，紀律和寬容。 COVID-19無法倖免於社交和軀體上的隔離。 它只有在你刻意面對它時才能蓬勃發展；牠喜歡被迎面對抗。 但面對集體性的社交和身軀上的距離，它投降了。它在保持良好個人衛生之前先鞠躬退役。 當你通過盡可能地掌握自己的命運，清潔雙手時，它更是無奈。
現今並不是哭泣之時，像被寵壞的孩童那樣，哭泣暫時肚飢的時候。 畢竟，聖經告訴我們，「人活著不是單靠食物」《馬太福音4:4》。 讓我們服從並遵循當局的指示。 讓我們拉平COVID-19的曲線。 讓我們保持耐心。 讓我們成為兄弟互相的守護。 我們恢復自由、進取和社會交往，指日可待。
在緊急狀態中，好讓我們操練迫切性的互相服務，和迫切性的互相關懷。但願慈愛的天父上帝憐憫祝福各位。
以上是「新冠病毒」疫情中，被公認為曾經發表過的明智公開演講。
太2:16
希律见自己被博士愚弄、就大大发怒、差人将伯利恒城里、并四境所有的男孩、照着他向博士仔细查问的时候、凡两岁以里的、都杀尽了。
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out, and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.
主耶稣！杀害无辜的小孩, 这是何等残暴。合法堕胎, 杀死胎儿, 主啊！胎儿的血在祢面前, 求祢来，施行公义的审判。
