Speaking in Tongue 讲方言

一直我很感兴趣的话题，我所探讨的答案。。无意间，有了些头绪。。。

哥林多前书第14章讲述了讲方言的定义与用意

人能说方言是有恩赐的表现，哥林多教会为何担心？

14:2　哥林多教会非常关注“说方言”的问题，因为它引起了敬拜中的混乱。无疑说方言是圣灵赐下的恩赐之一，但哥林多教会的信徒却以它作为灵性高超的标志，失去了促进教会合一的意义。正确运用恩赐来帮助信徒，才是有益的。我们切不可按自己的喜好来乱用恩赐。

保罗对这说方言的事情有一些意见，且听听……

14:2-25　保罗就说方言的问题提出了以下的看法：

（1）它是神赐下的属灵恩赐（14:2）；

（2）尽管它不是我们信仰所必须的，但也是很有价值 的恩赐（12:28-31）；

（3）相对于先知和教导的恩赐，它较为次要（14:4）。

虽然保罗自己也说方言，他强调的只是先知讲道，因为它对全教会都有 好处；而说方言基本上只是为说的人带来益处。公开敬拜必须用众人都能够明白的语言进行，造就全教会。 如果别人听不明，我就宁放弃自己的好处──这是保罗的意见，你的呢？

14:5-12　保罗指出，以听众的语言来传讲信息会更有效果，更能造就人。世界上有许多种语（14:10），讲不同语言的人很难互相沟通，讲方言也是 这样。虽然这个恩赐对于许多人在个人敬拜时很有帮助，但只有加上翻译，才对会众有帮助。所以保罗说，他宁愿讲五句听众可以明白的话，胜过讲万句他们不明白 的方言（14:19）。

讲方言，也可以使别人得到造就，只要……

14:13-20　如果有人拥有讲方言的恩赐，他应该同样祈求翻译方言的恩赐，以至他可以告诉别人他讲的是什么。这样，全教会就可以藉这个恩赐而得到造就。

讲方言也是一种接触非信徒的方法，那方法是……

14:22-25　哥林多信徒说方言，对别人没有帮助，因为他们不能明白方言的意思，而非信徒甚至认为讲方言的人是癫狂的。其实说方言应是给不信者的 一个证据（参徒2章）。当说了方言之后，信徒应该解释方言的内容，并将荣耀归给神。非信徒因此便觉察到属灵世界的真实性，并且促使他们进一步寻求基督信 仰。不过这虽是接触非信徒的方式之一，但保罗仍然认为讲道更加好（14:5）。

方言并不是坏事，不过讲方言，也需要懂得翻译。自己讲的，要明白，也能够向别人解释，以造就更多的人。。。

    本来,看到酱多字,我也有点懒惰去读...不过,还是看了一下下。

    其实，方言对我来说，也是一种人与人之间沟通的语言，没有说好不好的。

    对某些人，方言可能是多余，但是缺少了方言，你又如何了解其他人呢？

    要知道，不是每个人都懂正宗的语言。不应该把自己作为中心点。

    学会接受，才会了解，然后进步

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....

Spell or Hallucination

If you know a person, She claimed that "the maid put the spell on my family, at night a small boy will bite my foot, when I kick him away and I heard the sound of crying. Apart from that, she is mumbling at night. My daughter started to speak rudely to me, and did not call me as mother anymore. She moved back to her own house. My husband, he started to scold me in Malay, and also instructed the maid to beat grandsons. Everyone is sided the maid" No one is believing what she said. Her children claimed that she is just hallucination. She is just thinking too much because of her experience in stroke. After she got a stroke, things started to change. Her family did not treat her well. What is your advice? Is the maid put the spell on her family? Is she just thinking too much?

How to train your dragon (Movie)

If you said it is a waste to watch animation or cartoon in cinema, I will reject your idea. Firstly, most of the animation strongly project good moral ethics or values for the reference of audiences especially children. During the childhood, children ought to differentiate the right and the wrong distinctively, neither grey area nor in between. Value always serves as a guideline for us to oblige, not a compulsory because decision is still lied in the hand of human. This movie secretly intruded my deepen heart. It talked about relationship, a bond between dragon and human. The main character, Hiccup chose to save the night fury (dragon) because he saw the fear from its eye. Even a human, we got attracted or closer with people who are similar to us because we feel we able to understand each other better compared to differences. The flow of movie discussed the process of rejection, acceptance, understand and devotion in a relationship. When we are just a stranger for each other, we are re...
