重整人生的優先次序: Reset Life’s Priorities
人被造是為榮耀神,神是我們永遠的首位,當我們將人生優先次序弄錯後,人生會陷入一個惡性的循環裡,相反,當我們以神為首位,我們會經歷神的同在與祝福。
Man was created to glorify God, and God should always be first and foremost in our lives. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung reminds us that misplaced priorities will trap us in a vicious cycle. Let us learn to put God first and experience God’s presence and blessings.
