不批評不論斷多接納 (一) No Criticism, No Judgment, More Acceptance (1)
教會裡有二種的信徒, 信心軟弱的信徒與信心剛強的信徒。信心軟弱的是指他們對真理的認識比較淺, 以為還要遵守律法的規定; 信心剛強的是指他們對真理的認識比較深, 他們知道所有律法的規定都已經過去了。當我們的看法與意見不同時, 我們當怎樣去面對, 答案是: 不批評不論斷多接納。
Believers in the church may have different views and depths of understanding the truth — especially when it pertains to what is by the law and what is by grace. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung reminds us that we should accept each other’s journey in the faith, never criticizing or passing judgment on others.
