16/07/2026

感謝主，東山教會長執今天下午開會正式決定我的任期到7月底，我在7/19日之前就會搬離東山教會，新的傳道即將來東山教會就任，從8月開始我只負責靈修中心的事工，9/19日開始為期3個月張思聰牧師內在醫治的課程。另外一件事我的網站將在7/19日有關東山教會的網站也即將關閉，只剩下我個人的網站，感謝大家從2015年的支持和陪伴到2026年共有11年的時間，願上帝祝福大家平安喜樂。
Thankfully, the President of Dongshan Church formally decided at today's meeting that my term will end by the end of July. I will move out of Dongshan Church by the end of July. Starting from August, I will only be responsible for the spiritual center, and Pastor Zhang Sicong's healing course will begin on September 19. Another thing is that my website for Dongshan Church will also be shutting down on July 19th, leaving only my personal website. Thank you for your support and companionship from 2015 until November 2026. May God bless everyone with peace and joy.

2026年7/16日台南東山教會每日靈修
第一季（1～3月）
主題：認識神
你們要認識耶和華，竭力追求認識祂。(何西阿書6：3）
每日靈修內容：
日期：7月16日
題目：神是信實的神
經文：(耶利米哀歌3：22-23)
我們不致消滅，是出於耶和華諸般的慈愛；是因祂的憐憫不致斷絕。
每早晨，這都是新的；你的信實極其廣大。
一、主題：
認識神是信實的神──在困境中仍然充滿盼望。
1.課程目標：
1).認識神是一位永遠信實、守約施慈愛的神。
2).明白神的信實不因人的失敗或環境改變而改變。
3).學習在困難、疾病、挫折中仍然信靠神。
4).天天領受神新的恩典與憐憫，活出充滿盼望的人生。
2.什麼是信實的神？
信實就是誠實、
信實就是可靠、
信實就是守約、
信實就是不改變。
神所說的每一句話都是真實的，祂所應許的必定成就。
人的愛可能改變，
人的承諾也可能落空，但神永不失信。
祂是從昨日、到今日、直到永遠都是一樣，因此我們可以放心把生命交託給祂。
二、聖經背景：
1.耶利米哀歌寫於耶路撒冷被巴比倫攻陷之後。
當時聖殿被毀、百姓被擄、家園盡失，到處充滿哀傷與絕望。
然而，耶利米並沒有停留在悲傷中，而是仰望神，宣告：耶和華的慈愛沒有止息，祂的憐憫每天都是新的，祂的信實極其廣大。
這提醒我們：
環境雖然改變，神卻永不改變。
2.這段經文指出三件事：
◎.神的慈愛使我們不致滅亡。
◎.神的憐憫每天都是新的，不會斷絕。
◎.神的信實極其廣大，永遠可靠。
●.耶利米的盼望，
不是建立在順利的環境，而是建立在神的屬性。
●.耶利米即使遭遇苦難，
神仍然掌權，仍然施恩。
●.神的信實不是表示，
人生沒有風浪，而是祂在風浪中始終與我們同在，並且成就祂美善的旨意。
三、今天我們如何經歷神的信實？
1.每天相信神仍掌管一切。
即使事情沒有照自己的期待發展，仍相信神有美好的旨意。
◎.每天領受新的恩典。
不要一直活在昨天的失敗裡。
神今天仍然愛你。
◎.抓住神的應許。
神所應許的，必定成就。
2.有一位農夫，
經歷颱風毀壞果園，損失慘重。
他雖然難過，仍然每天向神禱告，相信神會帶領前面的道路。
第二年，果園重新結果，生活也逐漸恢復。
這位農夫他說：
不是因為沒有風雨，而是因為神一直沒有離開我。
這正是神信實的見證。
四、個人默想與禱告：
1.當你遇見困難時，最容易懷疑神的什麼？
• 是懷疑神是否仍然愛我？
• 是懷疑神是否聽見我的禱告？
• 是懷疑神是否仍然掌管一切？
• 是懷疑神是否會帶領我走過困難？
請分享一個你曾經感到灰心、疑惑，卻後來經歷神幫助的經驗。
2.過去你曾在哪一件事上經歷神的信實？
回想人生的道路，也許是在生病時、經濟困難時、家庭遭遇危機時，或面對重大決定時，神都沒有離開你。
分享：
• 神如何供應你的需要？
• 神如何帶領你走過低谷？
• 神如何回應你的禱告？
3.每早晨都是新的」這句話，對你今天有什麼提醒？
（耶利米哀歌3：23）
這句經文提醒我們：
• 昨天已經過去，不必一直活在失敗裡。
• 今天是神重新賜下恩典的一天。
• 神每天都有新的憐憫、新的力量和新的盼望。
分享：
今天，你最需要神更新的是什麼？
4.你可以如何在每天的生活中，更信靠神的信實？
可以從一些簡單的屬靈操練開始：
• 每天用禱告開始新的一天。
• 每天讀一段聖經，相信神的應許。
• 常常數算神過去的恩典。
• 遇見困難時，不急著抱怨，而是先禱告交託。
• 在等待中仍然相信神最好的時間。
分享：
本週，你願意用哪一個實際行動來學習信靠神？
五、感恩與代禱
1. 為東山教會社區關懷據點禱告
本週（7月15日至7月17日）社區關懷據點將連續三天舉辦活動，求主賜福每一項課程順利進行，保守長輩們都有健康、平安與喜樂的心，透過活動增進身心健康，也能感受到教會的關懷與神的愛。求主賜給所有同工、志工有充足的體力、智慧與愛心，一同成為社區的祝福。
2. 為7月19日交換講台事工禱告
7月19日為台南公報社募款主日，將舉行交換講台事工。柳營長老教會謝豐隆牧師將蒞臨東山教會分享神的話語；劉芳桂傳道則前往柳營長老教會講道。求聖靈親自引導兩位主僕的信息，使所傳講的信息造就教會、堅固信徒，也求主賜福公報社的文字宣教事工，讓更多人因福音得著生命。
3. 為教會下一代事工禱告
請持續為東山教會的主日學、學青團契及社青團契代禱，求主吸引更多兒童、青少年和青年來到教會，在真道上扎根成長。
也請特別為7月26日學青團契募款活動禱告，為前往台中后里麗寶樂園一日遊籌募活動經費。求主預備所需的一切，使募款順利，也藉著活動培養青年同心合作、彼此服事的精神，在團契中建立美好的信仰與友誼，成為教會未來的重要力量。
若不是耶和華建造房屋，建造的人就枉然勞力；若不是耶和華看守城池，看守的人就枉然警醒。（詩篇127：1）
共同禱告：
願主繼續建立東山教會，賜福各項事工，使長者得關懷、青年得造就、兒童得栽培，讓教會成為社區的祝福，榮耀主的聖名。阿們。

Five, Gratitude and Prayer
1. Pray for the Care Hub of Dongshan Church Community
This week (July 15-17), the community care hub will host events for three consecutive days. May the Lord bless each course with health, peace, and joy. Through these activities, elders can enhance their physical and mental well-being and feel the church's care and God's love. Pray that the Lord grants all workers and volunteers ample physical strength, wisdom, and love to become blessings for the community together.
2. Pray for the exchange podium ministry on July 19th
July 19 is the fundraising Sunday for the Tainan Gazette, and an exchange podium ministry will be held. Pastor Xie Fenglong from Liuying Elder Church will visit Dongshan Church to share God's word; Liu Fanggui will preach at Liuying Elder Church. Pray that the Holy Spirit personally guides the message of the two servants, so that the message may build up the church and strengthen believers. Also, pray that the Lord blesses the textual ministry of the gospel so that more people may find life through it.
3. Pray for the next generation of the church's ministry
Please continue to pray for the Sunday school, youth fellowship, and social fellowship of Dongshan Church, asking the Lord to attract more children, teenagers, and young adults to the church and take root and grow in the faith.
Also, please pray especially for the youth fellowship fundraising event on July 26th, to raise funds for a one-day trip to Taichung Houli Libao Amusement Park. Pray that the Lord prepares everything needed to ensure a smooth fundraising process, and through activities, foster a spirit of unity, cooperation, and mutual service among young people, establishing beautiful faith and friendship in fellowship, becoming an important force for the church's future.
If it is not the Lord who builds the house, the builders labor in vain; if it is not the Lord who guards the city, the watchmen remain vigilant in vain. (Psalm 127:1)
Joint prayer:
May the Lord continue to establish the East Mountain Church, bless various ministries, and nurture elders, youth, and children, making the church a blessing for the community and glorifying the Lord's holy name. Amen.

2026年7/15日台南東山教會每日靈修
第一季（1～3月）
主題：認識神
你們要認識耶和華，竭力追求認識祂。(何西阿書6：3）
每日靈修內容：
日期：7月15日
題目：神是慈愛的父
經文：(約翰一書4：8-10)沒有愛心的，就不認識神，因為神就是愛。
神差祂獨生子到世間來，
使我們藉著祂得生，神愛我們的心在此就顯明了。
不是我們愛神，乃是神愛我們，差祂的兒子為我們的罪作了挽回祭，這就是愛了。
一、定義
神是慈愛的父，是指神以父親的心腸愛每一個人。
1.祂不只是創造天地的主，
◎.也是願意接納、
◎.也是願意赦免、
◎也是願意保護、
◎也是願意引導兒女的天父。
2.神的愛不是建立在人是否完全，
而是出於祂永恆的本性。
當人還在罪中、遠離祂的時候，
神就主動施恩，差遣耶穌基督來拯救我們，使凡相信祂的人都能成為神的兒女，享受天父的慈愛與恩典。
神的慈愛不是一種感覺，
而是一種永不改變、主動施恩、願意犧牲的愛。
3.聖經從創世記到啟示錄，
不斷向我們啟示神是一位慈愛的父。
在舊約，神像父親一樣照顧以色列百姓，
供應他們、
保護他們，
耐心教導他們（申命記1：31）。
到了新約，耶穌更稱神為「父」，並教導門徒禱告說：「我們在天上的父。」（馬
①.耶穌藉著浪子的比喻（路加福音15章），
讓我們看見天父的心。浪子雖然離家、浪費產業，但當他願意回頭時，父親立刻跑去迎接他、擁抱他、赦免他，恢復他的身分。
②.(約翰一書4：8-10)更進一步告訴我們，神就是愛。
祂最大的愛，就是差遣獨生子耶穌基督來到世上，為我們的罪作挽回祭，使我們得著新生命。
慈愛是神的本性，也是整本聖經救恩的核心。
二、聖經背景
(約翰一書4：8-10)是整卷約翰一書最重要的經文之一，也是聖經中對神的愛最完整的宣告。
1.約翰寫信給信徒，
提醒他們不要只停留在口頭上的信仰，而要從神的本性、耶穌基督的救恩，以及十字架的犧牲，真正認識什麼是愛。
這段經文告訴我們：
愛的源頭不是人，而是神；
愛的最高表現不是言語，而是耶穌基督為世人捨命。
2.(約翰一書是使徒約翰晚年寫給眾教會的牧養書信。
當時教會受到假教師影響，
有人否認耶穌真正道成肉身，也有人自稱認識神，卻沒有愛心，甚至破壞教會的合一。
◎.因此，約翰提醒信徒：
真正認識神的人，不只是有知識，更會活出愛。
◎.因為神的本性就是愛，
凡屬神的人，也必定會流露出神的愛。
3.第四章的主題，就是分辨真假信仰。
真正屬神的人，有三個重要記號：
1).承認耶穌是基督、
2).順服神的真理、
3).彼此相愛。而第8至10節更是全章的中心，指出愛的真正來源，就是神自己。
三、聖經告訴我們，
有一種永不改變的愛，就是神的愛。
(約翰一書4：8–10)讓我們認識愛的真正源頭，也告訴我們如何活出愛。
這段經文可以歸納為三個重點。
1).神就是愛。
2).神藉著耶穌顯明祂的愛。
3).十字架是神愛最大的證明
1.十字架就是神愛最大的證明（約翰一書4：10）
不是我們愛神，乃是神愛我們，差祂的兒子為我們的罪作了挽回祭，這就是愛了。
愛是神主動開始的
約翰提醒我們，救恩不是因為人先尋找神，也不是因為人足夠善良。
●.人在犯罪、
●.人遠離神、
●.人無法靠自己得救的時候，
神就先愛我們，主動向人伸出救恩的手。
2.正如羅馬書5：8所說：
惟有基督在我們還作罪人的時候為我們死，神的愛就在此向我們顯明了。
因此，福音不是人在尋找神，而是神先尋找失喪的人。
①.耶穌成為＜挽回祭＞
挽回祭是這段經文的重要詞語。
◎.在舊約中，
人犯罪後，需要獻祭，象徵罪得赦免，人與神恢復關係。
◎.到了新約，
耶穌基督親自成為永遠的祭物。
祂在十字架上代替我們，
承擔罪的刑罰，
滿足神公義的要求，
使相信祂的人罪得赦免，重新與神和好。
因此，耶穌不是只教導愛，而是用自己的生命完成了愛。
2.十字架是神愛最大的證明
神的愛不是一句口號，也不是一種感覺，而是具體的行動。
耶穌甘願離開天上的榮耀，
道成肉身，最後為世人的罪被釘在十字架上。
十字架同時彰顯了：
1).神的公義 ＝ 罪必須受到審判。
2)神的慈愛 ＝ 耶穌代替罪人承受刑罰。
3).神的恩典 ＝ 凡信靠耶穌的人，都能白白得著救恩。
因此，十字架是神愛世人最偉大的證明，也是基督信仰的核心。
四、感恩與代禱
1. 為退休搬遷感恩與代禱
感謝主，最近正忙著搬離教會宿舍。因年滿70歲退休，即將離開與惠玲一起牧養超過30年的東山長老教會。想到即將離開熟悉的教會、弟兄姊妹和生活環境，心中難免充滿不捨，但也相信這是神在不同人生階段的帶領。
感謝主，退休後已有新的住處，兩個女兒也已提早搬去整理和居住，對新的房子和生活環境都很滿意，這是神美好的預備。
**代禱：**求主賜下平安與力量，使搬遷過程一切順利，也保守未來的退休生活，讓我們在新的環境中，仍然能繼續服事神、關懷人，成為別人的祝福。
2. 為身體健康代禱
近日因年紀漸長、身體免疫力下降，加上搬家的忙碌與壓力，罹患了俗稱「皮蛇」的帶狀疱疹。目前除疱疹外，也伴隨神經疼痛，需要持續接受治療與休養。
**代禱：**求主施恩醫治，減輕疼痛，保守病情不要惡化，也避免影響眼睛及其他部位。求神賜下足夠的體力與精神，使身體早日康復，能平安完成搬遷，並展開退休後新的生活。
耶和華是我的牧者，我必不致缺乏。（詩篇23：1）
願主繼續引導前面的道路，使我們無論在事奉或退休的人生階段，都能經歷祂豐盛的恩典與信實。
Daily Devotion at Dongshan Church, Tainan, July 15, 2026
Season 1 (January to March)
Theme: Knowing God
You should come to know the Lord and strive to know Him. (Hosea 6:3)
Daily spiritual content:
Date: July 15
Title: God is a Merciful Father
Without love, one does not know God, for God is love.
God sent His only Son into the world,
Let us be born through Him, and God's love for us is made clear here.
It is not that we love God, but that God loves us and sent His Son as a sacrifice for our sins, which is love.
One, Definitions
God is a loving father, referring to God loving everyone with a father's heart.
1. He is not just the Lord who created heaven and earth,
◎ Also willing to accept,
◎ Also willing to grant forgiveness,
◎ Also willing to protect,
◎Heavenly Father who is willing to guide His children.
2. God's love is not based on whether a person is complete,
Rather, it is out of His eternal nature.
When people are still in sin and distancing themselves from Him,
God proactively bestowed His grace, sending Jesus Christ to save us so that all who believe in Him may become children of God and enjoy the love and grace of the Father.
God's kindness is not a feeling,
And it is a love that never changes, actively shows kindness, and is willing to sacrifice.
3. The Bible spans from Genesis to Revelation,
Continuously revealing to us that God is a loving father.
In the Old Testament, God cared for the Israelite people like a father.
Supply them,
Protect them,
Patience teaches them (Deuteronomy 1:31).
In the New Testament, Jesus referred to God as "Father" and taught his disciples to pray, saying, "Our Father in heaven." "(Ma"
①Jesus used the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15),
Let us see the heart of our Heavenly Father. Although the prodigal son had left home and wasted his possessions, when he was willing to turn back, his father immediately ran to greet him, hugged him, forgave him, and restored his identity.
②(1 John 4:8-10) Further tells us that God is love.
His greatest love is sending his only Son, Jesus Christ, into the world as a sacrifice for our sins, so that we may have new life.
Kindness is God's nature and the core of salvation throughout the entire Bible.
Two, Biblical Background
(1 John 4:8-10) is one of the most important passages in 1 John, and also the most complete declaration of God's love in the Bible.
1. John wrote to the believers,
Remind them not to limit their faith to mere words, but to truly understand what love is through God's nature, Jesus Christ's salvation, and the sacrifice on the cross.
This passage tells us:
The source of love is not humanity, but God;
The highest manifestation of love is not words, but Jesus Christ's sacrifice for the world.
2. 1 John is a pastoral letter written by the Apostle John to the churches in his later years.
At the time, the church was influenced by false teachers,
Some deny that Jesus truly became incarnate, while others claim to know God without love, even undermining the unity of the church.
◎ Therefore, John reminded the believers:
Those who truly know God not only possess knowledge but also live out love.
◎ Because God's nature is love,
All who belong to God will inevitably reveal His love.
3. The theme of Chapter Four is to distinguish between genuine and false beliefs.
Truly divine people have three important signs:
1)Acknowledge Jesus as Christ,
2)Obedience to God's truth,
3)Love each other. And verses 8 to 10 are at the heart of the entire chapter, pointing out that the true source of love is God Himself.
Three, the Bible tells us,
There is a love that never changes, and that is God's love.
Let us recognize the true source of love and tell us how to live out it.
This passage can be summarized in three key points.
1)God is love.
2)God reveals His love through Jesus.
3)The cross is the greatest proof of God's love.
The cross is the greatest proof of God's love (1 John 4:10)
It is not that we love God, but that God loves us and sent His Son as a sacrifice for our sins, which is love.
Love is when God initiates it proactively.
John reminds us that salvation is not about people seeking God first, nor is it about people being sufficiently good.
● People committing crimes,
● People distance themselves from God,
● When people cannot be saved on their own,
God first loved us and proactively extended a hand of salvation to humanity.
2. As Romans 5:8 says:
Only Christ died for us while we were still sinners, thereby revealing God's love to us.
Therefore, the gospel is not about people seeking God, but about God first seeking the lost.
①Jesus became the sacrificial offering for atonement.
The sacrificial offering is an important term in this passage.
◎ In the Old Testament,
After a person commits a crime, they need to offer sacrifices to symbolize the forgiveness of sins and the restoration of their relationship with God.
◎ In the New Testament,
Jesus Christ himself became the eternal sacrifice.
He took our place on the cross,
To bear the punishment for sin,
To meet the requirements of divine justice,
Let those who believe in Him have their sins forgiven and be reconciled with God.
Therefore, Jesus did not just teach love but fulfilled it with his own life.
2. The cross is the greatest proof of God's love.
God's love is not just a slogan or a feeling, but concrete actions.
Jesus willingly left behind the glory of heaven,
Incarnated, he was ultimately crucified for the sins of the world.
The cross simultaneously demonstrated:
1). God's righteousness = Sin must be judged.
2)God's lovingkindness = Jesus bore the punishment on behalf of sinners.
3). The Grace of God = All who trust in Jesus can receive salvation freely.
Therefore, the cross is the greatest proof of God's love for humanity and the core of Christian faith.
Four, Gratitude and Prayer
1. To express gratitude and pray for retirement and relocation
Thank goodness, I've been busy moving out of the church dormitory recently. Retiring at 70 years old, I am about to leave Dongshan Elder Church, which I have tended with Huiling for over 30 years. Thinking about leaving the familiar church, brothers and sisters, and living environment, one can't help but feel a sense of reluctance, but they also believe this is God's guidance at different stages of life.
Thankfully, I have a new place to live after retirement, and my two daughters have moved in early to tidy up and settle in. I am very satisfied with the new house and living environment, which is a wonderful preparation from God.
**Prayer: **May the Lord grant us peace and strength to ensure a smooth relocation process and secure our future retirement, so that we may continue to serve God, care for others, and be a blessing to them in our new environment.
2. Pray for good health
Recently, due to aging, weakened immune systems, and the busyness and stress of moving, I have contracted shingles, commonly known as "skin snakes." Currently, in addition to herpes, neurological pain is also present and requires ongoing treatment and rest.
**Prayer: **May the Lord bestow His mercy on healing, alleviate pain, prevent the condition from worsening, and avoid affecting the eyes and other areas. Pray that God grants sufficient physical and mental strength so that your body can recover soon, allowing you to safely complete the relocation and embark on a new life after retirement.
The Lord is my shepherd; I will not lack. (Psalm 23:1)
May the Lord continue to guide us on the path ahead, so that we may experience His abundant grace and faithfulness at both service and retirement stages of our lives. 顯示較少

2026年7/14日家庭禮拜
題目：人到年老的時
經文：(詩篇90：10)我們一生的年歲是多少
不過七十，
健壯的
強壯的可能到八十；
重點是，你活在這個世上，
你努力的結果
用盡你的力氣
你所得的結果是什麼呢？
勞苦憂愁
勞苦愁煩
勞苦重擔
生命轉眼就過去，你留下了什麼？
一、人到年老的時
老人有四慢，那四慢？
1).吃飯慢
2).呼吸慢
3).喝水慢
4).走路慢。
人活越老，越會怎樣：
愈老愈固執？
脾氣會越壞？
體力會越差？
失落感越重？
老人會有失落感嗎？
空虚失落感
退休失落感
整日在家
無事可做
子孫又不在身邊。
人到年老的時，會出現什麼樣的表情；
1. 無奈
有時因為身體不如從前，想做的事情做不了；
孩子長大離家、朋友漸漸減少，心裡難免有一種無奈。
無奈不是沒有信心，而是人生真實的感受。
2. 苦笑
有時候會對自己說：老了，沒辦法了。
雖然嘴角帶著笑，心裡卻藏著許多辛酸。
苦笑背後，可能有失落、遺憾，也可能有對人生的感嘆。
3. 擔憂
擔心自己的健康、經濟、子女，甚至擔心未來需要別人照顧。
4. 孤單
退休後生活圈變小，老朋友一位一位離開，心裡容易感到孤單。
5. 感恩
有些長輩雖然經歷許多風雨，卻更加珍惜每天的生活，感謝神仍然賜下生命、家人和朋友。
6. 平安的笑容
真正認識神的人，到了晚年，不一定沒有眼淚，但臉上會多了一份平安。
因為他知道：
神沒有離開我，祂仍然陪伴我。
正如詩篇71：18說：
神啊，我到年老髮白的時候，求祢不要離棄我。
人的表情，其實反映了人的內心。
有人臉上充滿無奈，有人常常苦笑，
也有人因著信靠神，即使頭髮白了，臉上仍然流露出平安與盼望。
年老不是人生的終點，
而是另一段旅程的開始。當心中有神，就算身體一天一天衰老，內心仍然可以一天一天更新，活出喜樂、感恩與盼望。（參哥林多後書4：16）
二、人到年老的時，會出現這4種現象；
第一種現象無助感
第二種現象失落感
第三種現象倦怠感
第四種現象無力感。
1.人到年老的時，會失去什麼？
1).失去青春
2).失去自信
3).失去記憶
4).失去體力
5).反應速度變慢
6).忘東忘西
人到年老的痛苦是什麼？
你又來了
你又忘記
才剛講過
你無頭神。
2.人到年老的時，
人生要看會破，你就會快樂一生。
1).靜則無煩惱，
2).動則事務多。
看你個人怎樣選擇，健康最重要！
二、吃老有五壞
①.站著無元氣
②.見講講過去
③.隨講隨忘記
④.要死沒勇氣
⑤.只有繼續活下去
我們都曾經聽人講
沒用的老人，是在指什麼沒用？
身體麥做主
氣力漸衰弱
年齡漸漸大
老人在講話，是都在講什麼？
您吃飽了嗎？
昨晚有睡好嗎？
孩子有回家嗎？
2.老人有壓力嗎？
有
還是沒有。
人越老
壓力越大，還是越小。
老人越來越老，孩子又那麼小，
還要工作過生活
還要賺錢養家，
有的家庭還有貸款
買房
買車
你若一直跟你的孩子說這兩句話：
我老了
沒用了.
你想你的孩子會怎樣跟你講三安：
①.人安
②.心安
③.平安
還會附帶兩句話；
吃得少，人沒活力
關在家，不想出門
人若老了，最怕什麼？
不是孤獨，
不是死亡，
日子壞過
那最怕什麼呢？
怕死
放不下
走不開腳
人老了，你要靠什麼人？
人老了，不管你有什麼？
有錢或是沒錢，
有孩子或是沒孩子，
只要你身體健康，
自己能動自己能走，你就能夠保證基本的生活品質。

Title: As People Grow Old
What are the years of our lives?
However, at seventy,
strong
Stronger than eighty;
The key is, you live in this world,
The result of your efforts
Use all your strength
What was your result?
toil and sorrow
toil and sorrow
heavy burden
Life flies by, and what have you left behind?
One, as people grow old
The elderly person has four slow ones, which four slow ones?
1)Eat slowly
2)Breathing slowly
3)Drink water slowly
4)Walk slowly.
The older a person lives, the more likely they become:
The older you get, the more stubborn you become?
Will my temper get worse?
Will my stamina get worse?
The stronger the sense of loss?
Do elderly people feel a sense of loss?
emptiness and sense of loss
Retirement sense of loss
Stay at home all day
Boredom
The descendants are not by my side.
What expressions do people exhibit when they grow old;
1. Helpless
Sometimes, because my body isn't as good as it used to be, I can't do what I
As the child grows up and leaves home with fewer friends, a sense of helplessness inevitably arises.
Helplessness is not a lack of confidence, but rather the genuine feelings of life.
2. forced smile
Sometimes I tell myself: I'm getting old, there's nothing I can do about it.
Although a smile played on his lips, his heart was filled with much bitterness.
Behind a bitter smile, there might be feelings of loss, regret, or reflections on life.
3. Worry
Worrying about one's health, economy, children, and even worrying about needing care from others in the future.
4. Loneliness
After retirement, my social circle shrinks, and old friends leave one by one, making me feel lonely.
5. Gratitude
Some elders, despite weathering many storms, cherish their daily lives even more, thanking God for still bestowing life, family, and friends upon them.
6. Peaceful smile
Those who truly know God may not be without tears in their later years, but there is a greater sense of peace on their faces.
Because he knew:
God has not left me; He still accompanies me.
Just as Psalm 71:18 says:
God, when I grow old and pale, do not forsake me.
A person's expression actually reflects their inner self.
Some people's faces are filled with helplessness, while others often smile bitterly.
Some people, relying on God, still wear a look of peace and hope even when their hair turns white.
Old age is not the end of life,
Instead, it marks the beginning of another journey. Beware of the divine; even as our bodies age day by day, our hearts can still be renewed day by day, living with joy, gratitude, and hope. (2 Corinthians 4:16)
Two, as people age, these four phenomena will appear;
First phenomenon: feelings of helplessness
The second phenomenon is a sense of loss.
Third phenomenon: feelings of burnout
The fourth phenomenon is feelings of powerlessness.
1. What do people lose when they grow old?
1)Losing Youth
2)Loss of confidence
3)Loss of memory
4)Loss of physical strength
5)Response speed slows down
6)Forget the East and Forget the West
What is the pain of old age?
You're back again
You've forgotten again.
Just talked about it
You are a headless god.
2. When people grow old,
Life will bring you joy for the rest of your life if you see it through.
1)Silence brings no worries,
2)Actions speak louder than words.
It depends on how you choose personally; health is the most important!
Two, Eating Always Has Five Bad Things
①Standing with no vitality
②Let's talk about the past.
③Talk and forget
④To die without courage
⑤Only by continuing to live
We have all heard about it before.
Useless elders refer to something that is useless?
Body wheat is in charge
Weakened strength
Age is gradually increasing.
What are the elderly people talking about?
Are you full?
Did you sleep well last night?
Has the child gone home?
2. Does the elderly person feel stressed?
There
Still not.
The older a person gets
The greater the pressure, the less.
The elderly are getting older, and the children are so young,
Still need to live and work
Still need to earn money to support the family,
Some families still have loans.
Buying a house
Buying a car
If you keep saying these two sentences to your child:
I am getting old
It's useless.
How would your child tell you about San'an:
①People's safety
②Peace of mind
③Peace
It will also include two sentences;
Eating less leaves one lacking energy.
Trapped at home, didn't want to go out
What do people fear most when they grow old?
Not loneliness,
Not death,
Days were bad.
What's the scariest thing about that?
Fear of death
Can't let go
Unable to move around
Who do you rely on as you grow old?
As people age, no matter what you have?
Having money or not,
With or without children,
As long as you are healthy,
By being able to move and walk, you can ensure a basic quality of life.
Family members
nursing home
Community friends
After that, the church will collaborate with the interior minister to have someone cook.

2026年7/11日台南東山教會每日靈修
第一季（1～3月）
主題：認識神
你們要認識耶和華，竭力追求認識祂。(何西阿書6：3）
每日靈修內容：
日期：7月11日
題目：神是聖潔的神
經文：(以賽亞書6：3) 彼此呼喊說：聖哉！聖哉！聖哉！萬軍之耶和華；祂的榮光充滿全地！
一、聖經背景
1.以賽亞書第六章記載先知以賽亞蒙召的經歷。
當時猶大王烏西雅去世（約主前740年），
國家表面繁榮，實際上屬靈光景敗壞，
百姓遠離神，社會充滿驕傲、不公與拜偶像。
就在政治充滿不安、人心惶惶之際，
以賽亞在聖殿中看見神坐在高高的寶座上，天使（撒拉弗）侍立在神面前，不停敬拜，高聲宣告：
聖哉！聖哉！聖哉！萬軍之耶和華；祂的榮光充滿全地！
這不是人的讚美，
是天上的敬拜，也讓以賽亞真正認識神的本性。
2.本節經文有三個重要的信息。
①.神是完全聖潔的神
＜聖哉＞這句話連續說三次，是希伯來文表達最高程度的方法。
意思是：
◎.神毫無罪惡
◎.神完全公義
◎.神與世上一切罪惡分別
神不是比較聖潔，而是絕對聖潔。
②.神是統管萬軍的主
萬軍之耶和華這句話表示：
1).天上的天使
2).地上的萬國
3).全宇宙萬物
4).都在神權柄之下。
人的王會去世，但神永遠掌權。
③.神的榮耀充滿全地
神的榮耀不只是在聖殿。
整個世界都彰顯神：
大自然
人類生命
歷史發展
教會見證
都可以看見神的榮耀。
二、(以賽亞書6：3)經文中看見什麼？
1.撒拉弗彼此呼喊敬拜神。
呼喊三次＜聖哉＞。
◎.神是萬軍之耶和華。
◎.神的榮光充滿全地。
經文要告訴我們什麼？
神最重要的屬性是聖潔，神不能容忍罪惡。
因此，以賽亞接著說：
禍哉！我滅亡了！
因為人在神面前看見自己的污穢。
2.真正敬拜是尊崇神
天使不是求恩典，而是不斷讚美神。
真正敬拜，
是把焦點放在神，而不是自己。
即使王去世，
神仍然坐在寶座。
今天世界雖有戰爭、災難與動盪，神仍然掌權。
三、今天如何實踐？
1.學習敬畏神。
在敬拜中尊榮神，遠離罪惡。
●.相信神仍掌權。
不要只看環境，要仰望坐在寶座上的主。
●.活出聖潔生命。
讓生活榮耀神，在家庭、職場和教會中作見證。
●.回應神的呼召。
當人看見神的聖潔，也更願意像以賽亞一樣說：我在這裡，請差遣我。
2.相信神仍然掌權
人生會遇到疾病、會遇到挫折、會遇到經濟壓力、會遇到家庭問題，
甚至教會也會經歷困難。
但以賽亞看見，不是空蕩蕩的王位，而是神仍然坐在寶座上。
今天，我們也不要只看環境，而要仰望掌管萬有的主。
人的能力有限，但神永遠掌權，祂的計畫永不失敗。
（詩篇46：1）神是我們的避難所，
是我們的力量，是我們在患難中隨時的幫助。
3.活出聖潔的生命
神是聖潔的，因此祂也呼召屬祂的人活出聖潔。
聖潔並不是與世隔絕，而是在每天的言語、行為、思想和品格上，活出基督的樣式。
神所看重的，不是我們能力有多大，
而是我們是否願意回應祂的呼召，把自己交在祂手中，成為祂所使用的器皿。
當以賽亞看見神的榮耀，又經歷神的赦免之後，他立刻回應神說：
（以賽亞書6：8）我在這裡，請差遣我！
結論：
(以賽亞書6：3)提醒我們：
1.神是至聖至榮的神。
2.神永遠掌管萬有。
3.神的榮耀充滿全地。
真正看見神的人，生命必被更新，並願意回應祂的呼召。
願我們每一次敬拜，
都能像天上的撒拉弗一樣，同心宣告：
聖哉！聖哉！聖哉！萬軍之耶和華；祂的榮光充滿全地！
四、 感恩與代禱
1.為社區據點長者課程感恩與代禱
感謝主，7月10日社區據點舉辦「延緩失能」健康課程，透過手腳協調運動、肢體活動及腦力激盪等訓練，幫助長者促進身體健康、增進反應能力，預防失能。
求主保守每位長者都有健康的身心，也賜福每位老師與同工有智慧與愛心，使課程成為長者身心靈的祝福。
2.為颱風平安感恩
感謝主保守，巴威颱風對南部地區的影響較為輕微，農作物受損不大，也保守居民生命財產平安。
求主繼續看顧台灣各地，保守農民的辛勞，使天候合宜、五穀豐收，也安慰並幫助仍受天災影響的地區，早日恢復正常生活。
Daily Devotion at Dongshan Church, Tainan, July 11, 2026
Season 1 (January to March)
Theme: Knowing God
You should come to know the Lord and strive to know Him. (Hosea 6:3)
Daily spiritual content:
Date: July 11
Title: God is a Holy God
Scripture: (Isaiah 6:3) They cried out to one another, saying: Holy! Holy! Holy! The Lord of hosts; His glory fills the earth!
One, Biblical Background
1. Isaiah 6 records the experience of the prophet Isaiah's calling.
At the time when King Uzziah of Judah died (around 740 BCE),
The country appears prosperous on the surface, but in reality, its spiritual condition is deteriorating.
The people distance themselves from God, and society is filled with pride, injustice, and idolatry.
Just as politics was filled with instability and people were anxious,
Isaiah saw God sitting on a high throne in the temple, with angels (Saraphas) standing before Him, worshipping and proclaiming loudly:
Holy! Holy! Holy! The Lord of hosts; His glory fills the earth!
This is not human praise,
It is heavenly worship that truly enables Isaiah to understand the nature of God.
2. This verse contains three important pieces of information.
①God is a completely holy God
This phrase is repeated three times in a row, representing the highest level of Hebrew expression.
Meaning:
◎ God is without sin.
◎ God is completely just.
◎ God is distinct from all evil in the world.
God is not relatively holy, but absolutely holy.
②God is the sovereign ruler of all armies.
The Lord of Hosts says:
1)Angels in the Sky
2)The Nations on Earth
3)All things in the universe
4)All under divine authority.
The king of humans may pass away, but God forever reigns.
③The glory of God fills the earth
The glory of God extends beyond the temple.
The entire world embodies God:
Nature
Human life
Historical development
Church Witness
One can see the glory of God.
What does the text see in Isaiah 6:3?
1. The seraphim cried out to one another in worship of God.
Shout "Holy" three times.
◎ God is the Lord of hosts.
◎ The glory of God fills the earth.
What does the scripture tell us?
The most important attribute of God is holiness, and God cannot tolerate sin.
Therefore, Isaiah went on to say:
Woe to you! I am doomed!
Because people see their own impurity before God.
True worship is honoring God.
Angels do not seek grace but continually praise God.
True worship,
It's about focusing on God rather than oneself.
Even after Wang's death,
God still sits on the throne.
Today, despite wars, disasters, and upheavals in the world, God still holds power.
Three, How can we put it into practice today?
1. Learn to reverence God.
Honor God in worship and stay away from sin.
● Believe that God still holds power.
Do not just look at the environment; look up to the Lord sitting on the throne.
● Live a holy life.
Let life honor God by testifying in family, workplace, and church.
● Responding to God's call.
When people see God's holiness, they prefer to say, "I am here; send me."
2. Believing that God still holds power
Life will encounter diseases, setbacks, economic pressures, and family issues.
Even the church can face difficulties.
But Isaiah saw that it was not an empty throne, but that God was still sitting on it.
Today, we should look up to the Lord who governs all things, not just at the environment.
Human abilities are limited, but God always reigns, and His plans never fail.
(Psalm 46:1) God is our refuge,
It is our strength, our constant help in times of hardship.
3. Live a holy life
God is holy, so He also calls those who belong to Him to live holy lives.
Holiness is not about being isolated from the world, but about living out Christ's likeness in every word, deed, thought, and character.
What matters to God is not how powerful we are,
Rather, are we willing to respond to His call, entrust ourselves to Him, and become vessels He uses?
When Isaiah saw the glory of God and experienced His forgiveness, he immediately responded to God:
(Isaiah 6:8) Here I am; send me!
Conclusion:
Remind us:
1. God is the most holy and glorious God.
2. God forever reigns over all things.
3. The glory of God fills the earth.
Those who truly see God will have their lives renewed and be willing to respond to His call.
May every time we worship,
All can proclaim with one heart, like the seraphim in heaven:
Holy! Holy! Holy! The Lord of hosts; His glory fills the earth!
Four, Gratitude and Prayer
1. Gratitude and Prayer for Elderly Courses at Community Hubs
Thankfully, on July 10th, the community center hosted a "Delaying Impairment" health course. Through training in hand-foot coordination, physical activity, and brainstorming, we helped seniors promote their physical health, enhance their reaction skills, and prevent disabilities.
Pray that the Lord would keep every elder healthy both physically and mentally, and bless each teacher and staff member with wisdom and love, making the course a blessing for both body and mind.
2. Thank you for the safe typhoon
Thankfully, Typhoon Bawei had a relatively minor impact on the southern region, causing minimal damage to crops and ensuring the safety of residents' lives and property.
Pray that the Lord continues to watch over all parts of Taiwan, protecting farmers' hard work to ensure appropriate weather and bountiful grain harvests, and also comforting and helping regions still affected by natural disasters to return to normal life as soon as possible
