總監督綜覧 – 第三期

編者的話
周健雄牧師

國際五旬節聖潔會第29屆會員大會於本年7月於美國舉行,
最矚目的盛事當然是主理主教及各個部長的大選。一如所料,德亞瑟博士、迦德立牧師順利連任主理主教及差傳部長,意味著國際五旬節聖潔會行之有效的宣教策略將一貫地延續下去。但是次大會尚有許多值得一提的故事,郭志榮牧師及梁靄庭牧師已把他們的所見所聞所感都一一道來,值得大家關注。

伍牧師為華人基督教聯會主講的培靈會,今次連載的是第二講,以「在弱勢中成為強者」為題。究竟這由弱轉強的關鍵何在?想知道的話,請細心追看下去。至於郭牧師講巴別塔故事,也是別出心裁。他旁徵博引,論證巴別塔根本從未動工,而揚言建塔上通天界的人,他們的名字也早已在歷史中被刪掉。究竟他們失敗的原因是甚麼?
請你展卷細讀。

Apart from the election, there are many inspiring episodes of the event worth mentioning. Rev. Eddy Kwok and Rev. Doris Leung have shared with us the highlights from their perspectives.

This issue published Rev. Donavan Ng’s sermon for the second night of the Revival Meeting organized by the Hong Kong Chinese Christian Churches Union, titled “The way of strength – to gain power of the powerless”. What is the key for the weak to get strong? Read for the answer. On the other hand, Rev. Eddy Kwok’s sermon on Babel brought up a very interesting point: that the tower of Babel has never been built! Even the names of those who had the ambition to build the sky-tall tower had vanished in history. Why did they fail? Have a look at the Field Superintendent’s sermon.
