今日講員為查修智弟兄, 主題是"有福的永生", 經文是雅各書1:12-18。
1:9 卑微的弟兄升高，就該喜樂；
1:10 富足的降卑，也該如此，因為他必要過去，如同草上的花一樣。
1:11 太陽出來，熱風颳起，草就枯乾，花也凋謝，美容就消沒了；那富足的人，在他所行的事上，也要這樣衰殘。

Myrna McGee, sitting with her husband, Jim, was diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago, about 25 years after she was diagnosed with first colon cancer and then liver cancer
When he learned that his wife had been diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago, Jim McGee said, “OK, Lord, here we go again.”
It was Myrna McGee’s third brush with cancer, and one doctors didn’t think she’d live long enough to have.
About 31 years ago, she was diagnosed with colon cancer. About a year after that, she was diagnosed with liver cancer, and doctors gave her only a year to live, she said.
She went through weekly chemotherapy treatments for three and a half years.
“Finally, I told the doctors, ‘I’m not taking any more,’” she said. “They gave me all the statistics that told me I should already be dead. I prayed about it, and that weekend all the symptoms of cancer that I’d ever had came back on me.
“The next day, the Lord gave me the back of an envelope full of promises that it was OK to come off of it.”
Thirty years later, she’s still here.
Five years ago, she was diagnosed with breast cancer after her doctor told her she was a year and a half late in getting her mammogram. She’d been receiving treatment for a torn rotator cuff, an injury she received falling off a ladder.
At the hospital, technicians positioned her, McGee said, but then one decided to reposition her because of how things were set up for the last person to come through.
“It caught one-quarter more of me, and that’s exactly where it was,” she said. “I see God’s hand in that.”
The size of the cancer, she said, makes her believe it had been there for at least 12 years. Even though she’d received regular mammograms — including the first one done at Stillwater Medical Center, she said — it had never been detected.
She was treated at Cancer Care of Stillwater and said the people there are “kind, friendly, caring and compassionate.”
She and her husband also received help from her church family. Members cooked food for the family, mowed lawns and did whatever they needed to do so he could spend time taking care of her, she said.
Cancer took the lives of Myrna McGee’s mother, father and brother, and her sister is fighting a recurrence of breast cancer. McGee said she has talked some about cancer with her two daughters and son, but they don’t focus on it.
“I find if I focus on cancer, I can become depressed pretty quick,” she said. “I focus on the Lord and in his word. That helps me.
“Through all that, Jim keeps me laughing. We laugh at things that aren’t even funny, but we’re laughing.”
Jim McGee added, “I can’t change circumstances, so there’s no need to fret or worry or get depressed about them. Just keep doing what needs to be done, cooking, cleaning, laundry.”
各位弟兄姐妹和所有参与准备晚会的朋友们：
感谢你们对教会中秋暨迎新晚会的支持！
晚会的积极效果是神的成就！晚会是福音广传的大会，是荣耀神、为神做见证的机会。人有各种筹划，但成就在神。在晚会从筹划准备到结束的全过程中，神的保守和引领无处不在。一切都是出于神，神的感动、带领和话语是我们能力和智慧的源泉！
晚会能够达到预期的目的是与大家的无私奉献分不开的！晚会从筹备至今已近两个月，共有十五组同工参与。大家在时间和精力等各方面都积极地投入，把本次晚会的服事都做得很好。每一位参与服事的同工和福音朋友都有很多闪光点，如果要把所有感人的细节和故事都写出来，那真是一本书都难以全部概括。其原因就在于我们虽然信主的时间地点可能不同，但是目标是一致的，就是要让福音广传！
服事和灵修密不可分。灵修让我们领会到神的带领，以一颗敬畏的心来仰望和服事神。服事是神给我们的恩典，是要为神在世人面前做他荣耀的见证。这里有几段经文与大家共勉：《以赛亚书》10章12-13节：主说：我必罚亚述王自大的心和他高傲眼目的荣耀。因为他说：“我所成就的事，是靠我手的能力和我的智慧。”14章24节：我怎样思想，必照样成就；我怎样定意，必照样成立。26章12节：耶和华啊；你必派定我们得平安，因为我们所作的事，都是你给我们成就的。
衷心的感谢大家的参与！请神保守我们今后更能以合一的心服事神，让教会成为神荣耀的见证，让福音广传！阿们！
