生长素
读经: 提摩太后书3章10-17节
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
金句: 「圣经都是上帝所默示的。」（提摩太后书3章16节）
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
全年读经: 玛拉基书1-4章；启示录22章
以下的引言哪一个出自圣经？
1.洁净的重要性仅次于敬虔。
2.天助自助者。
3.认罪对灵魂有益。
4.人生在世必遇患难，如同火星飞腾。
5.钱财是万恶之根。
6.诚实是上策。
信不信由你，这六句话中只有第四句是出自圣经，它引自约伯记5章7节。
慕勒（George Müler）是19世纪的一位牧师和孤儿院院长，他恐怕不难知道哪句引言出自圣经。为什么呢？因为他通读圣经有100多遍！他曾说：「若我哪天没有好好研读上帝的话语，那天就觉得很失落……我为自己订了一个规矩，每天开始工作之前，必须先亲近上帝和他的话语。而我所领受的祝福，也十分美妙。」
如果我们没有像慕勒那样读过那么多遍圣经，也不必觉得愧咎，但我们可以考虑一下，来年能至少把圣经读一遍。当然这样做并不是为了要回答一些圣经难题，乃是因为圣经是上帝赐给我们的，是帮助我们灵命成熟的生长素（提摩太后书3章16-17节）。AMC
上帝话语如时雨，
滋润作物及种子；
主话撒播新生命，
并且满足我需要。Sper
研读圣经给人智慧,相信圣经使人安稳,遵行圣经让人圣洁。

Profitable For Growth
READ: 2 Timothy 3:10-17
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God. —2 Timothy 3:16
Which of the following quotes are in the Bible?
1. Cleanliness is next to godliness.
2. God helps those who help themselves.
3. Confession is good for the soul.
4. Man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
5. Money is the root of all evil.
6. Honesty is the best policy.
Believe it or not, only one of those quotes is found in the Bible. The fourth one is from Job 5:7.
George Müller, a pastor and orphanage director in the 1800s, wouldn’t have had trouble knowing which of those quotes were from the Bible. Why? Because he read through it more than 100 times! He said: “I look upon it as a lost day when I have not had a good time over the Word of God. . . . I have always made it a rule never to begin work until I have had a good season with God and His Word. The blessing I have received has been wonderful.”
We don’t need to feel guilty if we don’t read the Bible as much as Müller did. But consider with me reading it through at least once this coming year—not so that we can answer some trick questions about it, but because it was given to us by God and is profitable for our spiritual growth (2 Tim. 3:16-17).

God’s Word is like refreshing rain
That waters crops and seed;
It brings new life to open hearts,
And meets us in our need. —Sper
Read the Bible to be wise, believe it to be safe, practice it to be holy.
