1 Corinthians 6:18

Whenever someone asks us if we believe in premarital sex we respond by saying “yes and no.” It’s a confusing answer at first, but it gives us an opportunity to make an important point. God affirms our sexuality as human beings and we ­can’t suddenly become asexual. For this reason, we believe in premarital sexuality. We are quick to follow up, however, by saying that having genital sex before marriage is clearly not in line with God’s principles. 

As New York pastor Rich Villodas defines it, a deeply formed life is a life marked by integration, intersection, intertwining, and interweaving, holding together multiple layers of spiritual formation. This kind of life calls us to be people who cultivate lives with God in prayer, move toward reconciliation, work for justice, have healthy inner lives, and see our bodies and sexuality as gifts to steward.

透過每天二十分鐘的時間，固定閱讀三到五章的經文，在一年內讀完新舊約聖經。除了建立穩定讀經的生活外，也能對聖經的各書卷思路發展有更清楚的概念。

雖然世界似乎越來越黑暗，基督卻已呼召我們成為山上閃耀的城市。當我們把生命分別為聖，從神的話語汲取力量和明日的盼望時，我們的生命就會在黑暗的環境中閃耀。 這個為期四週的靈修札記將帶著我們深入研究神的話語，探討如何在靈魂、心靈、意念和身體這四個方面，過分別為聖的生活。
