Jl 2:12

With so many responsibilities and distractions vying for our attention, too many of us have built unhealthy cycles of rest. As a result, we burn ourselves out, striving and straining against God's intent for our lives. In this plan, we are called to the intentional work of self-examination, helping us to move toward a purposeful and sustainable life with Jesus.

上帝派遣了一場蝗災來審判以色列，但祂的審判背後是對預言性未來「主的日子」的描述，屆時上帝最終會發聲。每天透過喬爾旅行，聆聽音訊學習並閱讀上帝話語中的精選經文。

是耶穌的愛重新帶我審視自己也是同為罪人的身分，聖經讓我看到自己不配接受到任何自以為義的報償。我背地裡行過的惡，遠遠大過我在眾人面前的善行。而耶穌願意為了這樣我，還作罪人的我，犧牲祂的生命。 是這份愛，讓我確知自己100%的救恩，是這份愛繼續帶領一個不擅長承擔責任，只想幫忙唱唱歌、彈彈吉他的我，踏上了傳道的旅程。 是這份愛，讓我在傳福音、邀請人的過程雖經歷了無數的拒絕和忽視，依然能夠繼續把臉皮磨厚，繼續帶上微笑，想辦法讓人有機會聽福音。 因為每個人都有權利聽到福音，作出決定。耶穌為了『世人』的罪釘十字架，不只我們在意的家人、朋友，也包含了我們私人的仇敵和那些報章雜誌登的那些十惡不赦的罪犯。是這個終極的愛和饒恕，帶領我一路到如今。我也願你有機會認識我說的這位上帝。
