My Lord Is My Shepherd 我主是我的牧者

My Lord Is My Shepherd (In Taiwanese)
我主是我的牧者(台語)
Taiwan Union Christian Church Choir
紐約台灣基督教會聖歌隊獻唱

我主是我的牧者
祂知我所欠用賞賜我諸項有够額我可全心信靠祂
引導我躺在青翠草埔導到安靜的水邊
我主是我的牧者我必跟隨祂腳步
雖然行過死蔭的山谷我也攏不驚災害
因爲主必保護照顧我導我脫離黑暗路
有時煩惱與憂傷包圍心內驚惶真艱苦
祂在我身邊安慰扶持永遠攏無離
我主是我的牧者祂與我相同行
賞賜我有慈悲憐憫賞賜氣力與盼望
主耶和華是我牧者永遠攏無放梀我
我主是我的牧者永遠與我相同行

Your Neighbor 你的鄰人

Pastor Jeremiah Steepek (pictured above) transformed himself into a homeless person and went to the 10,000 member church that he was to be introduced as the head pastor at that morning. He walked around his soon to be church for 30 minutes while it was filling with people for service, only 3 people out of the 7-10,000 people said hello to him. He asked people for change to buy food - NO ONE in the church gave him change. He went into the sanctuary to sit down in the front of the church and was asked by the ushers if he would please sit n the back. He greeted people to be greeted back with stares and dirty looks, with people looking down on him and judging him.

As he sat in the back of the church, he listened to the church announcements and such. When all that was done, the elders went up and were excited to introduce the new pastor of the church to the congregation. "We would like to introduce to you Pastor Jeremiah Steepek." The congregation looked around clapping with joy and anticipation. The homeless man sitting in the back stood up and started walking down the aisle. The clapping stopped with ALL eyes on him. He walked up the altar and took the microphone from the elders (who were in on this) and paused for a moment then he recited,

Then the King will say to those on his right, Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. Then the righteous will answer him, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?
'The King will reply, Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.
於是王要向那右邊的說、你們這蒙我父賜福的、可來承受那創世以來為你們所預備的國。
因為我餓了、你們給我喫．渴了、你們給我喝．我作客旅、你們留我住．我赤身露體、你們給我穿．我病了、你們看顧我．我在監裡、你們來看我。
義人就回答說、主阿、我們甚麼時候見你餓了給你喫、渴了給你喝．甚麼時候見你作客旅留你住、或是赤身露體給你穿．又甚麼時候見你病了、或是在監裡、來看你呢。
王要回答說、我實在告訴你們、這些事你們既作在我這弟兄中一個最小的身上、就是作在我身上了。
王又要向那左邊的說、你們這被咒詛的人、離開我、進入那為魔鬼和他的使者所預備的永火裡去。因為我餓了、你們不給我喫．渴了、你們不給我喝．我作客旅、你們不留我住．我赤身露體、你們不給我穿．我病了、我在監裡、你們不來看顧我。
他們也要回答說、主阿、我們甚麼時候見你餓了、或渴了、或作客旅、或赤身露體、或病了、或在監裡、不伺候你呢。
王要回答說、我實在告訴你們、這些事你們既不作在我這弟兄中一個最小的身上、就是不作在我身上了。這些人要往永刑裡去．那些義人要往永生裡去。(馬厷5:34-46)

After he recited this, he looked towards the congregation and told them all what he had experienced that morning. Many began to cry and many heads were bowed in shame. He then said, "Today I see a gathering of people, not a church of Jesus Christ. The world has enough people, but not enough disciples. When will YOU decide to become disciples?"
He then dismissed service until next week.

Being a Christian is more than something you claim. It's something you live by and share with others.
Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly . . . leave the rest to God. (Share Internet Message 轉載網路資訊)
