該做的事
讀經: 雅各書1章19-27節
金句: 「只是你們要行道，不要單單聽道。」(雅各書1章22節）
全年讀經: 詩篇37-39篇；使徒行傳26章

梅根在小學三年級時，冬天從學校回家，總是沒戴手套。媽媽很生氣，家裡明明沒什麼錢，卻還要一直給她買新手套。有一天，媽媽非常生氣地對梅根說：「妳不能再這樣了，這麼大的人，要學會負責任！」
聽了這話，梅根哭了。她邊哭邊告訴媽媽，要是不給她買新手套，她就沒辦法把自己的手套，送給那些根本沒手套的小孩。
現在梅根18歲了，她喜歡在社區裡當義工，並輔導窮人家的小孩。談到自己的樂於助人，梅根說：「那沒什麼，本來就是我該做的事。」
身為基督徒，我們也該有一顆願意付出的心。雅各告訴我們，不但要聽道，還要行道（1章22-23節）。而且雅各不只告訴我們要去做，連同怎麼做，他都說得一清二楚。比如第27節就講到當做的事：「看顧在患難中的孤兒寡婦。」
求上帝也給我們梅根那樣的心。以愛上帝為出發點，去遵行他的旨意，這本是我們該做的事。AMC
既蒙主供應當白白施予，當愛人像主愛你；對軟弱無助者盡力幫扶，要忠於主的託付。Wilson
無愛可以付出，有愛必有付出。

Megan’s Heart
ODB RADIO: Listen Now DownloadREAD: James 1:19-27
Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only. —James 1:22
-->About this cover

When Megan was in third grade, she kept coming home from school without her winter gloves. It drove her mom crazy because she had to keep buying new ones, which the family couldn’t afford. One day Mom got angry and said, “Megan, you’ve got to be more responsible. This can’t go on!”
Megan began to cry. Through her tears she told her mom that as long as she kept getting new gloves, she could give hers away to kids who didn’t have any.
Now at age 18, Megan’s hobbies include volunteering in the community and mentoring inner-city kids. Referring to her desire to help people, she said that it “felt like that was the kind of thing I was supposed to be doing.”
As Christians, we too are to have a heart of giving. James tells us to listen to the Word and do what it says (1:22-23). But he doesn’t stop with just telling us to obey. He gives us specific instructions about what we must do. Then he gives us a practical way we can give of ourselves: “Visit orphans and widows in their trouble” (v.27).
Ask God for a heart like Megan’s. Out of love for God, obey what He tells you to do. It’s what we’re “supposed to be doing.” —Anne Cetas—Anne Cetas-->
Give as ’twas given to you in your need,Love as the Master loved you;Be to the helpless a helper indeed,Unto your mission be true. —Wilson© Renewal 1952 The Rodeheaver Co.
You can give without loving, but you can’t love without giving.

"我所作的,你如今不知道,後來必明白" -- (約十三章七節) 我們現在所看見的神的作為,只是局部的 -- 一個半完成,半發展的計劃;到永生的殿完成的時候,全部工程就要清清楚楚地顯露出來! 讓我們上利巴嫩山頂去看.在那裡有高大的香柏樹,他是同輩的光榮,狂風的對手!夏喜歡對著他微笑;夜喜歡用露珠鍥蝕他的葉子;飛鳥喜歡巢居在他的枝杆上;疲倦的旅客,流浪的牧童都喜歡在他陰下憩息--躲避日中的炎熱,狂暴的風雨;雖然這樣,有一天,它卻被砍倒了;多年在林中享有權利的香樹,竟死在樵夫手下! 當釜子砍想去的時候,樹枝都從樹身上脫下來了,那株高大的香柏樹,嘩啦一聲,倒地上了.那時候,我們禁不住和先知一般喊叫說:"松樹阿,應當哀號.因為香柏樹傾倒."(亞十一章二節) 但是等一等. 讓我們跟著希蘭的工人將那株大樹運下山來:從那裡沿著藍色的地中海漂去;看啊,這株香柏樹最後竟成了神殿中的棟樑--一根榮耀光澤的棟樑. 當你看見了它的結局--被安置在聖殿的至聖所裡, 萬王之王的宮殿裡--你會不會可惜利巴嫩的香柏樹被砍倒了呢﹖ “這殿後來的榮耀﹐必大過前輩的榮耀.”(該二章九節) 多少時候﹐我們正象香柏樹! 神的斧子將我們剝削得一無所有. 我們看不出有什麼理由叫我們遇見這樣黑黯神秘的對付﹐但是神自有他的目的在﹕神預備永遠用我們來作天上的棟樑﹐屋椽﹔要叫我們“在耶和華的手中作為華冠﹐在神的掌上必作為冕旒.( 賽六十二章三節) -- 馬克特夫

Learn about Cancer

Useful Information on one of the deadliest diseases of our time:

CANCER

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means that the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong, the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates that the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and lifestyle will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and could cause organ damages, to the liver, kidneys, the heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However, prolonged using of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation, the immune system is either compromised or destroyed. Hence, the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the food it needs to multiply.

CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar, it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be honey or molasses, but only in very small amount. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is sea salt.

Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya milk, cancer cells are being starved.

Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to cancer patients.

A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains, seeds and nuts help creating an alkaline environment in the body. The remaining 20% of diet could be cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable or fruit juice provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high content of caffeine. Green Tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water - best to drink purified or filtered water, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Avoid distilled water which is acidic.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat, it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the Cancer cells.

14. Improved immune system enables the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Natural Vitamin E is known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior to become a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
