一顆鉚釘
讀經: 雅各書3章13-18節
金句: 「惟獨從上頭來的智慧，先是清潔，後是和平，溫良柔順，……沒有偏見，沒有假冒。」（雅各書3章17節）
全年讀經: 耶利米書18-19章；提摩太後書3章

科學家研究後確認，讓號稱「永不沉沒」的「鐵達尼號」快速沉沒的原因是鉚釘有瑕疵。研究者最近從殘骸中發現，「鐵達尼號」的鉚釘參雜了鍛鐵，而非純鋼鑄成，因此讓船殼像拉鍊般裂開。「鐵達尼號」證明了，把錢花在奢華設備和廣告宣傳上，卻忽略了「基本」的零件，是愚蠢之舉。
從某種程度說，教會就像船隻，會友就像鉚釘。雖然鉚釘看似不起眼，但要讓船隻組合嚴緊並能浮在水面上，鉚釘卻至關重要。
在這世代，越來越多的人覺得自己不受重視，甚至基督徒也有同感。也有人不惜傷害他人來使自己感到受重視。雅各說：「在何處有嫉妒紛爭，就在何處有擾亂和各樣的壞事」（3章16節）。人們因追求美貌、財富和權力等世俗的私慾而敗壞，也讓教會受損傷。但是清潔的、沒有玷污的虔誠（1章27節）能使教會得以保全。
身為上帝教會的一員，我們必須要成為無瑕疵的「鉚釘」。只要我們清潔（雅各書3章17節）、剛強（以弗所書6章10節）、堅定（哥林多前書15章58節），我們就能被主使用，在危急時刻仍能讓船身安穩在水面上。JAL
你以智慧指定工作，懇求助我欣然努力；一切工作有主同在，察驗你可喜悅旨意。Wesley
在小事上忠心至關重要。

Only A Rivet

The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, . . . without partiality and without hypocrisy. —James 3:17
-->About this cover

Scientists have determined that faulty rivets may have caused the rapid sinking of the "unsinkable" HMS Titanic. According to researchers who recently examined parts recovered from the wreck, impure rivets made of wrought iron rather than steel caused the ship’s hull to open like a zipper. The Titanic proves the foolishness of spending resources on fancy equipment and public promotion while neglecting the "ordinary" parts.
In a sense, churches are like ships, and many of their people are like rivets. Although rivets seem insignificant, they are essential for holding the ship together and keeping it afloat.
Feelings of insignificance are rampant these days, even among Christians, and some do hurtful things to make themselves feel important. James says, "Where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there" (3:16). People corrupted by worldly desires for beauty, wealth, and power can bring down great churches, but people who are pure and undefiled (1:27) hold churches together.
As members of God’s church, we need to be "rivets" without defect. When we are pure (James 3:17), strong (Eph. 6:10), and steadfast (1 Cor. 15:58), we will be used by the Lord to keep His ship afloat in times of crisis. —Julie Ackerman Link—Julie Ackerman Link-->
The task Thy wisdom hath assigned,O let me cheerfully fulfill;In all my works Thy presence find,And prove Thy good and perfect will. —Wesley
It is a great thing to be faithful in little things.

研究「安全飲食量」 勢惹業界反對
21名專家來自世界各地，用5年時間完成關於節食、營養及公共健康的報告，重新討論紅肉如牛、羊肉和酒精飲品與患癌的關係，並會研究「安全食或飲量」，相信會引來畜牧業及酒精業的強烈反響。
其中一名負責研究的專家指出，酒精、紅肉及過重皆會增加患癌風險，「現時已有很多證據證明進食紅肉會致癌，大量研究亦已證明飲酒會增加患乳癌及其他癌症的風險」。同樣有參與研究的公開大學教授David Shuker指出，紅肉會增加患腸癌的風險，「紅肉像吸煙般，增加患癌風險」。
牛排只宜三分一塊 酒只宜一兩杯
但進食多少紅肉、飲多少酒才會危害健康？研究報告指出，每天進食100克紅肉也增加患癌風險，世界癌症研究基金將於本周確認每天應只吃80克紅肉，即2.8安士，約三分一塊牛扒，以求健康。而食品標準局（The Food Standards Agency）則沒有指明「安全食量」，但發言人建議市民只宜適量進食肉類，並選擇吃較瘦的肉。
報告又建議，男士每天不應喝多於兩杯酒精，女士每天則不要多於一杯。另外，報告亦會就體型、運動量、蔬果、肉類、酒精、準備及處理食物等提出10項建議，教導市民如何避免患上癌症。
