"Forget-me-not" is the little blue flower in the picture! It really has tenacious vitality! The neighbor said: That's weed! Have you ever thought: The world is so difficult, why do we still work hard to live? Just like grass, although it is useless, grass still has value! If there is no grass in the garden, the garden will lose a kind of "vitality"! "Grass" cannot be as dazzling as "flowers", but grass definitely has the value of existence!
Today my neighbor helped me changed a light bulb. I was supposed to give him a "tip", but I made two dishes for them! I often think about: Why has our society become one that recognizes money but not people? Why is there only "money" between parents and children? Why do friends only have "money"? Why is “money” the standard for measuring value in everything? Because we put "value" on everything! Many churches feel that without “money” the church cannot function! Many pastors feel that they cannot live without “money”! "Money, money, money" has become the core value of our lives! (Luke 16:9) And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habits.～Is there ever a time when "unrighteous money" is useless? "Money" will be useless in two places: 1. "The place of wars" 2. "The place after death" (No matter heaven or hell, money is useless)! Don’t think that having money can make the devil grind the mill. Money can make the devil in the world grind the mill, but you can’t let the devil in hell grind the mill! In hell, it’s useless no matter how much money you have! "The value of money" is a lie that fools believe! Because we have never experienced "wars", that's why "money comes first"! We are not dead yet, so we put "money first in our life"! Only after we experienced the "wars" did we realize that the "US dollar" is just waste paper! When we are on the verge of death, we realize the stupidity of our lifelong pursuit of money!
Remember Jesus said to Peter: I want you to fish people as fishes! What does it mean? "Fish" is food! Jesus never told Peter: I want you to win people as riches! "Food" and "wealth" are completely different! Having "food" does not necessarily mean "wealth"! I found that the first thing every pastor in the modern church does when he comes to work is to make money! The first lesson the church needs to teach: Give away your wealth! Pastors often say: He who works gets his wages! Why does "wage" have to be "money"? Aren’t God’s blessings “wages”? Isn’t our physical health “wage”? Why do so many pastors have so many different ailments? Because they receive enough money as their “wage”, then God no longer needs to give them “peace, joy, and health” as their “wage”! Everyone does a job and gets paid! You earned "human wages", and you want to receive "God's wages"! God is not an idiot either! God never shows favoritism! They receive too much "human wages", so they don't have "peace, joy and health" from God. Don't blame God! Don’t be disappointed in God’s power! God is always very fair! There is no need to see the miserable lives of many pastors and the discord in their families and say: God has no power! God will decide who He will give His grace to!
Many people feel that evil people are in power! God and truth are dead! God will not die! The truth will not disappear! Even if all mankind does not believe in God, God will still live well! Without God to protect us, who suffers? If we don’t practice the truth, who suffers? Without God’s blessing, who suffers? All sons of this world know how to make friends with unjust money. Why do we, who claim to be sons of light, just be a group of "misers"! Christians are really like "misers"! If the pastor of your church today only cares about “money”, leave the church! Where does the church need “money”? Just reduce the use of "money" to the minimum, and I believe our church can operate better! The church must be built “on people’s hearts.” Think about it: How much does it cost to build a church “on people’s hearts”? We need to change our thinking! "Money" is for "spending"! The Lord Jesus wants us to take 2,000 taels and spent it for more business with 2,000 taels! The Lord Jesus did not ask us to save 2,000 taels! Don’t spend money casually! When our "spiritual values" are opened, we will know how to not be "controlled by money"! God's blessing will make us live like "forget-me-nots", like flowers and grass, although useless, but with tenacious vitality! Although the "flower" is dazzling, the real "flowering period" is short-lived! "Wealth" always gives people "short-term pleasure"! "Wealth' never brings life!
「勿忘我」就是圖中的藍色小花！真的有頑強的生命力！鄰居說：那就是雜草！有沒有想過：這世界那麼難，為什麼我們還要努力生活？就像小草一樣，雖然一無所用，但小草還是有存在的價值！如果、花園中沒有草，花園就失去一種「活力」！「小草」不能像「花」一樣耀眼奪目，但小草絕對有存在的價值！
今天鄰居幫我換燈泡，本來應該給他「小費」，但我弄了兩樣菜給他們！我常常在思考：為什麼我們的社會變成認錢不認人呢？為什麼父母子女之間只有「錢」？為什麼朋友之間只有「錢」？為什麼什麼事都是以「錢」為衡量價值的標準？因為我們把任何東西放上「價值」！很多教堂覺得沒有「錢」，教堂就不能運作！很多牧師覺得沒有「錢」，他們就不能生活！「錢」已經變成我們人生的核心價值！(路加福音 16:9) 我又告訴你們，要藉著那不義的錢財結交朋友，到了錢財無用的時候，他們可以接你們到永存的帳幕裡去。(Luke 16:9) And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.～「不義的錢財」會有無用的時候嗎？「錢財」在兩個地方會沒有用：1.「戰爭的地方」2.「人死後的地方」（不論天堂或地獄、錢財都沒用）！不要認為有錢能使鬼推磨，有錢能讓人間的魔鬼推磨，但不能讓地獄的魔鬼推磨！在地獄、你再多錢也沒用！「錢財的價值」都是傻瓜相信的謊言！因為我們沒有經歷過「戰爭」，所以才會「金錢至上」！我們也還沒死、所以才把「金錢放在生命第一位」！等我們經歷「戰爭」，才知道「美元」就是廢紙！等我們瀕臨死亡、才看到自己傻一生「追求金錢」的愚蠢！
記得耶穌對彼得說：我要你得人如得魚！這是什麼意思？「魚」是食物！耶穌從來沒有告訴彼得：我要你得人如得財富！「食物」和「財富」完全不一樣！有「食物」、未必有「財富」！我發現現代的教會每個牧者出來工作的第一件事：斂財！教會第一要教的課程：奉獻財富！牧者們常常說：做工的得工價！為什麼「工價」必須是「錢」呢？難道上帝的祝福不是「工價」嗎？難道我們的身體健康不是「工價」嗎？為什麼很多牧者有很多不同的病痛？因為你們收足夠的錢財當你們的「工價」，那上帝不需要再將「平安喜樂和健康」給你們當「工價」！每個人做一份工作，領一份工價！你們不能領「人的工價」，又要領「上帝的工價」！上帝也不是白癡！上帝從來不會偏袒人！你們領太多「人的工價」，所以你們沒有「平安喜樂和健康」，千萬不要怪上帝！大家也不要對上帝的能力失望！上帝一向非常公平！不用看到許多牧者們生活淒慘、家庭不和睦，而說：上帝沒有能力！上帝的恩典要給誰，祂自己會決定！
許多人覺得惡人當道！上帝和真理已經死掉！上帝不會死掉！真理也不會消失！全人類不相信上帝，上帝也會活得很好！沒有上帝保護我們是誰吃虧？不行真理、是誰吃虧？沒有上帝的祝福、是誰吃虧？今世之子都知道用不義的錢財結交朋友，為什麼我們號稱是光明之子，就是一群「守財奴」！基督徒真的很像「守財奴」！如果今天你教會的牧師只認「錢」，離開教會吧！教會什麼地方需要用「錢」？就把用「錢」的地方縮小到最少，相信我們的教會可以運作更好！教會要建在「人心之上」，想想：教會建在「人心中」需要花多少錢呢？我們要改變思維！「錢」是用來「花」！主耶穌要我們拿2千兩，去做2千兩的生意！主耶穌沒有要我們存2千兩！花錢不是隨便花！當我們「屬靈的價值觀」開啟，我們就知道怎麼不被「金錢轄制」！上帝的祝福會讓我們活得像「勿忘我」，似花似草、雖然沒用，但有頑強的生命力！「花」雖然光彩奪目，但真正「開花期」都是短暫的！「財富」給人永遠都是「短暫的愉悅」！
