The need to settle down and find schools for my daughters coupled with the COVID 19 outbreak in Europe is giving us anxieties. Feeling helpless and troubled, we turned to the Lord in prayer and every time miracles happen ~ Bro. Alex (to be continued)

Gospel Reveals The Truth About Salvation – God Has Readied The Way & The Savior:
1. If there is a vaccine and we take it without telling others, how can we answer to the world?
2. Quickly spread God’s good news, get the people to ‘take the injection’! Don’t let them be wrongly influenced by false teachers to take the fake vaccine (jumping the queue)!

Who is the true leader?
1. Peter was a servant who characterized his time. Self-disciplined, not interested in power play, avoided being the focus of attention, his was a God-centred ministry, (v1-4)

* And he brought me to the temple and measured…and he went inward, and measured the length thereof, twenty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits… and he said unto me, This is the most holy place. (Ezekiel 41:1-4)

Ezekiel 40-42: The prophet, through describing the dimensions of the temple from up down and from outside in, signified how our worship reaches toward the more and most holy as we go more and more inward.

Look unto God in 3 aspects:
1. God�s words are trustworthy (v.1-4) � so we should live holy & righteously (v.11-14)
2. God�s works never fail (v.5-7) � so saints should be diligent in share His gospel (v.15-16)
3. God�s wills & mercy last forever (v.5-7) � be increased in grace & in the knowledge of our Lord (v.17-18)

Where are we — a dangerous world. O Lord, save us!
1. Heresies flourishing � Guard against those greedy and defiled �religious people�!?v.1�22?
2. Humanity twisted � our righteous souls paining for others??v.5�9?

It is not slowness but wishing people to repent:
1. The Lord will come soon as he promised (v1-8) — Heaven & earth can fade but God’s words will realize!
2. He hasn’t come as people haven’t repented yet (v9-12) — The righteousness of God hastens His coming , but His love suspends His coming!
3. Looking for His coming according to grace & wisdom (v.13-18) — distinguish true and false by His word, experience Him by daily living.

To examine its legitimacy — pay attention to false teachers– 5 flaws for you to test:
1. Denying our Savior (v.1) — Do they have correct interpretation of the Bible and the salvation?
2. Self-willed (v.10) — How about their attitude? Well balanced and humble?
3. Despising Authority (v10) — Do they treat others reasonably?
4. Indulge in sinful desires (v10) — Are they holy and blameless?
5. Money-lovers (v.15) — a so called “world class apostle” claiming that he had to buy a plane — for he is too busy! (Do you believe him?)

The world of sin — learn from history:
1. The judgment of flood (v.5) — heterodoxies and fake Christianity are everywhere. We should pay attention to the advice and prophecies in the Bible.
2. The judgment of fire (v.6) — morality is losing its status and corrupt and sinful desire is regarded as normal.
Do remember that the judgment of God is coming soon. Be fear for Him!
