如何帶領「查經班」?
阿摩司書8章11節「主耶和華說:日子將到,我必命饑荒降在地上。人飢餓非因無餅,乾渴非因無水,乃因不聽耶和華的話。」,教會事工活動多,弟兄姐妹忙到沒有時間讀經,「查經班」成了少數教會的一種奇象,如何恢復這個「失落的寶藏—查經班」?為什麼教會不推動「查經班」呢?有幾個原因,當然1.教會活動多,排不出時間,這是一個問題,2.弟兄姐妹對聖經不渴慕,當然這強求不來的,是要鼓勵,3.傳道人不知道要如何帶查經?要如何作呢?跟大家分享,我的帶查經的經驗,也希望大家一起來推動查經,千萬不要用神學院「寫報告作歸納」的帶領方式,一次把二三十本參考書,丟在書上,叫他們用寫報告的方式來查經,如果用這種方式開班,可能會嚇死「會友」,從此不敢來查經班,因為弟兄姐妹平常幾乎不可能回去看書的,現代人很忙,你也不要不期望回去,有人會作功課,弟兄姐妹願意來查經就算是不錯了,我們用的是「歸納法研經」,所謂歸納法有很多,有經文歸納、專題歸納、歷史歸納、人物歸納、字義歸納,我們要開始研經,最好是從「經文歸納」開始,這是在打地基,以後再作其他的歸納,所以我分享的也是「經文逐章歸納法」。
一.查經時間不可太長,大約一個半小時左右。
二.查經主要以「聖經」為主,千萬不要拿太多「工貝書」來嚇人,以現在台灣人的教育水平,聖經的中文字讀不懂的人,應該是沒有,多讀幾次應該大部份人都會懂經文的意思,如果不懂的,也可以彼此討論。
三.帶查經的人,應該事先預備,原則上每次以一章,來作歸納分享,是比較好的方法,1.用經文歸納法:把本章大綱分段,最好是三點,最多不要超過五大點,因為這是要便於自己記憶,和推論整體思想脈絡的連貫性邏輯性判斷,2.用重點歸納法:可以從本章,找到本章有趣的轉折感想,對經文感動的地方,3.歸納應用法:找到經文原則,應用在今日生活中。
四.要開始帶查經,千萬不要像「Good TV」的講員用講道講解的方式帶查經,這種方式只會讓來查經的學員,缺少獨立思考研究經文的態度,學員會像個傻瓜。所以帶查經的人,是在最後,才分享他自己的看法,把大家的心得作總結。
五.經文歸納法:在開始時,首先要讓來的每一個人學員,先用自己的方式想法,表達說出本章在說什麼?無論他講得好不好,千萬不要反駁,帶領者要鼓勵學員們自己作經文的歸納與分享。
六.在大家都分享整章分段法,與心得感想之後,帶領查經者,才分享他自己的分段,與心得應用,切記!帶領者在作心得應用時,一定要要求學員記錄這個「心得應用」,當然至少要有三點以上,也不要太多點,記太多,也會忘很多。
七.我把我帶馬太福音查經資料放上,你可以下載使用,步驟一:是先大家用30分鐘,在現場每個人先個別研讀聖經,步驟二:用20分鐘請大家分享經文分段與心得,步驟三:發查經分段的資料,與本章的主題,帶查經的人,用20分鐘把整章,用最簡單方式講一篇分享,切記!心得與應用,不可發給學員,步驟四:用20分鐘,要求學員把心得與應用,寫下來。

"God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world."(Gal. 6:14)
THEY were living to themselves; self with its hopes, and promises and dreams, still had hold of them; but the Lord began to fulfill their prayers. They had asked for contrition, and had surrendered for it to be given them at any cost, and He sent them sorrow; they had asked for purity, and He sent them thrilling anguish; they had asked to be meek, and He had broken their hearts; they had asked to be dead to the world, and He slew all their living hopes; they had asked to be made like unto Him, and He placed them in the furnace, sitting by "as a refiner and purifier of silver," until they should reflect His image; they had asked to lay hold of His cross, and when He had reached it to them it lacerated their hands.
They had asked they knew not what, nor how, but He had taken them at their word, and granted them all their petitions. They were hardly willing to follow Him so far, or to draw so night to Him. They had upon them an awe and fear, as Jacob at Bethel, or Eliphaz in the night visions, or as the apostles when they thought that they had seen a spirit, and knew not that it was Jesus. They could almost pray Him to depart from them, or to hide His awfulness. They found it easier to obey than to suffer, to do than to give up, to bear the cross than to hang upon it. But they cannot to back, for they have come too near the unseen cross, and its virtues have pierced too deeply within them. He is fulfilling to them His promise, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me" (John 12:32).
But now at last their turn has come. Before, they had only heard of the mystery, but now they feel it. He has fastened on them His look of love, as He did on Mary and Peter, and they can but choose to follow.
Little by little, from time to time, by fitting gleams, the mystery of His cross shines out upon them. They behold Him lifted up, they gaze on the glory which rays from the wounds of His holy passion; and as they gaze they advance, and are changed into His likeness, and His name shines out throught them, for He dwells in them. They live alone with Him above, in unspeakable fellowship; willing to lack what others own (and what they might have had), and to be unlike all, so that they are only like Him.
Such, are they in all ages, "who follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth."
Had they chosen for themselves, or their friends chosen for them, they would have chosen otherwise. They would have been brighter here, but less glorious in His Kingdom. They would have had Lot's portion, not Abraham's. If they had halted anywhere-if God had taken off His hand and let them stray back-what would they not have lost? What forfeits in the resurrection?
But He stayed them up, even against themselves. Many a time their foot had well night slipped; but He in mercy held them up. Now, even in this life, they know that all He did was done well. It was good to suffer here, that they might reign hereafter; to bear the cross below, for they shall wear the crown above; and that not their will but His was done on them and in them.

基督曾說過:「我心柔和謙卑,你們當學我的樣式,這樣你們心裏就必得享安息。」這兒有雙重的真理,有忍耐、溫柔、謙卑和與神和好的美德,這與傚法基督或信靠祂有相同的意義;同時因著你有這些美德,可以完全脫離亞當墮落的本性而有信靠主高尚的行為。
連帶而有的福份,是因著脫離罪惡和對基督初步信仰、期望,受基督忍耐、溫柔、謙卑和與神和好的靈引導並管理;當你具有這些德性,你的生命就有目的,是真理和生命的基督才會在你裏面,你不再掌權,而是基督在你裏面活著。除非你願在忍耐、溫柔、謙卑和與神和好裏治死老我,否則神聖愛的靈,因無立足之地而不能在你裏面產生;而當你又為不忍耐、驕傲所困擾之際,馬上完全捨己,求神施恩幫助。當你遇到難處就促使與神親近,最能使你忍耐接受神的幫助,我們對神有多少信心和期望就可得多少的啟示。
「這些雖然很簡短,但是真正確的教義,使我們因賜下的救恩而真正完全順服神的啟示下,也真正宣告承認三而一的真神。」現在願你有個思想:完全將我的心靈獻上,單單尋求救恩,直接藉著溫柔、謙卑、忍耐和與神和好的力量,使我的生命有屬天的德性。
「並且要作這更大的事,因為我往父那裡去。」約翰福音十四章12節
祈禱不是叫我們適於那偉大的工作;祈禱本身就是偉大的工作。我們以為祈禱,是叫我們得到較高的能力,去應付神的工作。但按照耶穌基督的眼光看,祈禱是我本已救贖的奇蹟,藉著神的能力,同時也是別人救贖的奇蹟。結果子之方法,是祈禱,但須記取的,這種祈禱是建立在救贖的痛苦,不是建立於我的痛苦。一個小孩能獲得祈禱的答覆,一個聰明人反而得不著。
你無論在那裡祈禱總是一種戰爭。不管神製造環境的方法怎樣,本分就是祈禱。切不可如此作想──「我所在的地方,不見得有用;」因為你不在的地方,你必沒有有用。無論神安排你在那裡,祈禱,常常向祂祈禱。「你們若奉我的名求甚麼,我必成就。」(約十四13)我們不肯祈禱,我們得不著奮興,就不肯祈禱,那就是靈性自私的極度形態。我們要依照神的指導而勞動,但祂指導我們的是祈禱,「所以你們當求莊稼的主,打發工人出去,收祂的莊稼。
通常的工人對於工作,是沒有興奮的,但是成功通常是工作勞作出來的;同樣基督的概念,沒有那些勞苦的聖徒是不會發現的。你慇勤祈禱,從神的立場看,是無時不發生效果的。當帕子揭開,一種說不出的驚奇必然發現,你可以看出你是慣於接受耶穌基督的命令的,已經為祂收穫了不少的靈魂。
「……亞伯拉罕信神……」羅馬書四章3節
亞伯拉罕的信心是向著神本身的,他認識帶領他的神,所以他對神有絕對的信心。
亞伯拉罕一生的秘訣在於他與神的友誼。他所認識的神是一位偉大、良善、信實的朋友。無怪乎他能聽神的話,從他自身所愛的本家本族出來,走向一條未知的道路。
除了信靠神的話語,我們是否已學會把自己全然交給神呢?神有無限的愛及力量,祂是與我們立約的主並永遠的好朋友。
經上告訴我們,亞伯拉罕因著信心而榮耀了神。最能榮耀神的辦法,乃是讓世人看見神是誰,以及祂的大能力。神並不希望藉著我們所能做的事,讓世人知道祂能做什麼;神也不用那些有乖謬性格的器皿。相反的,祂一直在找尋那些謙卑的人,並用這些人在世世代代中榮耀祂。
