6提后二22 ……同那清心呼求主的人,竭力追求公义、信、爱、和平。
62 Tim. 2:22 …Pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
7太五8 清心的人有福了,因为他们必看见神。
7Matt. 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
8在召会荒凉的时候,只有清心的人能摸着路〔提后二22〕。许多在荒凉之下的人摸不着路,是因他们不清心,无法在性质上断定事情。
8During the desolation of the church, only those with a pure heart can find the way [2 Tim. 2:22]. In the desolation of the church many people cannot find the way, because their heart is impure, and they are unable to discern the nature of things.
9我们摸一个工人的工作,要摸其性质。……性质必须是金的、银的;存心必须要清洁。……一个为主作工的人,他的存心必须是清的,而不是浑的。清乃是单纯;浑就是混杂、不单纯。有人传福音可能如保罗所说,是因着嫉妒(腓一15)。碰着这样的人时,我们或许会觉得他很热心,工作也有些果效;但若是我们去摸他的存心,就会摸着他的心并不清洁(李常受文集一九五六年第二册,三九二页)。
9In touching someone’s work, we must discern its nature…Our nature must be gold and silver, and our motive must be pure…One who works for the Lord must have a clear motive, not a cloudy one. A clear motive is pure; a cloudy motive is mixed and impure. Paul says that some preach Christ because of envy (Phil. 1:15). Such persons may be zealous and obtain good results, but when we examine their motive, we see that their hearts are not pure. (CWWL, 1956, vol. 2, “Three Aspects of the Church, Book 2: The Course of the Church,” p. 297)

10只有清心的人,才能得着活在神面前的人作同工。他们的心是对付过的,他们与人接触时,能摸着人心的光景。他们与清心的人站在一起,一同维持主的见证,一同走主的路,一同作主的工,并不是凭外面道理上相同的见地,而是因他们里面都有清洁的心。道理的见解不同总是叫人分裂。一个真实清心的人,碰着另一个清心的人时,能为那人殉道,爱他好像爱主一样,肯为他出任何代价。所以,我们要得着最好的同工、同伴,我们的心必须清洁。
10Those who are pure in heart will find others who live before God to be their co-workers. Since their heart has been dealt with, they are able to discern the condition of the heart of those they contact. The pure in heart stand together to maintain the Lord’s testimony, walk in the Lord’s way, and do the Lord’s work because inwardly their hearts are pure, not because they share the same doctrinal viewpoint. Differences in opinion related to doctrine lead to divisions. When one who is pure in heart meets another person who is pure in heart, he can willingly be martyred for that person and love him as if he were the Lord. We gain the best co-workers and companions when we are pure in heart.
11一位已经故去的……弟兄,我们在一起配搭约二十年之久。我们彼此之间没有一点难处,那是因为主将我们带在一起,我碰着他的心只要主,不要别的。我今天能见证,他在召会中出了许多代价,受了许多苦,有过许多牺牲,但他从来没有为自己有任何感觉,也不为自己说什么。他实在是一个清心的人,所以我们能同心,能一同事奉主,一同走主的道路。只有清心的人才能摸着主的路。
11I coordinated with another brother for about twenty years before he passed away. There were no problems between us because the Lord brought us together. I felt that his heart was for nothing but the Lord. I can testify that he paid a great price for the church and suffered much. However, he never had any feeling for himself, nor did he speak for himself. He had a pure heart; thus, we served the Lord together in one accord and walked in the Lord’s way together. Only those who are pure in heart can walk in the Lord’s way.
12清心的目标是神,祷告的含意就是没有自己。祷告主,是一切让主来作,一切都是主的办法,不是人的意见。如果一切是出乎人的,有人的办法、主张、能力,就不需要祷告主了。……我们能不能得着主在这时代兴起来的人作我们的同伴,不仅要看我们的心清不清,还要看我们有没有停下自己的一切。我们的干才、聪明、办法、智慧,停下来了没有?是我们和弟兄们一同服在主面前,寻求主的引导?还是我们要贯彻自己的主张?如果要贯彻我们的主张,就不需要祷告主;如果要和弟兄们一同服在主面前,寻求主的引导,就需要祷告主。
12A pure heart seeks only God, and prayer implies that there is nothing of the self. Prayer means that we allow the Lord to do everything according to His way and not according to man’s opinion. If we do things out of ourselves by human methods, opinions, and power, we have no need of prayer…Whether we can find those whom the Lord has raised up to be our companions depends not only on the purity of our heart but also on whether we have stopped all the activity of the self. Have we stopped our ability, cleverness, methods, and wisdom? Do we submit ourselves to the Lord and seek His leading, or do we insist on our opinions? If we want to push our opinions through, we do not need to pray; if we want to submit ourselves to the Lord and seek His leading, we need to pray.
13提后二章二十二节说,要“清心呼求主”。我们所注意的,就是清心和呼求主。正如在身体里,只要是外面加进来的东西,都不太能和身体的肢体调和、相合。同样的原则,你若是清心祷告主的人,碰着一位不清心祷告的人,也没有办法和他在一起。这不是宗派的问题。若说这样合不来就是宗派,那么即使是这样混在一起,神也要定罪,因为神定罪混杂的事。清心的人和不清心的人,倚靠神和倚靠自己的人,受神引导作工和用自己办法作工的人,不能混在一起;从来没有一个混杂能蒙神称许(李常受文集一九五六年第二册,三九五至三九六、三九九至四○○页)。
13Second Timothy 2:22 says that we need to “call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” Our focus is on calling on the Lord and having a pure heart. Anything added to our physical body from the outside cannot become one with our body. In the same principle, if we are ones who pray to the Lord out of a pure heart, we cannot be joined to someone who does not. This is not a question of sectarianism. If we call this sectarianism and try to join with ones who do not pray out of a pure heart, God will condemn us, because He condemns any mixture. The pure in heart and those with an impure heart, those who rely on the Lord and those who do not rely on the Lord, and those who are led by the Lord in their work and those who work by their own methods should not be mixed together. No mixture is approved by God. (CWWL, 1956, vol. 2, “Three Aspects of the Church, Book 2: The Course of the Church,” pp. 299-300, 302)

今日要点
15主题:为着神和神的定旨,操练过清心呼求主的生活
15
16引经:提后二22太五8
16
171.清心为着神,将心定准于神:
17
18A.保罗鼓励提摩太要呼求主名,然而在召会荒凉的时代,外面的许多事物都搅扰、打岔我们实行呼求主名,所以保罗说要同那「清心」呼求主名的人一同竭力追求,所以在召会败落、下坡的时期,只有清心的人能摸着路,才能在性质上断定事情。
18
19B.清心,清洁的心,意思是只为着神,将心定准于神,完全为着神,只有清心的人,才能得着活神面前的人作同工,他们的心受主对付,他们与人接触,能摸着人心的光景,他们与清心的人在一起,一同维持主的见证,一同走主的路,一同作主的工,并不是凭借外面的道理上的相同,而是因着里面有清洁的心。
19
202.与清心呼求主的人一同追求:
20
21A.太五8指出,清心的人有福了,因为他们必看见神,清心的目标乃是神自己,祷告的含义就是没有自己,弃绝自己,不看自己,而让主来作,一切都是主的办法,不是人的意见,如果一切是出乎人的,有人的办法、主张、能力,我们就必须要祷告主了,最后就从目标岔开了。
21
22B.所以提后二22,保罗要提摩太「清心」「呼求主」,我们所注意的,乃是清心和呼求主,我们若将一切的眼目对准主,我们就会与同样清心呼求主的人再一起配搭,一同事奉主,一同走主的道路,保罗所鼓励的,乃是提摩太能够站住,并抵抗召会败落重要的因素。
22
23应用:向主祷告,求主不仅除去我们不清洁的存心,也使我们在召会中找寻清心的人,一同实行神命定之路,过召会生活,完全为着神的定旨而活,好成就神对召会的定旨。
