8林前十6~7 这些事都是我们的鉴戒,叫我们不作贪恋恶事的人,像他们那样贪恋。也不要作拜偶像的人,像他们有些人那样……。
81 Cor. 10:6-7 Now these things occurred as examples to us, that we should not be ones who lust after evil things, even as they also lusted. Neither become idolaters, as some of them did…
9约壹五21 孩子们,你们要保守自己,远避偶像。
91 John 5:21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols.
10出埃及三十二章四节说,亚伦拿金子“铸了一只牛犊,是用雕刻的工具作成的”。……偶像的基本原则是自我妆饰。如果偶像不是妆饰过的,谁会拜它?这里的点是,把金子铸成牛犊是需要技术的。有些人也许有金子,但没有技术把金子铸成牛犊。然而每一个制造偶像的人都和亚伦一样,有技术、有能力、有恩赐、有才干。谁知道今天在基督徒中间有技术制造偶像的人有多少?这些巧匠有知识、有教养、有能力、有技巧。其他人无法制造偶像,因为他们没有技巧,但这些人有能力把金子铸成偶像。……有时候我问自己:“你在这里作什么?你在制造偶像么?你在妆饰自己的工作来给人敬拜么?”我唯恐自己造出了某种偶像(出埃及记生命读经,二一一四至二一一五页)。
10Exodus 32:4 says that Aaron took the gold and “fashioned it with an engraving tool and made it into a molten calf.”…The basic principle of an idol is self-beautification. If an idol is not beautified, who would worship it? The point here is that it takes skill to fashion gold into a calf. Some may have the gold, but not have the skill to fashion it into a calf. But every maker of idols, like Aaron, is skillful, capable, gifted, and talented. Who knows how many skillful idol-makers there are among Christians today? These craftsmen are knowledgeable, cultured, capable, and skillful. Whereas others are not able to make idols because they do not have the skill, these ones have the ability to fashion gold into idols…Sometimes I ask myself, “What are you doing here? Are you making an idol? Are you beautifying your own work for others to worship?” I am fearful lest I make some kind of idol. (Life-study of Exodus, p. 1842)

Today's Reading
11在出埃及三十二章,用来造金牛犊的材料,是以色列人妻子、儿子、女儿耳上的金环。……今天的文化提倡自我妆饰,男男女女都花许多钱用于妆饰自己的东西上。自我妆饰导致拜偶像。……以色列人铸造金牛犊的偶像以前,偶像已经以不同的形态,就是以自我妆饰的形态存在他们中间。以色列人的妻子、儿子、女儿耳上戴着金环,为着妆饰自己。……在神看来,自我妆饰就是偶像。在三十三章五至六节,主吩咐百姓不要有什么妆饰,原因就在这里。……百姓有金牛犊的偶像以前,耳上已经戴着初步的偶像。
11In Exodus 32 the gold rings were taken from the ears of the wives, the sons, and the daughters and used to make the idol, the golden calf. Today’s culture promotes self-beautification. Men and women spend a great deal of money on items used to beautify themselves…Self-beautification leads to idolatry. Before the children of Israel made the idol of the golden calf, idols were already present among them in a different form, in the form of self-beautification. The wives, the sons, and the daughters of the children of Israel wore gold rings in their ears for the purpose of self-beautification…In the sight of God, selfbeautification is an idol. This was the reason the Lord commanded the people in 33:5-6 not to have any ornaments…Before the people had the idol of the golden calf, they already had the preliminary idols hanging from their ears.
12与拜偶像有关的另一个原则是:拜偶像乃是撒但篡夺了神所赐给我们的,以致将其糟蹋。在三十二章,以色列人糟蹋了许多神所赐给他们的金子。以色列人离开埃及以前,神使埃及人把金子和其他的宝物给他们。这金子是要用来建造帐幕的,帐幕需要大量的金子包裹竖板。神击败了埃及人,他们就把金子给以色列人。但这金子在用来建造神的居所以前,撒但就进来篡夺了金子,用来作成偶像。事实上,牛犊造成之前,撒但已经篡夺了金子,用来作成耳环。以色列人若爱主到极点,他们就绝不会糟蹋金子,用来作成耳环;反之,他们会保存起来给主使用。
12Another principle related to idolatry is that idolatry is Satan’s usurping of what God has given us in order to make it a waste. In Exodus 32 the children of Israel wasted much of the gold that had been given to them by God. Before the children of Israel left Egypt, God caused the Egyptians to give the children of Israel gold and other precious things. This gold was to be used for building up the tabernacle. The tabernacle required a large quantity of gold to overlay the standing boards. God defeated the Egyptians, and they gave gold to the people of Israel. But before this gold was used for the building up of God’s dwelling place, Satan came in to usurp the gold and use it to make an idol. Actually, before the calf was made, Satan had already usurped the gold so that it might be used to make earrings. If the children of Israel had loved the Lord to the uttermost, they would never have wasted the gold by using it for earrings. Instead, they would have kept it for the Lord’s use.
13与偶像有关的另一个原则是在敬拜上有搀杂。……许多基督徒敬拜牛犊,却自以为是敬拜主耶稣或真神。事实上他们所敬拜的,乃是他们的享受。今天许多基督徒的敬拜是坐下吃喝,起来玩乐、歌唱,并且绕着一种享受,就是绕着金牛犊跳舞。有些弟兄会的教师点出这一点,点得很透彻。他们说,在西乃山下拜金牛犊乃是一种搀杂,因他们以正确的祭物并以正确的方式敬拜牛犊,仿佛牛犊是神一样。祭物没有错,方式也没有错,但敬拜的对象错了。这就是我们所说搀杂的意思。然而,我们所该思想的主要不是别人敬拜的方式,我们需要问问自己的敬拜如何。我们的敬拜是纯洁的,还是搀杂的?(出埃及记生命读经,二一○八至二一一一、二一一三至二一一四页)。
13Another principle related to idols is that here there is mixture in worship… Many Christians worship a calf, but they think that they are worshipping the Lord Jesus or the true God. Actually what they are worshipping is their enjoyment. Much of today’s Christian worship is a matter of sitting down to eat and drink and rising up to sport, sing, and dance around a certain kind of enjoyment, around a golden calf. Some of the Brethren teachers pointed this out in a very thorough way. They said that the worship of the golden calf at the foot of Mount Sinai was a mixture, for a calf was worshipped as if it were God with the proper offerings and in the proper way. The offerings were right and the way was right, but the object of worship was wrong. This is what we mean by mixture. However, we should not mainly consider the way others worship. We need to inquire about our own worship. Is our worship pure, or is it a mixture? (Life-study of Exodus, pp. 1837-1839, 1841)

今日要点
15主题:从拜偶像的营出来,好为着神的定旨
15
16
171.拜偶像的营没有主的同在:
17
18A.在以色列人拜了金牛犊后,出埃及三十三章记载摩西将帐棚支搭在营外,离营一段距离,所有寻求主的人都到那里与祂同聚集,因为主的同在和说话不在营内,而是在营外,我们若要享受主的同在,并听见祂的说话,就必须出到营外,这些都是实行且正当的召会生活所必须的。
18
19B.保罗在林前十章拿以色列人的祖宗虽出了埃及、过了红海、甚至也经历了吗哪和磐石流出活水的神迹,却仍因拜金牛犊而失败,所以6~7保罗说,『这些事都是我们的鉴戒,叫我们不作贪恋恶事的人,像他们那样贪恋。也不要作拜偶像的人,像他们有些人那样...』,约壹五21也说,『孩子们,你们要保守自己,远避偶像』,这里的偶像也指一切顶替真神的东西。
19
202.我们需要受金牛犊偶像的原则所警戒:
20
21A.我们需要受金牛犊偶像的原则所警戒,这偶像乃是神所救赎的人所作的,使他们成了拜偶像的营,首先,他们怎么有金子来造金牛犊?这些金子都是百姓出埃及之前,从埃及人得到的,这些金子却成了百姓的耳环,事实上,拜偶像的基本原则就是自我装饰,其次,这些金子是要为着帐幕建造的,却被撒但篡夺并将其糟蹋,这也是拜偶像,滥用神赐给我们的,不用在神的定旨,就是拜偶像。
21
22B.百姓在金牛犊面前唱歌跳舞,这说出拜偶像伴随着敬拜真神的装假和掺杂,许多基督徒敬拜牛犊,却自己为是敬拜真神,事实上他们所敬拜的,是他们的享受,百姓用了正确的祭物、正确的方式,却向着错误的对象敬拜,纵观当今许多基督徒的聚集,俨然跟演唱会没有两样,这当然是掺杂,但我们也该问自己,我们的敬拜难道没有掺杂?
22
23应用:在以色列人铸造金牛犊之前,偶像其实已经以不同的型态,就是自我装饰的型态存在他们中间了,为此我们需要除掉我们现在心里、手机里的一气偶像,最好的路,就是把自己的一切都奉献为着建造,花时间在牧养人身上,花财物在青年人的成全上,使我们蒙保守远避偶像。
