Noon Day Devotion By Keith
Reprove And Challenge All Evil Ways

凯斯的正午灵修

Ephesians5

以弗所书5

Ephesians 5:11 Take no part in and have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds and enterprises of darkness, but rather expose and reprove and convict them.

11那暗昧无益的事，不要与人同行，倒要责备（行这事的人）

Ephesians 5:12 For it is a shame even to speak of or mention the things that [such people] practice in secret.

12因为他们暗中所行的，就是提起来也是可耻的。

Ephesians 5:13 But when anything is exposed and reproved by the light, it is made visible and clear; and where everything is visible and clear there is light.

13凡事受了责备，就被光显明出来，因为一切能显明的就是光。

Ephesians 5:14 Therefore He says, Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine (make day dawn) upon you and give you light.

14所以（主）说，你这睡着的人当醒过来，从死里复活！基督就要光照你了。

Ephesians 5:15 Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people),

15你们要谨慎行事，不要像愚昧人，当像智慧人。

Ephesians 5:16 Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil.

16要爱惜光阴，因为现今的世代邪恶。

The Lord has laid this devotion on my heart. I feel very passionately about the evils of Halloween.

主将这段灵修放在我的心里。我对万圣节的邪恶感到非常愤怒。

Now I know many believers think I am going over the top on this issue, so let’s start with these verses in Galatians 5

我知道许多信徒认为我在这个问题是过于激动，所以让我们从加拉太书5章的这些经文开始。

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 idolatry,witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

加拉太书5:19-21情欲的事都是显而易见的，就如奸淫、污秽、邪荡、 拜偶像、邪术、仇恨、争竞、忌恨、恼怒、结党、纷争、异端、 嫉妒（有古卷加：凶杀二字）、醉酒、荒宴等类。我从前告诉你们，现在又告诉你们，行这样事的人必不能承受神的国。

Do you notice anything believer? Yes, Witchcraft is included in this list.

信徒，你注意到什么了吗？是的。邪术也包含在上面的清单中。

Jesus talks about things like adultery and murder in the Sermon on the Mount; He says that if you do them in your heart, you are as guilty as those who actually do them-what about participating in Halloween?

耶稣在山上的讲道中谈到了通奸和谋杀等事情；他说，如果你在心里想这件事情，与那实际去做的人一样，就算是犯奸淫了。那么，参与万圣节呢？

Well, if you let you children dress up in ghostly costumes, or place carved pumpkins outside your house, you are involving yourself in this evil practice, when God clearly tells you in His Word to have nothing to do with it-forgive me, I am a bit slow-but even a slow person like realizes that this for what it is “DISOBEDIENCE.”

如果你让你的孩子穿上幽灵的服装，或者在房子外面放置雕刻的南瓜…你就参与了这个邪恶的行为。然而上帝明确告诉你，要与此保持距离…原谅我，有点慢热…但即使向我这样迟钝的人也会意识到这是什么…就是“不顺服”。

What does the first part of Ephesians 5:11 say? – HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WORKS OF DARKNESS. IT MEANS EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS!

上一部分以弗所书5:11节说到“那暗昧无益的事，不要同行，倒要责备（行这事的人）。”

The Ephesian believers had a great bonfire and burnt all their pagan books. They took these verses to heart, more to the point, they obeyed them.

以弗所书的信徒们篝火熊熊，烧掉了他们所有的异教书籍…他们把这些经文牢记在心，更重要的是，他们遵守了这些教导。

Believers want God to be their friend… well, He is. If you obey Him. He demands that you burn all this Halloween stuff and that you do not participate in this godless and pagan holiday.

信徒们希望上帝成为他们的朋友…好吧，如果你顺从他的话，他就是你的朋友。他要求你烧掉所有这些万圣节的东西，不要参与这个无神论和异教的节日。

If Christians acted like the Ephesian believers and burned all this rubbish, we would have bonfires stretching all across America and other countries. I estimate and I am just guessing here that Evangelical Bible believing Christians spend up to 100 million in many currencies on Halloween food, costumes etc. How much would world missions benefit if that money was given to support the work of the church overseas? How many missionaries are struggling for support and the church wastes money on this rubbish?

如果基督徒们像以弗所的信托一样烧掉所有这些垃圾，我们在美国和其他国家将会看到篝火绵延不绝。我估计，我只是猜测，坚信圣经的福音派基督徒在万圣节食物、服装等方面花费了高达1亿没有的多种货币。如果这笔钱用来支持海外教会的工作，世界宣教会将得到多大的益处？有多少宣教士在为得到支持而苦苦挣扎，而教会却在这些垃圾上浪费了金钱？

Now I won’t be the only person teaching or preaching this in the run up to Halloween, but some people do not get it- it is Time to obey the LORD and to have no fellowship with the works of darkness.

现在，万圣节前夕，我不会是唯一一个传授或布道这个的人，但有些人可能不理解…是时候顺从主，与黑暗的产业保持距离了。

This so-called holiday is in the realm of the devil-he is our enemy. It seems some Christians have crossed over to the enemy’s side for the time leading up to Halloween.

这所谓的节日属于魔鬼的领域…他是我们的敌人…似乎一些基督徒在万圣节前夕时已经投降到了敌人的一方。

IF you go on any social media site such as FACEBOOK and click on the satanic groups, their groups have up to 20,000 members, my brothers and sisters, the devil is not playing games, we laugh at Nero and say he fiddled whilst Rome burnt, but in joining in with the Halloween fun, we play with fire. We are not to fiddle about with these things, we are to rebuke this evil. The first settlers that came to America would be shocked to see this across the country, this was not brought by them.

如果你上任何社交媒体网站，比如脸书（FACEBOOK），并点击撒旦教团体，它们的成员数量多达20,000人，我的兄弟姐妹们，魔鬼并不是在玩游戏。我们嘲笑尼禄（Nero ），说他在罗马燃烧时在拉小提琴，但参与万圣节的欢乐活动，我们就是在玩火。我们不应该玩弄这些东西，我们应该谴责这邪恶。最早来到美国的定居者们会对在全国范围内看到这种情况感到震惊，这并不是他们带来的。

You know Christians think, they are on some kind of party ride, the devil is deadly serious, there are thousands of groups all across the world, who will pray for the destruction of Christianity on this time, this is the height of evil and must be opposed.

你知道基督徒们认为，他们正在参加某种派对，但魔鬼是非常认真的，全世界有成千上万的团体，他们会为了在这个时候摧毁基督教而祈祷，这是邪恶的顶峰，必须加以反对。

It is time to tell you kids not to participate in this, to forbid them. Yes, to be strict, what peer group pressure is placed on them. It is time for you pastors to preach against this evil, it is time for the church to pray against this evil, to not go to stores who sell this stuff.

现在是告诉你的孩子们不要参与其中的时候了，要禁止他们… 是的，要严格要求，看看他们受到了什么同龄人的压力。现在是牧师们宣讲反对这种邪恶的时候了，是教会祈祷反对这种邪恶的时候了，不要去出售这些东西的商店。

It is time to burn the stuff you have about Halloween and go to the Lord in Repentance.  Are you prepared to burn all the Halloween stuff you have in your house?

是时候烧掉你家里关于万圣节的所有东西，然后前去主面前懺悔… 你准备好燃烧你家里的所有万圣节用品了吗？

The Devil Is Not Playing Games. Why Are We?

魔鬼并不是在玩游戏，为什么我们要呢？

IF you join in with this evil, then you are standing with the devil’s side, what was Aaron and the Children of Israel doing, when they worshipped the Golden Calf, bowing down to an idol.  What are we doing when we have pumpkins around the porch? Oh, they look pretty, the Lord doesn’t think so?

如果你参与这种邪恶，那么你就站在了魔鬼一方，亚伦和以色列子民们崇拜金牛犊时在做什么呢？俯首拜偶像。当我们在门廊周围摆上南瓜时，我们在做什么呢？哦，它们看起来漂亮，但主并不这么认为。

Who Is On The Lord’s Side?

谁站在主的一方？

You refuse and join in with this stuff, then you are in rebellion against God and what is rebellion, it is like the sin of witchcraft

如果你拒绝并参与这些事物，那么你就是在违抗上帝，而违抗，就像行邪术的罪一样，

In 1 Samuel 15, the Lord says that rebellion, which is a refusal to do what you are told and to go your own way, is like this

在撒母耳记上15章中，主说。这是一种拒绝听从命令，按照自己的方式行事的叛逆。

22 And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.

撒母耳记上15:22-23撒母耳说：耶和华喜悦燔祭和平安祭，岂如喜悦人听从他的话呢？听命胜于献祭；顺从胜于公羊的脂油。悖逆的罪与行邪术的罪相等；顽梗的罪与拜虚神和偶像的罪相同。你既厌弃耶和华的命令，耶和华也厌弃你作王。

In verse 16 of Ephesians 5, we are told to redeem the time, literally to buy it back. If you are involving yourself in this practice.. stop and turn in repentance.

以弗所书5章16节告诉我们要”爱惜光阴”，实质上是要将时间买回来。如果你参与了这种做法，停下来，转向悔改。

There are millions of Christians who say nothing and are silent, it is time to rise up like a mighty army of prayer warriors. Prayer chains against this evil should run in every church, every city, every village and every Christian household. We need to stand against this evil and to come to Lord in repentance asking his forgiveness and pleading for revival, so that this evil will be banished forever.

有成千上万的基督徒保持沉默，不作声，现在是时候像祈祷战士的强大军队一样起来了。反对这种邪恶的祈祷链应该在每个教堂、每个城市、每个村庄和每个基督教家庭中都要运转。我们需要站起来反对这种邪恶，前去主面前懊悔，请求他的宽恕并恳求复兴，以使这种邪恶永远被驱逐。

If you refuse to obey the Lord and participate in Halloween, then you are guilty of witchcraft, and as Galatians 5 says- no one who does such a thing will enter the Kingdom of God-A very sobering thought. Amen.

如果你拒绝顺从主的命令，参与万圣节，那么你就有邪术的罪，正如加拉太书5章所说… 这样行事的人不会得到上帝的国度… 这是一个非常发人深省的思考… 阿门。

Have Nothing To Do With This Pagan Time.

与这个异教节日无关。

A final word, the 31st of October is the anniversary of Martin Luther and what he did back in 1517, what did he do you say?

最后一句，10月31日是马丁·路德的纪念日，他于1517年做了什么，说了什么？

Christians know more about Halloween than they do about the reformation, what a disgrace that is! Amen

基督徒对万圣节了解得比对宗教改革了解得多，这是多么羞耻… 阿门。

I am going to let my dear friend Pastor Michael say a few words about this, he is far more qualified, over to you Brother.

现在我将让我亲爱的朋友迈克尔牧师谈一些关于这个话题的话，他更有资格，请您发言，弟兄…。

Hello everyone, and Halloween or All Hallows Eve, does have its roots in paganism. While some do not set out to be a part of paganism when they let their children “trick or treat,” we do need to understand where this “holiday” came from. While the practices were and are different, depending on which country you came from, it is based on the belief in ghosts, and paganism over 2000 years ago. This article gives a good summary:

大家好，万圣节或诸圣夜，它的确起源于异教信仰。虽然一些人在让孩子“不给糖就捣蛋”时可能并不是有意要参与异教信仰，但我们确实需要了解这个“节日”的根源。尽管习俗不同，取决于你来自哪个国家，但它是基于对鬼魂的信仰和2000多年前的异教信仰。这篇文章给出了一个很好的总结:

What are the origins of Halloween?

The question arises about a Christian’s participation in this day.  Keith has stated his conviction above, and we should be careful.  Even if we don’t celebrate it, there is an opportunity, at least in America, to use this to share the Gospel.  At no other time does someone have many kids, and adults, coming to the door, asking for candy!  What a great opportunity to give out tracks and a treat!  We overcome the darkness by bringing the light and there is nothing brighter than the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the only way of salvation!

关于基督徒参与这一天的问题产生了讨论。凯斯（Keith）在上面陈述了他的信仰，我们应该小心。即使我们不庆祝它，至少在美国，也有一个机会用这个来分享福音。没有任何其他时候，会有那么多的孩子和成年人来敲门，要糖果！这是一个非常好的机会，可以分发传单和一些小礼物！我们通过带来光明来战胜黑暗，而没有比耶稣基督的福音更明亮的了，这是唯一的救恩之道！

In His Love,

Michael

在他的爱中，

迈克尔
