相聚和分散是我们基督徒每天每周重复的动作。我们营会时相聚，主日时相聚，就是聚会后一起用餐，一起逛街也是一种相聚。确实，我们都喜欢相聚的感觉，特别是相聚当中的凝聚力，或是彼此同感一灵的感觉。但我们也不能排除我们之后需要分散的必要，因为我们各自都有自己各人的生活与家庭，以及在现场生活中要完成的任务与使命。那么，我们分散之后就失去了灵里的相通吗？我们分散之后有否透过灵里相通而成就更美好的事呢？当我们信徒将每周的时段分别出来，做重复的事（相聚分散），若我们得不着主的心而做，我们就很容易陷入无意义的相聚，无能力的分散。其实，我们很容易陷入这样的状态。在初代教会，当门徒或相聚或分散，他们的心灵是在一起的，那就是《腓2:2》所说的意念相同，爱心相同，有一样的心思，有一样的意念。那不是一种需要彼此的感觉而已。有些人常常在一起，但是他们动不动会因一些芝麻绿豆的小事来对彼此产生不满。有些人的在一起给周围的人带来一种界限，使他们感觉不能融入这现有的群体。纵然这些人会说自己从来没有排斥人，但人与人会散发这种感应力。一个群体若不能向外来的人开放，走出自己的舒服境界去主动接触人，他就自动会将墙建在他的周围，也就会带出一种“结党”的感觉《腓2:3》。其实，人都是自动与他喜欢的人在一起，就如同我们在学校只与我们熟悉的朋友一起吃饭，在教会只坐在我们熟悉的位子，跟一样的群人接触谈话。若是我们熟悉的人不在的话，我们自动会感到陌生，然后从陌生的环境离开。人自动会选择熟悉感过于陌生感。因为那个熟悉感会带来安全感。另外，我们一分散时马上会发现孤独感，就例如一个人吃饭、逛街、接触人、跟陌生人交谈，我们很容易落入暂时忍耐而做的心态。可能我们一来都带着我们与身俱来的倾向来活，也没察觉有何问题。但确实，福音在相聚与分散给予我们另外一种认识。福音首先告诉我们主与我们同在。虽然我们都会面对熟悉与陌生的群体，但神就在此与我们同在。在我们的相聚里，神要我们明白什么是灵里相通的生命。那是重视彼此生命，也不因彼此软弱而随意论断彼此，反倒是愿意服侍彼此的关系。分散后虽有想念彼此（如同牧师在宣教时想念大家），但心里却是带着使命感，要完成主托付的使命。可能在聚会过后，我们会倾向与我们很熟悉的肢体交流聊天，但周围却遍满许多不熟悉的脸孔，那与我们同在的主绝不是叫我们随从自己的心意，乃是接触主放在我周围的人（顾别人的事）。其实，相聚和分散是信徒的最基本的生活。倘若我们面对每周都非做不可的一些事情，心却没有透过真理来洗净，我们的信仰就会变得越来越无力。

Gathering and dispersing are what we Christians do repeatedly week after week. We gather for camps, for The Lord’s Day. Even having meals, shopping together after meeting is a form of gathering. Indeed, we all like the feeling of gatherings, especially when we feel the bond with one another, or when we feel we share the same spirit. However, we cannot ignore the necessity to disperse after gathering, as we all have our own life and families, and the missions we need to accomplish in our living. Having said that, do we lose the communion in spirit after we disperse? After we have dispersed, do we accomplish better things through the communion in the spirit. When we believers set apart time every week, do the same thing (gather and disperse), if we do not do them with the heart of the Lord, we will easily enter into purposeless gathering, and powerless dispersing. Actually we will fall into such a state easily. In the early churches, whenever the disciples met or dispersed, their spirits were united. That is what is described in <Phil 2:2> as being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. It is not a feeling of need for one another. Some people may hang out often, but they may develop grievances with one another over trivial matters. Some people will give the people around them a boundary, making them feeling they cannot fit into the existing group. Although these people will say that they have never rejected people, but among people, they will send out such vibes. If a group cannot open up themselves to outsiders, walk out of their comfort zone and proactivelly engage others, we will automatically build a wall around them, and will give out a “cliquish” feeling <Phil 2:3>. Actually, man will naturally gather with people he likes. Just as in school, we like to eat with friends we are familiar with, and in church, we go to our familiar seats, and talk to the same people. If the people we are familiar with are not around, we will feel “unfamiliar” and then leave the unfamiliar environment. Man will naturally choose the familiar over the unfamiliar because the familiar brings a sense of security. On the other hand, when we disperse, we may immediately feel loneliness, when we eat, shop, engage people alone or speak to strangers. We will easily do out of an attitude to endure for a short while. Perhaps we have always lived with our natural inclinations and never sensed any problems. However, gathering and dispersing in the gospel gives us another understanding. The gospel first tells us that the Lord is with us. Although we may face familiar or unfamiliar groups of people, God is still there with us. In our gathering, God wants us to understand what is having communion in the spirit. That is a relationship where we value one another’s lives, not judge one another casually because of others’ weaknesses, but instead be willing to serve one another. After dispersing, although we think of one another (just as pastor thinks of the church during missions), we have a sense of purpose, to accomplish the tasks the Lord entrusted to us. Perhaps, after gathering, our tendency is to speak to brethren we are familiar with, but we are surrounded by many unfamiliar faces. The Lord who is with us definitely does not want us to follow our own will, but to engage the people that the Lord has put around us (looking to the interests of others). Actually, gathering and dispersing is the most fundamental part of life for a believer. For the things which we need to do every week, if we do not purify our hearts with the truth, then our faith will become increasingly powerless.
