家人是我们地上关系最亲密的关系。教会是我们圣民最需要的关系。若圣民只有在乎家庭，不在乎教会，我们的家庭生活很容易会来到一个瓶颈，特别是在婚姻的矛盾与养育儿女上不知所措。或者当家庭的需求越来越多，我们也会发现教会生活拿走了我们家庭的时间。但另外，若我们只有投入教会里的生活，而不懂得将教会里所领受的恩典带回自己的家庭，那教会的生活就不能带给我们生活上的证据了。这样一来，教会生活就间接阻挡了我们过蒙恩的家庭生活。其实，很多人在教会与家庭两者的连接上得不到确实的答案。有些人读到主耶稣说：「爱父母过于爱我的，不配做我的门徒；爱儿女过于爱我的，不配做我的门徒；不背着他的十字架跟从我的，也不配做我的门徒」《太10:37-38》。但是保罗的教导里也并非忽略家庭里的事。他说到圣民要看顾亲友，不然就是背了真道《提前5:8》；在他的教导中也常提到夫妇之间要怎么相爱、儿女且要懂得听从父母、父母不惹儿女的气，且要照着主的教训和警戒养育他们、就是连在家中仆人与主人且要有一种互相尊重的关系《弗5:22–6:9》。教会里的生活一定要带来家庭里蒙恩的运作。哪怕家庭里总是有复杂的事，或说家庭成员都有难顺服的道（术语说：家家有本难念的经），神还是将道赐给教会，然后圣民要将这道实践在家庭里。一旦我们能确认与掌握这连接，教会生活是有效力了。并且，初代教会让我们看到一个非常重要的事实，就是教会都是在家庭兴起的。《林前16:15》说到司提反一家（教会）是亚该亚初结的果子；《林前16:19》说到哥林多教会是在亚基拉和百基拉的家中聚会；《提后1:16》也说到：阿尼色弗一家的人（教会）常带给保罗很多的安慰而和帮助。其实，最蒙恩的光景就是家庭蒙恩到一个地步，成为了许多家庭相聚的据点（教会）。所以，我们会知道一个家庭能蒙恩的潜能是无限的。教会能祝福一个家庭，甚至到达一个家庭和它所得的恩惠能祝福许多的家庭。但今天要强调的重点是我们怎么将家庭与教会紧密连接。确实，家庭是我们最靠进的关系，而最靠进的关系且是最容易出现软弱之处。有时，我们因为很爱自己的家庭而操心他们。有时又因为很依赖他们而要求他们。有时又因为太过的熟悉而容易忽略他们。所以，若我们心里缺少恩惠，我们很难祝福自己的家人，反倒容易因自己的家庭揪心。所以，圣民的家庭是一直要联结于教会的祭坛，然后从祭坛得着活水的滋润。所以，当神让我们圣民将一周差不多4-10个小时花在教会里，我们一定要得蒙神赐我们的恩惠。当这个的连接是越确实，信徒是越会喜爱以教会为中心生活

The family is the most intimate relationship we have on earth. The Church is the relationship that we saints need most. If saints only care about the family and not about the Church, our family life can easily come to a bottleneck. In particular, we will come to our wit’s end in managing the contradictions in our marriage life and parenting. Or as the family's needs increasingly grow, we will also find that church living takes away our family time. But on the other hand, if we only participate in church living and do not know how to bring the grace received from the church to our family, then church living cannot give us evidences in our lives. In this way, church living indirectly hinders a blessed family life. Actually, many people do not get a definitive answer to the connection between the Church and family. Some people read about what the Lord said, “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.” <Mt 10:37>. But Paul's teaching is not to neglect things in the family. He said that saints have to provide for their relatives, otherwise they are denying the faith. <1 Ti 5:8>. In his teachings, it is often mentioned how spouses should love each other, children ought to know how to listen to their parents, parents should not embitter their children, but should raise them according to the Lord's teachings and warnings. Even the servants and masters at home must have a relationship of mutual respect <Ep 5:22 - 6:9>. Church living must bring about grace in the family. Even if there are always complications in the family, or if family members have difficulties submitting to the word (As the saying goes, every family has its own problems), God still gives the Word to the Church, and for saints to practice this in the family. Once we can confirm and grasp this connection, our church living is effective. And, the early church taught us a very important truth, that is, the Church is raised in the family. <1 Co 16:15> says that the household of Stephanas (the Church) were the first converts in Achaia; <1 Co 16:19> says that the Church in Corinth met at the house of Aquila and Priscilla; <2 Ti 1:16> also says that the household of Onesiphorus (the Church) often brought lots of comfort and help to Paul. Actually, the most blessed scenario is when the family has been blessed to a point that it has become a venue where many families gather (Church). Therefore, we must know that the potential of a family to be blessed is unlimited. The Church can bless a family even to the extent that the grace from that family can bless many more families. But the point I want to emphasize today is how do we closely connect the family to the Church. Indeed, the family is our closest relationship, and many weaknesses also emerge most easily from the closest relationship. Sometimes, because we love our family, we get too worried over them. Sometimes, when we are dependent on them, we impose expectations on them. Sometimes, it is easy to neglect them because they are too familiar. Therefore, if we lack grace in our hearts, it is difficult for us to bless our family members, but it is easy to be worried about our family. Therefore, the family of saints must continue to be connected to the altar of the Church, and then from the altar receive the nourishment of living water. Therefore, when God allows us saints to spend between 4-10 hours a week in the church, we must receive grace from God. The more we are assured of this connection, the more believers will love to live a church-centered life.
