9月5日是“家庭聚会祈祷周”的开始。在这段视频中，泰德·威尔逊牧师和他的妻子南希讨论了家庭在福音传道中的作用。

自从上帝在伊甸园创造了第一个家庭以来，家庭一直是社会和上帝教会的基石。但是你知道吗？家庭可以成为上帝强有力的见证！

在《复临信徒家庭》的第32页上写道：“一个秩序井然、纪律严明的家庭是向世界展示基督教能力的最好证据。这将推荐真理，因为它是一个活生生的见证，证明它对心灵的实际能力”

拥有一个井然有序、纪律严明的家庭——听起来是一个很高的理想，对吗？而我们作为有缺点的人，似乎做不到。但上帝并没有要求我们做不可能的事。祂说：“凡奉祂的命令而行的事，都能靠着祂的大能完成。凡祂所吩咐的都必实现。”（基督比喻实训p333).

《圣经》和预言之灵给了我们很多启示，告诉我们如何拥有一个幸福、圣灵充满的家。但是实现这一愿景并不是那么容易。这就是我们需要通过研读《圣经》及祈祷来亲近上帝的原因。

此外，每天都要祈求圣灵与我们同在。到那时，我们就可以结出圣灵的果子了。加拉太书5:22-23写道:“圣灵所结的果子，就是仁爱，喜乐，和平，忍耐，恩慈，良善，信实，温柔，节制。这样的事，没有律法禁止。”

有了这圣灵的果子，我们就可以在基督里学习和成长，成为祂的有力见证人。

愿耶稣的公义赐给我们希望，医治我们的罪。

Family [How To Exemplify the Fruit of the Spirit In Witnessing] – Pastor Ted Wilson-

In this video, Pastor Ted Wilson and his wife, Nancy, discuss the role of the family in evangelism.

God created the first family in the Garden of Eden. Since then, the family has been the building block of society and the church of God. But did you know that it could be a powerful witness for God?

On page 32 of The Adventist Home, it says: “The greatest evidence of the power of Christianity that can be presented to the world is a well-ordered, well-disciplined family. This will recommend the truth as nothing else can, for it is a living witness of its practical power upon the heart.”

Well-ordered, well-disciplined family – sounds like a very high ideal, right? As human beings who fall short, it seems impossible to achieve that. But God doesn’t ask us to do the impossible. He said, “Whatever is to be done at His command may be accomplished in His strength. All His biddings are enablings” (Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 333).

The Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy provide us with plenty of instructions about having a happy, God-filled home. But practicing it is not that easy. This is why we need to be close to God through Bible study and prayer.

Also, ask for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit daily. By then, we can have the fruit of the Spirit. According to Galatians 5:22, 23, it is “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things, there is no law.”

Having this fruit, we can learn and grow in Christ and become effective witnesses for Him.
