武器無效

經文: ��「凡為攻擊您造成的器械必不利用；凡在審判時興起用舌攻擊您的，您必定他為有罪。」（以賽亞書五十四︰17）�'a�Z�

敵軍炮火連連、殺氣騰騰，他們極盡所能，攻擊信徒，但若主不許可，敵人也無法如願得逞，因為上帝是創造全地的主。儘管敵人竭盡智能，發明利劍長矛，但這些武器在上帝的眼中，只不過像孩童的玩具，頃刻折斷，無用武之地。�

再聽另一種喧鬧之音，那是敵人唇槍舌戰，口吐威赫兇殺之語，欲置他人於死地；那是比槍炮更利害、邪惡的武器，能傷人更深，誤人更廣。我們面對週遭這些毒如蛇蠍，惡如豺狼的兇狠仇敵，如何防衛他們的口蜜腹劍，笑裡藏刀？如何迎戰他們的言語撻捫，人身攻擊？上帝應許我們，若我們不能禁止他們不出聲，至少上帝可以使我躲避這些有如明槍暗箭般的言語殺戮。他們雖可逞口舌之利，暫時佔上風，但最終上帝必定他們有罪，直到永遠。他們口中所出虛謊之語，必如風消逝，他們的虛偽假善，也必借用來成就受苦之人的榮耀。�


Weapons Doomed to Fail

Scripture: "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn" (Isaiah 54:17).

There is great clatter in the forges and smithies of the enemy. They are making weapons wherewith to smite the saints. They could not even do as much as this if the LORD of saints did not allow them; for He has created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire. But see how busily they labor! How many swords and spears they fashion! It matters nothing, for on the blade of every weapon you may read this inscription: It shall not Prosper.

But now listen to another noise: it is the strife of tongues. Tongues are more terrible instruments than can be made with hammers and anvils, and the evil which they inflict cuts deeper and spreads wider. What will become of us now? Slander, falsehood, insinuation, ridicule-these are poisoned arrows; how can we meet them? The LORD God promises us that, if we cannot silence them, we shall, at least, escape from being ruined by them. They condemn us for the moment, but we shall condemn them at last and forever. The mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped, and their falsehoods shall be turned to the honor of those good men who suffered by them.
