信心的支票簿 Faith's check book
單單仰賴主
經文: ��「彼得說：眾人雖然為'ㄙ瑤t故跌倒，我卻永不跌倒。」（馬太福音廿六︰33）
瞧！這只不過是人口中所出的話，不是上帝的應許，所以算不得什麼。彼得以為他所說的，必能完全行出。但一個承諾，光靠人的決心還不夠，若沒有更穩固的基礎，至終必定粉碎。當考驗一來臨，彼得就三次發誓言，否認他認識主。�
人的話就像一摔即破的瓦器，你的決心，若有上帝的看顧，或許會開花結果；若不然，當風一吹，這花葉就會從枝頭落到地面。人的承諾不能定準，因為客觀局勢一變，它也跟著變。人的決心也靠不住，因為人是軟弱的。�
只有上帝的應許安定在天，穩若磐石；祂的話語一點一劃都不能廢去，經得住時間的考驗。�
這本書能檢驗你的信心，這一頁就是提醒你，你是在那個銀行存款，用的是誰的簽名。儘管放心地依靠耶穌，因為我們有個開銀行的天父，祂有無限的豐富，只要靠著耶穌的名來到上帝面前，必可支取我們需用的一切。人是不可靠的，人的幫助也是有限的。來吧，朋友，只要單單地仰賴主！�
God Only, You Can Trust
Scripture: "Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of Thee, yet will I never be offended" (Matthew 26:33).
Why," cries one, "this is no promise of God." Just so, but it was a promise of man, and therefore it came to nothing. Peter thought that he was saying what he should assuredly carry out; but a promise which has no better foundation than a human resolve will fall to the ground. No sooner did temptations arise than Peter denied his Master and used oaths to confirm his denial.
What is man's word? An earthen pot broken with a stroke. What is your own resolve? A blossom, which, with God's care, may come to fruit, but which, left to itself, will fall to the ground with the first wind that moves the bough.
On man's word hang only what it will bear.
On thine own resolve depend not at all.
On the promise of thy God hang time and eternity, this world and the next, thine all and the all of all thy beloved ones.
This volume is a checkbook for believers, and this page is meant as a warning as to what bank they draw upon and whose signature they accept. Rely upon Jesus without limit. Trust not thyself nor any born of woman, beyond due bounds; but trust thou only and wholly in the LORD.
