People need the Lord 人人需要主

This is the day, that the Lord has made. 這就是主，所定的日子。

With 2 weeks before Christmas REMEMBER:
Jesus is Better than Santa
Santa lives at the North Pole.
JESUS is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.
Santa comes but once a year
JESUS is an ever present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies
JESUS supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart.
You have to stand in line to see Santa
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?"
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.
Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly
JESUS has a heart full of love.
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO
JESUS offers health, help and hope.
Santa says "You better not cry"
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.
Santa's little helpers make toys
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.
Santa may make you chuckle but
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.
It's obvious there is really no comparison.
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.
We need to put Christ back in Christmas.
Jesus is still the reason for the season.
May the Lord Bless and Watch over you and your loved ones this Christmas 2009
And may He prosper and bless the work of your hands in the New Year.

With our Christmas Blessings & love

大馬福音歌手張秀梅牧師北美巡迴演唱

林思恩 / 基督日報記者

來自馬來西亞、現代福音歌手中的大姐——張秀梅牧師，最近親臨北美舉辦「真愛不變」音樂分享會。「真正好，來信耶穌真正好……」這首朗朗上口、兼具多個方言版本的曲子多年來被收錄為佈道聚會的必唱曲目。這首歌的原唱者，也是現代福音歌手中的大姐——張秀梅牧師，最近親臨北美舉辦「真愛不變」音樂分享會，為慕道朋友們帶來不同方言的成名曲，以及真實的生命見證。張秀梅牧師15年來以演唱的方式在世界各地帶領佈道會，也是教會圈子內许多信徒所喜愛的福音歌手。她的成名曲包括《避難所》、閩南語歌曲《耶穌知我心》、粵語歌曲《真愛不變》、《恩曲》等。張秀梅牧師22日在三藩市華埠的中華基督教美以美會以「歌」會友，吸引不少中年人士和華埠居民出席。來自馬來西亞的她，在這次的詩歌分享會上，亦向會眾展示多語言的恩賜，親切地向會眾以粵語問安，也帶領大家用客家話、閩南語、馬來語和手語說「我愛你」。她幽默風趣、活潑有力的舞台魅力帶動了全場會眾又唱又跳。大家紛紛跟著張牧師一邊舞出簡單的馬來舞，一邊唱著印尼語改編的歌曲。在緊接著的兩首歌《凡勞苦擔重擔的人》、《真正好》中，會眾們載歌載舞，全場氣氛火熱。張牧師在演繹《人情世故》時，歌詞裏生動描繪人生「如同睡一覺、好像一聲歎息、一台戲」，而人就是在「笑著哭著兜著轉著」中如飛而去。然而，正如《恩曲》中「今救主在心裏，願與君共唱恩曲千千句」一句，張牧師裏面衷心感激造物主對自己和家人的恩惠。張牧師娓娓道出自己家族長輩的故事。上一代的人經歷了無數殘酷的現實，在第二次世界大戰、經濟蕭條、貧困交加中撫育了下一代、又爲了生活到他方打拼。她現年73歲的母親，在貧苦的環境中長大，本來希望靠著自己的聰明和命運抗爭，卻在不知情下成為丈夫第三位妻子。她連生四個女兒之後，家族給她一定要男丁的壓力。後來，她好不容易才有了個兒子。看似順心的日子中，卻在女兒患腦癌、丈夫驟然逝世、兒子不懂事這些接二連三的打擊下，母親只能終日以泪洗臉。她四處尋找神明，祈求神明轉變逆境。就在絕境中，第四女兒信主了，又持續不斷地為家人祈禱，把耶穌介紹給家人。就這樣，張牧師的家人紛紛信主，連哥哥也在一次唐崇榮牧師的佈道會中决志信主，開始擔起家裡的經濟擔子。她哥哥後來開辦了老人院、孤兒院，收留流浪人士，辦得有聲有色，更獲得十大傑出青年獎。張牧師見證神的祝福臨到家人身上。家人不但信主，更是一個接一個加入全職服侍的行列，成為了牧師。她本人也於今年10月份在澳洲通過網絡，在「空中」被按立為牧師。最後，張牧師發出呼召，帶領會眾决志，相信並接受耶穌進入生命，一起享受從此不一樣的人生。張秀梅牧師在過去幾星期獲邀在灣區五個教會帶領佈道會和音樂訓練，接下來她會繼續前往加拿大，出席兩場的演唱，1月份才回去馬來西亞。被本報記者問及這趟行程的感想，她認為雖然美國是富強的國家，仍然需要福音。她表示，無論到那裡，都需要傳福音，福音的信息都要唱下去。
