From 65438 to 0979, the old preacher began to regularly lead young people to learn scriptures, organize weddings and funerals, provide counseling, and help young believers solve various problems. The old missionary is impressive in two ways. First, ask your saved witness. After listening to your testimony, I feel that you have not repented, so I will let you go back and continue praying. Some people say it three or five times before they can pass. Second, if someone wants to serve full-time, it must be confirmed by scripture. Third, this is an example of their holy life and suffering. I've never seen them lie once. They keep their promises. Life is hard, but I never hint at other people's economic needs. Respond to the needs of young people. Old servants often say that suffering should be used as a weapon, otherwise there will be no fighting capacity. Fourth, they pray a lot, praying more every morning, and they have a close relationship with God, which is the kind of intimacy that can be felt.
2. Shandong Peninsula Church, represented by Qingdao Church, was influenced by the family of Jesus.
A servant of the church in Qingdao recalled the continuous revival of the church in Qingdao: first, faced with wrong ideas and heresy, he began to consult the Bible. In the late 1970s, he faced a heresy and thought that he could know when the Lord would come again through strange dreams and visions. Secondly, the churches began to contact each other. Qingdao has a lot of contact with the surrounding rural churches, and Qingdao has influenced the surrounding rural areas in terms of doctrinal truth. His father invited many preachers to the countryside to lead the Bible study. These two factors led to the large-scale revival of the entire peninsula in the 1980s. The revival of Shandong Peninsula has several characteristics. First, focus on prayer and charity. Know the scriptures and make them, emphasize self-sacrifice and good deeds, and live the word of the Lord. Second, the revival of the church must begin with confession. If you offend your brothers, you must apologize to your face. If a brother is guilty, blame him for repentance; if he is guilty, repent in front of everyone. The third lecture deals with the evil deeds of using the cross to deal with the body, to deal with yourself and to kill your body. Fourth, saints love each other and are willing to lay down their lives for each other. Everyone passed it on to each other like fire. Fifth, I am willing to put myself on the table, dedicate my family and open my family. Sixth, bear hardships and give up on yourself. His father always talks about the cross: if he dies, others will live; Die by yourself and teach yourself to live.
The church gathering with Jesus' family background has few sermons and many witnesses, mainly speaking and singing scriptures and poems, especially poems, as well as some key verses and some victory witnesses. This is the characteristic of their party. Many poems are sung, especially the poems 15, 19, 27, 34, 42, 43, 32, 5 1 etc. And some poems in the New Testament are sung, such as Matthew 16:24 and John 15. At that time, I felt that singing many times was not enough. The more I sing, the more capable I become. This Tao has become a living Tao, and my heart has been watered. There is a tradition in Jesus' family that listening to sermons is about taste, but it is actually about feeling.
From Qingdao church to Pingdu church, people attach great importance to communication, and young and middle-aged co-workers have contact. At that time, many saints all over the country were willing to accept brothers and sisters. The older generation thinks so: "Deification has abolished the position except social boundaries. They love each other as a group and belong to the same shepherd." This sentence was compiled into a song and sung everywhere on the peninsula. Brothers and sisters are very kind when they meet, and they are reluctant to part after the party. They love each other spiritually, remember each other in prayer, and miss each other after parting. There is a song like this: "I miss my compatriots, tears are like rain, I want to cry without tears, and the love of the Lord is overflowing." When they receive their brothers and sisters, they don't want to eat or drink, but they give the guests food. A village often receives five or six hundred people as soon as it receives them, and everyone competes for reception. At that time, the people of the church in the city went to the countryside for a party and were very moved to see the love of their brothers and sisters, so they strengthened themselves and joined the Ministry when they came back.
When they break bread, brothers and sisters will kneel and pray for hours. Deacons who share bread and cups will encourage brothers and sisters to be strong, enthusiastic and love each other, and encourage them to eat and drink bread and cups in the future. Jesus' family church attaches great importance to prayer, and their prayer will be a prayer of fasting for ten days, especially during the slack season. I prayed for a long time, kneeling all the time. From morning till night, everyone practiced an iron knee. Many people get up at five o'clock and pray for their families, churches and all saints from young to old.
Later, they also realized their own problem, that is, they didn't pay enough attention to the truth, so they were easily attacked by heretics. They began to look up the Bible slowly, but their acceptance of theology was a little slow.
3. The revival of churches in other regions.
In addition, the representative revival of family churches in China also includes the revival of meeting places, the revival of Henan churches, the revival of Fujian family churches, the revival of churches in northern Anhui and Wuwei, and the revival of Wuyuan churches in Inner Mongolia. One of the characteristics of the Henan Association is to emphasize the spread of the gospel, just as Xiao Min said in his poem that he has a heart for the world and the universe. They think that Henan is Jerusalem, China is all the land of Judea, and ethnic minorities and overseas Chinese are Samaria, and then go to the ends of the earth. The revival of family churches in Fujian is mainly influenced by Presbyterian Church, among which Reformed Church is the strongest, and one of its characteristics is to attach importance to theological education.
The second part talks about the understanding of the revival and spiritual inheritance of China family churches from the New Testament.
On the characteristics of the revival of family churches from the perspective of Acts.
The author mainly evaluates the revival and spiritual inheritance of the family church from several volumes of the New Testament. First of all, from the perspective of Acts, what is the revival of the apostle period and the four factors needed to maintain the long-term revival.
The revival of the Apostolic Age is because Christ achieved salvation by suffering and dying for us. He rose from the dead and ascended to heaven. The apostles waited for the arrival of the Holy Spirit at the Kyle Tower and prayed persistently. Later, they experienced Pentecost when the Holy Spirit filled them and spread the gospel under pressure. The revival of the apostles has a prominent feature. In the process of revival, suffering and preaching, the Holy Spirit deeply branded the life of Christ on them, and thoroughly repented in the union with Christ. The revival of the house church basically followed this path. First of all, servants suffer and are persecuted in the name of the Lord, and believers wait for the revival given by God in prayer. From the end of 1960s to the end of 1990s, the church in China experienced a 30-year revival. Believers experienced repentance and spread the gospel greatly under pressure. In the 1980s, there was contact between churches. Usually, churches in an area contact each other and become a whole.
