副题：只讲荣光、不讲责任的教会，正在削弱社会的是非感
Subtitle: A church that speaks only of glory and never of duty is dulling society’s sense of right and wrong

教会不是私人俱乐部，也不是只负责给人安慰的服务机构。它站在社区中间，开口所讲、手中所传，会塑造一群人怎样看待罪与义、真与假、责任与放纵。一条正确的路，能把人带向敬畏、悔改和秩序；一条含糊的路，也能让人在宗教语言里渐渐失去分辨。
A church is not a private club, nor a service that exists only to comfort. It stands in the middle of a community. What it preaches and what it passes on will shape how people see sin and righteousness, truth and falsehood, duty and license. A true path leads toward reverence, repentance and order. A vague path can make people lose discernment while still speaking religious words.

今日不少教会最危险的，不是完全不提圣经，而是避重就轻。讲台上乐于谈论基督的荣光、神的爱、合一与包容，却不愿同时讲罪、审判、悔改，以及作门徒必须承担的责任。经文被剪下来排列，配上温暖的标题，最后落成一句人人都难以反对的话。听起来正确，却把圣经里最有重量的部分切掉了。
The greatest danger in many churches today is not that the Bible is never mentioned, but that it is lightened. The pulpit is glad to speak of Christ’s glory, God’s love, unity and inclusion, yet unwilling at the same time to speak of sin, judgment, repentance, and the duty of a disciple. Verses are clipped and arranged under warm titles, until they become a sentence no one can easily oppose. It sounds right, and the heaviest parts of Scripture have been cut away.

这种讲法对个人是麻醉，对社会是削弱。一个不敢面对是非的教会，很难培养出敢于面对是非的民众。当“爱”变成掩盖问题的借口，“合一”变成禁止提问的口号，羊群就会越来越糊涂：好坏可以混，真假可以混，责任可以推，立场可以模糊，只要气氛还在、句子还对。
For the individual this preaching is an anesthetic; for society it is a weakening. A church that will not face right and wrong will not raise a people who will. When “love” becomes a cover for problems, and “unity” a slogan that forbids questions, the flock grows confused: good and evil may mix, truth and falsehood may mix, duty may be pushed aside, and a stand may stay vague—so long as the mood remains and the sentences still sound correct.
圣经并没有把爱和圣洁拆开。神的挽回从来不是纵容。先知书里既有追回，也有管教；既有应许，也有后果。若教会只把“神仍然爱你”讲成全部真理，人就会误以为信仰只是享受荣光，而不是被召出来、被改变、在世上行义。
Scripture does not split love from holiness. God’s reclaiming is never indulgence. The prophets speak of return and of discipline, of promise and of consequence. If a church treats “God still loves you” as the whole truth, people will take faith as enjoying glory, not as being called out, changed, and sent to do what is right.
基督徒应当爱教会。但这句话有前提：先识别所爱的是不是主的教会，所听的是不是主的道。教会有真有假，讲台有忠心也有偏离。爱不是关掉分辨。把所有自称教会的地方都当成不可质疑的家，最后受伤的往往是最单纯的人，受影响的则是整片社区的风气。
Christians ought to love the church. That sentence has a condition: first see whether what is loved is the Lord’s church, and whether what is heard is the Lord’s word. Churches are true and false; pulpits are faithful and they also stray. Love does not mean switching off discernment. Treat every place that calls itself a church as an unquestionable home, and the ones hurt are usually the simplest people; what is affected is the air of a whole community.
识别并不玄妙，至少应看几件硬的事：
Discernment is not mysterious. At least look at a few hard things:
- 是否把神的话讲全，而不只是用经文点缀主题
- Whether the whole word of God is preached, not merely used to decorate a theme
- 是否既讲神的爱，也讲罪、悔改与责任
- Whether God’s love is preached together with sin, repentance and duty
- 是否以基督和真理为中心，而不是以机构、族群或流行口号为中心
- Whether Christ and the truth are the center, not an institution, an ethnic group or a fashionable slogan
- 在大是大非上有没有界限，还是一律用“爱”和“合一”盖过去
- Whether there is a boundary on great matters of right and wrong, or whether “love” and “unity” are used to cover everything

教会可以成为社区的光，使人看见正道；也可以成为迷雾，使人在正确词语里走错路。正因如此，教会所宣扬的内容对不对，绝不是内部小事。它会影响家庭、邻里、公共生活，也会影响一代人还敢不敢分辨好坏。
A church can be light in a community, showing the right path. It can also be fog, sending people down the wrong road inside correct words. That is why whether a church’s message is true is not a private matter. It touches families, neighbors and public life, and it touches whether a generation still dares to tell good from evil.
今日最需要的，不是更多让人舒服的句子，而是把是非重新讲清楚。能辨，才谈得上真信；能分，才谈得上真爱。
What is needed today is not more comfortable sentences, but a clear word about right and wrong. Without discernment there is no true faith; without distinction there is no true love.
