Deeper enjoyment of Bible Reading Time – Penny Ng

I have had the practice of trying to think of related Bible verses during the worship in meetings for some time, as this helps me to enjoy the worship deeper, and the contents feel more solid with God’s words. Because now I’m joining worship teams at home, I can go to the Bible to look up the verse(s) right after the worship to continue to enjoy God’s word, and have my personal worship time with Him. The Bible reading phone sing helps me to learn how to enter into the Bible verses more by reading 1 or 2 verses, and

“Phone Sing” Worship Team 齊來拜一拜 Testimonials #13

這段日子是我人生中用網絡和電話與人交談最多的時間。 現在中午,特別給金鑽的弟兄姊妹開了一場齊來唱詩敬拜(Phone Sing)時段。在這短短的廿十分鐘裏,我就能夠跟三十多位哥哥姐姐一起敬拜。因為他們都很踴躍,很多表達,所以就要學習短短的,只透過一至兩句的說話來敬拜和回應。他們都掌握到留心聽弟兄姊妹的禱告,並由衷的作出回應。 這段日子,雖然不能與弟兄姊妹見面,但心靈卻能夠與他們很近。弟兄姊妹阿,我要對你們說:「從你們的聲音中,我也聽出你們是很快樂。」 Sun 這個星期,多教導了年長的弟兄姊妹透過網絡和電話進入Zoom來參加聚會。(這裏我不得不多謝這些哥哥姐姐的家人,是他們幫助安裝Zoom app的。) 從幫助他們慢慢的將號碼抄錄下來,解釋撥打或連接的每一步,以及反覆的練習,主使我心中很深體會祂所愛的是誰。主是這樣幫助我去愛祂所愛的。 教導哥哥姐姐使用這些網絡工具是很難的。他們一般都不常用電話,甚至連電話的操作也不太懂。但他們一步步學習的時候,我感覺他們真的很有耐性。縱然,除了參加聚會和電話敬拜之外,這個軟件對他們來說不太有用,但他們也是很耐心的去學習。讓我看見他們很渴慕聚會。這很感動我的心。 正如Sun所說,我們增設的12點時段裏,年長的弟兄姊妹很踴躍打電話進來。他們很想一起回應主,一起透過唱詩敬拜主,與弟兄姊妹的心更能連在一起。這很鼓勵我的心,我也更明白主的愛。 桂娥 今天在Phone Sing Worship(豐盛齊來敬拜)中,我一邊唱著「定睛望天」,一邊真的望著天空,感受主很大同在。我體會在這艱難的環境中,主是在天上掌權的。而且祂的心渴想我,與我很近,最在意我。祂提升我,使我能用天上的眼光,看地上的事。 國榮

In Phone Sing, we sing songs and pray, read the Bible, learn Chinese, and, at the end, we turn on our videos to see each other’s faces. What I learned from Phone Sing is to “preset” and prepare myself before the Lord. I “preset” by praying to the Lord to help me how to enjoy the worship. I also cleared out my stuff (toys/books) from my desk to help me focus
