Blind Leading the Blind – Where Is the Church Going?
当今世代，假师傅、假先知层出不穷。
In today’s world, there are many false teachers and prophets.
他们善于包装自己，表面敬虔，内里败坏；
They look holy on the outside, but inside they are full of sin.
他们洗净杯子的外面，里面却充满了勒索与放荡（马太福音 23:25）。
They clean the outside of the cup, but inside are greed and evil. (Matthew 23:25)
他们讲安逸的信息，避开十字架的道路；
They teach only comfort, and avoid the way of the cross.
他们传人的道理，却弃绝神的真理。
They teach man’s ideas, but reject God’s truth.
他们是瞎眼的领路人，却自称为光明的使者；
They are blind guides, but say they bring light.
是瞎子领瞎子，结果是自己和跟随者一同跌入坑里（马太福音 15:14）。
They lead others into a pit with them. (Matthew 15:14)
他们让听众是非不分、好歹不识，连基本的属灵常识都没有了。
Their followers cannot tell right from wrong, and lose even simple truth.
他们使教会失去了方向，也使基督徒成为世人的笑柄，被轻看、被讥讽。
They make the church lose its way, and people mock Christians.
在这样的光景下，教会和信徒本应挺身而出，作光作盐；
In this time, the church should rise and be salt and light.
然而，今日的教会却不再见义勇为，
But today, the church no longer stands up for what is right.
不再为义受苦，不再持守真道，不再责备罪恶。
It no longer suffers for truth or speaks against sin.
许多基督徒不再宣讲悔改的信息，
Many Christians stop preaching repentance,
不再传扬十字架的福音，
and stop sharing the gospel of the cross.
只讲讨人喜欢的言语，迎合世界的口味，
They only say nice words to please the world,
只顾自身的安逸与安全。
and care about their own comfort and safety.
更令人痛心的是，“分别为圣”这一圣经的教训，
Even worse, the Bible’s teaching of “being holy”
竟被某些教会错误地解释为“远离世界”、“放弃社会责任”。
is wrongly taught as staying away from the world and not caring for others.
他们以“属灵”为名，避谈公义、冷漠贫弱、漠视苦难、回避责任。
They say they are spiritual, but avoid justice, ignore the poor, and turn away from pain and duty.
他们把信仰圈在教堂四堵墙内，
They keep faith inside church walls,
却不在公共领域作光作盐，不在社会中见证真理。
but do not shine in the world or speak truth in public.
这样的“分别”，不是圣洁，而是逃避；
This kind of “separation” is not holy—it is escape.
不是荣耀神，而是背弃使命。
It does not honor God—it gives up our mission.
主说：“你们是世上的盐，盐若失了味，只能丢在外面，被人践踏。”（马太福音 5:13）
The Lord says: “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, it is thrown away and walked on.” (Matthew 5:13)
今日的教会，是否正处于被人践踏、被神管教的光景？
Is today’s church being trampled and disciplined by God?
主的儿女们，当悔改归回，重新站立。
God’s children, repent and stand again.
要传讲纯正的福音，不惧世人；
Preach the true gospel. Do not fear people.
要为真理争战，不畏代价；
Fight for truth. Do not fear the cost.
要分别为圣，却不脱离责任；
Be holy, but do not run from duty.
要分别为圣，却更敢于面对黑暗、行出光明。
Be holy, and shine light into the darkness.
因为主快来了，我们当警醒，忠心守望，直到主再来。
The Lord is coming soon. Be watchful and faithful, until He returns.
