我们活在一个非常关注社会议题的时代。特别随着互联网的开启,每个人都能够很直接的得着资讯情报,且同时发表言论。因这个的缘故,社会动态、社会福利、社会权利、社会正义等,都是我们现代人很关注的议题。因此我们看见近年来,社会议题真是影响,甚至惹动许多人心。这两周我们会看见美国有一位黑人被几名警察误杀,全国因此卷起种族暴动。上周我们也看见中国因为在香港再次施行进一步的安全法,香港示威活动又再次兴起来。中美贸易战争也引起人纷纷议论,有些信徒且问说自己应该在此有何立场。当然,同性恋、堕胎、女权、帮助穷人等这类的议题且是教会一直都在关注的。这些议题对我们这个满有社会意识的世代来说带有切身实在的关系。教会若对这些议题不在乎,也没有立场的话,那教会就会渐渐被淘汰,且不切实际。但是若教会过度对这些议题关注,且卷入其中,那教会就会陷入一种“失去天国的关注”的危机。教会讲台也就慢慢被这些议题占据。基督所赐纯正的救赎福音也就会变质为社会福音。因此渐渐的,一个世代的社会与福音、政治与教会就会产生一种“太过靠近”的不寻常关系。我们要晓得这就是其中一种“敌基督”的潜在工作。敌基督是不能抹杀基督在十字架的救赎,也不能废去基督所带来的真理。但是它潜在的工作(上周所说的)是透过政治影响、经济繁荣、宗教共存来将教会引到一种对福音模糊不清的理念。社会议题,也一定会成为敌基督用来取代信徒对福音的关注的其中一个工具。那时,我们就会看见教会的讲台是将人带到社会议题,而不是福音。即便教会仍然会拿着圣经传讲福音,但是社会议题还是占据了福音的宣讲。传道人带出社会议题的立场是充满热诚与肯定,但传讲出来的福音却是淡如白水。渐渐的,福音在教会的地位就会移到后座,主的群羊就会瘦弱,圣徒之间就会因社会议题而结党,不是因福音而合一。确实,这是这么容易发生的事情,但也是当今许多教会已经掉入的陷阱。倘若我们今天打开社交媒体,会看见很多信徒都在里头激励发表他们的政治、经济、社会立场等。他们很在乎人权,或是国家怎么帮助平穷的人。他们对种族歧视很有看法。他们在同性恋的事上争得你死我活。当然,我们信徒是应当坚定地保守有些圣经原则带给我们的立场。但试问我们信徒有否对人的罪的问题感到这么迫切?我们是否对错谬的福音感到焦虑?我们是否对神的荣耀如此在乎?有时,我们有否想过当我们帮助了这世界的穷人之后,要怎么将他们从罪所带来真正的平穷而走出来?我们证明了一个政权是专制与腐败的,之后要怎样呢?要改朝换代吗?要怂恿更多人示威吗?还是我们应该设想怎么向这政权和他属下的人传那真正将人从罪恶拯救出来的福音?这就如同使徒们从来没有在圣经里卷入政治议题,反倒将那拯救人灵魂,也是天上的福音讲明。其实,我们不难从一个人的终极关心与所愿看得出他对福音的认识。教会在历史历代的使命有两个。一就是要守护福音的纯净度;二就是要传那救人灵魂的福音。马丁路德说:“如果我们清楚与勇敢的传讲福音,一定会受逼迫”。可能我们先是被走偏的教会逼迫,之后再会被利益受威胁的外邦人逼迫。但若我们传的福音充满着社会议题,或是要提倡我们的政治立场,我们被逼迫,那是罪有应得。
We live in an era that pays close attention to social issues. Especially with the advent of the Internet, everyone can get information and news directly, and at the same time give their comments. For this reason, social dynamics, social welfare, social rights, social justice, etc. are all topics that we modern people are very concerned about. Therefore, we have seen that in recent years, social issues have indeed affected and even stirred the hearts of many people. In the past two weeks, we saw how the whole of America erupted into racial protests due to a black man being accidentally killed by a few policemen. Last week, we also saw demonstrations in Hong Kong rising up again due to China’s implementation of further security law in Hong Kong. The Sino-US trade war also sparked off various discussions, and some believers asked what position they should take in those situations. Of course, the church has always been concerned about issues such as homosexuality, abortion, feminism, helping the poor, etc. For a socially-conscious generation, these issues have a relationship with our real immediate concerns. If the church does not care about these issues and also does not take a position, then the church will gradually become obsolete and impractical. But if the church pays too much attention and gets embroiled in these issues, then the church will fall into a crisis of “losing the concerns of the heavenly kingdom.” The church pulpit will gradually be taken over by these issues. The pure gospel given by Christ for salvation will also become a social gospel. So gradually, an abnormal and “much-too-close” relationship will develop between society and gospel, politics and church in this generation. We must know that this is one form of hidden works of the "antichrist". The antichrist cannot destroy the redemptive work of Christ on the cross, nor can it abolish the truth brought by Christ. But its latent work (as mentioned last week) is to lead the church to a distorted ideology of the gospel through political influence, financial prosperity, and co-existence of religions. Social issues will certainly become one of the tools used by the antichrist to replace believers' focus on the gospel. At that time, we will see that the church pulpit will bring people to social issues but not the gospel. Even though the church still preaches the gospel using the Bible, social issues take over the preaching of the gospel. The preacher is full of enthusiasm and certainty when bringing out social issues but when the gospel is preached, it is as diluted as water. Gradually, the status of the gospel in the church will be moved to the back seat, the sheep of the Lord will become weak, and the saints will be divided because of social issues and not be united because of the gospel. Indeed, this can happen so easily, but it is also a trap that many churches have fallen into today. If we look at social media today, we will see that over there, many believers are actively expressing their positions on political, economic, social, etc., issues. They care about human rights, or how the country helps the poor. They are very opinionated on racial discrimination. They argue fiercely over matters on homosexuality. Of course, we believers should firmly maintain some positions based on biblical principles. But think about it, do we believers feel very compelled by the Spirit because of the problem of human sin? Do we feel anxious about the false and distorted gospel? Do we care so much about the glory of God? Sometimes, after offering immediate help, have we ever thought about how we can really help the poor in this world walk out of the real poverty brought about by sin? After we have proven that a regime is authoritarian and corrupt, what do we want to do? Do we want to substitute the old regime with a new one? Do we want to encourage more people to go into protests? Or do we try to think of ways to preach the gospel that truly saves people from sin, to this governing regime and its people? This is like how the apostles in the Bible never got involved in political issues. Instead, they spoke clearly the gospel from heaven to save the souls of men. In fact, from a person’s ultimate concern and desire, it is not difficult to see how much he understands the gospel. In the whole of history, the church has two missions. One is to protect the purity of the gospel; the second is to preach the gospel of saving souls. Martin Luther said, “If we preach the gospel clearly and courageously, we will certainly be persecuted.” Perhaps we will first be persecuted by churches that have gone astray, then by the pagans whose interests are threatened. But if we are persecuted because the gospel we preach is full of social issues, or is used to promote our political stance, then this is our just deserts.
