Khrih Lungput Neitu Mino

by Rev. Run Cung Mang 

“Nan thinlung put daan cu
Khrih Jesuh ih thinlung put daan vekin si seh!” 
- Filipi 2:5

Thuhmaihruai:
Tuni hi Chin Baptist Association, North America sungtel kawhhran (26) ah “Khrih Lungput Neitu Mino” timi thupi hmangin “CBANA Mino Ni” kan hman tlang thei ni a si ih thuthangtha simnak caan tha ka neih ruangah ka lungawizet.

“Khrih Lungput” kan ti tikah tampi sim ding a um thei. “Nan thinlung put daan cu Khrih Jesuh ih thinlung put daan vekin siseh” timi hi Mirang Bible NIV ah, “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ” ti’n “attitude” a hmang. Ca Thianghlim sirhsan in Lungput daan phun (5) kan zoh khawm pei.

1.    Tangdornak lungput (Humility
Kei cu nunneem le tangdornak thinlung neimi ka si.” (Matt. 11:29) 
Khrih Jesuh ih nun thuanthu kan zirzoi tikah tangdor mi a si zia kan hmu. Amah le amah “Kei cu nunneem le tangdornak thinlung neimi ka si” a ti aw ih, Paul khal in Khrih cu “tangdornak thinlung a nei” a ti (Filipi 2:8). Jesuh cu tangdor mi a si vekin Amah a zumtu pawl tla tangdor mi si dingah in duh. Jesuh in, “Amah le amah a uang awtu cu mi nauta ah tuah a si dingih, lungneem tangdor ih a umtu cu hmaizahnak ngahtu upa ah a cang ding” a ti (Luka 14:11). Paul khal in, “Pakhat le pakhat tangdor awk tonnak thinlung nei uh” (Filipi 2:3) in ti. 
Curuangah tangdornak hi Khrih ih lungput a si ih, Jesuh Khrih cu i Runtu le ka Bawipa a si, a titu zumtu pawl ih kan lungput ding hrimhrim a si. Tangdornak cu colhhahdamnak, Pathian hmin sunlawinak le Pathian ih khaisan mi kan si theinak ding thuhrampi a si. Peter in, “Curuangah a cakmi Pathian hmai ah tangdor tein um uhla amah in caan a kim a ti tikah a lo khaisang leh ding,” a ti (1 Peter 5:6). 
2.   Thuthlun duhnak lungput (Obedience
Pathian thuthlun in thinglamtah thihnak tiangin a tuar.” (Filipi 2:8) 
Khrih Jesuh ih nun thuanthu kan zirzoi tikah thuthlunnak (obedience) a neih zia hi fiang te’n kan hmu thei. A nauhakte lai ihsin thungainak thinlung neimi a si: “Jesuh cu a nu le a pa thawn Nazareth ah an kir ih an thu ngai in a um” (Luka 2:51). Culawng si loin, Gethsemane hmuandum ih thla a cam tikah, “Ka Pa, na lungkimmi a si ahcun hih tuarnak hai hi in laak sak hram aw. Sikhalsehla keimai’ duhnak si loin nangmai’ duhnak vekin si ko seh” tiah a ti (Luka 22:42). 
Curuangah kannih Christian pawl tla kan Bawipa bangin thuthlun duhnak lungput neitu kan si ding a thupizet. Paul in, “Pathian thuthlun in thinglamtah thihnak tiang a tuar,” a ti (Filipi 2:8). Bawipa in thuthlunnak cu raithawinak hnakin a ttha sawn a ti (1 Samuel 15:22).
3.   Mi Zawnruahnak lungput (Compassionate heart
“Miseenpi a hmuh tikah khaaltu nei lo tuu bangtuk in rethei le awloksong ih an um ruangah an parah zaangfahnak tumpi a nei.” (Matt. 9:36) 
Khrih Jesuh ih nun thuanthu kan zirzoi tikah midang zawnruahnak a neih zia kha fiang tein kan hmu thei. “Midang pawl (Others)” timi hi Jesuh ih thlir daan a si ih zumtu cu amah le amah zoh aw loin midang pawl ih ttulsamnak sawn kha hmuitin in a zoh sawn dingmi a si. Jesuh cu midang zawn a ruat, a rian, pum a pe ih Pathian a sunloih. Thukam Thar ah vei (20) lenglo midang zawnruat ih kan nun ding thu in sim. 
Curuangah kannih zumtu pawl tla kan pupa pawl thufim ih a um bangin, “Mai’ hrang cang-ai khorh” si loin “Unau theipum seu” timi thinlungput neitu kan si ding a thupituk. Paul in, “Mi nahsuahnak nei in, mai’ zawn lawng ruat le mai’ hminthannak lawng hawl in um hlah uh. Nanmai’ duhnak lawng si loin midang in an hrangah a thupibik ih an ruahmi kha a hmuh zia thiam ve uh,” a ti (Filipi 2:3, 4). 
4.   Pumpek duhnak lungput (Commitment
Amai’ lungtho te’n a sinak hmuahhmuah a taansan ih hnen-um sinak la tahrat in minung ah a cang.” (Filipi 2:7) 
Khrih Jesuh cu pumpek duhnak thinlung neitu a si. Zawnruahnak hi atak ih pumpeknak le tuan suahnak a um lo ahcun zianghman a tthahnem lo. Jesuh cun miseenpi zawn a ruat ih an hrangah atak in a nunnak a pek a si. Dr. J.H Jowett in, “Pumpeknak tel lo Pathian hnatuannak cun zainghman tisuakmi a nei thei lo (Ministry that costs nothing accomplishes nothing)” a ti. Thluasuah (blessing) a um theinak dingah thiisen suaknak (bleeding) a um ve hrimhrim a ttul. Himi hi Paul ih lungput a si (Filipi 2:17) ih Timothy ih lungput khal a si ve (Filipi 2:20). 
Curuangah zumtu in lo theih lo ih kan neih ve dingmi cu pumpek duhnak lungput hi a si. Pumpeknak lungput a neimi zumtu cun Khrih hrangah tuar ding le ttuan ding a um tikah a hrial dah lo. Pathian sunlawinak le midang tthatnak hrangah a nunnak tiang a pek. Socrate in, “Nangmah le nangmah theithiam aw (know yourself)” a ti, ih Disraeli cun, “Nangmah le nangmah kilkhawi aw (control yourself) a ti, asinan Jesuh cun, “Nangmah le nangmah el awk aw (deny yourself) in ti (Matt. 10:37-39).  
5.   Ttuanvo pitlin duhnak lungput (Loyalty
Hnattuan in pekmi ka ttuan ttheh zo ih na sunlawinak cu leilung ah ka langter zo.” (John 17:4) 
Khrih Jesuh ih nun thuanthu a maksaknakbik hi Pa Pathian ih hnatuan a fialmi ttheh fel duhnak lungput a neihmi hi a si. A nunnak pumhlum ih a hmuitinmi cu Pa Pathian ih hmin sunloih ding lawng hi a si timi a fiangzet. A thlacamnak sungah, “Hnatuan i pekmi ka ttuan ttheh zo,” (John 17:4) a ti ih thinglamtah par ihsin, ‘A kim ttheh zo,” ti’n a au (John 19:30). 
Curuangah zumtu kannih tla Khrih lungput nei in kan liang parih tthummi Khrih le Kawhhran hrangih tuah ding ttuanvo kan neihmi pawl tthehsuak ko ih ttuan duhnak thinlung kan neih ding a thupi. Paul hi Khrih lungput neitu a sinak a langnakbik cu: “Ka duhbikmi le ka hngakhlapzetmi cu ttuanvo ka neihmi hi tuahsuak hram ningla, cule ziangtik caan khalah le ahleice in atufang hrimhrim ahhin ralthatnak thawn khat tahrat in ka nun ah siseh, ka thih ah siseh, ka thinlung ka taksa zate thawn Khrih hi upat hmaihngalnak pe thei ningla ti hi a si,” a timi hi a si (Fililpi 1:20). 
Thunetnak:
“Khrih lungput neih ding” timi hi kanmai’ duhhrilnak neih ding (optional) si loin Pathian thupek, zumtu in lo theih lo ih kan neih dingmi (compulsory) sawn a si. Jesuh Khrih zumtu Christian zo poh, ahleice in tuni hi CBANA YOUTH SUNDAY a si bangin Mino pawl in, tangdornak lungput, thuthlunnak lungput, zawnruahnak lungput, pumpeknak lungput, le ttuanvo tlin duhnak lungput kan neih ding a thupituk.

A parih tarlangmi Khrih ih lungput vek neitu kan si ahcun ziangkim kan tuah le kan ttuannak kipah hlawhtlinnak kan ngah dingih Pathian hmin a sunglawi ding.

Bawipa in thluasuah bawngmal in sawm sak hram seh!

How to Have a More Loving Church, and Why It’s So Vital



One of the most important factors for the growth of your church, of any church, of the kingdom for that matter, is how loving we are as Christians. It’s absolutely essential that we lead our churches to be love-filled communities. It’s love that reaches people. You don’t argue people into the kingdom of heaven. You love them into the kingdom of heaven.
How do you have a loving church? Three steps:
1. Accept everybody.
Have you ever been in a church of spiritual snobs? We get it and you don’t. Do you know why people have a hard time accepting others? They confuse acceptance with approval. There’s a big difference between acceptance and approval. You can accept somebody without approving of his lifestyle. He may be doing something totally contrary to the word of God, but you can accept him as a person without approving of the sin he’s involved in.
Romans 15:7 says, “Accept one another just as Christ accepted you.” That’s a start — acceptance. At Saddleback we are trying to cultivate an attitude of acceptance. At Saddleback, we communicate that the church is a hospital for sinners, not a hotel for saints. If you’re perfect, you don’t belong here. This is a church where people are growing. This is a church for people who don’t have it all together. We have every kind of background you can imagine in this church. We’ve got Catholics, Charismatics, Jews, Buddhists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Assembly of God, Pentecostal, Evangelical Free, nothing and atheists. It doesn’t matter where you’ve been. It matters where you are now and if you know Jesus. If you want to grow up more and become more like Him every day, you’re welcome here.
2. Appreciate everybody.
This goes a little bit further than acceptance. Philippians 2:35 says, “Do nothing from selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourself. Each of you should look not only to your own interest but also the interest of others.” Appreciate everybody. Find something you can like, not just accept. Tell them so. With some people this may require a little creativity. You may have to look a little while. Maybe you just need to value them for their uniqueness. What a boring church we would be if we all shared the same personality!
3. Affirm everybody.
Give everybody a lift whenever you can. I Thess. 5:11 says, “Encourage one another and build each other up.” When people stumble, don’t criticize, sympathize. Be an encourager, not a condemner. You can encourage people just by smiling at them. The ministry of greeters in your church is crucial and vital. You only have one chance to make a first impression. Cover your campus with people who love the Lord and who show it in their faces. Give a welcome handshake, a smile.

Absolutely nothing can stop the church that’s filled with love. Nothing. It doesn’t happen accidentally. It requires an all out effort by each member of your congregation. Everybody needs to contribute to the atmosphere of the church. Love draws outside people in. I believe that God is just waiting for a church that will love people unconditionally. He can use that kind of church to spark a spiritual awakening in your city that all the forces of hell couldn’t stop. It would change the climate of your community for Christ. Nothing can stop a loving church.

To Be Healthy, Focus on Today

Wednesday, April 23, 2014
   






by Rick Warren

“Give us today our daily bread.” (Matthew 6:11 NIV)
Matthew 6:11 says, “Give us today our daily bread” (NIV).
Notice the Bible doesn’t say, “Give us today our weekly bread” or “Give us today our yearly bread.” 
God wants you to trust him one day at a time. You don’t need to be concerned about tomorrow until tomorrow. You don’t need to be concerned about next week until next week.
This means you don’t have to stress about all the future steps necessary to make you Daniel Strong. You just need to focus on what you need to do for today. You can focus on succeeding at the Daniel Plan one day at a time.
Jesus said, “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today” (Matthew 6:34 NLT).
Talk It Over
  What aspects of the Daniel Plan do you tend to worry about? Why do you think that is? How might this be related to trusting God?
  Why do you think God wants you to take it one day at a time?
  Make a list of all your concerns related to your Daniel Plan journey. Now trim the list down to only those things you need to deal with today. Share your concerns, and talk to God about them.
