The financial advice the Lord gives us is that we should not put up security for others (Pr 6:1; 11:15; 17:18; 19:19; 20:16; 22:26-27). These verses are not against generosity, but against overextending one's financial resources and acting in irresponsible ways that could lead to misfortune. God wants us to assist the needy but to cover the costs of every unwise commitment indeed suffers us.

Whether it is wise or safe to co-sign a loan for a relative or trusted friend is a tough decision. We need to be discerning, commit the situation to prayer, and follow the Lord's leading.

Hezekiah sent word to all Israel and Judah and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, inviting them to celebrate the Passover to the Lord. He was devoted to enhancing the spiritual life of his people by telling them not to be stiff-necked as their fathers were.

However, the people in Ephraim and Manasseh, as far as Zebulun scorned and ridiculed about the command. Hezekiah was not discouraged by the lukewarm responses but still prayed for the Lord to pardon them. As a leader, he didn't resort to a severe way to force them, which showed his pleasant and gracious disposition.

大家平安

希西家不只自己是個敬畏神的人,還是一個帶領大家歸向神的好領袖。「王與眾首領」(29:20、30;30:2、12)出現多次,甚至「全會眾商議...」(30:23)看起來希西家是個「能鼓勵大家一起來」的好領袖。

Paul was an apostle and a senior. He should have asked Philemon to treat the fleeing slave with kindness, yet he hoped that Philemon did it out of his spontaneity. Paul said, "…although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, yet I appeal to you on the basis of love"(Phm 8-9). He set a good example in dealing with the argument between Christians.

After Onesimus became a Christian, his relationship with Philemon changed. They were not a master and a slave but brothers. Thus, they were equal in the Lord. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus"(Ga 3:28). How we treat brothers and sisters reflects what attitude we hold toward the Lord.
