愛的凱歌 (Adore Him)恩典大過我罪("Grace Greater than Our Sin")Hi, 各位聽眾朋友們，平安！歡迎收聽愛的凱歌(Adore Him)，我是Judy。今天 和大家分享聖詩〈恩典大過我罪〉(“Grace Greater than Our Sin”) 。 在1870年代初期，一位住在芝加哥的青年，他的名字為David Caleb Cook。身為主日學老師，他對兒童基督教教育一直有很大的熱情與使命。走在路上只要看到小朋友，就會邀請他們到教會參加主日學。在教學過程中，有鑒於主日學教材的貧乏或者教材中有些內容的不恰當，David Caleb Cook於是自己開始著手寫主日學課程。為了方便作業，他就在父親開設的印刷店中工作。每次寫完一個教案，就直接在自家經營的印刷店中印刷教材；每次他都多印幾份，帶去教會和其他的主日學老師分享。1875年，他以自己的名字成立了David C. Cook出版社。 隨著時間推進，David Caleb Cook經營的出版社也開始和其他的基督徒作家合作；Julia H. Johnston 就是其中一位。Julia H. Johnston不僅僅是位作家，也接手管理由母親創辦的宣教機構。她也投入主日學的教學長達四十年。Julia H. Johnston撰寫的許多主日學課程，都透過David C. Cook 出版社發行。除了是作家、主日學老師、宣教機構執行長的身分，Julia H. Johnston也從事聖詩的創作。她一生創作約五百首聖詩。今天和大家介紹的聖詩〈恩典大過我罪〉(“Grace Greater than Our Sin”)的詩詞，就是她創作的。在默想與查考羅馬書第五、第六章這兩章的聖經經文後，為見證神奇妙慈愛的恩典，她寫下了〈恩典大過我罪〉(“Grace Greater than Our Sin”)的詩詞。 在Julia H. Johnston創作這首聖詩的詩詞後，不久，Daniel B. Towner為這首聖詩譜曲。Daniel B. Towner小時便開始學習音樂，也曾接受作曲家George Root的訓練。George Root就是和素有聖詩皇后之稱的芬妮長期合作、一同創作聖詩的作曲家。Daniel B. Towner原本是在紐約(New York)、俄亥俄州(Ohio)、肯塔基州(Kentucky)這些地方的不同教會服事，擔任詩班指揮與輔導。後來他搬到芝加哥，接受Dwight L. Moody的邀請，在穆迪聖經學院的音樂系服事。也就是從那時起，他得以出版許多創作的聖詩。據估計，他一生創作約兩千多首的聖詩曲調，並出版14本的聖詩。其中的一本聖詩—Hymns Tried and True—於1911年出版，並在當中向世人介紹聖詩〈恩典大過我罪〉(“Grace Greater than Our Sin”)。Daniel B. Towner將這首聖詩的曲調命名為Moody，一方面是記念他與Dwight L. Moody之間一同服事神的關係；另一方面也表達他與穆迪聖經學院的連結。 今天和大家介紹的聖詩〈恩典大過我罪〉(“Grace Greater than Our Sin”)，其中除了提到創作這首詩詞與曲調的作者，也提到了相關的人物，例如佈道家也是穆迪聖經學院的創辦人Dwight L. Moody、出版社創辦人David Caleb Cook，以及幫助Daniel B. Towner在創作音樂上成長的George Root。 這些歷史上的人物，雖來自不同的背景與經歷，但他們都被神奇妙的恩典大能所觸摸與得著。他們忠心信實地在各自的崗位上，按著神給個人不同的恩賜，以文字、口說、音樂、歌唱等等多樣的形式，口唱心和且不斷地向世人傳揚一個共同的信息：神奇妙的恩典。 而時間來到二十一世紀的今日，美國現代作曲家Sandra Zystra，將聖詩〈恩典大過我罪〉(“Grace Greater than Our Sin”)改編為雙鋼琴曲，並且以這首聖詩第一節的第一句作為這首雙鋼琴曲的標題。標題為：Marvelous Grace of Our Loving Lord。 節目的資訊欄有聖詩〈恩典大過我罪〉(“Grace Greater than Our Sin”)中、英文歌詞的對照。在今天節目的尾聲，邀請您一同來聆聽這首以聖詩〈恩典大過我罪〉(“Grace Greater than Our Sin”)改編的雙鋼琴曲Marvelous Grace of Our Loving Lord。願我們一同領受慈愛的神奇妙的恩典，因祂的恩典大過我們的罪。我們下次見！ ❤️ We welcome feedback and comments: https://open.firstory.me/story/clrq2cwjl01k401v51igm6r6f?m=comment ❤️ 愛的凱歌 Adore Him: https://he-is-the-one-we-adore.firstory.io/ --------------------------------------------------------- ✏️ Marvelous Grace of Our Loving Lord From Sunday Worship For Two Piano Duets, Volume 1 雙鋼琴編曲｜Arranged by: Sadran Zylstra 演奏｜Performed by Judy Lin and Vivien Lin 混音＆後製｜Sound Mixing & Mastering by Vivien Lin 詞｜Words by Julia H. Johnston 曲｜Music by Daniel E. Towner 1 Marvelous grace of our loving Lord, Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt! Yonder on Calvary's mount out-poured– There where the blood of the Lamb was spilt. Refrain: Grace, grace, God's grace, Grace that will pardon and cleanse within; Grace, grace, God's grace, Grace that is greater than all our sin! 1 慈愛主滿有奇妙宏恩，宏恩遠超我罪孽衍尤， 各各他山上寶血流渗，羔羊之血能洗淨罪咎。 (副歌) 真神恩典，能赦免我罪，淨洗內心，真神 恩
2025-03-0711 minScience Straight UpChromatin: Your DNA in a PackageThe double helix structure of DNA discovered in 1953 explained the basic mechanism for how our genetic information can be inherited through replication. But, we've since found that those genes have on/off switches. Understanding how our genes are turned on and off has been complicated partly due to the compacting of DNA with proteins (the histones) into chromatin. Dr. Song Tan has spent years studying chromatin using advanced imaging technology and he and his colleagues have made some big discoveries looking at molecular sized objects. He is joined by Mark Kozak, Executive Director of Telluride Science and by Dr. Ri...
2024-11-1324 minScience Straight UpCan we opt out of Aging?Mankind has long searched for the fountain of youth. Recent studies indicate that both immunological and global aging processes can be reversed in humans now using repurposed medicines that are known to be safe. The key is the thymus, the center of your adaptive immune system, which withers starting at puberty but can be fanned back to life even after the age of 60. It turns out that a side effect of restoring your immune system is the reversal of the most reliable indices of generalized aging. Dr. Greg Fahy says he has a recipe for restoring the thymus, although he...

But clean energy often has its own environmental costs. The risks posed by nuclear reactors and mining lithium for batteries are well known, but our speaker, Dr. Peter Ladwig, a materials scientist, is working on another aspect of the problem: dirty magnets used in the electric motors that power green transportation.

2024-10-0422 minScience Straight UpMethane: Supercharging Nature's Solution to Reverse Climate ChangeMethane is a greenhouse gas that's 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide. And unvortunately, methane concentrations in our atmosphere are rapidly increasing. Yet, methane may also offer a potential climate solution. With a much shorter half-life than CO2, reductions in methane pack a punch. Dr. Jessica Swanson has a plan to use methane-eating bacteria called methanotrophs to do just that. A side benefit, she says, is that once the bacteria have gobbled up all the methane they can hold, they can be turned into useful products, like feed for animals or plastics. Dr. Swanson spoke at one of the "To...

Some of those carried materials necessary for life to emerge.

Plants use light and water and air to grow through the process of photosynthesis.

That fuel would be carbon neutral because we would be pulling CO2 out ot the air to manufacture it. She says this would be part of a portfolio of green solutions to man-made climate change that threatens the future of our planet. Dr Yang spoke at a "town talk" sponsored by Telluride Science.
