狂想曲
在行动管制令（行管令）期间，我
世界中隔离开来，在牧师和众圣徒面前，
发现洗手的频率增加了。这或许是受到传
以及充满爱和包容的氛围里，又藉着三天
媒的影响，尤其是电视台（八度空间），
两夜的信息轰炸，坏习惯总是可以收敛一
总是插播教导人如何正确洗手和戴口罩的
点。至少在营会期间，我们的属灵生命都
公益广告。一天无数次，连续几个月，地
被点燃。如果充电五分钟，可通话两小时，
毯式的思想狂轰滥炸，效果就出来了。此
营会的功用就是把沉睡的心灵挑旺起来，
外，行管令期间的氛围也随着确诊人数不
并且尽可能长久保持这余温。
断攀升而形成一股难以言语的压抑，连打
然而，理想很丰满，现实却很骨感！
喷嚏这么自然的生理反应也不敢像以前那
回到日常生活，无奈的是在营会里被点燃
样放肆了。除了担心遭人白眼以外，还怕
的热忱似乎慢慢在消退，我们很快被打回
自己的大动作而引起恐慌。毕竟这时候的
原形，等待下一次的充电机会。我们多么
公共卫生特别敏感，也特别脆弱，很容易
地期待那一次的充电，自己就永远处于灵
被扣上病毒传播者的帽子。所以，还是谨
性美好状态。但是短暂的营会生活不能带
慎一点，动作轻一点，免得自己成了千古
来持久的改变，生命的塑造更是需要长久
罪人，被人千夫所指。如今回头一看，发
的实践，以及良好的氛围。相对而言，基
现过去自己的卫生坏习惯，能够藉着行管
督徒的团契生活能够延长属灵电池的续航
令的氛围被一一纠正过来，算是意外收获。
力。因为在团契生活里，我们有聚会、敬
撇开个人与神的关系，倘若基督徒
拜、祷告、学习，还有彼此监督、教导和

劝勉；这是主基督为祂自己的肢体（教会）
正我们不爱读经、祷告的习惯，并且藉着
所建立的生活模式。团契生活缩短现实与
肢体之间频密的被提醒、被鼓励、被教导，
属灵之间的距离，是基督徒的保护伞和支

营也有类似的功能，营会把我们从喧闹的
固定的团契生活具有更持久的属灵续航力。

Rhapsody
During this Movement Control Order (MCO) period, I noticed that I’ve been washing my hands more frequently. This is probably due to the influence of the media, especially the television channels (8TV), which repeatedly broadcast public service advertisements that teach on how to wash hands and wear masks correctly. This kind of mental bombardment has eventually made an effect. On the other hand, as the confirmed cases arose, I also sensed an indescribable uneasy atmosphere being formed, so much so that sneezing, which was supposed to be a normal biological reaction, has become a sensitive act during this period. Everyone is afraid to be labeled as a virus carrier. Therefore, it's better to be more cautious with our sneezing action in order to avoid offensive remarks from others. Nevertheless, as I look back, I realized that many of my bad sanitization habits have been corrected during this tense MCO period. This is an unexpected gain to me. In the same way, as for our personal relationship with God, would it be possible to also change our habits of not praying and reading the bible through constant reminders, encouragement and teaching from our brothers and sisters in Christ? If so, it would be beneficial to our spiritual lifestyle. I think church camps have a similar function. By isolating us from the bustling world, we come together into an atmosphere filled with love and tolerance, surrounded by Godly
people and deluged with messages for the whole 3 days and 2 nights, our bad habits would certainly be reduced. Thus, our spiritual life would once again be reignited. The function of camp is to revive and recharge our drained spiritual condition so that we could keep burning for Christ as long as possible. However, our expectations don't always match up with reality. After coming back to the real world, the 'Godly' people in camp would soon be reversing to their old selves and would struggle hard to keep the flame until the next spiritual recharge. The short camp life would not be able to sustain us for a prolonged spiritual transformation. The rebuilding of life needs a conducive atmosphere and there has to be a continuous practice of our faith. In this case, Christian’s fellowship plays a better role in sustaining and prolonging our spiritual life. During the fellowshipping of brothers and sisters, we gather together, worship, pray, learn, and at the same time we also teach, encourage and keep each other accountable. This is a spiritual model that was implemented to the church by Christ. Fellowship shortens the distance between the real and the ideal spiritual lifestyle. It supports and protects Christians from temptations and worldly influences. Although church camp or 'spiritual MCO' is necessary, the constant fellowshipping with one another has a prolonged effect in maintaining our spiritual lifestyle as a whole.
