昨天我们结束时提到，若要寻求脱离疑惑的恶性循环，第一件应该做的事情是进入神的殿。诗人思想到自己的行动会给弟兄姊妹带来负面影响，他借着这个考虑阻止自己跌倒，然后他进一步的行动就是到圣所与他们众人见面。

无论是大教堂或小茅屋，只要能够与基督徒弟兄姊妹聚在一起都是很美好的事情。重要的不是那个地方，而是我们在那里找到救赎和医治的团契。我们往往借着坐在弟兄姊妹中间，感受到大家的温暖和爱，这是这种医治的力量使我们得到释放。一位著名的讲员说：「单单只是进入神殿的大门，我就能够在千百次的『灵魂的腮腺炎和麻疹』中释放出来。」

为甚么身处在其他信徒中间，就能够得到帮助和鼓励？原因是──其他信徒确确实实是在那里。你知道吗？当我们处于个人的哀伤和疑惑中的时候，我们很容易以为基督教信仰只是一般，不值得我们继续相信下去，但是当我们进入了神的殿，看到其他信徒走在一起的时候，我们的疑惑往往就会消失。我们会不自觉的告诉自己：「既然这些人认为基督徒生命是值得继续追寻的，那么我的怀疑显然有错误，因为这当中肯定有一些极有价值的东西存在。」

Yesterday we ended with the thought that the very first thing we ought to do when seeking to break out of the vicious circle of doubt is to go to the house of God. The psalmist has been prevented from falling by considering the consequences of his actions upon his brethren, so now his next step is to go and meet with them in the sanctuary.

Whether it be in a cathedral or a cottage, how wonderful it is to join with Christian brothers and sisters. It is not so much the place that is important as the redeeming and healing fellowship we find there. Oftentimes people find release just by sitting down among their brothers and sisters and feeling the healing power of their warmth and love. One famous preacher said: "The house of God has delivered me from the mumps and measles of the soul' a thousand times and more - merely by entering its doors."

What is it about being among our fellow believers that is so helpful and encouraging? One thing is the very fact that our fellow believers are there. You see, in our private misery and perplexity we could easily run away with the idea that there is nothing very much in the Christian faith after all, and that it is not worth our going on. But when we enter into the Lord's house and see our fellow believers coming together, often our doubts disappear. We say to ourselves, albeit unconsciously: "Here are people who think the Christian life is worth continuing with. My uncertainties must be wrong - there must be something in it after all."
