匿名
金句: 「智慧人的口说出恩言。」 （传道书10章12节）
有人说，匿名是懦夫最后的堡垒。从我所收到匿名的邮件及评论看来，这句话我是赞同的。有些人以匿名或假冒身分为屏障躲藏其后，以便随心所欲地表达愤怒或说出伤人的批评。隐匿姓名使人可以残酷无情，却又无须为自己的言语担负责任。
求主使我能远离，
自私骄傲之言辞；
使我心口都如一，
赞美爱祢独生子。D. De Haan

每当我不愿被人发现某些话是我所讲的，而想以匿名方式写些东西时，我便会停下来再想一想。如果我不希望自己的名字和某句话有关联，那么或许我根本就不该说出那句话。于是我会做其中一项选择：要不就是把这句话抛诸脑后，要不就是重新再写一遍，让这话带来助益而非伤害。
以弗所书中说，我们的话语应当造就人，使听的人得益处（4章29节）。当一个人不愿让自己的名字曝光时，很有可能其动机是为了伤害，而非造就人。
无论是对家人、同事或你的牧师，当你想匿名表达意见之时，要想想为何你不想让自己的名字和这些话语有所关联。毕竟，当你不想让人发现这些话是出自于你时，这很可能也是上帝所不希望看到的。祂是位满有恩典且不轻易发怒的上帝（出埃及记34章6节），我们应当效法祂。求主使我能远离，

Things Said In Secret
The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious. —Ecclesiastes 10:12
O Lord, help us to turn aside
From words that spring from selfish pride,
For You would have Your children one
In praise and love for Your dear Son. —D. De Haan

The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious. —Ecclesiastes 10:12
Some say that anonymity is the last refuge for cowards. Judging from mail and comments I’ve read that have been submitted anonymously, I would agree. People hiding behind the screen of anonymity or a false identity feel the freedom to launch angry, hurtful tirades. Anonymity allows them to be unkind without having to take responsibility for their words.
Whenever I am tempted to write something anonymously because I don’t want to be identified with my own words, I stop and reconsider. If I don’t want my name attached to it, I probably shouldn’t be saying it. Then I do one of two things: I either toss it out or I rewrite it in a way that makes it helpful rather than hurtful.
According to Ephesians, our words should edify and impart grace (4:29). If I’m unwilling to use my name, there’s reason to believe that my motive is to hurt, not to help.
Whenever you’re tempted to say something in secret—perhaps to a family member, co-worker, or your pastor—consider why you don’t want your name to be identified with your words. After all, if you don’t want to be identified with your words, God probably doesn’t either. He is gracious and slow to anger (Ex. 34:6), and we should be the same.O Lord, help us to turn aside
From words that spring from selfish pride,
For You would have Your children one
In praise and love for Your dear Son. —D. De Haan
