抗逆力,是一種生命素質。我們都知道,世事總不會盡如人意,為人父母,自然想把最好的送給孩子,於是我們也希望,即使沒有我們在旁,孩子也能有足夠的韌力,去面對任何想像到或想像不到的人生逆境。
沒遇過挑戰、沒有重量的生命,所得到的喜悅也是不實在、輕飄飄的。學習把逆境視為使愉悅變得實實在在的途徑,是轉化逆境意義的第一步。
既說是學習,就是說沒有一步登天,沒有一蹴即就。
使孩子能對未來帶著盼望,相信逆境只是一時三刻,雨過自然會天清──這一點,正是我們能為孩子預備的最大禮物。

1. don't curse it;
2. don't rehearse it;
3. don't nurse it.
...expect God to reverse your disappointment. God is the master of reversing hurts.

倪匡只等「安息主懷」?
他笑道:「作為基督徒,完全對死亡沒有恐懼...只怕痛苦。」

To be healed is to say goodbye to the romanticism of victimizing yourself.
To be healed is to give up being served but to serve.
To be healed is to give up your old self and to completely surrender to God.

this election is about two very different narratives, a negative, combative one of fear, and a positive, creative one of hope. I'm voting for hope.

其實,我覺得一同事奉合作最美的就是要懂得走位,
意思就是說,我見到你有不足,你就補上;
你有不足和乏力,我就走上來補充。
一同事奉,不一定是同聲同氣就一定行,
相反,因為在team裡有好不同的想法才會令圖畫更豐富。
一個看macro的,另就看micro;
一個看事,另一個就看人;
一個看夢想,另一個就看有多實際。
要有這種合拍不一定單是用時間就能孕育出來,
卻是加上對自己和彼此的認識和信任並由聖靈帶領來成就的。
因為我們很「肉緊」這的世代的年青信徒能否作一生跟隨上帝的門徒 ...
我們在使者就是這樣事奉了 ...

People are free to choose. People will vote with their feet. But I’m convinced that at the roots of the church split movement and the church-consumer drive is a deeper ill, and that is our inability and unwillingness to love and forgive– and be reconciled to– all people. It betrays the serious fracture not only in the church, but in all religion, all races, and all people. It exposes the fact that we love ideas more than our fellow human beings.

Liturgies of healing teach us to see the world with new eyes, to touch and be touched in safe and affirming ways, to entertain new and inspiring images of God, and to place both past and future in God's hands. Our prayer do not invoke a distant, otherwise unconcerned deity, but awaken us to God's healing touch within us and around us in each moment of life.

Worship is a profound act of trust and imagination. In contrast to the zero-sum, one-dimensional, closed system world views that often characterize our perception of everyday life, the community at worship envisages a world of miracle and surprise in which we expect great things not only of God, but also of ourselves. In this God-permeated world, life is abundant, hope is real, and healing is always on the horizon.

從頭學崇拜
作為基督徒,我們最基本的信仰責任,便是每星期日返崇拜。
崇拜,幾乎是每一個基督徒每週都會做的事情,卻甚少有人教我們如何返崇拜。你可能會問:返崇拜,是很自然不過的事情罷!那也要人教?
情況就好像談戀愛。當然,不用教,年輕男女也會談起戀愛來。但若果有人教導他們談戀愛的正確心態和技巧,他們便可以少走不少冤枉路吧。
今日,或許我們對崇拜有諸多的不滿足,又或許我們對崇拜無甚感覺,又或許我們自覺對崇拜沒有問題... 無論如何,也是時候來從頭學習如何參加崇拜吧!
