得平安幸福的条件 / Peace & Happiness In Our Life

腓立比书Philippians 4：6-7
6应当一无挂虑，只要凡事借着祷告，祈求，和感谢，将你们所要的告诉神。 7神所赐出人意外的平安，必在基督耶稣里，保守你们的心怀意念。
6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

帖撒罗尼迦前书1 Thessalonians 5：16-18
16要常常喜乐。 17不住地祷告。 18凡事谢恩。因为这是神在基督耶稣里向你们所定的旨意。
16Be joyful always; 17pray continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

1. 顺服神的命令 Obeying God’s Word

有了我的命令去遵行的,这人就是爱我的
Whoever has my commands and obeys them loves me

约翰福音John 14：21-22
21有了我的命令又遵守的，这人就是爱我的。爱我的必蒙我父爱他，我也要爱他，并且要向他显现。 22犹大（不是加略人犹大）问耶稣说，主阿，为什么要向我们显现，不向世人显现呢？
21Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him." 22Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?"


当我们顺服神的命令 （神的话在我们里面）When we obey God's commands (Having God's words within us)
就是走在神的道路上 Then we are walking On His way

要常常喜乐，应当一无挂虑
Rejoice Always And Conquering Worry

2. 要信靠主 Have Faith In Him

信心要有行动 （行出真理）凡事借着祷告
Faith Need Action And Pray About Everything

3.要有正确的心态Need To Have Right Attitude Always

常存感恩的心-活出生命
Be grateful always- living a life

成功的人生 vs. 失败的人 / A Successful Life vs. The failure

羅馬書 8:6體貼肉體的就是死,體貼聖靈的乃是生命平安。
聖經 Chinese Bible: NCV (Traditional)
以肉體為念就是死，以聖靈為念就是生命、平安；
Romans 8:6 (New American Standard Bible (© 1995))
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,

美国女博士托丽丝.米凯尔调查了100位在事业上获得成功的人，发现他们有几项共同点:

An american professor, Torris Michael did a research and found some similarities among successful people:
一、热爱自己的工作

1. Loving their job passionately
二、生活态度积极，充满自信心，从未想过自己不会成功

2. A positive attitude in life, full of confidence and never thought about failing in life
三、能够从不愉快的经历中发现自己的力量

3. Find new strength when faced with challenges

美国的钢铁大王兼慈善家，卡内基，他说，失败的人有几项共同点。

The famous industrialist and philanthropist Carnegie said there are a few similarities among people that failed.
第一，为自己找借口，把所有责任推到别人身上。这样的人，一听到责备，本能性的会找借口。“不是因为我，是因为家、因为邻居、因为社会、因为父母，我才会变成这样”一直把责任推到别人身上。说自己是清白的，自己不想改过。

First, they find excuse for themselves and put the blames on someone else. People like this would find excuses once they are being reprimanded. "It's not me, but my home, neighbour, society and parents that make me who I am today." He or she would keep blaming it on other people and claim to be innocent, unwilling to change.
第二，有自卑感的人。就是时常说自己不行、办不到，这种心里有一幅悲观念性自画像的人。

Second, people who are inferior. These are the people who keep saying they are unable to do it. They have a negative image of themselves.
第三，没有生活目标。不晓得上帝呼召自己的圣洁旨意是什么，只是随波逐流，渐渐走下坡。

Third, having no goal in life. They do not know what is God's calling to them and just flow with life while going downhill as time passes by.

不为自己找借口 Do not find excuses for yourself

找借口的好处是把自己的过失暂时掩盖，心理上得到暂时的平衡。

The only good thing about finding an excuses is to cover up a mistake and having a psychological balance temporarily.

我们在工作的过程中总是会遇到挫折，我们知难而进，还是为自己寻找逃避的借口，不要寻找任何借口为自己开脱，寻找解决问题的办法才是最有效的工作原则。

We are bound to face failure in a working process, we either brace through it or find an excuse to avoid it. Do not run away by finding an excuse, but finding a solution to solve the problem is the most effective principle of working.

找借口不如找方法 Find a solution instead of an excuse

我坚信，那些想成功的人，一定不是喜欢找借口拖延的人。日本松下集团的创始人松下幸之助就是一个从不找借口拖延的人，他对自己如此，对员工也是同样的要求。他不允许下属为工作上的失误找各种理由，要求他们承认自己的错误，发现工作上的问题。这样做使得整个松下集团从上到下都很少有找借口拖延的风气，所以他们成为日本的精英企业并不为奇。

I strong believe that those who want to succeed will never find an excuse to delay their work. The founder of Panasonic Corporation, Matsushita is one of those who would never find an excuse to procrastinate. He acts so and expects the same from his employees. He never let his employee to find an excuse to cover up any mistake but to admit it and find out where the problem is. This created a culture where in Panasonic Corporation, nobody would ever find an excuse to procrastinate and so it is not a wonder why they become one of the leading enterprise in Japan.

成功人生的准备 The preparation to a successful life

1.要清楚我们人生的使命是什么? To know our purpose in life
我们不能过像风一样、雾一样来去无踪的生活，更不能毫无目的、毫无理由、毫无价值的生活在这个世界上。为了过成功的人生必须清楚自己的使命。这里有一个故事：在一个工地里有三个石匠在干活，过路的神父问了他们一个问题。首先对第一个石匠问道：你在做什么？石匠说：你是瞎眼吗？连这个都不懂，我在雕刻势头。接着问第二个石匠：你在做什么？石匠回答说：为了养家糊口不得不这样辛苦。又问了第三个石匠：你在做什么？石匠回答说：我在这里建造又雄伟由美丽的圣堂，将会是多么荣耀的圣堂啊！弟兄姐妹们，这三个人中谁的人生最有价值？谁是最成

功的人？当然不是第一个，也不是第二个，就是明白自己使命的第三个人。他的使命是建造雄伟美丽的圣堂，不是为了干活而干活，更不是为了养家糊口。这个故事告诉我们：虽然是小事，拥有关于将来的异象，忠心于使命的人才是幸福的、成功的。弟兄姐妹们，我们的使命到底是什么呢？你能否用简单的一句话记录你的使命呢？

We should not lead a life without direction like wind, we should never live without having aim, reason and value on this Earth. In order to live a successful life, one should know his or her calling in life clearly. There's a story: there were 3 stone masons in a construction site, a priest passed by and asked them a question. He spoke to the first stone mason and asked, what are you doing? The stone mason replied, are you blind? Can't you see that I'm carving a stone. Then he asked the second stone mason, what are you doing? The stone mason answered, in order to feed my family, I have to work hard for this. Then he asked the third one, what are you doing? The stone mason then replied, I'm building a beautiful and magnificent church, it will be a glorious church! Brothers and sisters, who has the highest value in life among these three? Which one is the most successful one? Of course it is not the first one, nor the second one, it is the third person who understands his calling life. His destiny is to build a magnificent church, not to work hard for the sake of working hard or to feed the family. This story tells us that even if it might seem to be a small matter, but having a dream about future, being loyal to their destiny is a person that is happy and successful. Brothers and sisters, what is our destiny? Can you use a simple one-liner to describe and record your calling in life?

也许有的人会说：为了生活；也有人会说：为养家糊口。这些都可能成为你努力的理由。但与这不同，有人却说：我是为了让我的妻儿幸福，让他们拥有异象过成功的人生而努力帮助他们。这样的人才算得上发现自己人生的真正使命。这种人绝不会感到疲倦、疲乏，在自己所做的事情中享受幸福与快乐。

Some people might say it is for life, some might say it is to feed the family. These may be the reasons for you to work hard. But some people may differ and say: I work hard in order to let my wife and children to have a comfortable life with destiny and live a successful life. These people are the ones that have found their real calling in life. They will never feel tired or bored of what they are doing but to enjoy them thoroughly.

成功的人都是有使命的人。为什么？他们对“为什么活着”这个问题都有清楚的答案。如果问美国第16任总统林肯的话，他会说：我为了释放奴隶而当了总统。他是有使命的总统。林肯出生在贫寒的家庭中，没有受过正常的教育，他是自学成才的。从小看着奴隶们被卖、受虐待长大的。每当遇见这样的事他都特别心痛。当上了总统之后拯救了因奴隶问题产生的南北对立的危机局面，1862年宣布了“解放宣言”，经过4年的南北战争终于得胜，并且解放了奴隶。所以他被称为解放奴隶之父，至今还受到全世界许多人的敬仰，因为他知道自己的使命。有人问:你为什么当上了总统？他毫无挂虑地说：为了解放奴隶。有人问美国有名的钢铁大王卡内基：你怎么创建了这么巨大的钢铁公司？他们回答说：‘为了让工人有基本收入，有吃有住而搞事业。’

Successful people are the people with destiny in life. Why? They all have a clear answer to "why are you living?" If you ask this to Lincoln the 16th president of USA, he would say: I become a president to release the slaves. He is a president with destiny. Lincoln was born in a poor family, he never get a proper education. He grew up seeing slaves were being sold and being tortured. He felt heartache seeing those situations. The Homestead Act was finally announced in year 1862 after 4 years of civil war. Lincoln is still being honoured by many people because he knew his destiny in life. Someone asked: why did you become a president? He answered without a hesitation saying: to free the slaves. Someone asked Carnegie: why did you build such a enormous empire of steel? He answered: in order to let my employees have a basic income and having a home and food.

比如说摩西吧，如果问摩西：你在做什么？他会说：我的人生就是为了以色列的解放。如果问约书亚：你是为什么活着？他会说：为了把百姓待进迦南地。如果问耶稣：你的使命是什么？耶稣会说：为了拯救人类。马可福音10:45说：“因为人子来，并不是要受人的服事，乃是要服事人，并且要舍命，作多人的赎价。”问问使徒们：你们为什么活着？他们肯定会说：为了把福音传遍天下。以前有句俗语：“地不生无名小草”意思是出生在这个世界的人没有一个是没有使命的人，所有人带着不同的使命出生的。所以为了成功我们的人生，必须清楚自己的使命。

Moses as an example, if you were to ask Moses: what are you doing? He would say: the purpose of my life is to free Israel. If you were to ask Joshua: what are you living for? He would answer: in order to bring the people into the land of Canaan. If you were to ask Jesus: what is your destiny in life? Jesus would say: in order to save human kind. Mark 10:45 says, for even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Ask the disciples, why are you living? They would surely answer: to spread the gospel to the whole world. There is a Chinese saying that goes like "a land would not grow an anonymous grass". It means nobody was born without a purpose in life. We all were born with a different destiny. So if we want to succeed in life, we need to know our destiny clearly.

罗马书12：3：“我凭着所赐我的恩，对你们各人说，不要看自己过于所当看的。要照着神所分给各人信心的大小，看得合乎中道。”告诉我们说：每一个人都有神所赐的使命，要按照信心的分量智慧行事。神也按我们信心的分量给了使命，所以生活在这个世界的时候知道自己的使命是很重要的。我们应铭记在心，我为什么出生在这个世界？我人生的使命是什么？

Roman 12:3 "For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you." tells us tat God has given all of us a destiny with the measure of faith we have. So it is very important to know our destiny in life. We should remember why were we born to the world? What is our destiny in life?

2.要拥有成功的思想Positive Mindset, Successful Life

在思想里失败的人，在现实中也会失败。

A person that fails in his mind would also fail in reality.

1930年美国发生大恐慌的时候，罗斯福总统说：“真正应该惧怕的，就是我们心里的惧怕"这样鼓励国民，所以才能胜过大恐慌。因为罗斯福总统早就知道，在思想里失败的人，在现实中也会失败。

During the crisis in USA in year 1930, President Roosevelt said: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself". He encouraged the nation like this in order to overcome the crisis because President Roosevelt knew, a person that fails in his mind would also fail reality.

当我们灰心时，读神的话。每个人都有些各别喜欢的经文。常常的读、背、祷告。你信是得着的，就必得着。

When we are discouraged, we should read the words of God. We all have a different scripture that we like the most. Always read the words of God, memorise them and pray. Believe that you have received it and it will be yours.

马可9：23说到，你若能信，在信的人，凡事都能。

Mark 9:23 says, "Everything is possible for him who believes."

上帝報答行善的人 / God Rewards Those Who Do Good Works - 朱植森牧师 Rev Peter Chu

壹、 摩西重申律法的精意
1. The essence of the Law of Deuteronomy by Moses
一、上帝是唯一真神，祂要求我們盡心盡意遵行祂的律例、典章（申26:16），不然離棄神，神必審判。（申7:10）
God is the only true God, He wants us to follow His decrees and laws with all your heart and soul. (Deut 26:16), else those who hate Him will be judged. (Deut 7:10)

（申Deut 26:16）
「耶和華你的 神今日吩咐你行這些律例典章，所以你要盡心盡性謹守遵行。」
16 The LORD your God commands you this day to follow these decrees and laws; carefully observe them with all your heart and with all your soul.

（申Deut 7:10）
「向恨他的人當面報應他們，將他們滅絕，凡恨他的人必報應他們，決不遲延。」
10 But those who hate him he will repay to their face by destruction; he will not be slow to repay to their face those who hate him.

二、謹守遵行神一切的命令，乃是有真智慧和聰明
2. Following the commands of God is true wisdom and intelligence
（申Deut 4:6）
「所以你們要謹守遵行，這就是你們在萬民眼前的智慧，聰明，他們聽見這一切律例，必說，這大國的人真是有智慧，有聰明。」
6 Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding to the nations, who will hear about all these decrees and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people."

貳、 主耶穌清楚指出上帝必在明處報答那在暗中行善的人
2. Jesus said that God will reward those who give secretly
（太Matthew 6:4）
「要叫你施捨的事行在暗中，你父在暗中察看，必然報答你，﹝有古卷作必在明處報答你﹞。」
4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

參、 保羅更清楚指出，主必賜下永生、榮耀、尊貴、平安，加給那恆心行善的人。
3. Paul also mentioned that God will bless those who do good works with eternal life, glory, honor, and peace.
（羅Romans 2:6）
「他必照各人的行為報應各人。」
6God "will give to each person according to what he has done."
（羅Romans2:7）
「凡恆心行善尋求榮耀尊貴，和不能朽壞之福的，就以永生報應他們。」
7To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.

（羅Romans2:8）
「惟有結黨不順從真理，反順從不義的，就以忿怒惱恨報應他們。」
8But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.

（羅Romans2:9）
「將患難，困苦，加給一切作惡的人，先是猶太人，後是希利尼人。」
9There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;

（羅Romans2:10）
「卻將榮耀，尊貴，平安，加給一切行善的人，先是猶太人，後是希利尼人。」
10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

肆、 行善的福氣
4. The blessing of doing good works
一、地上行善，天上為自己積成美好的根基
1. Doing good works means to lay a firm foundation in Heaven
（提前1 Timothy 6:18）
「又要囑咐他們行善，在好事上富足，甘心施捨，樂意供給人，﹝供給或作體貼﹞。」
18Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
（提前1 Timothy 6:19）
「為自己積成美好的根基，預備將來，叫他們持定那真正的生命。」
19In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.

二、行善能使別人有益讓自己更加快樂有助於發展人際關係可結交到新朋友使自己的身心靈健康
2. Doing good can a)bring benefits to the others b)bring happiness to oneself c)help in developing social skills d)make new friends e)bring a healthy body and mind

（多Titus 3:8）
「這話是可信的，我也願你把這些事，切切實實的講明，使那些已信神的人，留心作正經事業，﹝或作留心行善﹞這都是美事，並且與人有益。」
8 This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

三、一九二五年，以色列希伯來大學的一項研究發現，善心與一種能夠釋放多巴胺的基因有關。多巴胺是腦中的一種神經傳導物質，能夠使人感覺良好。一九九一年，艾倫．盧克斯在其『做善事的療效』一書中指出，研究發現，人們在幫助他人時，生理上有特別的感覺，許多人覺得更有活力、更溫暖、更平靜，自我感覺更好。他稱這種現象為「助人者的興奮」。
3. In year 1925, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem did a research and found out benevolence is related to the dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in the brain that makes people feel good. In year 1991, Allan Luks in his book “The Healing Power of Doing Good” mentioned that research had shown when people are helping the others, they feel special emotionally, many people feel more energetic, warm, peaceful and better about themselves. He named this phenomena as “helper’s high”.

伍、行善的祝福
5. The blessing of doing good works
一、耶何耶大得長壽和得尊榮
1. Jehoiada lived a long life and was honoured

（代下2 Chronicles24:15）
「耶何耶大年紀老邁，日子滿足而死，死的時候年一百三十歲。」
15 Now Jehoiada was old and full of years, and he died at the age of a
hundred and thirty.

（代下2 Chronicles 24:16）
「葬在大衛城列王的墳墓裡，因為他在以色列人中行善，又事奉 神，修理 神的殿。」
16 He was buried with the kings in the City of David, because of the good he had done in Israel for God and his temple.

二、書念婦人接待以利沙，上帝賜給她兒子，後來從死裡復活（王下4:8-37），並取回所有財產。（8:1-6）
2. The Shunnamite woman in served Elisha, God gave her a son, and later son restored from death (2 King 4:8-37), and got all her properties back. (8:1-6)

三、多加因行善，彼得叫她從死裡復活
3. Peter raised Dorcas from death because she was always doing good

（徒Acts 9:36）
「在約帕有一個女徒，名叫大比大，繙希利尼話，就是多加，﹝多加就是羚羊的意思﹞他廣行善事，多施賙濟。」
36 In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which, when translated, is Dorcas), who was always doing good and helping the poor.

（徒Acts 9:41）
「彼得伸手扶他起來，叫眾聖徒和寡婦進去，把多加活活的交給他們。」
41He took her by the hand and helped her to her feet. Then he called the believers and the widows and presented her to them alive.

四、哥尼流多多行善賙濟百姓，致使全家得救，被聖靈充滿
4. Cornelius’s family was saved and were filled by the Holy Spirit because gave generously to those in need

（徒Acts 10:1）
「在該撒利亞有一個人，名叫哥尼流，是義大利營的百夫長。」
1At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment.

（徒Acts 10:2）
「他是個虔誠人，他和全家都敬畏 神，多多賙濟百姓，常常禱告 神。」
2He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly.

（徒Acts 11:15）
「我一開講，聖靈便降在他們身上，正像當初降在我們身上一樣。」
15"As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning.

五、低米丟行善，有好名聲，見證大大傳開，能激勵多人。
5. Demetrius is well spoken by everyone and his testimony inspired others because he is always doing good

（約參3 John 12）
「低米丟行善有眾人給他作見證，又有真理給他作見證，就是我們也給他作見證，你也知道我們的見證是真的。」
12Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone--and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him, and you know that our testimony is true.

十诫的价值观 - 愛心 / The Values of Ten Commandment - Love

第六条：不可杀人。(愛心)Sixth："You shall not kill." (Love)
我們要彼此相愛，像主耶穌愛我們一樣，這是祂的命令

We need to love one another like Jesus loves us, because this is His command

十诫-人生准则
The Ten Commandments - Guidelines of Life

十诫是明确的人生准则。十诫是幸福家庭的明确准则,假如罪恶和违法走进来破坏家庭，那么在这样的家庭是绝不可能有幸福的。美国1963年6月17日下令不准在公立学校进行圣经教育，除乔治亚洲的高中以外，大部分公立学校都没有进行圣经教育。今天，丢掉了主祈祷文和十戒命的校园里的吸毒、淫乱、暴力和枪击事件数不胜数。
The Ten commandments are the guidelines in one's life. The Ten Commandments gives birth to a happy family, if sins and illegality come to destroy a family, then there will not be any happiness in the family itself. In 1963, June 17th, America gave an order that all the bible teaching in public schools should be stopped, except the high schools in the state of Georgia. They stopped practicing the Lord's prayer and the Ten Commandments, and as a result, there are a lot of happenings in American schools such as drug-abusing, promiscuous, violence, gun-shooting etc.

青少年的大学考试成绩急聚下降，婚前性关系到处泛滥，而且吸毒、枪击事件和离家出走的由8倍猛增到了13倍。最近，在由基督教徒组织的为在公立中学进行圣经教育的全国会议上，号召开展在全美50个洲恢复圣经教育的运动，受到这个影响，现已在29个洲100多所学校已开始实施圣经教育。
The results in university are deteriorating, sex before marriage is deluging. The drug-abusing, gun shooting and running away from home cases even grown from 8 times to 13 times. Lately, a Christian organisation suggested to recover the bible studies in public schools. Due to this, right now in 29 states, more than 100 schools had started to teach bible studies.

為什麼不可杀人? Why we shall not kill?
生命是神所赐的We are created by God
若人的生命是神个别独特的创造，结束生命或导致生命结束是唯独神才可以拥有的一个特权。

If a person's life is an unique creation of God, then only God has the right to end his or her life.

人带着神的形像We have the image of God
根据(创1:27，9:6)，人是按着神的形像被造，因此我们敬畏神，也当彼此尊重衪在我们里面的形像，以表明对神形像的敬重.

According to (Gen 1:27, 9:6), man are made in the image of God, thus we fear God as well as respecting the image of Him inside us.

什麼是杀人? What is killing?
1. 恶毒或恨人 Malice or hating the others
馬 太 Matthew5:21-22 你們聽見有吩咐古人的話、說、『不可殺人、』又說、『凡殺人的、難免受審判。』只是我告訴你們、凡向弟兄動怒的、難免受審判。〔有古卷在凡字下添無緣無故的五字〕凡罵弟兄是拉加的、難免公會的審斷．凡罵弟兄是魔利的、難免地獄的火。

"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.

所以「恨人的心」与「杀人的行动」是没有分别的。

Thus, hating others and killing others are the same.

诗篇 Psalm 139:22-24，「神阿!求你鉴察我，知道我的心思，试炼我，知道我的意念.看在我里面有甚么恶行没有，引导我走永生的道路。」

I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies. Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

其中的「恶行」是神看我们的意念已是即成的行为。

The "offensive way" means God sees our thoughts as something that will be our action.

2. 残忍折磨人的 Torturing the others
这是残忍，强暴的行为，例如偷袭，洗脑或严刑逼供等。

This is cruel, a brutal action, such as stealing, brainwashing or torturing someone for a confession etc.

3. 堕胎的合法化 The legality of abortion
是假藉法律，摧毁生命的行为，因为根据遗传学显示，从受孕的那一剎那开始，胎儿已是一个诞生而正在成形的人，惟有当胎儿在无可避免的过失下而危害到母亲生命时，才可以接纳堕落的手术，然而，根据医生的发现，这种情形在今天已属罕见。除了上述的理由以外，「堕胎合法化」总是一种社会的罪恶。

It is an action to destroy life through law because according to genetic science, once a baby was conceived, the baby has a life on its own. Only if the life of the baby or the mother herself was in a crisis, then an abortion is acceptable. According to doctors, this phenomena is decreasing in the society. Other than that, the legality of abortion is always a criminality in the society.

4. 自杀 Suicide

「自杀」是人在失去理智的平衡之下而做出的行为，虽然有人认为自杀的行为并不导致人失掉神的恩典，然而却直接抵触神的诫命.

Suicide is an action carried out by someone who is irrational. Although some may think that suicide doesn't make one loses God's grace, but it is directly against God's command.

爱的4大方向4 Direction of Love
约翰一书4：7-12
亲爱的弟兄啊，我们应当彼此相爱，因为爱是从 神来的。凡有爱心的，都是由 神而生，并且认识 神。没有爱心的，就不认识 神。因为 神就是爱。神差他独生子到世间来，使我们借着他得生， 神爱我们的心在此就显明了。不是我们爱 神，乃是 神爱我们，差他的儿子为我们的罪作了挽回祭，这就是爱了。亲爱的弟兄啊，神既是这样爱我们，我们也当彼此相爱。从来没有人见过 神。我们若彼此相爱，神就住在我们里面，爱他的心在我们里面得以完全了。

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

神是爱，魔鬼是恨恶。神的爱带来生命，美丽与祝福，魔鬼的恨恶只能带来死亡，污秽与咒诅。主耶稣说：“盗贼来，无非是要偷盗、杀害、毁坏；人子来，是要叫羊得生命，并且得的更丰盛。”

God is love, the devil is hatred. God's love brings life, beautifulness and blessings, the devil's hatred only brings death, cursing and filthiness. Lord Jesus said, "the thief come to kill, steal destroy, but I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

那我们应该怎样显出爱的生活？我們要彼此相愛，像主耶穌愛我們一樣，這是祂的命令

How should we live a life that shows love? We need to love each other, like Jesus loves us, this is His command

馬 太Matthew 22:37-40
耶穌對他說、你要盡心、盡性、盡意、愛主你的　神。這是誡命中的第一、且是最大的。其次也相仿、就是要愛人如己。 這兩條誡命、是律法和先知一切道理的總綱。
"'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."

1. 尽心、尽性、尽意、尽力爱主你的神 Loving God Whole Heartedly

2. 要过爱自己的生活 Loving yourself
通常，有很多时候基督徒认为爱己是大罪。认为厌恶自己才是圣洁的生活，所以总有厌恶自己的才错误的想法。我们要认识，我们有很多理由爱己。因为爱神就要要爱照着神的形象和样式造的自己。我们每个人就是按神的形象和样式创造的。所以，恨恶自己就是恨恶神的形象和样式所造的。所以不论自己长的好看还是难看都是神借着基督所造的新人，因为神将自己的形象和样式印在我们身上，所以我们不能恨恶神的形象和样式所造的自己。

Many Christians usually think that loving themselves is a sin. They think that only hating self is a holy life and they have a wrong mindset of hating themselves. We have to know that we have many reasons to love ourselves. Because loving God means loving what God created according to His image. We are all made according to His image and thus hating ourselves means hating God. So no matter how we look, we are all made new in Christ, because God has moulded us according to how He looks.

想想神的施恩，就是他的牺牲。经上说“神爱世人，甚至将他的独生儿子赐给我们”神的儿子耶稣被撕开，流宝血，所赐给的是多大的牺牲啊？圣经说耶稣是神的赎罪羊。主耶稣基督为了我们，被钉在十字架上流出了鲜血，代赎了我们的罪。神这样爱我，我要用神的爱要爱己，若是恨恶自己、虐待自己就是对神的爱背道而驰了。神说：“我们若认自己的罪，神是信实的，是公义的，必要赦免我们的罪，洗净我们一切的不义。”所以，要悔改，饶恕自己，不要恨恶自己。

Think of God's grace and His sacrifice. The bible says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Jesus the son of God is pierced and bled for us, how great is this sacrifice? The bible says Jesus is the lamb of God. He was nailed for the cross for us and paid of our sins. This is how much God loves us, so we need to love God with His love, if we hate ourselves, then we are running away from God's love. God says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." So we need to repent and forgive ourselves.

學習鼓勵自己。夢想不會每次都按著我們的時間表成真。我們會遭遇失敗和逆境很容易消沈。有家人和朋友的鼓勵當然很好,牧師加油打氣 當然很好，但是別人無法使我們維持鬥志，他們可以鼓勵我們 推我們一把，但若真的要活出得勝生命 ，就必須從心裏發出鬥志。我們必須學習鼓勵自己。我們的心靈深處必須有堅定的決心和力量繼續往前。

Learn to encourage ourselves. Our dream will not always realise according to our own timing. We will face failures and obstacles. Sometimes encouragements from friends, family or pastor is good but they cannot sustain us for a long time. It is true that they can push us forward but if we want to live a life of victory, then we need to fight from the deep of our heart. We need to learn to encourage ourselves then we will have the conviction and strength to move forward.

3. 要爱邻舍 Love your neighbour as yourself
《创世纪》2：18说：“耶和华神说：“那人独居不好，我要为他造一个配偶帮助他。”

Genesis 2:18 says, "The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
《约翰一书》4：11节说：“亲爱的弟兄啊，神既是这样爱我们，我们也当彼此相爱。”

1 John 4:11 says, "Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another."

要同情邻舍的难处，这样的生活才是爱邻舍的生活。真爱邻舍的人就会与邻舍对话，彼此交通。要在物质和精神两方面都去帮助。只有我自己吃的好，穿的好，住的好，不管邻舍的饥寒就不是爱。

Loving our neighour means to be compassionate about them. One that loves his or her neighbour would communicate with them and provide them both physically and emotionally. Ignoring the neighbour while one lives a well life is not love.

4. 要爱自然 Love the natural our planet
人类一开始被造，就要与自然共生存。神对亚当说：“你要在伊甸园治理这地。”伊甸园就是自然环境。人生活在地上就要治理自然环境，也要看守好自然环境。因为人与自然是同存活，如果践踏自然，破坏自然的话，人会与自然一同灭亡。堕落的人是不爱神、不爱自己、不爱邻舍、也不爱自然，破坏自然。

From the start of the creation of man, they are ought to live together with the natural. God said to Adam to govern the garden of Eden. Eden Garden is a natural place. Man living on the land are meant to govern the natural, as well as taking care of it. Man and the natural are depending on each other, if the natural were to be destroyed, then men too, will be destroyed. An ignorant person that does not love God, himself, neighbour and the natural is not in the favour of God.

人类以开发为名，胡乱破坏自然。河里许多的鱼群都死去，漂到河川散发出死鱼的臭腥味，人也被重金属污染，产生了许多先前没有的各种癌症和重病，性病。这就是与自然共灭亡。

In the name of development, man destroy the natural carelessly. Fishes in the sea are dead and human are also affected by the metal pollution, and as a result, there are a lot of cancers and illness. This is what is meant by man and natural are depended on each other. Man fall sick together with the natural.
