我们常常很容易就被身处的环境所影响，以致我们忘了神的存在。尤其是在学期末的时候，功课及考试的压力很容易就让我们觉得喘不过气。可是，圣经的话语总是在适时的时候出现在我们眼前，将我们的目光带回耶稣的身上。这节经文就是这样出现在我眼前的。

记得有一次，我也是因为一些事情而心情沉重，觉得很沮丧、难过时，在一个布告板上看见这一节经文。当时，这节经文就像一声“碰”的巨响打进我的心中，使我顿时从自己的自怜自艾当中醒过来，再一次将眼光摆正，回到神的身上。

当我们以为自己的问题大过天时，圣经的话语已经告诉我们：凡从神生的，就胜过世界；使我们胜过世界的，就是我们的信心。（约一5：4）这个世界所给我们的，是许许多多的压力、困难，但是基督徒应该常被提醒，我们不应该将眼光放在自己的难处，而是建立与神的关系，操练对耶稣基督的信心。让我们一起捉紧神的话语，成为我们生活当中的指引，困难当中的依靠。

与弟兄姐妹共勉。(:

Week 6： 《旧约律法古今谈》- 赖斯强干事

It has been some time since I have shared personally with you. Hope this is a good chance to do so.

I just had dinner with a few close friends last night. Incidentally none of them were from NUS. 2 were from SMU while the last was from NTU. Being Business majors, the conversation quickly turned into a job-hunting conversation. As they spoke of their future careers, several things struck me.

It seemed weird to me that our conversations were rather a-personal. We were talking about who has gotten what job, how high were their salaries  and what the prospects of their jobs were. It was during the conversation that I’ve got wind that some of my secondary school classmates have now become high-earners, drawing up to 8K as fresh Management Trainees and Private Investors in various top-notch banks. Picture the friends you once knew – minus the impressions you’ve had of them while you were still in secondary school, and add to that the jobs they are holding, the salaries they are drawing, and their capabilities. The transformation draws much reality and starkness of people entering their adulthood.

Surely, there were bits of the conversation in which our lives were let out of the bag.  But little of that went beyond the topic of future career. As far as I could recall, I heard that Sam has reached the last round of interviews with PSA for the position of  Management Associate, Yeh was concerned about the Japan nuclear leak because he’s going there for exchange soon and we were all talking about politics in Singapore. I wasn’t sure why but I was dispirited about the conversation. It wasn’t so much of me being left out in the conversation but more like the topic of our conversations have become so different over the years. It’s even more depressing that we are increasingly concerned about money, about being the High-achiever, all about myself rather than others.

There is something that I would like to draw from this conversation that might be helpful for you- Peer Pressure.

Peer Pressure

As they were discussing about payscales and prospects, I felt challenged. Firstly, the salary a Teacher would draw (I was looking forward to the $3K salary) pales in comparison with the starting pay of 8K which my friends were drawing. Secondly, they were on their way to be the successful high-earner esteemed in this society. In a certain sense I felt very uneasy that I wasn’t going to be an achiever. I couldn’t find a better word than “peer pressure” to describe what I felt I was under. I’ve always thought that peer pressure was something that youths are susceptible to especially when they feel the compulsion to be like their peers, be it in terms of fashion, the gadgets they own, the JC that they were going to,  or their grades. Wasn’t that something that I’ve grown out? To my unwilling admission, No!  I am and we still are under peer pressure- just that the things that we are being pressured to do are less trivial and more “serious” now. They are no longer the things you own, what you wear, your grades but your careers and payscales! Isn’t it amazing that at my age, I’m still bothered by it? A bible believing, God trusting Christian? This brings me to my point- what is it that causes us to feel “pressured”?

A brother-in-Christ has once told me this “every company has a vision and mission. A vision is something you want to do, a mission is how to do what you want to do.” What is the vision of your life and what is your mission on earth? What is driving your decisions over careers? What is your outlook of life? Has it got anything to do with eternal life and Jesus? Is he at the center of all your decisions? Even if he is, have you treated him as someone who only ceremonially preside over your life and someone whom you pay tokenistic commitment to?

I am glad God made me struggle over this; it was a great reminder that our lives are meant to be different. Christ-centered, not money-centered, not self centered.

So Jesus said to the Twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.” John 6:67-69 In Jesus is eternal life. Hope that this outlook of eternal life will drive you to live radically on this Earth.

Week 3： 《专题讲座一：我是谁》- 许复顺牧师

Week 4：《神学讲座1 – 什么是神学》- 李振群博士

A.W Tozer: The Pursuit of God

I remember receiving this book as a gift during my early days of becoming a Christian and since then, find myself rereading the book several times over the course of my Christian life. The book is not an exposition on a certain passage or verse. Instead, it contains the insights of Tozer on the topic of ‘our relationship with God’. ‘How do you pursue God wholeheartedly and what’s preventing us from doing so?’ is the central theme that runs through the entire book.

The first draft of the book was finished within a train ride to Texas. As words kept coming to him, Tozer wrote all night and eventually finished writing upon reaching his destination. The book is made up of several short chapters. Each chapter consists of a short write up and a prayer at the end.

The second chapter – the blessedness of possessing nothing, played a great role in helping me through one of the darkest period of my life. And I thank God for it as it allowed me to make sense of my situation and come before God for help. In summary, this chapter talks about all things created being subservient to God but we, in our fallen nature, have allowed these things to reign in our hearts instead of God. This, he argues, is the explanation to the many woes we experience today and the way to overcome this is not by fighting but by surrendering. He urges us to come before God truthfully, without defense or excuse, understanding that what we are dealing with is holy business and pray for God to help us. In his prayer, he writes:

‘Father, I want to know Thee, but my cowardly heart fears to give up its toys. I cannot part with them without inward bleeding, and I do not try to hide from Thee the terror of parting. I come trembling, but I do come. Please root from my heart all those things which I have cherished so long and which have become a very part of my living self, so that Thou mayest enter and dwell there without a rival. Then shalt Thou make the place of Thy feet glorious. Then shall my heart have no need for the sun to shine in it, for Thou wilt be the light of it, and there shall be no night there. In Jesus’ name, Amen.’

Though my sharing and description of the book may not be very accurate and wholesome, I really encourage you to read this book as it helps you to better pursue God and have a more intimate relationship with Him. Thankfully, there is also a chinese version called “渴慕神”. The book is small and you can bring it anywhere you go, even when you are travellingJ May God work mightily through this text. Amen.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” -       Matthew 5:3

有个学生回答，“就博一博”

我，“博一博？你这一博就是10年也！”

不过，听他们分享时，就发现，他们就真的因为认为新加坡环境比较好，而学费也免了，又可以学英文，就把10年这样地献给新加坡。这一次的接触，让我发现SM3学生的勇气。

不过，在勇气的后面，还是有软弱的一面。离乡背井，不容易，自己一个人在陌生的地方，会有孤独的感觉。记得，有一位SM3 学生与我分享，最难放下的，就是在家的朋友 – 以前在中国跟朋友出去玩好容易，但到了新加坡，就没有随时可找的朋友。他们是多么的需要主，多么需要爱和关怀 – 我们自己是否有以基督的心看待他们呢？
