Living in a Broken World: How do we influence the world?Jim Hsia
Jesus taught us to pray, "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." How can we maintain our spiritual identity as God’s chosen people despite the overwhelming pressure to conform? How do we participate in God's world-repairing project?

当我们在恋爱时间，这一切真的是关于
对于上帝的敬畏和信念。很多事情我们清
楚知道是不对的可是我们还是照做那是因
为我们的对于上帝的心志还不够坚强… .
It’s really about the FEAR OF GOD and the
CONVICTION we have during the courtship. A
lot of things we knew but we still do because
our hearts toward God are not strong….
19. 因此，要拥有一个健康恋爱确实是基于我们与
神的关系而不是关于另一半 / 伴侣是否是我合
适的对象。
Therefore, to have a healthy courtship is really
based on our relationship with God NOT about
whether the person is the right one or not.
停止祷告寻找合适另一半，而是你祷告你成为
另一半合适的伴侣！
Stop praying for the right person, pray that you
become the right person instead!

“
因为神救众人的恩典已经显明出来 , 教训我
们除去不敬虔的心和世俗的情欲，在今世自
守、公义、敬虔度日”
“For the grace of God has appeared that offers
salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No”
to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live
self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this
present age”
Titus 2:11,12
