All I really need to know I learned in DBC...#1

多年前﹐有一本#1 Bestseller 叫 All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, 作者係Robert Fulghum. 內容主要係從一些小事看人生大道理。

好開心大家都有興趣知多D 關於我剛開始讀既counseling class, 所以決定開一個不定期專欄叫"All I really need to know I learned in DBC..."﹐分響下我係Dynamics of Biblical Change 這個class 所學到既野。

首先講下 course 既情況。DBC 係一個 intro 既 biblical counseling class, 加上係 Westminster Seminary 既requirement, 所以個class 好多人﹐我想有一百人以上﹐所以基本上係以lecture為主. 除了神學生﹐我想班上有不少係平信徒﹐好似我甘﹐但亦有一些教牧人員﹐專業輔導員﹐等等。功課都唔算少﹐查不多每星期都要交篇400字既response paper, 重有其他ministry paper, self counseling project, 等等.

第一堂﹐主要係intro, 同埋講下syllabus 甘。但係Prof. Powlison 講左好多精警既野﹐不如就講下呢D (我唔係照quote Prof. 可能亦加左小小自己既interpretation)。

Our destination, the ideal...imagine if you can be totally fearless, totally healthy, truly good, never feel lonely, truly blessed, happy and joyful...當我們見到神既時候﹐相信就係甘...

But how far away from this are you right now? The more accurately you know about yourself, the more you know how far you are from the ideal...
What direction are you heading? It's absolutely crucial...it doesn't matter if we are running, walking, limping or even crawling, as long as we are heading the right direction, it's ok.

We are saved outside of ourselves...

There are two kinds of people, two kinds of self-centeredness. 1) The "diary" people, who get lost in their own feeling, self pity, and depression. The morbid introspection. 2) The "PDA" people, who get lost in their agenda, their actions. The restless activism. The goal is biblically guided extrospection (this is not really a word), instead of looking in, we need to be looking out. Faith working through love, renewal of the heart, that's the goal...
