人生观


这世界有越来越多各种各样的人, 21实际不再像80年代那样单纯...

人性败坏已成倍增长, 普遍化了...

这时代, 人若不挣气, 没自己的想法思想的话, 就会变成他人的"奴隶"了...

就好比这世界上有两种永远无法真正旅游的人: 一是跟团的人; 二是把攻略都查好,然后一丝不苟照做的人。这两种人,他们只是活在别人的生命经验里,就算去到天边也枉然。

活出自己吧! 不要盲从~

Are You Religious?



Religion can be defined as man’s attempt to impress God. It is an attitude that says, “I can make something of myself, I can earn God’s favor.” Although it may lead to works that are charitable, this mindset is fatally opposed to grace of God. It causes a man to stand when he should bow and to strut when he should kneel. Worst of all, it causes him to see himself as a co-savior. His motives may be sincere, but he is an idol-worshipper.


Jesus didn’t suffer and die on the cross to make you religious. He died and rose again to give you a new life – His life. Anything that pretends to be a substitute for the thrill of knowing Him – of trusting Him, being with Him, and walking with Him – should be rejected as inferior. If any of the statements in the test above describes you, then you might be a little bit religious. Here’s why…


Are you preoccupied with doing the right thing? God is looking for relationship, but a religious person is more concerned with following the rules. Their motto could be, “Just tell me what I must do and I will do it.” Whether you define the “right thing” as the 10 commandments, the words of Jesus, your church traditions, or whatever, to live by a code of conduct is infinitely inferior to the life Christ wants to live through us. It is eating from the wrong tree.


Adam chose independence from God. An independent spirit wants to decide for himself and thus prefers rules to relationship. But someone under grace says, I trust Him from start to finish, He will lead me in the right path (Ps 23:3). Your choice is rules or relationship. You cannot reduce relationship to a set of rules. (Try it with your marriage and see how far that gets you!) Live by rules and you’re setting yourself up for failure, for any kind of law will stimulate sin and lead to death (Rms 7:5). Even when you do the right thing it’ll be the wrong thing because you’re operating in an independent spirit instead of walking by faith (Rms 14:23). But when you choose to abide in Christ – when He is your all in all – you’ll find yourself doing the right thing at the right time every time. If you haven’t heard this before, then take a moment to read the good news.


Do you act as if God is keeping score? A performance mentality is central to all the religions of the world: Do good, get good. Do bad, get bad. The problem with this is your best is not good enough. If God was keeping score, all of us would fall short. Thus it is natural for a religious person to suffer from performance anxiety. God doesn’t grade on the curve and He’s not obligated to pass a certain percentage of the class. In fact, He expects perfection and nothing less. So either you must deliver a perfect performance or you must put your faith in a perfect representative. Jesus is our perfect High Priest (Heb 7:28). Trust Him!


Contrary to what religion will tell you, we are not justified by what we do but by grace alone (Rms 3:24). His grace and our works do not mix. Indeed, they nullify each other out (Rms 11:6). Grace is God’s part; faith is our part (Eph 2:8). Faith is saying, “thank you Jesus!” Faith doesn’t just get you started; it’s faith from first to last (Rms 1:17).


Are you sin-conscious? Sin-consciousness is the strongest indicator of a religious mindset. Gifts and sacrifices will do nothing to clear the guilty conscience of a religious person (Heb 9:9). The only remedy is a revelation of the blood of Jesus shed for your forgiveness (Heb 9:14, Mt 26:28). Through His one-time sacrifice for the sins of the world, Jesus has done away with sin (1 Jn 2:2, Heb 9:26). Sin was a problem, but because of Jesus it is no longer a problem. So what is the problem? The problem now is whether you will choose to believe in the all-sufficiency of Christ and His finished work. Religion will keep the focus on you and your unworthiness, but grace focuses on Christ and His worthiness.


Are you motivated by your Christian duty? Religion cries, “Jesus died for you. What will you do for Him?” I would do anything for Jesus, but if my motivation is a perceived debt, then I’ve missed grace. God didn’t send His Son to fetch an army of servants. Jesus came out of love. A religious person is motivated by their love for Christ, but we are to be motivated by Christ’s love for us. As Paul said, “Christ’s love compels us” (2 Co 4:14). God is not looking for us to impress Him with our love; He wants to impress us with His.


Whether they call it duty or responsibility, a religious person fundamentally believes that he is obligated or indebted to God. They want to work so that they no longer owe God. Indeed, they want God to owe them. They want to be in a position where God will have to bless them because of what they’ve done. This debt-consciousness is opposed to the grace of God for grace comes with no strings attached. There is no quid pro quo in the kingdom. Everything comes by the “exceeding riches of His grace” (Eph 2:7) and is received by faith. Don’t cheapen His grace by thinking you have a duty or responsibility to pay Him back. Your responsibility is to believe that He is good and true! It is not our obligation to serve the Lord, it is our royal privilege. It is not our duty, but our great delight.


Do you live in fear of God’s anger? Listen to a religious person and you might get the impression that God is a temperamental and abusive Father who sometimes lashes out in fits of righteous wrath. A religious person sees Jesus as a sort of go-between, someone who’ll stand in the gap and take the heat for us. But the truth is that God the Father, Son and Spirit are perfectly united in purpose and character. If you want to know what God the Father is like, look at the Son (Heb 1:3).


Does God get angry with us? Look at the oath He swore in Isaiah 54:9-10 for an answer. He has promised to never be angry with us or punish us. Do you believe that God would flood the earth as He did in the days of Noah? Of course not – He promised He wouldn’t. In Isaiah 54:9-10 God says, “this is like that – if you believe that promise, believe this one too. I will not be angry with you.” At great personal cost God has forged an eternal and unshakeable covenant of peace. We are the beneficiaries of this covenant. Why did He do it? Because He is love and He loves us. When you get a revelation of His love, your fear of punishment will evaporate (1 Jn 4:18). “But didn’t Jesus say He might blot some of us out of the Book of Life?” Nope. God doesn’t use correction fluid. “But what about that verse where He says He will spew some out of His mouth?” True, there is one thing that makes Jesus sick, and that’s religion. The Laodiceans had it in spades. Make sure you don’t.


Do you like doing things for God? Contrary to what religion has told you, we are not called to work for God but to do the work of God (Jn 6:29). Big difference! Working for God reveals our initiative, but faith is always a response to what God is doing or has done. In the Bible there are “dead works” and “good works.” Dead works are those activities that seem right to us but which lead to death (Pro 16:25). Good works are those which have been prepared by God in advance for us to do (Eph 2:10). Dead works require no faith – if you have the resources you can do them. Good works always reveal the Father and usually involve healing the sick, raising the dead, cleansing lepers, and driving out demons (Mt 10:8). As always, Jesus is our role model. He did nothing on His own initiative yet lived a full and fruitful life in response to the Father (Jn 5:19).


Do you see yourself mainly as a servant of God? Here is the question that separates the religious from the righteous: Do you see God as your heavenly Father, your Papa? A religious person will hesitate to respond, scandalized by the thought that he can speak of the Almighty in such familiar terms. Then a verse will come to mind and he will say, “I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God…” A religious person is content to be nothing more than a servant, and thus they miss the best thing of all.


There are only two kinds of people in the world: sons and orphans. Which are you? The devil’s desire is to have you so confused about your identity that you will relate to God in any way except as a son. A religious person will usually relate to God as a Master, but Jesus came to reveal the Father. Perhaps you left the pig trough with a prepared speech that began, “make me like one of your hired hands” (Lk 15:19). God is not interested that speech! He is not recruiting servants; He wants sons! Like the prodigal, you may see yourself as no more than a servant, but God sees you as a son (Rms 8:15, Gal 4:6). Don’t argue with your Father.

幸福~ 你在哪里?


能陪我们走到最后的那些人,可能不一定是你最爱的。 人们总认为得不到就是最好的,一味地去追求不属于自己的幸福; 曾以为只要认真地喜欢,就可以打动一个人,原来最后却只是打动了自己。 只要你学会珍惜身边那些对你好的人,你就会发现幸福其实一直都在身边…… 愿祝你/妳早日找到"幸福"......

现代的人~

不要在意别人在背后怎么看你说你,编造关于你的是非,甚至是攻击你。

人贵在大气,要学会对自己说,"如果这样说能让你们满足,我愿意接受";

并请相信,真正懂你的人绝不会因为那些有的、没的否定你!同时对自己也有帮助...

女人温柔是哄出来的、凶是逼出来的

男人们别抱怨你的女人不够小鸟依人,­

柔情似水!­

其实女人如水,­

本性是温柔的,­

女人天生用耳朵恋爱,­

喜欢甜言蜜语。­

爱她,就多哄哄吧。­

就算已老夫老妻!­

而凶是爱你,为你着急,­

如果你的女人对你从来不凶的话,­

那就要考虑她是否真的爱你!­

当你不顾自己身体过多抽烟时,­

沉迷网络怠慢她时,­

开车要潇洒速度过快时……­

她对你的大呼小叫是最平凡的爱!­

所以,男人们,­

请珍惜对你凶的女人,­

不要吝啬你的话语,­

多哄哄她,­

让她化野蛮为柔情,­

做你永远的小女人!

女人不美 男人要负一半责任­

一位名人说过,一个人要为自己的相貌负责。但是我想,对于女人来说,相貌长成什么样,自己只能负一半的责任,另一半则应由男人来负。­

未 出嫁的姑娘,就像苗圃里的树苗,一个个俊俏挺拔。出嫁了与一个男人终日厮守,男人就成了女人的气候、土壤、环境。男人脾气暴,整日不是狂风暴雨,就是“零 下一度”,女人一定憔悴无光;男人修养高,日照朗朗,和风细雨,女人一定热情奔放。养颜乃养性,好男人让女人心境好,心态好,心灵好。­

我们总是追求我们所爱的。一个女人爱上什么样的男人,她往往就会变成什么样的人,所谓“跟好人学好人,跟着神汉会跳神。”所以,女人如果不美,男人至少要负一半责任。­

一 个本来能温顺的女人,越来越泼辣,一定是她的男人不争气,逼得她不得不出头。一个本来纯洁的女人越来越妖艳,一定是她的男人太窝囊,她只好移情别恋。一个 本来清高的女人越来越恶俗,一定是她的男人档次不高,她“近墨者黑”。相反,一个本来很一般的女人,相貌越来越可爱,眼睛越来越灵光,说话越来越文雅举手 投足越来越有风度…不用说,她有一个好男人。­

男人千万不要以为美与丑只是女人自己的事。她长的美,你有一半的功劳;她长的不好看,你也有一半的过错。­

The World

Interestingly, today I have come across an issue related this world, THIS ILL AND COMPLICATED WORLD!

So, what is up with this world that our human race has lived in this world since Adam and Eve 2 thousands over years ago?

A friend "C", I assumed he is one of the slaves the world, as he told me to be good, to be as complicated as the world is. He means - this world is getting complicated and cunning, so you also should be part of it as well. Be cunning, no sincerity, no honesty, no trustworthy, so that you would not be rejected, so that you can easily succeed using dirty tricks. Stupid isn't he? He wants to win the hearts of people surround him, wants to be recognised by everybody, he chose to change himself to be part of this dark community. No own personality and principles. Sigh. Sad case.

The world is getting dark outside. If your heart is still side the dark, sorry to say you will fall eventually. I pray that God will send someone to save you.

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? [Jer 17:9]

Personal expression, please go back to Mars/Venus (due to Man from Mars, Woman from Venus) if you feel you can't survive here because the earth is dangerous.

男人不吃早餐最傷肝,女人不吃早餐最傷子宮...

所以,你今天吃早餐了嗎?

男娶女嫁

女人找男人找未来,男人找女人找现在,这话有一定道理。
女人比男人心理上更依赖,所以女人看男人,看内涵和背景,长相是次要的,内涵决定未来发展潜力,背景决定未来生活状态;男人看女人,先看外表和个性,喜欢上了可以不计后果。
男人喜欢上女人,什么身份都敢娶; 女人喜欢上男人,没有未来通常不嫁。
