以道为中心的生命

本文原刊登于《举目》官网言与思专栏

在教会历史中,有一项很重要的属灵传统,就是“以道为中心的生命”。

过去15年来, [海外校园机构]各样网络神学课程的学生,与日俱增,这是对真理的渴慕,多多益善。但是传统的神学课程,都是建立在学生已有多年的主日学和基督教教育为前提的。

如果学员们缺乏圣经基本功,只吸收神学知识,而未塑造“以道为中心的生命”,是经不起考验的。世界的假像、罪性的潜力、老我的强悍、教会的纷争,都足以使我们赶建了很多沙土上的房子而沾沾自喜。

要塑造以道为中心的生命,不能速成。在学习神学课程之前,最好先“知道”圣经:借着速读、熟读、享读、研读,对上帝的话有宏观性的见识。

其次是“查道”:按照正确的解经原则,查考每段、每章、每卷经文的上下文、体裁、背景、字句原意、文法结构、中心信息,深入了解整本圣经的真义,并且融会贯通。

最后是“行道“:将真道的原理,整合成清楚明白的架构后,认真彻底地应用于生活、动作、存留中。

这种以道为中心的生命,是一种生活方式,必须依靠真理的圣灵启示引领,也需要如约翰卫斯理所说:“属灵纪律的操练”。先有个人日常灵修祷读的操练,再有群体的教导互动,在事奉中磨炼,在教会中生根建造。

再过10年后,若有人问:你们爱学网、培训网的毕业生,最明显的特色是什么?我们盼望能说:他们都有以道为中心的生命。

    It would be nice, if you didn’t mix up Taoist ideology with Christianity. Understand Chrisitanity from its middle eastern context. It is not a Chinese religion. The onus is on you to adopt the values found in the ancient Middle East, rather than expecting God to accept Han-Chinese values. When using words, it is important to stick to what the Bible affirms and says, otherwise “adultaration” takes place. No one likes to put salt into the milk, do they my Chinese friend?

    The word of God is very clear, when Christ returns, it is the nations of the world that will travel to Jerusalem to worship the King not the other way around. Inconvineant as it sounds, many Chinese just have to abandon Taoist and Confucious driven ideology, in favor of putting on the “new man”. Regeneration by the Holy Spirit, is a life long process, and one must be prepared to put down things, in order to pick up new things.
