题目：如何结束2008并展望2009
讲员：吴清贵牧师
经文：（使徒行传2:17 神说：在末后的日子，我要把我的灵浇灌所有的人，你们的儿女要说预言，你们的青年人要见异象，你们的老年人要作异梦。）
重点：结束比开始更来的重要（因为那就是结果）坚持努力开始，刚强结果！
1. 没有梦想就没有了翅膀，没有梦想就没有方向。就不能前去。神喜爱我因为我有意象。
2. 异想有多大成就有多大因为梦想是从心发出来的。
3. 我的成就不回大过我的异想。 梦想
4. 我有梦想+努力+神就有未来。就有成就。
5. 没有行动的痛苦比起有行动的痛苦来得更大。
6. 有了梦想就要有目标！
7. 有了梦想没有行是死的就象有了信心没有行动也是死
8. 为什么要有目标，目标可以带来自律。
9. 为什么要有目标，因为可以带来方向。
a. 独立
b. 方向 目标
c. 意义
d. 乐趣
e. 成就
10. 有了目标潜能就会发出来和可以自律自己变得有成就。
11. You fail to plan your plan to fail. By God my plan will not fail
Coz I have breakthrough and plan from God.
1. 提升自己的价值观。
( 约翰福音 2: 11 这是耶稣所行的第一件神迹（目标，价值，梦想），是在加利利的迦拿行的。他显出了自己的荣耀(价值观)，他的门徒就信了他。)
2. 价值观提升了，成就（身价）就有提升。
3. 教育，看书，知识，智慧，能力，分析可以提高我的身价。
a. 教育（Education）要不断得去学习进步，每一天进步一点点。
b. 经验（Experience）越有经验越有价值观。身价就会被提升。
c. 装配（Equipping）知识，我们自己的长处。
d. 显露（Exposure）行动。没有行动的痛苦比起行动的痛苦来得更大。大量的行动。（学新的东西。）
4. 停止学习的人是死的
门徒作盐作光（马太福音5：13-16）
13 “你们是地上的盐；如果盐失了味，怎能使它再咸呢？结果毫无用处，唯有丢在外面任人践踏。
14 你们是世上的光。建在山上的城是无法隐藏的；
15 人点了灯，不会放在量器底下，而是放在灯台上，就照亮一家人。
16 照样，你们的光也应当照在人前，让他们看见你们的好行为，又颂赞你们在天上的父。

职场的定义
基督徒在社会的影响力_
徒17：
保罗在雅典
雅典是商业、教育、时装、艺术
雅典人不但光敬拜偶像，也是追求金钱、性、爱的城市
雅典如同现今现代的城市——极度邪恶
徒17：16
保罗不害怕世界
保罗没有因为跟不洁的人相处而受影响
满城都是偶像
保罗对这些失丧的人充满怜悯
不要害怕与未信者相处
耶稣从来没有用骂人的方式把人带到神的面前
第一层空间：教会
敬畏神的希腊人
像今天大部分的教会
完全疏离世界，被封闭在教会里
另辟出另一种基督徒生活的空间
耶稣并不没有差我们另辟世界，而是进入世界
事工的努力还是停留在第一层空间
在教会里感到安全
徒17：17
第二层空间：职场（5根支柱）
1. Business
2. Education
3. Government
4. Art/ entertainment
5. Media
保罗只有一天在会堂，其他的时间都是在职场。
徒17：18，19
第三层空间：
保罗遇到知识分子，他们是城市里面呼风唤雨的人。
这个空间不是任何人都可以去的地方，你需要被邀请。
牧师必须帮助会友在职场上卓越
V22 保罗称赞他们
让自己更精致一点
V24-27
保罗知道这些外邦者的思想模式
V30
保罗并没有妥协他对真理的立场
We have mission of god in the world. Hallelujah. Because I'm the light of world and salt of the world. Thanks my father in heaven, my lord Jesus and my dearest holy spirit.
职场的定义
“你们往普天下去，传福音给万民听。“（可16:15)
在援救人类文化发展的领域中，许多社会学家与人类学家都同意社会是有以下的支柱组成的。
1生意
2教育
3政府
4艺术
5娱乐
6媒体
7家庭
8宗教
教会要与神药我们所处的文化有相同，并要现代化。
职场事工的目的为何？
目的是要我们工作的职场上章显身的荣耀，而当我们运用自己的天分，能力与才能来完成神所赐的异象与梦想时，便能达到这个目的。
神的荣耀如何透过我们的生命在职场中章显出来？
勤劳工作，努力便能释放神的荣耀。
(创2:15耶和华神把那人安置在伊甸园里，叫他耕种和看守那园子。)
(传9:10 凡是你手可作的，都当尽力去作；因为在你所要去的阴间里，既没有工作，又没有筹谋；没有知识，也没有智慧。)
(弗3:20 愿荣耀归给神，就是归给那能照着运行在我们里面的大能，充充足足地成就一切，超过我们所求所想的。)
换句话说，我们要成为解决问题的人，给人帮助的人，有影响力的人。
透过提供解决方法，向全世界显出自我进步，进而将荣耀归给神。
该在何时，何地开始职场工作？
"信就是对所盼望的事的把握，是还没有看见的事的明证。"来11:1
1现在就开始.
2找到具有热情与沟通的人一起开始.
BBG / SLC
p/s 如果我们成为一位解决问题的人,(Problem Solver)我们会更加富有. 阿门
1进入我们邻居, 问他们关心他们,
2认识他们了解他们
3为他们祷告.

直奔標竿
直奔標竿
經文：腓3:12-14
一、忘記背後
保羅當日要忘記什麼？
1.忘記過去的榮辱、得失與成敗
2.忘記過去的傳統與經驗
3.忘記過去的眼淚、委屈與苦毒
1. 忘記過去的榮辱、得失與成敗
保羅不認為自己已經得著了，應當指的是三層天的故事。許多努力的付出及神蹟的經歷。
不活在過去的成功中，免得自己驕傲，而且應當還有更多的經歷，還可以再多一點的啟示。
不讓過去的失敗擋住我們的路，這些不過是我們成功的踏腳石。
一次的失敗不代表永遠的失敗。
放下你不放心的，放下你做不了的，放下你背不動的。
2. 忘記過去的傳統與經驗
這些事情本是以色列人以為不可少的。
傳統不是壞東西，但是不是真理，不是不可變的東西。
上帝不活在傳統中間!!
3. 忘記過去的眼淚、委屈與苦毒
保羅曾受過許多的委屈，他在林後中曾題到他的委屈。
約瑟為自己頭一個兒子取名叫「瑪拉西」，就是「忘記」；
許多人不肯從過去中走出來，他一直在過去中尋找安慰，在過去中尋找公義、在過去中...
如何從委屈、眼淚、苦毒中出來：
(1)饒恕；(2)祝福；(3)反省；(4)數算恩典
(1) 饒恕
中國人會忍耐，但是不太會饒恕!!
「饒恕人」等於便宜了對方？
「饒恕他太不公平」
將公平的事交給上帝，祂是最後的審判者。
上帝不解決過去的事情，上帝對過去只是赦免!!
饒恕人是最接近上帝的品德，也是高人一等的表現!!
(2) 祝福
祝福傷害你的人，大聲的祝福，而且靠近他、去幫助他、去愛他。
祝福人就比人高，而且得勝了，同時被醫治了。
(3) 反省
了解自已也曾作過相同的事，就比較會容易饒恕人。
(4) 數算恩典
認識上帝仍然愛我，仍然用恩典對我，心中就容易從傷害中出來。
二、努力面前
上帝是活在今天的上帝，上帝在今天與我們同在；不在過去中尋找上帝，而是在今天的生活中尋找上帝。
努力活好每一天是最重要的。
今天要活的認真、活得熱情、活得尊榮、活得快樂、活得抬頭挺胸!!
努力的工作、快樂的生活、熱情的待人、真誠的事奉、認真的學習。
每天都活得沒有後悔!!
三、面向標竿
路上的車輛、天上的飛機、天空的飛鳥、海中的船隻都有方向，但是許多人的生命沒有目標、沒有方向。
這個國家需要方向，學校應當有目標!!
牧師應當有方向；許多教會沒有方向，不知道要將會眾帶到何處去？
保羅清楚知道他的方向、他的使命，他一天都沒有耽延的向前奔跑。
世上絕大多數的人是沒有方向的，只是過一天算一天，但是基督徒是一群有夢想的人。
設立工作、家庭、成長、事奉目標，一個讓人感動的目標!!
求問上帝我的目標是什麼？訂立一個讓人感動的目標!!
特別是一個年長的人，一定要珍惜可用的年日不多，不可浪費。
四、竭力奔跑
1.設立步驟與計劃；2.立刻行動；3.堅持到底；4.祈求恩典

信，盼望，爱。
1哥前13：13 现在常存的有信、望、爱这三样，其中最大的是爱。
信是对神的信心。
希11：
1 信就是对所盼望的事的把握，是还没有看见的事的明证。
2 因着这信心，古人得到了称许。
3 因着信，我们就明白宇宙（“宇宙”或译：“诸世界”或“众世代”）是因着神的话造成的。这样，那看得见的就是从那看不见的造出来的。
盼望对未来的希望。
爱是对人群的爱心。
信是对神的信心。

歌罗西书 第三章
我是新造的人。
第三章
12 所以，你们既然是神所拣选的，是圣洁、蒙爱的人，就要存怜悯的心肠、恩慈、谦卑、温柔和忍耐。
13 如果有人对别人有嫌隙，总要彼此宽容，互相饶恕；主怎样饶恕了你们，你们也要照样饶恕人。
14 在这一切之上，还要有爱心，爱心是联系全德的。
15 又要让基督的平安在你们心里作主；你们蒙召归为一体，也是为了这个缘故。你们要有感谢的心。
16 你们要让基督的道丰丰富富地住在你们心里，以各样的智慧，彼此教导，互相劝戒，用诗章、圣诗、灵歌，怀着感恩的心歌颂神。
17 凡你们所作的，无论是言语或行为，都要奉主耶稣的名，借着他感谢父神。

Keep Your Customers!
The current unsettled economic environment is creating more and more skittish customers. Patrons who have been previously content with their normal purchasing activities are now giving everything a second look. Many of your regular customers may now fall into one of these three categories:
- those that will look for less costly options when doing business with you
- those who will start looking for less costly suppliers
- those that will just stop buying all together
At this particular time your main focus should be on keeping the customers you already have. King Solomon advised, "Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your heads; for riches do not endure forever…" (Proverbs 27:23-4 NIV). You need to pay close attention to your customers and make every effect to understand what they need and what they are willing to pay for.
Providing Alternatives
Restaurants may now consider offering lower cost alternatives like pasta dishes, less expensive cuts of meats, or lighter portions along with their staple offerings to give the more value-oriented customer a choice.
An office cleaning company began offering customers less frequent cleanings at a reduced price. When this less costly alternative was offered to one of its customers, they accepted the option rather than making the decision to do more of the cleaning themselves to save money.
Providing less expensive alternatives goes beyond just offering a cheaper version of the same thing; it is offering solid, value-orientated options for your customers.
Providing the Best Value
When under pressure some customers will be more inclined to accept competitive bids and check out other companies. In a past job position I took care of the purchasing in addition to other operational tasks. During an economic down turn I allocated more time to my purchasing duties by researching more cost-effective options. My research resulted in a change from some of our current suppliers, saving the owner of the business substantial money.
Lower cost suppliers may actually increase their opportunities in a tough market. For example, one company supplies replacement parts for mining equipment. During the boom in commodity prices many customers were inclined to automatically order from this original equipment manufacturer, placing their emphasis on fast delivery and a brand name.
However, during hard times, more customers were looking for an average savings of 15% an alternative supplier could provide. The alternate supplier actually began to increase their market shares and sales during the current slump.
Providing Incentives
Some customers just stop buying, or at least drastically reduce their spending when they feel economic pressures. Currently, more restaurant tables are empty, car lots are void of customers and clothing stores have fewer patrons as many decide they can do without the extras or the luxuries
Those who are severely pressured by the economic down turn probably cannot be enticed to buy. Others may be persuaded if you can clearly demonstrate certain benefits they find difficult to refuse.
For example, a dentist can explain the long-term consequences and costs of not treating a cavity. An oil change shop can remind potential customers of the repair costs that can present when routine maintenance is omitted.
Because your current customers are often your best prospects for new business, try bonuses like loyalty cards that offer a free meal after the customer has purchased ten meals, or offer greater discounts to businesses that purchase more volume or agree to long-term contracts.
Providing High Quality Service
Businesses must provide good value and high quality service especially in today's environment. A deli near my house was struggling with slow business days. In order to cut costs they began using day old bread and some of their salads became a bit tired looking. As a result, a slow business became no business and the place soon closed. The Prophet Amos wrote warned about this, "selling even the sweepings with the wheat" (Amos 8:6 NIV). Customers simply will not tolerate poor quality or service.
Always remember to return calls promptly; getting back to everyone quickly is very important. I needed an electrical repair job done recently and I contacted by email a man named Frank, an excellent electrician I had used in the past, leaving three phone messages over a week's time.
When I heard nothing back from Frank, I gave up and called someone else. When Frank finally did return my call, he told me he could sure use the work. I explained that when he did not call me back, I assumed he was not interested. While I could have waited a week for the work, I didn't want to wait a week for his return call.
Keep Your Focus
During this current economic challenge continue to focus with great respect on your current customers and treat them as you would desire to be treated at all times, not just during economic hardship. By offering less costly alternatives where possible, providing the best values, enticing with bonus incentives, and always keeping your quality of service high, you will have a greater percentage of your customers remain faithful to you and your company until the economic pendulum swings the other way once again.
- those that will look for less costly options when doing business with you
- those who will start looking for less costly suppliers
- those that will just stop buying all together
At this particular time your main focus should be on keeping the customers you already have. King Solomon advised, "Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your heads; for riches do not endure forever…" (Proverbs 27:23-4 NIV).

肯定自己.
题目:肯定自己
颜顺城
为什么我们要肯定自己在社会,教会,工作,家庭,关系等等??
1)我们对我们的认识? 请问你认识你自己吗? 你是怎样的人呢?
你是怎样的人, 如果你是一位积极的人和美好的思维就有美好的将来. 一位不能勇敢的面对自己的好处和短处就不能面对这个残酷的世界. 我认识我自己有很多好的恩赐.. 感谢主.
2)为什么肯定自己那么的重要在我日常生活里?
如果你能够在你自己的人生找到你的人生价值和健康的思想/思维. 那肯定对你的认识肯定是一定的增加.
圣经说:
我深信那在你们中间开始了美好工作的，到了基督耶稣的日子，必成全这工作。
3)当我们已经肯定我们自己对我们和别人有什么好处?
如果要成为一位出名影响力的成功者,领导者,基督徒就可以了解为什么我那么的肯定自己. 因为我是一位出名影响力的成功者,领导者,基督徒.
感谢主.....AMEN
结论我如已经做好了自己和我们本身的价值.
Finding Your Place
. . . being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6
Right now you may not be in a position to place others on your team. In fact, you may be thinking to yourself, How do I find my own niche? If that's the case, then follow these guidelines:
* Be secure - If you allow your insecurities to get the better of you, you'll be inflexible and reluctant to change. And you cannot grow without change.
* Get to know yourself - Spend time reflecting and exploring your gifts. Ask for feedback. Do what it takes to remove personal blind spots.
* Trust your leader - A good leader will help you to start moving in the right direction. Or get on another team.
* See the big picture - Your place on the team only makes sense in the context of the big picture. If your only motivation for finding your niche is personal gain, your poor motives may prevent you from discovering what you desire.
* Rely on your experience - The only way to know that you've discovered your niche is to try what seems right and learn from your failures and successes. When you discover what you were made for, your heart sings.

成为一位得胜者和克服困难.
克服困难.
1)勇于面对现实/面对问题.
我将这些事告诉你们、是要叫你们在我里面有平安。在世上你们有苦难．但你们可以放心、我已经胜了世界。 约16:33
2)问题只是暂时的.
你们所遇见的试探、无非是人所能受的、 神是信实的、必不叫你们受试探过于所能受的．在受试探的时候、总要给你们开一条出路、叫你们能忍受得住。歌前10:13
3)有危机就有良机
-拥有永不放弃的精神/永不地头的精神.
-Joseph就有一个反败为胜的精神这样一来生命就有意义.一起建立我们的舞台.
4)问题可以训练我们对神的信心和我个人的相信.
创 世 纪
12:1 耶和华对亚伯兰说、你要离开本地、本族、父家、往我所要指示你的地去。
12:2 我必叫你成为大国．我必赐福给你、叫你的名为大、你也要叫别人得福．
12:3 为你祝福的、我必赐福与他、那咒诅你的、我必咒诅他、地上的万族都要因你得福。
12:4 亚伯兰就照着耶和华的吩咐去了．罗得也和他同去．亚伯兰出哈兰的时候、年七十五岁。
12:5 亚伯兰将他妻子撒莱、和侄儿罗得、连他们在哈兰所积蓄的财物、所得的人口、都带往迦南地去．他们就到了迦南地。
12:6 亚伯兰经过那地、到了示剑地方摩利橡树那里．那时迦南人住在那地。
12:7 耶和华向亚伯兰显现、说、我要把这地赐给你的后裔．亚伯兰就在那里为向他显现的耶和华筑了一座坛。
12:8 从那里他又迁到伯特利东边的山、支搭帐棚．西边是伯特利、东边是艾．他在那里又为耶和华筑了一座坛、求告耶和华的名。
12:9 后来亚伯兰又渐渐迁往南地去。
12:10 那地遭遇饥荒、因饥荒甚大、亚伯兰就下埃及去、要在那里暂居。
12:11 将近埃及就对他妻子撒莱说、我知道你是容貌俊美的妇人．
12:12 埃及人看见你必说、这是他的妻子、他们就要杀我、却叫你存活。
12:13 求你说、你是我的妹子、使我因你得平安、我的命也因你存活。
12:14 及至亚伯兰到了埃及、埃及人看见那妇人极其美貌。
12:15 法老的臣宰看见了他、就在法老面前夸奖他．那妇人就被带进法老的宫去。
12:16 法老因这妇人就厚待亚伯兰、亚伯兰得了许多牛、羊、骆驼、公驴、母驴、仆婢。
12:17 耶和华因亚伯兰妻子撒莱的缘故、降大灾与法老和他的全家。
12:18 法老就召了亚伯兰来、说、你这向我作的是甚么事呢、为甚么没有告诉我他是你的妻子．
12:19 为甚么说、他是你的妹子、以致我把他取来要作我的妻子．现在你的妻子在这里、可以带他走吧。
12:20 于是法老吩咐人将亚伯兰和他妻子、并他所有的都送走了。
-这就是信心.反败为胜的精神

Leadership Lessons from an Ant
Leadership Lessons from an Ant
Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, which, having no captain, overseer or ruler, provides her supplies in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest. Proverbs 6:6-8
Do you want to make a difference? Then pay attention to the metaphor of the ant. It's amazing that one of the smallest of God's creatures can become one of His greatest teachers. The lessons the ant teaches us can be summarized this way:
A- Attitude of Initiative
Ants don't need a commander to tell them to get started.
N- Nature of Integrity
Ants work faithfully and need no outside accountability to keep them doing right.
T- Thirst for Industry
Ants work hard and will replace their anthill when it gets ruined.
S- Source of Insight
Ants store provisions in summer.
If we consider and learn from the ways of the ant, we can grow wise.
The Maxwell Leadership Bible

人生目标的原则
一）订立人生目标的原则
营销人员在设定人生目标的时候，要注意符合SMART原则，所谓的S—M—A—R—T是指如下的五个方面：
1.明确具体（Specific）
目标不能够模糊，不能够模棱两可，似是而非。目标要能够追求，必须清晰、具体、明确，这样的目标才具有导向性。
所以有一位哲人曾说，活人与死人的区别之一在于活人有清晰的人生目标，并把它写下来。如果有想法，但没有搞得很具体、很清楚，这种人我们称他为半死不活的人。
2.可视觉化（Marked）
要尽量使目标可视觉化。比如我要得到一所大房子，那就在房地产海报上剪一个大房子贴在墙上，不断激励你自己；想买一部高级轿车，就可以先剪一部车的广告画或摆放一个漂亮的汽车模型，不断地去激励自己，不断地刺激自己的潜意识。这样的目标一定要视觉化，一定要可激励化。
3.可量化（Amount）
这是目标要具体化的另一个方面，即如何对目标的实现进行衡量。如果将目标量化，规定完成销售额300万，这样就可以和具体完成情况相对比，判断目标是否完成。
4.务实可行（Reasonable）
目标应该是跳一跳够得着的，不要去定那种非常虚无缥缈的目标。目标太高、太大、太虚，对我们人生是没有激励意义的。
5.时间限期 （Time）
任何目标都应该对应于一段时间，在某段时间中，我们应该达到或实现什么样的结果。如果没有时间概念，完成目标永远可以向后无限地延迟，这样的目标也是没有任何激励作用的。

人生销售的三大问题
（一）人生的三大问题
十多年前有一本书《苏菲的日记》十分畅销，书中谈到了人生有三大问：
第一问：我是谁？也就是说人要有自知之明，要充分了解自己的长短、喜好和能力高低。我是谁，其要义是要做好人生的定位。
第二问：我要到哪里去？在准确衡量好自己的深浅之后，必须要制定自己的人生发展目标。
第三问：我将如何去？制定好发展目标后，为实现这一目标，我们要制定具体的计划，不断地学习，不断地探索，不断地接近目标。
回答上面三个看似简单的问题，实际上就是在制定自己的人生规划。如果一个人从来没有做过人生规划，他就会像大海上的一叶孤舟，随波逐流；也会像踩西瓜皮一样，滑到哪里算哪里，这样的人生注定是失控的、盲目的。
人生的三大问题
我是谁？ ——定位
到哪里去？——目标
如何去？——计划
（二）销售与计划
无目标、无计划、无追求的销售活动则是失控的、无效的。
营销人员要做好销售工作，首先要对自己的职业生涯进行合理的规划，确定一个目标。当我们开始面对销售工作时，首先应当问自己三个问题：
第一，我喜欢做销售吗？
第二，我适合做吗？
第三，我做这个销售工作，能够给我带来大量收入吗？
销售的职业特性
营销人员的职业类别是属于自由职业，而不是属于一
般工薪阶层，他的收入不是固定的，是随着业
绩增长而增长的。所以，营销人员就好像个体
户，是借助企业的平台，自己给自己打工，赚
钱与否完全取决于营销人员自己的勤奋和努力。
对于销售队伍来说，没有目标，没有计划，就没有最终的销售活动，或者说销售活动常常是失控的，是无效的。
你喜欢销售工作吗？你认为自己适合做销售吗？

Applying Faith When Economic Fear Strikes
Avoiding Unhealthy Fear
The economic earthquake rocking America and the world is bringing great change to the financial landscape. Our choice as Christians is to turn to the Lord for wisdom and guidance rather than become slaves to fear.
According to Chad Moler there are 365 “fear not” references in the Bible, one for every day of the year. The Lord knew in turbulent times we would need constant reminders to place our trust in Him. Paul wrote, “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and self-discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7 NIV).
A key principle to remember when we experience fear is to differentiate between healthy fear and unhealthy fear. For example, I live in the State of Arizona in close proximity to mountain lions. In the unlikely event a mountain lion would stalk me, experiencing normal appropriate fear would allow me to take immediate action and get out of the way. Experiencing inappropriate fear would convince me to never go for a walk because I might get attacked by a mountain lion. Healthy appropriate fear prompts us to correct action, while unhealthy fear can paralyze us.
Steps for Creating a Faith Attitude
1. We need to turn to the Lord for wisdom, not the Wall Street “experts.” King Solomon wrote, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your path straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV). Trust is a choice. Since we choose to trust our spouse and choose to trust certain news sources, we can therefore choose to trust the Lord.
2. We must remember Scripture’s admonition, “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7 NIV). When we struggle with apprehension, our stomach churns and our heart flutters. Instead of allowing ourselves to be overwhelmed, we have the ability to cast all our care upon the Lord. Even if we struggle to release our fears, we can ask the Lord to remove them through prayer.
3. We need to ask for God’s peace and direction. James wrote, “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault” (James 1:5 NIV). In prayer ask the Lord to give you wisdom, direction and peace even when others are confused and fearful. Ask the Lord for the specific steps he would have you take. A specific direction from God in your circumstance will be far more powerful than any so-called “expert” advice.
4. When the pressure builds, we need to take hold of God’s promise as Paul expressed so well, “My God will meet all your needs” (Philippians 4:19 NIV). However, we must remember that while the Lord is faithful to provide all our needs, he has not promised to meet every desire we have.
Drought Comes to the Just and the Unjust
The Lord sent a drought to Israel and the Prophet Elijah suffered the consequences of that drought along with the remnant of the faithful who had never bowed to the false god Baal. Although Scripture demonstrates how the Lord provided for Elijah, (see 1 Kings 17) keeping Elijah alive by his direct intervention, Elijah was allowed to suffer during the drought. Likewise, in a brutal financial environment, the pain will be shared by the just and the unjust. The Lord will see us through this time of financial hardship but we must be prepared to experience a certain level of personal difficulty.
Setting Appropriate Action
First, because in our fast paced world facts can be elusive, we must take the appropriate amount of time to determine what the facts really are. The Lord can give us divine clarity to see and evaluate the real facts in a confusing situation. With the financial world presenting us with more and more talking heads with differing perspectives based on conflicting facts, only God can help us sort out the fact from the fiction.
Second, once we receive clarity, we need to take appropriate action without delay. As King Solomon wrote, “How long will you fools fight the facts?” (Proverbs 1:22 NLT). Whatever action the Lord impresses us to take; we need to act on that promptly.
The Lord has provided a pathway that moves us from fear to faith. As we make the choice to embrace the Lord and his wisdom, direction, and peace through faith, we become a shining light for the Lord. That light, even during the darkest economic times, is a light that can guide many to a relationship with Christ. Together may we all be Christ’s light in the current darkness.

The economic earthquake rocking America and the world is bringing great change to the financial landscape. Our choice as Christians is to turn to the Lord for wisdom and guidance rather than become slaves to fear.
According to Chad Moler there are 365 “fear not” references in the Bible, one for every day of the year. The Lord knew in turbulent times we would need constant reminders to place our trust in Him. Paul wrote, “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and self-discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7 NIV).
A key principle to remember when we experience fear is to differentiate between healthy fear and unhealthy fear. For example, I live in the State of Arizona in close proximity to mountain lions. In the unlikely event a mountain lion would stalk me, experiencing normal appropriate fear would allow me to take immediate action and get out of the way. Experiencing inappropriate fear would convince me to never go for a walk because I might get attacked by a mountain lion. Healthy appropriate fear prompts us to correct action, while unhealthy fear can paralyze us.

神所对付的人? 我所对付的我自己.
在我的人生生活里, 有许多方面的错误观点,许多犯错误的地方,许多没有纪律处分.导致我们陷入困境,贫苦,挫折,失败,等等.最重要的是我们的关系与神离开了.是什么原因呢?
1.骄傲
2.有老我
3.犯罪.等等.
最主要的是我们的老我... 所以我的上帝,爱我的上帝要对我做的事情就是:对付我,破碎我,创造我,提升我.
A)对付.. 神要对付一个人(我)是因为我们心里的高傲,不谦虚谨慎. 所以我被对付. 马太11.29[我心里柔和谦虚谨慎,你们当负我的帆,学我的样式;这样,你们心里就必的享平安] 神喜悦谦虚谨慎.谦虚谨慎是一种温柔,是柔中带刚,刚中带柔.
B)破碎我..不是每个被神对付的人都已经被破碎的.因为,有些人虽然被神对付,怯不明白是神的手在工作. 而以为是人的手在对付他,这人就会变得更刚硬.虽然他也想改变,但怯不能,因为老我还没有真正被神破碎.
C)塑造我..被神破碎的人才能真正被塑造的.这样我们才变得我们的神所爱我的形象.如..有爱心,谦虚谨慎,忍耐等等..
D)提升我..神能照着运行在我们心里的大力,充充足足的成就一切,超过我们所求所想.

Seven-Step Solution to the Economic Crisis
Seven-Step Solution to the Economic Crisis
In light of the massive amount of signs pointing to what some are calling the “economic crisis of a century,” an “economic Pearl Harbor,” or a “financial tsunami, including the collapse or near collapse of some of largest financial institutions in American history, I believe we all have reason now to ask: “What can I do to help solve this problem?” I for one believe it is time we stop looking to the federal government as the final solution and mobilize the grassroots of this nation to bring about the economic change that is desperately needed.
Here are the steps I believe will solve this crisis by each of us doing our part to fight this on a personal, local level.
Step 1: Ask God to Help
The most glaring error in all the news reports, public debate, and political rhetoric is that I have yet to hear any leader make reference for our collective need to look beyond ourselves for a solution and turn to God Almighty. Yet, when I read of our political leaders identifying the root cause of this meltdown as “greed,” it is as if we have forgotten that greed and its resulting consequences is a heart problem, not a policy problem.
The Scripture teaches that money is not the solution to money problems. In fact, it says that whoever loves money never has enough, and that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Money problems are heart problems and can only be solved by a change of heart initiated by repentance.
“When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:13-14, NIV).
Step Two – A New American Dream
I would call for an emergency economic recovery plan for American citizens to begin immediately. The plan would be for every American to get his or her personal house in order as quickly as possible. Throughout our history, we have shown that when leaders have called upon and trusted in the power and capacity of the voluntary efforts of the American people, we have risen to the challenge. We are a resilient people, willing to do our part in times of crisis. When there is a call to action, we will take up the challenge with great resolve.
As followers of Christ we should be prepared if we must endure another Great Depression. We must show the world that what holds us together is not a political system, as great as it may be; it is not capitalism, as great as it may be; nor is it even the democracy that has made this nation great. It is the living out of our motto printed on our coins: In God We Trust. The real economic recovery needed is the recovery of the Biblical values we hold dear. Call it "The New American Dream - Living Within Our Means," a concept as old as the Scripture itself. It was God who taught us to:
1. Honor God with our wealth.
2. Save but do not hoard.
3. Get out of debt.
4. Invest wisely and steadily.
Simply put, God wants us to live within our means so we can be free from all financial bondage. I would call for churches, businessmen, and the educational sector to implement programs to lead the way.
Step Three - Become Culture Contrarians
Ask for the American citizens to show the way for the change we need. We have reversed the sense of order in our nation.
Support measures that create accountability for government officials to get our federal, state, and local governments fiscally responsible. How can we demand change when we reflect the same lack of self control demonstrated by the spending habits of our government?
We must lead, not wait to be led.
Step Four – Call For Non-Governmental Solutions for the Hurting
I call on the business community to develop programs that help the real backbone of this culture, the work force. Reward your employees who want out of the financial trap they are in. Have a contest or offer assistance to help people to sell their houses, to downsize, to get rid of the gas-guzzler, or to pay off mountains of credit card debt.
As the great unwind takes place, seize the opportunity to help. Offer flexible schedules for the work-at-home parents. Have an assistance plan to avoid foreclosure for those who will live on a budget and make necessary lifestyle changes. Have a Frugal Friday where everyone brings their lunches, shares rides, and reduces wasteful spending. Give a cash prize or gift card to those who have new ideas and ways to help improve the financial health of the company or its employees. Encourage helping others in the company and reward those who take initiative to do that.
Step Five – Mobilize the Power of Serving Each Other
I would call for a renewed purpose for neighbors and community service groups to find out how they can innovatively help those facing foreclosure in their communities. Step up and ask God for creative solutions that negate the need for a government solution. Many people simply need someone to help them see through the pressure and stress they face. Mobilize volunteers who have the capacity to coach and counsel others in their time of need.
Knock on a neighbor’s door and ask if you can be of any help. Recommend they turn to Crown where they can find a trained financial coach for free.
Ask a retired banker, stockbroker or financial planner if they will help individuals learn basic money management skills rooted in Biblical principles. Invite them to speak up in churches, lunch meetings, or in a community room of your apartment complex. Look for wisdom and soak it up when you find it.
Set up assistance programs among professional associations that rewards being wise with money. Make living within your means the expected culture in your groups. Pastors, doctors, lawyers, bikers, athletes, car dealers, counselors, retired people, educators, and many more all have large associations that can mobilize people to help others. Make it a goal that your association will implement a new plan to educate those who struggle with financial issues.
Step Six – Shift our Dependency
God warned us that we must never place our hopes in anything or anyone other than Him. Idolatry is seldom even mentioned in our culture any longer. It has become the norm to replace our dependency on God with an exalted view of education, wealth, athletic ability, travel, entertainment, or power. Hebrews 13:5-6 says, “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.' So we say with confidence, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?' " (NIV).
This passage comes with a warning and a promise: money will leave you, Jesus will not. Place your hopes and dreams in a temporal idol and you will have temporal hopes and dreams, but place all of your hopes in Him and He will never disappoint you.
Step Seven – Grow Deep for Stormy Days Ahead
As simple as it may sound, our nation is starved for Truth, for the security of immutable principles and policies. That Truth is found only in knowing and applying God’s Word. For the days ahead, we must anchor our souls in Truth like the comfort found in
I Chronicles 29:11-12: “Everything in the heavens and earth is Yours, O Lord, and this is Your kingdom. We adore you as being in control of everything. Riches and honor come from you alone, and you are the Ruler of all mankind; Your hand controls power and might, and it is at your discretion that men are made great and given strength” (LB).
Summary
These are the seven steps that I believe will provide a lasting solution for the economic crisis we face. Anything short may postpone the pain but will not solve the root problem.
Our motivation should be to get our own house in order and prepare to serve those around us who are neither prepared or expecting the challenges we will face. The real antidote to our economic woes lies in our heart…in our beliefs…in our values…in our faith in God.

把自己做成品牌
“这回在北京吃了一顿真功夫。”“真功夫是啥啊？”“哎呀，这你都不知道啊，新开的中国快餐店，蒸品餐厅，中国功夫嘛。地球人都知道，你咋不知道呢？”
“差点没有赶上，北京的交通真是堵得厉害，哎呀，我呜呜跑啊。差点累死。到了还
首付10万买写字楼 荣尊堡2005经典回顾
祝福亲友 歌声传情 夏新首售双核笔记本！
得帮你们扛行李。”“男人就应该对自己狠一点！给我们扛行李是我们给你机会让你能对自己狠一点。哈哈……”
拥挤的车厢中我坐在皮箱上，听着人们用时下流行的广告语相互打趣，也被感染地快乐起来。
这使我想到了一个人，老百姓经常用他创意的广告语开玩笑,却并不熟悉他，但是企业营销策划界的人对他却不会陌生。他，1968年5月31日出生,江苏人；叶茂中营销策划机构董事长、南京理工大学工商管理硕士研究生导师；1997年中国最佳菅销策划案例策划金奖获得者，中国十大策划人之一；1998年中国十大营销经典案例策划奖获得者；2000年中国企业十大著名策划案例奖获得者，中国企业十大策划家之一；2003年入选中国十大广告公司经理人。擅长企业的营销策划和品牌整合设计，在实践中形成自己的理论和动作体系，为上百家企业进行整合营销传播策划，以准确的定位手段和表现手法屡屡为企业创造佳绩。他就是业界被称为“鬼才”的叶茂中。以上人等提到的,人们耳熟能详的广告语和产品都是经由他的公司策划并实施传播的。
提起鬼才这个称号，我想起了一个小故事，有位著名小提琴演奏家在一次演出结束后对朋友抱怨，“我从7岁开始练琴，每天练习十几个小时，而那些记者们竟然叫我‘天才’！”天才的含义多的是上天赋予的能力，小提琴演奏家觉得记者们否认了他的勤奋，他认为自己的成绩更多是来源于勤奋，而鬼才很大程度上也有这样的问题，总是因为一些未知的赋予而造就了一个什么人。看看叶茂中本人怎么说,“我的每次策划，每次咨询，每个创意都要做的对得起企业。拿人钱财与人‘消灾’，这个是根本原则。”
有这样的传说，叶茂中会因为想不出好的创意狠抽自己耳光，或者绝食。会因为下属的前期调研不到位，整个的推翻重新来做，自己做，并因此不眠不休，会因为某个广告效果先期的预期是上升120%，而因为真实效果上升78%而心意难平，直接的结果是他愤怒地把桌子上的东西扔一地。间接的结果是再来一次重新认识、修正，再来，直到达到预期或者超出预期。
很显然，叶茂中的个人性格有偏执的一面，他总是固执地认为有缘分才可以合作，既然合作了就要对得起这个缘分，而且总是偏执到认为，叶茂中一定要做到承诺的额度，没有达成就一定是失败的。他对于失败的定义几乎要了自己的命。“有两年，我需要吃药镇定心神，那时侯我常常会有自杀的想法。我怕负担不了别人的希望和期待。”
业界都知道叶茂中推崇狼的精神,团队协作,做事拼命,剑走偏锋,崇尚高销售额,事实证明,他是成功的,回顾叶茂中策划的所有案例，对照中国本土营销咨询策划的发展，他是浓墨重彩的一笔，当年国内营销策划还处于出“点子”的时候,他已经为中国的营销咨询和策划传播开启了一扇大门，写出了影响整整一代人的《广告人手记》(1996年),《转身看策划》(1999年)。
“我们接手之后,会做详细的调研,根据产品特性进行创意,成案后的评估也很关键。当然这是指传播,至于营销流程再造,如果交给我们了,我们也会根据我们对于企业的了解进行分析并且进行相关再造,这个周期往往很长,因为了解一个企业整体的运作和问题的解决不是几个月就可以完成的。”叶茂中的很多操作方式成为后来者模仿的圭臬，可以这样说，他很大程度上他推动了中国本土营销咨询策划传播的发展。
某次，他说,“我不是叶茂中。”这句话我赞成,“叶茂中”这个符号已经不仅仅是一个男人的名字,他代表着一个公司,一个品牌,一种工作态度,代表着快速的品牌定位能力,代表着高销售额的利润回报,代表着营销机构对于企业的服务质量。他是一个标志,他标志着中国营销策划的发展历程。他是一个证明,证明本土策划机构经过发展已经逐渐成熟。
“要懂得分享。”这是叶茂中常说的话,他近年来亲手操作的策划案例和研究成果均汇集成册,2006年初,叶茂中的两本新书:《叶茂中策划?做卷》已经出版上市，《叶茂中策划?想卷》也即将与读者见面。想卷主要介绍叶茂中营销策划理论,而做卷是以案例分析为主,以近距离的角度解析近年来叶茂中策划机构接手的案例。基本上叶氏理论的成功要诀都涵盖在这两本书中。
有句话说得好,“大多数人是因为看见才相信,只有少数人是因为相信而看得见”,我想叶茂中会做的更好。不仅是因为我们看见了,还因为我们相信他。
“差点没有赶上，北京的交通真是堵得厉害，哎呀，我呜呜跑啊。差点累死。到了还
首付10万买写字楼 荣尊堡2005经典回顾
祝福亲友 歌声传情 夏新首售双核笔记本！
得帮你们扛行李。”“男人就应该对自己狠一点！给我们扛行李是我们给你机会让你能对自己狠一点。哈哈……”
拥挤的车厢中我坐在皮箱上，听着人们用时下流行的广告语相互打趣，也被感染地快乐起来。
这使我想到了一个人，老百姓经常用他创意的广告语开玩笑,却并不熟悉他，但是企业营销策划界的人对他却不会陌生。他，1968年5月31日出生,江苏人；叶茂中营销策划机构董事长、南京理工大学工商管理硕士研究生导师；1997年中国最佳菅销策划案例策划金奖获得者，中国十大策划人之一；1998年中国十大营销经典案例策划奖获得者；2000年中国企业十大著名策划案例奖获得者，中国企业十大策划家之一；2003年入选中国十大广告公司经理人。擅长企业的营销策划和品牌整合设计，在实践中形成自己的理论和动作体系，为上百家企业进行整合营销传播策划，以准确的定位手段和表现手法屡屡为企业创造佳绩。他就是业界被称为“鬼才”的叶茂中。以上人等提到的,人们耳熟能详的广告语和产品都是经由他的公司策划并实施传播的。
提起鬼才这个称号，我想起了一个小故事，有位著名小提琴演奏家在一次演出结束后对朋友抱怨，“我从7岁开始练琴，每天练习十几个小时，而那些记者们竟然叫我‘天才’！”天才的含义多的是上天赋予的能力，小提琴演奏家觉得记者们否认了他的勤奋，他认为自己的成绩更多是来源于勤奋，而鬼才很大程度上也有这样的问题，总是因为一些未知的赋予而造就了一个什么人。看看叶茂中本人怎么说,“我的每次策划，每次咨询，每个创意都要做的对得起企业。拿人钱财与人‘消灾’，这个是根本原则。”

最富有的时候, 就是最穷的时候..
亚当是某某咨询公司的总裁,也是清寒学童的主要赞助人.有一天,他在媒体采访中披露,他这一生中最富有的时候,其实就是他以为最贫穷的时候.
亚当总共有六个兄弟姐妹,他是长子,15年那年,做消防员的父亲不幸在火灾中
丧生,然后母亲靠着替人洗碗打工养活全家,常常三餐就只有几块面包.他最无法忘记的是有一次,妹妹生病了,好不容易走了十几里路向亲戚借钱看病,
怯被赶出来.从此,亚当一直为此自卑,且平平淡淡.
有一天早晨,母亲对亚当说:"今天放学后不要去打工早点回家吧!我们家有客人!"
亚当简单不敢相信,家里这么穷,亲友都躲都来不及,怎么会有客人呢?又怎么拿得
出东西来请客?
傍晚, 亚当带着迟疑的脚步走进家门,怯见狭小的家中挤了五,六个小朋友,吃着母亲为他们预备的马铃薯.玉米.面包……, 并跟他的弟弟妹妹快乐的玩在一起,眼前这一切令他完全不能明白??
母亲走过来告诉他:"这几位都是孤儿院的小朋友,以后我们每年要请他们到我们家里来吃饭.!"
那天夜晚临睡前,母亲告诉他:" 亚当, 你要记得, 你不贫穷,也不比别人悲惨! 你可以帮助这些孤儿, 你很富有喔!" 从此, 亚当的人生完全改观, 因为妈妈让他知道自己很富有..
如今, 亚当是名成功的商人, 他说:" 我的富有不是因为事业成功. 而是因为我有一位在最贫穷的时候, 还愿意付出的母亲:而我的母亲, 他有一位无限富有的上帝...

耶和华的山...
要成功,要从低爬起来,必须牺牲我自己的后路. "全力以赴,牺牲自我" 因为我知道惟有面对许多的失败,挫折,拒绝,阻碍,困境,嘲笑,批评.才能登上神的山..
要做到自我放松, 无我, 有我,… 心境很静…. 想念神… 心境想念神..
要成功就要学习不用肉眼去看, 不用肉耳去听, 不用身体去行事…
要心眼,心耳,心灵深处去行事…
"不行动比起行动来的痛苦大得多"
光凴着眼睛,声音是无法分辨真实.心境成无才能了解更多的事情….

神要我们认识他的五种方式.
出埃及记34.6
神说他是有怜悯,有恩典,不轻易发怒的,丰盛的慈爱和诚实的神
第一 怜悯=你要成为有怜悯的人,总要很快饶恕.在你的态度上恩典上恩待你的人.
第二 忍耐=耐心人,运用内在的力量控制你的怒气.
第三 慈爱=没有能力去害人,设计人;最后,成为一个行在真理中的人.

What Is Your Values???
Psalm 91.4
Overview: "Tolerance" Seems to be Quite The " Buzz Word" today. Christians are routinely accused of being "intolerant". But what is tolerance and how does it mesh with values?
What is our values?
- Does you see how good God is? He keeps on knocking.
- He never makes our burden so heavy that we cannot carry it.
- And, He comes to us and helps us when we need it most.
This is what i'd learned about today "What is my Values"??
I'm alwayz asking myself "What Is My Values In My Business And My Life"
Thanks God For Everything You had Done To Me.!!!

Marketplace
Mission
- In pursuit of Christ's eternal objectives, we equip and encourage business leaders to operate their businesses and conduct their personal lives in accordance with biblical principles.
- As we do, we thrive personally, professionally, and in serving others. Our influence grows, our lives become an example for others to follow and Christ is honored in the workplace
- Bring together in faith, a fellowship of companies whose leaders desire to glorify Jesus Christ in every aspect of their businesses.
- Create a forum for business leaders; owners, executives, entrepreneurs and professionals to join in collective sharing that will increase the faith of participants and better prepare them to handle daily business situations in a manner glorifying Christ in spirit and truth.
- Encourage business leaders to assemble regularly for specific times of earnest prayer together, believing that God will especially honor this prayer time.
- Exhort business leaders to an "obedient Christian walk" that will help bring into perspective such questions as "What is God's purpose for me in business?" "What is God's plan for my life and where does my family fit?" "Will I give God an opportunity to impact eternity though my 'availability'?"
- Encourage an environment conducive to growth in Christ; believing that we grow better in the fellowship of others who are growing.
- Provide fellowship on the basis of regeneration (new birth) and heart for God, emphasizing unity in the body of Christ through God's supernatural agape love.
- Share with each other the ways in which we have attempted to bring glory to Jesus, while recognizing that the Holy Spirit works uniquely through our individual personalities.
- Encourage each other toward the purposes of FCCI, without legalism or condemnation, with the full understanding that people are free to disagree on the non-essentials left open to individual choice.
- Encourage the business leader and his or her spouse to participate together in all aspects of FCCI, believing that it is essential to family unity for business leaders and spouses to be in one accord on business matters.
- Encourage each other to catch the vision of much good fruit being borne for Jesus through "abiding in the vine" resulting in the generous giving of one's talent, time and treasure.
- Provide biblical resource information, based upon Holy Scripture with the goal that the business leaders would implement these areas.
