Staying On The Right Path
行在正道上
Focus Verse
重点经文
Philippians 4:11-13: I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
腓力比书 4 章11-13 节：我不是因为缺乏说这话，我已经学会了无论在什么景况都可以知足。我了解什么是缺乏，也了解什么是富足， 无论是饱足，是饥饿，是有余，是缺乏，我都学会了在任何境况下满足的秘诀。我借着那加给我力量的凡事都能做。

Success Comes From Having The Right Goals
成功来自建立正确的目标
God’s goal for your life begins with who you are on the basis of what God has already done for you (See 2 Peter 1:3-10).
上帝给你生活的目标起点是从你是谁开始的，以上帝已经为你所做的事情为基础（见彼得后书1 章3-10节）。
We start with what we believe (faith). Our primary job then is diligently to adopt God’s character goals--- goodness (moral excellence), knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and Christian love --- and apply them to our lives. Focusing on God’s goals will lead to success in God’s terms.
我们从自己所信的内容开始（信仰）. 我们的主要工作是勤勉地采用上帝的性格目标---良善（道德优秀），知识，自我节制，坚韧，圣洁，兄弟般的恩慈和基督的爱---把它们应用到我们的生命中。 以上帝的目标为中心，将带来上帝所定义的成功。
Reaching God’s goals is not dependent on other people or talents, intelligence or gifts. Every Christian can know who they are in Christ and grow in character.
达到上帝的目标不取决于其他人或自己的才干，智慧或者天赋。每个基督徒都能知道他们自己是谁并且在性格上成长。
For Joshua, success hinged entirely on one thing: whether or not he lived according to what God had said (Joshua 1:7,8).
对约书亚来说，成功仅取决于一件事：他是否照着上帝所说的生活了（约书亚记1 章7-8 节）。
Success is accepting God’s goal for our lives and by His grace becoming what He has called us to be.
成功是接受上帝给我们生命所定的目标，并籍着他的恩典成为他召我们要我们成为的人。
Significance Comes From Proper Use of Time
意义来自于妥善利用时间
What is forgotten in time is of little significance. What is remembered for eternity is of great significance.
随时间被遗忘的事意义很小，在永恒里有记忆的事意义极大。
“If any man’s work… remains, he shall receive a reward.” (1 Corinthians 3:14)
“如果人所造的。。。。存得住，他就要得赏赐。”（哥林多前书3 章14节）
“Training yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” (1 Timothy 4:7,8)
“在敬虔上操练自己。操练身体，益处还少，唯独敬虔， 凡事都有益处，因有来生和今生的应许。”（提摩太后书4章7-8节）。
If you want to increase your significance, focus your energies on significant activities: those that will remain for eternity.
如果你想提高你的意义，把你的能量用在有意义的活动上：那些能留到永恒的事情上。
Fulfillment Comes From Serving Others
充实来自于服务别人
“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” (1 Peter 4:10).
“各人要照所得的天赋服侍别人，忠心施行神的各样恩典。”（彼得前书4章10节）。
Fulfillment is discovering our own uniqueness in Christ and using our gifts and talents to build others up and glorify the Lord.
充实是发现我们自己在基督里的独特性，并用我们的天赋才能去建立他人，荣耀主。
The key is to discover the roles we occupy in which we cannot be replaced, and then decide to be the person God wants us to be in those roles.
关键在于发现我们不可被别人替代的角色，并决定在那些角色里成为上帝要我们成为的人。d们有权利批评别稣相通een merciful to us ( uulu
Satisfaction Comes From Living A Quality Life
满足来源于活出一个优质的生命
Satisfaction comes from living righteously and seeking to raise the level of quality in our relationships and in what we do.
满足感来源于过一个公义的生活， 并寻求提高我们与神与人关系的质量，和我们所作事情的质量。
“Blessed are those hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” (Matthew 5:6)
“饥渴慕义的人有福了，他们必得饱足。” （马太福音5章6节）
Satisfaction is a quality issue, not a quantity issue. The key to personal satisfaction is not found in doing more things but in keeping our commitment to quality in the things that we are already doing.
满足感是一个质量问题，不是个数量问题。 个人满足的关键不在于做更多的事，而在于在我们已经做的事情当中坚持我们的承诺，做出质量来。
Happiness Comes From Wanting What We Have
幸福来源于想往我们所有的东西
The world’s concept of happiness is having what we want. Yet true happiness is wanting what we have.
世界的幸福概念是拥有我们想要的。但真正的幸福是想往我们已有的。
“Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.” (1Timothy 6:6-8)
“敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了。 因为我们没有带什么到世上来，也不能带什么去，只要有衣有食，就当知足。” （提摩太前书6章6-8节）
If we focus on what we don’t have, we’ll be unhappy. If we begin to appreciate what we already have, we’ll be happy all our lives.
如果我们强调我们没有的东西，我们就会不快乐。如果我们开始感激我们已经有的，我们就会一生幸福。
Fun Comes From Enjoying Life Moment By Moment
乐趣来自于每一时每一刻地享受生活
Fun comes from throwing off inhibitions and being spontaneous. The secret is to remove unbiblical hindrances such as keeping up appearances.
It is a lot more fun pleasing the Lord than trying to please people.
乐趣来源于抛弃阻拦，随性自发。秘诀是除去不合圣经的拦阻，比如要维持外表的酷桎。
取悦于上帝比试图取悦于人乐趣多的多！
Security Comes From Focusing On Eternal Values
安全感来自于看重永恒价值
We feel insecure when we depend upon earthly things that we have no right or ability to control. We can only find real security in the eternal life of Christ.
当我们依靠我们没有权利或能力控制的地上事情时，我们感到不安全。 我们只有在基督的永恒生命中找到真正的安全感。
Jesus said no one can snatch us out of His hand (John 10: 27-29).
耶稣说没人能把我们从他手中夺去 (约翰福音10章27-29节)。
Paul declared that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ (Romans 8: 35-39) and that we are sealed “in Him” by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1: 13, 14).
保罗宣告说没有什么能把我们与神在基督里的爱相隔绝（罗马书8章35-39）而且我们在他里面已经盖上了圣灵的印记（以弗所书1章13-14 节）。
“He is no fool to give up that which he cannot keep in order to gain that which he cannot lose.” Jim Elliot
“那放弃不能保存的东西，以便获得他不会失去的东西的人，决不愚笨。” ----- 吉姆。艾略特。
Peace Comes From Quieting The Inner Storm
平安来源于平息内心的风暴
Nobody can guarantee external peace because nobody can control people or circumstances.
无人能保障外面的平安，因为无人能控制别人和环境。
The peace of God is internal, not external.
上帝的和平是内心的，不是外部的。
Peace with God is something we already have (Romans 5:1).
我们已经有了与神之间的和好。（罗马书5章1节）
The peace of God is something we need to take hold of everyday in our inner person. We can have the internal peace of God even in the midst of storms that rage in the external world.
来自上帝的平安是我们需要每天都在内心里紧紧抓住的。即使是在外部世界的狂风暴雨中，我们也能有来自神的内心和平。
“My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27)
“我留下平安给你们。我所赐的，不像世人所赐的，你们心里不要忧愁，也不要胆怯。”（约翰福音14章27节）
It’s The First Day Of The Rest Of Your Life
这是你未来生活的第一天
Walking by faith comes down to making a decision everyday to believe what God says is true and living accordingly by the power of the Holy Spirit.
靠信仰而行归结为每天做一个决定，相信上帝所说为真， 并相应地借着圣灵的能力而生活。
Truth sets us free and we are transformed by the renewing of our minds.
真理让我们得自由，我们因为头脑更新而改变。
Nothing and no one can prevent you from becoming the person God wants you to be – it hinges solely on your decision to adopt God’s goal for your life.
没有任何事任何人能阻拦你成为上帝要你成为的人—这只取决于你的决定：采纳上帝给你生命设定的目标。
I am part of the “Fellowship of the unashamed”. I have Holy Spirit Power. The die has been cast. I’ve stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of His. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low-living, sight-walking, small-planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, miserly giving, and dwarfted goals!
我是“无愧团队”的一员。 我有圣灵的能力。牌已经出手，我已经跨出了这条线，决定已做。我是他的门徒。我不会向后看，或停止，或减速，或后退，或静止不动。我的过去已得救赎，我的现在有意义，我的未来有安全。我已经彻底告别了低劣生存，见风而行，微小计划，软膝盖，无彩的梦想，被束缚的视野，庸俗的常谈，吝啬的施与，以及缩小的目标。
I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer and labor by power.
我不再需要在世上杰出，发达，有地位，受提拔，受欢迎或追捧。 我不必一定正确，或第一，或被人承认，赞扬，尊敬或得报偿。现在我活在当下，用信心学习，以耐心去爱，以祷告被提升，以能力劳动。
My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is in heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised， detoured, lured away, turned back or diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
我的面容已定，我的步伐轻快，我的目标是天国，我的道路是窄路，我的路途坎坷，我的同伴不多，我的引路人可靠，我的任务清楚。我不会被收买，妥协，走偏离，被诱走，转回头，变薄弱，或者被拦阻拖延。我不会在牺牲面前退缩，在敌对者面前犹豫，在敌人的桌前谈条件，在名声的河里思想，或在庸碌的迷宫里碾转。
I won’t give up, shut up, let up or burn up till I’ve preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up and stayed up for the cause of Christ.
在我为了基督的事业将福音传遍，祷告完毕，付完了代价，存够了天国财宝，并且熬足了夜以前，我不会放弃，闭嘴，停止，或者精力枯竭，
I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops.
我是耶稣的门徒，我必须要去，直到他再来，要给与直到我舍掉，传扬福音直到尽人皆知，并要努力直到他停止。
And when He comes to get His own, He will have no problems recognizing me. My colors will be clear.
当他来迎接属他的人，他不会认不出我来， 我的颜色是清楚的。
