神就是爱
May 4th, 2025
这四个字改变了宇宙,也改变了我们的⽣命……神就是爱。ὁ Θεὸς ἀγάπη ἐστίν(ho Theos agapē estin)圣经中有很多关于神品格的描述,⽐如祂的⽆所不知、⽆所不能、忍耐和慈爱——但只有极少数的经⽂,直接告诉我们神的本质是什么。神的本质就是爱。⽽这其中蕴含着⼀个极其有⼒的真理:既然我们是在基督⾥成为祂的⼉⼦,祂就把祂的爱——也就是祂⾃⼰——放在了我们⾥⾯。当我们彼此相爱时,...  Read More

今晨,我感受到温暖
April 18th, 2025
今晨,我感受到温暖胡牧 2025年复活节今晨,我感受到温暖。那些清凉、清新、冰冻的早晨,总是唤醒你,大声地说:“早安!”在这片土地上,它们持续数月,直到地球缓缓倾斜,重新迎向能改变大地的阳光。今晨,我感受到温暖。寒意的消失显得有些陌生,仿佛一个住了半年的人突然离开了你的家。刹那之间,变得格外安静、私密、亲切。你再次开始重新发现你家中的一切. 今天的温暖来得出人意料。早上八点,我走出家门,忽然感到不...  Read More

Gary's Simpler Marriage Letter #141 - 爱会改变
April 8th, 2025
婚姻之爱变得复杂,而我们却未曾察觉。让我们重新简化它,以便可以长期去爱与被爱。---------50年的婚姻——到目前为止,一切都很好!其实,甚至可以说是美好至极。但在这50年里,有20年的时间,我没有意识到自己在不知不觉中,对布伦达和我们的婚姻形成了一些消极的情绪反应。她也有类似的情况,我们所有人都会如此。我不知不觉地形成了一套不利于婚姻的自动反应模式,导致了一些不愉快的场景和故事。而且,不知不...  Read More

天父的爱 - 2025 弟兄峰會感想
March 27th, 2025
今年一月份的弟兄峰会,为新的一年揭开序幕。 Embrace 是这次峰会的主题。这个字包含着情感和身体紧密的拥抱,是一种饱含热切的接纳和包容,也是天父对祂儿女的心。 来自美国十州的42位弟兄们共聚一堂,一起享受天父爸爸爱的拥抱。在爱中坦然面对真实的自己,在爱中接纳不完全的彼此,在爱中休息重整再出发。 约1:12凡接待他的,就是信他名的人,他就赐他们权柄,作神的儿女。儿女是有血缘关系的,是有父亲的DN...  Read More

Marvel Men 峰会 心路分享
March 16th, 2025
参加这次 Marvel Men 峰会,我带着许多期待,也带着一些不确定:我是否能够在这短短几天中突破自己,找到内心的成长?然而,事实证明,这是一次让我生命得到更新的奇妙旅程。在与兄弟们一起度过的每一天里,我深刻感受到什么是基督里的真实团契。是的,与其说是弟兄,不如说是兄弟。每个男生看似坚强的外表下,其实都在承受着无数的重压——家庭的期待、社会的责任、内心的挣扎……这些压力让我们学会了隐藏脆弱,伪装...  Read More

为什么要参加领袖行军?
August 23rd, 2024
因为山就在那里。1992年,我20岁。那一年的夏天我跟着北大登山队的队友,一起去西藏攀登念青唐古拉中央峰(7117米),我侥幸登顶。但是在下撤的过程中遭遇大面积滑雪,坠入悬崖,差点送命。消息传出去后,全家人反对我登山,我却执迷不悟,又在1993年登顶慕士塔格峰(7546米),1994年登顶格拉丹东峰(6621米)当时的北大登山队小有名气,就有记者来采访。他们几乎都要问同一个问题:为什么要去登山?言...  Read More

我是如何战胜抑郁?
December 27th, 2023
我从小一直爱运动,但真正爱上并坚持长跑却开始于2007年,一晃跑马也十五年了。曾经很多人问我为什么会喜欢上长跑的,都由于时间仓促,也一言难尽。今天乘着圣诞假期,聊几句一并回答。 本世纪初,我意识我得了抑郁症,过往恋爱的失败,婚姻的触礁,世界的动荡和阴暗,年轻时的理想的破灭,生活的周而复始,职场情场的不如意等等,我认为都是诱因。其实抑郁症是很普遍的,这个都有统计数据的支持,随便一查都是。回想幼时的一...  Read More

男人能做的最伟大的事情
May 7th, 2023
亲爱的弟兄们, 作为认识并侍奉耶稣的男人,什么是我们能做的最简单且又最伟大的事情呢? 就是表达我们对祂的爱和敬拜。这里我不是在说教堂里用我们的嘴唇唱一首圣歌,或只是在祈祷中说的一些话而已。我说的是仰望耶稣,真实地向祂表达我们的爱意。 作曲家费尔南多·奥尔特加 (Fernando Ortega) 有许多耶稣充满深切渴慕的歌曲。比如在“向耶稣歌唱”这首里,他邀请我们来到耶稣面前,定睛仰望他,唱一首回应...  Read More

弟兄们,你躺平了吗?
October 28th, 2022
亲爱的兄弟们,通过我心狂野的学习,我觉得每周我们都在更深地进入男⼈的⼼。似乎就像我们正在不断攀登男人心中的⼭脉和⼭⾕⼀样。 这周是我们旅途中⾮常特殊的部分,因为我们将学习并发现有关男⼈与⼥⼈,他的夏娃,他的妻⼦之间的关系的更多信息。正如我们在以前的学习中看到的那样,许多基督徒男人甚⾄都不知道男性之旅的存在。 对于那些知道基督徒男性之旅存在的弟兄来说,大部分已经止步不前。我们相信了敌⼈的谎⾔ - 例...  Read More

一封给教会领袖的信
March 2nd, 2022
在野外进行退修会就是效法耶稣的生活方式。当你休息、关注关系、娱乐和思考的时候,你就会变得越来越健康,同时也是在跟随耶稣,这位曾经活在世上的最属灵的人。胡牧在城市中,我们生活繁忙。我们听到周边汹涌人潮发出嘈杂的声音。因此这几天,我们要创建一个正好完全相反的环境——在这里我们不再忙忙碌碌;我们将要享受宁静安详;我们还将要有独处的经历。在城市中,我们几乎没有时间思想,从不在意是否要花点时间休息一下。在这...  Read More
