How To Help Special Children?
Posted 01/08 @ 02:58 AM
在《中國信徒月刊》寫了一篇見證『從自閉到自立』刊登之後，得到很多的回響，有本地的，有外州的，也有國外的，多半他們的孩子也都有類似的困難。想此時仍有許多人在惶惑中，在那兒摸索，不知道這些特殊兒童到底是怎麼回事？� 此，我就有一個感動來分享一些自己的經驗，或許可以給大家一點幫助。實際上，這些孩子只不過是腦裏化學物質分泌不平衡所致；或者某些體能方面發育比一般所謂的“正常孩童”較為緩慢；或是體能方面有某些特別需要幫助。但是，他們的許多別的部位卻又是發展得很正常，有些甚至發展得比一般人還快還優秀些，換句話說也可以假設他們的成長過程跟一般人不太一樣。
我們要如何去陪同他們一起克服困境，給他們一個安適合宜的生存成長空間呢？他們將要如何突� �困境，� �利成長呢？我覺得很值得和大家分享。
大多數的人對孩子的青春期很了解，對中年人的更年期也很了解，媒體也有很多這些方面的� �... | Read More »
Characterization Of Women In John
Posted 01/08 @ 02:58 AM
引言
使徒約翰在約翰福音中，對人物的描述非常仔細豐富。他的筆下有各色各樣的人物。他們具有不同的社會地位，不同的教育水準，不同的性別，不同的種族，不同的立� �，不同的需要，甚至不同的性� �等。約翰透過耶穌與這些人物的互動，帶出耶穌基督愛世人的心腸，也帶出人對耶穌的拒絕或接受。
約翰福音一書，普遍呈現對婦女角色正面性的看法，表明在耶穌基督的信仰上，不會� 性別而有不同的地位。在耶穌基督裏，男女是平等的。由約翰對男與女的對照描述，例如尼哥底母與撒瑪利亞的婦人，伯大尼馬利亞與賣耶穌的猶大，抹大拉馬利亞與彼得及約翰等，可以看見約翰在信仰的屬靈生命層面，給與婦女的積極肯定。
在女性地位顯然比男性地位低的時代中，約翰福音對婦女信徒的重視與肯定，對後代教會和社會具有深� 的歷史影響。
本文將從約翰福音中有關婦女的經文，耶穌基督和婦女的互動，觀察約翰如何了解耶穌的心... | Read More »
Relationship With Teenagers
Posted 01/06 @ 03:30 AM
青少年的成長過程
當ä十二三歲的孩子不再像以往那樣唯命是從，他開始忿怒地表達自己的高見，個性變得怪怪的，對甚麼東西都挑剔、看不é眼，情況嚴重地連家裏的貓狗都可以嗅到他們的「異味」，甚至於總躲他們é點ㄦ，免得慘遭魚æ之殃，這階段的女孩開始對異性非常感興趣，並且崇拜偶像、注意自己的打扮，男孩開始變聲、厭惡鏡子中臉上長豆的自己，自卑感很重，總覺得沒有別人好、沒人關心他們。絕大多數的父母親都是談「teen」色變，巴不得自己的小孩可以跳過這段恐怖時期，可以從可愛聽話的兒童期，坐直升電梯直接停在二十歲的成年期，但是青少年期是每個人都得走過的路程，不但青少年們應該對此成長過程中，有關自己的心靈、身體、情緒、社交性、智力的變化有足å的瞭解，作父母親的也應多用心瞭解ä們的孩子，坦然面對孩子成長時所產生的沮喪與擔憂，與孩子一起走過青少年期的困境，為未成年的孩子打好æ基，幫助他們確立... | Read More »
