幸福观讲座：幸福与逆境

本周六演讲："轻舟怎过万重山？"
如何以信仰在祸福无常的人生中实现幸福
（戴永富）

清代雍正帝如此告诫年羹尧："图功易，成功难；成功易，守功难；守功易，终功难"。理由简单：生活无法避免内忧（自身弱点）与外患（各样挫折）。实现梦想的人生旅程犹如去西天取经那样艰巨：不只跋山涉水，还要识破和除灭妖魔鬼怪。
基督教信仰帮人用理性与爱心培养好战胜困难的习性（希望，机智，刚毅，忍耐，勇气，等等）。这些习性让人定睛于超越并支撑自己的上帝，从而帮人识破各样"妖精"的伪装，因敌对幸福的事物常常难以辨认出来，弄得人容易像唐僧一样，天真地上白骨精的当。
邀请您和我们一起学习如何得到并使用这些"利器"。

This Saturday Talk: "How Faith Help us to Flourish in the Midst of the Vicissitudes of Life"
This week, we'll learn about how faith in God, through reason and love, develop in us some habits of human flourishing like hope, courage, perseverance, wisdom, etc. These habits are indispensable not just for helping us dealing with difficulties in life, but also recognizing the apparently good factors that actually diminish human flourishing in subtle but sure ways.
Also, without being empowered by love that orients us to God as our highest good, these habits can easily degenerate into 'glittering vices' that serve our egos and other anti-flourishing factors. This topic will prepare us to learn about the problem of sin and the need for redemption.
