改革宗家庭门训系列（旧文整理 03） / Reformed Family Discipleship (Archive 03)

In all the work you are doing, work the best you can. Work as if you were doing it for the Lord, not for people. Remember that you will receive your reward from the Lord, who will give you what he promised his people. You are serving the Lord Christ.

真正的老板，

Our true Master,

不是地上的公司。

is not an earthly company.

真正的主人，

Our true Lord,

乃是基督。

is Christ.

因此，

Therefore,

每一天认真工作，
every day of faithful work,

都是向世界见证我们属于基督。
is a testimony that we belong to Christ.

六、提摩太·凯勒《工作的意义》
VI. Timothy Keller — *Every Good Endeavor*

凯勒指出：

Keller writes:

工作不是为了建立自己的王国，而是为了参与神国度的工作。
Work is not about building our own kingdom, but about participating in God's kingdom.

改革宗强调，

Reformed theology emphasizes

职业没有圣俗之分，
that there is no sacred–secular divide among lawful vocations.

真正的区别，

The real distinction

不是牧师与工人，
is not between pastors and laborers,

而是忠心与不忠心。
but between faithfulness and unfaithfulness.

家庭讨论

1.
为什么神在人犯罪之前就设立了工作？

Why did God establish work before mankind sinned?

2.
你认为你的工作是一种敬拜吗？为什么？

Do you see your work as an act of worship? Why or why not?

3.
你现在工作的主要目的是什么？

What is the main purpose of your work today?

4.
你是否把自己看作神所托付的管家？

Do you see yourself as a steward entrusted by God?

家庭祷告

Family Prayer

亲爱的天父，

Dear Heavenly Father,

感谢祢赐给我们工作的呼召。
Thank You for giving us the calling to work.

求祢帮助我们明白，工作不是咒诅，而是祢美善创造的一部分。
Help us understand that work is not a curse, but part of Your good creation.

求祢赐给我们忠心的心，使我们无论做什么，都像是为主而做。
Give us faithful hearts so that whatever we do, we may do it as for the Lord.

帮助我们借着工作荣耀祢，服事他人，供应家庭，忠心管理祢所托付的一切。
Help us glorify You through our work, serve others, provide for our families, and faithfully steward all that You have entrusted to us.

奉主耶稣基督的名祷告，阿们。
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
