五個牧者常面對的困擾：
1. Spiritual warfare屬靈爭戰
2. The surprising reality of pastoral leadership 帶領教會的艱難或殘酷的現實和挑戰
3. Sense of inadequacy 自己感到超級不足或面對教會問題和下滑不知道如何面對
4. Critics and bullies 經歷許多嚴厲或惡意的批評
5. Loneliness 孤單；有些牧者的困局：不能將掙扎與教會內的人說；也怕外人傳出去，只能藏在心底裡。

Keep your eyes open
“No one lights a lamp, then hides it in a drawer. It’s put on a lamp stand so those entering the room have light to see where they’re going. Your eye is a lamp, lighting up your whole body. If you live wide-eyed in wonder and belief, your body fills up with light. If you live squinty-eyed in greed and distrust, your body is a dank cellar. Keep your eyes open, your lamp burning, so you don’t get musty and murky. Keep your life as well-lighted as your best-lighted room.”
Luke 11:33-36
「沒有人點燈放在地窨子裏，或是斗底下，總是放在燈臺上，使進來的人得見亮光。 你眼睛就是身上的燈。你的眼睛若瞭亮，全身就光明；眼睛若昏花，全身就黑暗。 所以，你要省察，恐怕你裏頭的光或者黑暗了。 若是你全身光明，毫無黑暗，就必全然光明，如同燈的明光照亮你。」
路加福音 11:33-36

A life of God~worship
“Your eyes are windows into your body. If you open your eyes wide in wonder and belief, your body fills up with light. If you live squinty-eyed in greed and distrust, your body is a dank cellar. If you pull the blinds on your windows, what a dark life you will have!

The fruit of the spirit
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23 NIV
But what happens when we live God’s way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able to marshal and direct our energies wisely. Legalism is helpless in bringing this about; it only gets in the way. Among those who belong to Christ, everything connected with getting our own way and mindlessly responding to what everyone else calls necessities is killed off for good—crucified.
Galatians 5:22-23 MSG
What is the color of FAITH ?
Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability. It symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven.
Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body.

Colossians 3:9-10
不要彼此說謊
因你們已經脫去舊人和舊人的行為
穿上了新人
這新人在知識上漸漸更新 正如造他主的形像

Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

Learn to think like HIM
Since Jesus went through everything you’re going through and more, learn to think like him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way. Then you’ll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants instead of being tyrannized by what you want.
1 Peter 4:1-2 MSG
基督既在肉身受苦，你們也當將這樣的心志作為兵器，因為在肉身受過苦的，就已經與罪斷絕了。 你們存這樣的心，從今以後就可以不從人的情慾，只從神的旨意在世度餘下的光陰。

From now on, don’t sin.
文士和法利賽人帶着一個行淫時被拿的婦人來，叫她站在當中， 就對耶穌說：「夫子，這婦人是正行淫之時被拿的。 摩西 在律法上吩咐我們把這樣的婦人用石頭打死。你說該把她怎麼樣呢？」 他們說這話，乃試探耶穌，要得着告他的把柄。耶穌卻彎着腰，用指頭在地上畫字。 他們還是不住地問他，耶穌就直起腰來，對他們說：「你們中間誰是沒有罪的，誰就可以先拿石頭打她。」 於是又彎着腰，用指頭在地上畫字。 他們聽見這話，就從老到少，一個一個地都出去了，只剩下耶穌一人，還有那婦人仍然站在當中。 耶穌就直起腰來，對她說：「婦人，那些人在哪裏呢？沒有人定你的罪嗎？」 她說：「主啊，沒有。」耶穌說：「我也不定你的罪。去吧，從此不要再犯罪了！」
