Ma Yun's talk about the influence of Christian culture is worth considering!

Yun Ma

 When it comes to Christian culture, people will naturally join the United States of America, but in reality, the United States of America is not what we think of as a “Christian country”. It must be said that the Christian faith in the background of the Hebrew civilization has greatly influenced all aspects of American society.  Despite the serious secularization of America today, Christian culture is still the core and soul of American culture.

 Chinese entrepreneur Jack Ma, who is the principal founder and current chairman and CEO of Alibaba Group, was recently mentioned in Umi's "On the Road" speech.  Development is based on Christian culture, and the legal system is built on Christian culture..."

 Excerpts from Jack Ma

 "Happiness is found alone. I am talking about the rapid development of China's economy today, but our value system and cultural system are crumbling. The earliest new cultural movements destroyed the old culture without building a new culture. Many of our value systems have been confused. Some scholars today do not  completely agree that China is not a legal society. It seems that with a set of laws we can solve this problem, not that."

 "Was the development of the United States because of the legal system? That this person is beautiful is because of her beautiful nose. No. Everyone remembers that the development of American society is based on a Christian culture. Building a legal system based on a Christian culture, and building a political system within this legal system. The electoral system  for the leader they are founded on. The whole system is much more complicated than you think. This is just the simple part. If our cultural value system were to be destroyed today, we would take some values ​​from others. This system is equivalent to building on the beach, which  cannot be built."

 "We need to reinvent the value system so that young people understand not to blame others for being rich, but how I want to change myself. I am not shaken that you will find a value system for us, for this country, for China,  and This is the era when China really takes off."

 Mainstream American culture - Christian culture

 Examining the history of the founding and development of the United States, it is not difficult to discover that the tentacle of Christianity has extended to all aspects of American life: the cornerstone of American democracy, the Mayflower Convention, states that Puritan experimentation must continue in the name of God To complete God's purposes, in short the American Declaration of Independence,  there are actually four references to God, if the word "God" is removed, the spirit of the Declaration of Independence cannot be understood.

 Christian culture is mainstream culture in the United States.  Deeply rooted mainstream Christian culture is like the root system of a large tree, constantly providing nutrients to the trunk.  Only by knowing this root system can you truly understand the true meaning of successful American society.  Many ideas about democracy, the rule of law, and freedom in American society are rooted in the teachings of the Bible.

 The core of mainstream Christian culture lies in its concepts of equality and brotherhood.  Christianity promotes equality, forgiveness, and brotherhood, loving all people, loving others as themselves, and even our enemies.  This is the ideological basis for the establishment of democracy and freedom in western society.  The foundation of a universal democratic system stems from the basic spirit of Christianity: humans are finite and sinful, humans are not only imperfect, but also flawed.  The same applies to institutions created by humans.  Therefore, the power must be limited and checked.  The separation of powers is a popular political doctrine in the West and an important tenet of the American political system.  The US government maintains a separation of legislative, executive, and judicial powers, the status of Congress, the President, and the Supreme Court is equal and mutually limiting and balanced.  In the western countries today, the United States is the most typical country that applies check and balance.

 Americans believe in the Bible, and many people go to church to receive spiritual baptism on the weekends.  The Bible teaches people to be kind, kind, and noble.  Many people live by this belief and associate with other people.  As people say: "One more church, one less prison; one more Christian, one less criminal."

 Christianity believes that God is God, man is man, God is always supreme, man is always God's servant, and man's power will never exceed God.  Therefore, it limits the expansion of human desires from the depths of thought.  This even made the greatest officials smile to ordinary people, no matter how famous that person was, they did not dare to act arrogantly in public, no matter how great that person was, they had to check their actions and not do things that went against  God's will.

 Christian culture also promotes human rights, respects life, and respects human rights.  Influenced by Christian thought, Americans regard democracy, equality, and freedom as life.  They have always chosen democratic governments, free economies, autocracies, dictatorships and privileges.  There is no room for them in the depths of American thought.

 Christian culture does not rule out economics, and even encourages people to gain wealth through self-struggle.  The Protestant ethic not only regards the pursuit of wealth and money as a sin, but also associates it with the glory of God, and uses wealth management to properly glorify God.  Hard work, frugality, and dedication are virtues and moral obligations, and Christian duties.  The most famous is the famous preacher John Wesley: "Despite to make money, desperately to save money, dedicate to dedication."

Take the Beams Out of Your Eyes

 Our weakness as humans is to always see the shortcomings of others and not see our own weaknesses.  The habit of gossiping and gossiping about other people becomes a natural, interesting and ordinary thing.

 We do not feel that the act is wrong according to God.  Jesus said, first take the log out of your eye and you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

 How hard it is to get used to not seeing the negative in others.  Perhaps it is our human instinct that we must defend ourselves from the attacks of others.

 Our lives must be safe and look for defenses not to be said negatively by others and we become self-conscious and forgetful.  We like to see ourselves safe and see others insecure by exposing and exposing their faults.

 Remember, it was this image that Jesus denounced.  Do we still have the habit of seeing others as opponents and seeing their faults to explain to others?  If that is the case then we need to take the log out of our own eyes instead of looking at the speck in your brother's eye.

Mata Adalah Pelita Tubuh

Dimana hartamu berada disitulah hatimu berada. Bila kita menempatkan harta duniawi diatas segalanya, disitulah hati kita, hidup kita, prioritas kita berada. Ketika kita mau belajar mempercayakan hidup kita kepada Tuhan dan menjadikan Yesus sebagai sesuatu yang berharga dalam hidup kita, pasti hati kita, seluruh hidup kita, kerinduan kita akan mengarah kepada Yesus. 

Pertanyaan besar yang perlu kita tanyakan pada hati kita, apa yang kita mau dalam hidup ini? Apa yang membuat hidup kita berarti? Dan apa yang menjadi harta terindah dalam hidup kita?

Injil hari ini mengingatkan kita bahwa mata adalah pelita tubuh. Mata bisa mengontak pikiran dan hati. Apa yang dilihat oleh mata bisa begitu cepat direspon ke pikiran dan hati. Ketika pikiran dan hati turut campur tangan, maka orang akan berbuat sesuatu. Ketika melihat barang orang lain, timbul rasa iri dan ingin memilikinya. Ketika melihat wanita cantik atau pria tampan, mata terbelalak dan memikirkan hal yang aneh-aneh.

Kita harus bersyukur mempunyai mata yang bisa melihat tetapi hendaknya mata dijaga, jangan sampai karena mata hidup kita tersesat. Yesus mengajak kita untuk membina mata kita agar menjadi pelita tubuh yang terang sehingga hidup kitapun menjadi terang dan membawa kita kepada keselamatan.

Jack Ma Says I'm Not Happy When I'm Rich.

Jack Ma

 In an exclusive interview with American television, Jack Ma said in a surprising way that being the richest man in China made him unhappy because of too much pressure.

  "When you become the richest person, people on the street will look at you in a different way."

  "I don't want to be the richest person in China, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, or even the richest person in the community!

 On TV, Jack Ma said it with a bitter face: "As the predecessors said, money can't buy happiness."  He said that his happiest moment was ten years ago, when he received RMB 90 per month.

 But for some people, hearing this is very annoying, because most people always have a little money around them, which makes them not so happy.

 Then look at entertainment news from time to time there are female news anchors and female stars who are married to the rich generation, the second generation to the rich, and the third generation to the rich.  And look at Hollywood movies, how many people go upstream in the United States to become "local tycoons" and live extravagant and desperate lives.  Now there is a person who cannot spend his money for five generations, but says he is not happy?

 In particular, Jack Ma does not depend on the relationship between government and business, but on his own abilities.  He transformed from an English teacher and established the position of e-commerce giant "Alibaba."  Then he jumped ahead and let "Alibaba" publicly raise $25 billion in the United States, break records on Wall Street, and amass his fortune to the tens of billions of dollars.  Such a person should be a person of great ability, broad-minded, and far-sighted.  How could he not be happy from too much pressure?

 Says Jack Ma: "Yes, it's good to be rich, but not the richest person in China. When you become the richest person in the world, it hurts everyone around you to make money."

 "Maybe the stock price has gone up so much, maybe the outside world has high expectations of me, maybe I'm thinking too much about the future and worrying too much."  - Actually, it makes sense to think carefully about what Jack Ma said.

 If Jack Ma started his business just to make a lot of money and become a super local tycoon, then he would be very happy now.  But if he wants to assert his worth and enjoy working, then when too much wealth is in his hands, people's eyes will also be on you to see how you will go next, which will be a lot of pressure.  In addition, the crowd is gradually gathering around him, is it to get to know him or to get to know money?

 Thinking about the facts as he has presented them, wealth will become a kind of suffering, and treasure will bury you as a person.

 Maybe the more money, the more problems Jack Ma will face.

 No wonder the Old Testament Proverbs contain the words of a wise man: "Take away from me cheating and lies. Do not give me poverty or wealth. Let me enjoy the food that is my share.

 So that, when I am full, I may not deny you and say, Who is the LORD?  Or, if I am poor, I steal, and defame my God."

 The author of this statement, fears that poverty will make him steal & defame God.  But he was also afraid that wealth would make him deny God.

 So he doesn't want both, neither money nor money, but enough maintenance, that's enough.

 This is of course a very thoughtful passage, but I do not fully appreciate this passage, or in other words, not everyone applies these words.

 In the world of life, there will be people who are poor, some are rich, and some are mediocre;  and the same people will sometimes be poor, and sometimes up and down.  We must always be ready to feel comfortable in every position.

 So what I prefer is another statement from the apostle Paul in the New Testament: "I know what it is to lack and I know what it is to have abundance. In all things and in all things nothing is a secret to me; neither in being full nor in  hunger, both in abundance and in want.

 I can do all things in Him who gives me strength."

 What he means is that in empowering Christ, he can do anything and live every day.  It was okay to be lowly despicable, and excess was okay, it would never make him uncomfortable, let alone make him unhappy.  Because he has mastered the source of ability and happiness within him, and he has a constant goal.  Therefore, whether the external environment is good or bad, the success or failure of the process does not matter to him.

 I believe that what Paul is saying is not some kind of philosophy, much less empty truth, but his own actual experience.

 In church, I've seen some real rich people, because they believe and enjoy God, they live happy and busy lives, but it's not money that makes them happy.  - Money is just a tool to do something.

 Back to topic.  Regarding his feelings, Jack Ma comments that if he is not happy, coworkers will not be happy, shareholders will not be happy, and customers will not be happy.  He has tried his best to make himself happy, to relieve his pain, he hopes to set up a foundation in the future and return the money he earned to society.  It's certainly not bad, and it's also worth doing, which is pretty awesome.  But furthermore I wish Jack Ma could, like the apostle Paul, allow that extraordinary and stable power to reside within him.

 When we recognize God's abundance of all that is infinite, we will not be so resentful for "great riches".

Santo Thomas Aquinas mengatakan bahwa dosa ringan tidak membuat seseorang berpaling dari tujuan akhir dan Tuhan

Sahabat hati yang budiman. Dosa terdapat dua kategori, yakni dosa berat dan dosa ringan. Dosa berat, Katekismus Gereja Katolik menuliskan, dosa berat merusakkan kasih di dalam hati manusia oleh satu pelanggaran berat melawan hukum Allah. Di dalamnya manusia memalingkan diri dari Allah, tujuan akhir dan kebahagiaannya dan menggantikannya dengan sesuatu yang lebih rendah. Dosa ringan membiarkan kasih tetap ada walaupun ia telah melanggarnya dan melukainya. (KGK, 1855).

Supaya satu perbuatan merupakan dosa berat harus dipenuhi secara serentak tiga persyaratan, yakni dosa berat ialah dosa yang mempunyai materi berat sebagai obyek dan yang dilakukan dengan penuh kesadaran dan dengan persetujuan yang telah dipertimbangkan (KGK, 1857). Dosa ringan adalah dosa yang tidak terlalu serius tetapi janganlah kita meremehkannya.

Santo Thomas Aquinas mengatakan bahwa dosa ringan tidak membuat seseorang berpaling dari tujuan akhir dan Tuhan. Digambarkan sebagai seseorang yang berkeliaran namun tetap menuju tujuan akhir. Dosa ringan bisa berakibat serius dan merusak.

Inilah yang dimaksudkan oleh Yesus setelah mengajar murid-murid-Nya berdoa, Yesus menekankan pengampunan. Memaafkan mereka yang telah melakukan kesalahan kepada kita dan memaafkan mereka atas kegagalan mereka.

Ketika kita berdiri di hadapan Allah, kita berdiri di hadapan-Nya sebagai orang berdosa dengan serangkaian kegagalan kita sendiri. Jika seorang pendosa tidak dapat mengampuni pendosa lain atas kesalahannya, maka doa kita tidak masuk akal. Inilah yang dikatakan oleh Yesus, jikalau kalian tidak mengampuni orang, Bapamu pun tidak akan mengampuni kesalahanmu.

Semoga kita menyadari bahwa kita tidak lebih baik dari orang lain yang akan kita tunjuk, maka belas kasihan dan pengampunan mengalir dalam diri kita. Adil dan benarlah karya tangan-Mu ya Tuhan.

God the Father sees all your good deeds and your evil deeds, even though you are hidden.

 Every action we do has a purpose.  A trivial action may be for a trivial purpose.  Thoughtful and thoughtful action may serve an important purpose.  There is no action that has no purpose.  It means action is meant for something.  Wise words say every word does not necessarily change something but every action always has an effect on life.

  our lives as believers.  This action is important and demands proper attention and understanding from us.  If this is not heeded and done with sincerity in faith then its true purpose will be lost.

 Giving alms or favors is a noble act to practice attachment.  Praying is a noble act to practice closeness and loyalty to God.  Abstinence or fasting is a noble act to discipline oneself from various human desires that have no limits.  These noble deeds must be done with sincerity so as to produce an effect that strengthens and nourishes the body and soul.

 Any action in our life must always have a spiritual content and love.  Because without this everything will be in vain.  Let our actions always add thickness to our faith and strengthen our Christian foundation as followers of Christ.
