田Keller博士在讲道中探讨了在面对内心冲突和困惑时如何获得智慧。他指出，智慧不仅关乎道德和善行，更在于对生活复杂现实的深刻理解，特别是对内心世界的理解。他认为，要获得智慧，必须认识到内心生活的重要性、复杂性、独特性和疗愈方式。他强调，维持内在生命比任何外在因素都重要，因为内在力量支撑着我们度过困境。幸福取决于我们如何从内心处理外在环境，而非外在环境本身。关注内心世界的滋养胜过关注物质财富，这是智慧的表现。 圣经对内心问题的理解比其他任何理论都更全面、更复杂，它包含生理、情感关系、道德和存在等多个方面。压抑的情绪可能与身体健康状况有关；我们有情感关系的需求，需要外界的爱与支持；内心的道德层面与良心和罪恶感有关；存在主义焦虑是内心压抑的另一个重要因素；内心深处最根本的信念和价值观会影响我们的情绪和精神状态。人是一个复杂的整体，不能简单地用单一角度来理解。只有在上帝面前活出生命的各个方面，才能避免绝望和内心压抑。 人与人之间存在着不可逾越的孤独感，即使亲密的人也无法完全理解我们；我们甚至无法完全了解自己，只有上帝才能完全洞察我们的内心。与上帝建立亲密关系是克服孤独的关键，因为只有上帝才能完全理解我们。与上帝建立亲密关系是克服孤独的关键，因为只有上帝才能完全理解我们。生命之树象征着对内心深处渴望的满足，而耶稣的牺牲使我们能够获得这种满足。我们内心深处对生命之树的渴望无法通过世俗事物得到满足，这是一种宇宙性的怀旧。面对内心渴望的无法满足，我们需要寻求正确的应对方法，而不是逃避或自责。耶稣的十字架象征着生命之树，他通过牺牲使我们能够获得真正的生命。福音是治愈内心创伤的最终良方。我们需要与他人建立联系，并持续地从福音中汲取力量。向他人坦诚自己的罪过和内心挣扎，有助于获得真正的赦免和内心平静。将希望寄托于上帝，并与他人分享福音，才能获得内心的力量。

Shownotes Transcript

We all at certain times have a lot of trouble dealing with the deep, conflicting, confusing, powerful, sometimes warring dynamic impulses and feelings that just roll through our hearts. 

Sometimes we don’t feel we have any power over it. We don’t know how we got to feeling like that. We don’t know what to do about it. We need wisdom with regard to the complex realities of the inner being, the inner life, or what we would today call the psychological life.

Proverbs shows us that we won’t be wise unless we understand 1) the priority of the inner life, 2) the complexity of the inner life, 3) the solitude of the inner life, and 4) the healing of the inner life.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 5, 2004. Series: Proverbs: True Wisdom for Living. Scripture: Proverbs 12:25; 13:12; 14:10, 13, 30; 15:4,13-14; 16:2; 18:14; 28:1.
