蒂莫西·凯勒：本讲座探讨了如何在生活中做出明智的选择。凯勒牧师指出，人生的成败取决于我们所做的选择，而许多选择在道德和法律上都是允许的，但并非都是明智的。因此，我们需要神的智慧来引导我们。他从箴言中阐述了神引导的方式：一是神以看似矛盾的方式引导我们，我们的选择看似自由，但最终结果都在神的掌控之中；二是神以非明显的方式引导我们，即使是坏事，最终也会被神用于善。凯勒牧师用约瑟的故事为例，说明了神如何将恶事转化为善。他强调，无论生活多么艰难，我们都应该相信神在掌管一切，同时也要积极地做出明智的选择。 凯勒牧师还探讨了神如何赐予引导：一是付出代价，即无条件地信靠神，将一切委身于他；二是培养智慧，通过研读圣经，学习神的智慧，并向他人寻求建议。他指出，无条件地信靠神，才能逐渐变得明智，做出更明智的选择。凯勒牧师用自身经历和比喻说明了这些观点，并强调了耶稣基督为我们付出的终极代价，以及他如何引导我们度过人生的风暴。 旁白：本讲座的主题是关于如何在生活中寻求神的引导，并做出明智的选择。旁白介绍了讲座的背景和内容，并对讲座进行了总结。

The sermon introduces the concept of God's guidance, likening it to the ropes used by sailors for navigation, and poses the question of how to obtain this guidance in the midst of life's choices.

Shownotes Transcript

You make or break your life on the basis of your choices.

In Hebrew Scriptures, the word for guidance is usually derived from the word for rope because the ropes were the method of navigation for sailors. They used ropes to lower or move or raise the sails. Without them, they’d be blown totally off course. So the question is how do you get God’s guidance? How do you get God’s navigation, so that when you have all these choices, you know the right course to take? 

By looking at these proverbs we can see 1) the guidance God does, 2) the guidance God gives, and 3) the guidance God purchases for us.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 12, 2004. Series: Proverbs: True Wisdom for Living. Scripture: Proverbs 11:3; 12:5, 15; 15:22; 16:1-4, 9, 25, 33; 21:5; 27:1.
