很高興能與大家連結
大家好,很高興認識大家! 我是一名軟體開發者,來自雲南,目前主要投入在基督徒學習與讀經軟體的開發,也因著 AI 的快速發展,開始從經濟的角度思考:在工作、科技與資源運用這些領域裡,我如何理解並活出天國的價值觀? 前幾天聽北京一位姊妹分享時,她提到黄牧曾翻譯過一本關於天國經濟學的書。 雖然我還沒有讀到原書,但她分享其中「巴比倫經濟與天國經濟的區別」時,我很有共鳴。 這也觸動了我最近一直在思考的一件事: 自己的信仰不能只是飄在空中的理念,而是需要真正落在生活裡。 無論是工作、事業、財務、科技,甚至我們每天如何使用自己的時間與資源,都值得問一個問題:福音究竟應該如何進入這些真實而具體的領域?我們又如何在這些領域裡活出天國的價值觀? 特別是當我們談到「財務」或「經濟」時,很容易讓人聯想到成功神學。但我反而覺得,正因如此,更不能迴避這些問題。不是用成功神學的方式談財富,而是回到聖經,重新思想金錢、工作、創造、管理與人的價值,在神國裡究竟應該是什麼樣子。 這些領域或許不是很多基督徒最常討論的地方,但我也很好奇: 有沒有一群人,正在這些看似與信仰距離很遠的領域裡,認真學習活出福音、活出信仰? 所以我就在 YouTube 上搜尋相關內容,也因此來到了這個社群。 我期待在這裡不只是學習一些方法和知識,更期待遇見一群願意在真理中彼此學習、彼此提醒、彼此成長的肢体,一起探索如何讓信仰真正落地,並且在自己的工作、生活和所處的環境中活出基督的樣式。 也盼望自己不只是被這個群體影響,而是在真理中不斷成長之後,能夠把所領受的帶回自己的工作與生活,進而影響身邊的人。 很期待未來能在社群裡認識大家,也期待有更多交流與碰撞。 很高興來到這裡,請大家多多指教!🙏

Health coin
‘Health coin’ to come in October: Lai - Taipei Times The program is not simply intended to reward people for maintaining healthy lifestyles, but is also a government initiative to promote the use of digital technology in health management, Lai said. The “health coin” program would be open to all citizens aged 18 or older, Health Promotion Administration (HPA) Director-General Shen Ching-fen (沈靜芬) said. The initial phase would reward people for participating in health-promoting activities, including state-funded checkups, cancer screenings and vaccinations, she said. Once users accumulate a minimum of 1,000 coins via the National Health Insurance (NHI) app, they can transfer them to a designated app to redeem for healthy foods or health promotion services at partnered convenience stores, hypermarkets and life insurance companies, she said. A planned second phase would reward users for achieving specific health goals, such as tracking daily steps through wearable devices, redeemable for more perks such as sports venue rentals and courses, she added. The meeting also introduced the Indigenous Peoples’ Health Resilience National Action Plan. Statistics show a 7.54-year gap in average healthy life expectancy between indigenous people and the rest of the population, Lai said. The 15-point plan would expand local medical capacity, help indigenous people feel safer when seeking medical care and foster more indigenous medical professionals, Lai said.

How should Christians deal with critical cultural difference such as power distance(权力距离)?
Let's evaluate this scripture in light of cultural differences: “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.” — Matthew 18:15‑17 (ESV) 「如果你的弟兄得罪你,你就去,僅你們兩個人私下指出他的錯。如果他聽你,你就贏回了你的弟兄。但如果他不聽,就帶上一兩個人作見證,好讓每個指控都有兩三個人的證據。若他連他們也不聽,就告訴教會。即便連教會也不聽,就當他像外邦人和稅吏一樣對待他。」— 馬太福音 18:15‑17 Compare four dimensions of four areas Power Distance Power distance reflects how much hierarchy and unequal power distribution are accepted. - China: Very high — strong hierarchy and centralized authority (inference based on cultural norms). - Hong Kong: High — influenced by Chinese cultural hierarchy but moderated by global business norms. - Taipei: Moderate — democratic institutions reduce hierarchical distance. - Los Angeles: Low — U.S. culture emphasizes equality and individual autonomy. HDI (Human Development Index) - Hong Kong: Extremely high (0.955), among the world’s top. - Los Angeles (U.S.): High (0.938). - Taipei (Taiwan): Taiwan’s HDI is not listed in the UN table but typically ~0.88–0.90 (inference). - China: Medium-high (0.797). Air Quality (PM2.5) Direct PM2.5 values were not returned in search, so interpretation is based on environmental indicators: - China: Generally poor air quality (inference from China’s environmental profile). - Hong Kong: Better than mainland; high life expectancy suggests cleaner air. - Taipei: Typically moderate; cleaner than mainland China (inference). - Los Angeles: Known for smog; worse than Taipei/HK (inference). Population Density - Hong Kong: 6,708/km² — extremely dense. - Taipei: ~9,900/km² (inference from city statistics). - China: ~153/km² (inference from national density). - Los Angeles: 38.15/km² (U.S. national average used as proxy).
