以目的人生與目的教會來作為門徒訓練的基本架構。
目的人生(Purpose Driven Life)是門徒訓練的起點，建立個人靈命成長的目標。
目的教會(Purpose Driven Church)是門徒訓練的終點，建立教會建造的異象。
在起點與終點中間是門徒訓練的過程:
我會從四個方面來描述目的人生與目的教會的Why, What, Where and How。
- 核心價值是指我們從聖經中領受最核心的價值觀。 (Why)
- 使命是指神給這個教會的託付。(What)
- 異象是指我們從聖經中看見神要教會去完成的圖畫，遠景，夢想。(Where)
- 策略是指達成使命、異象，所需使用的方法、道路。(How)
The basic framework of discipleship based on purpose driven life and purpose driven church.
Purpose driven life is the starting point of discipleship. Set a goal for personal spiritual life.
Purpose driven church is the end point of discipleship. Set a vision of Church.
The line between starting point and end point is the process of discipleship.
Purpose driven church is the end point of discipleship. Set a vision of Church.
The line between starting point and end point is the process of discipleship.
I will use four section to describe why, what, where and how about purpose driven life and purpose driven church.
- Core-values are the most important values we received from Bible. (Why)
- Mission is the task God assigned to the church. (What)
- Vision is the picture, prospect and dream in the viewpoint of Bible, which God expect His church to fulfill. (Where)
- Strategy is the method and the way to fulfill mission and vision. (How)
核心價值:
遵守大誡命
耶穌對他說、你要盡心、盡性、盡意、愛主你的 神。這是誡命中的第一、且是最大的。其次也相倣、就是要愛人如己。這兩條誡命、是律法和先知一切道理的總綱。
完成大使命
耶穌進前來，對他們說：「天上地下所有的權柄都賜給我了。所以，你們要去，使萬民作我的門徒，奉父、子、聖靈的名給他們施洗（或譯：給他們施洗，歸於父、子、聖靈的名）。凡我所吩咐你們的，都教訓他們遵守，我就常與你們同在，直到世界的末了。」
大誡命是舊約的總綱，而大使命則是新約的總綱。這兩段經文代表聖經的核心價值。
Core Values
Obey Great Commandment
Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
Fulfill Great Commission
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

遠景中的教會: The church in vision
敬拜的異象: 敬拜基督的榮耀。
我們看見一群被羔羊的寶血所買贖的子民來到他的寶座前來敬拜他。敬拜是這群聖徒生活的中心，就像以色列人在曠野紮營，他們以會幕為他們生活的中心。他們委身於以基督為中心的敬拜，俯伏在神的最高的主權之下。他們在敬拜中與神相會，他們敬畏神的榮耀與威嚴，他們感受到神的恩惠與慈愛，他們在敬拜中聆聽神的信息，他們的靈魂在敬拜中甦醒過來，他們帶著這樣的敬拜回到他們的生活，繼續用他們的生活來榮耀神。
The vision of worship: worship the glory of Christ.
We see a group of people who are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb come to worship Him around His throne. Worship is the center of life for the group of saints, just like tabernacle is the center of life for Israel people when they camped in desert. They commit to Christ-centered worship. They bow down to the Lord in the sovereignty of God. They encounter God in worship. They fear the glory and majesty of God. Their hearts are touched by the grace and love of God. They carefully listen to the message of God in worship. Their souls are restored in worship. They go back to their daily life with the heart of worship and continue to glorify God in their life.
禱告的異象:禱告基督的國度。
我們看見一群禱告的戰士。他們熱切尋求神的國的降臨，他們熱切尋求神的旨意能遍行全地。他們知道他們的軟弱，但他們知道藉著禱告，他們可以倚靠神的大能。他們常常感謝神，即使在逆境中，也不忘記他的恩惠。他們常常讚美神，即使在困苦中，他們仍然有喜樂。他們也常常等候在神的面前，即使在似乎沒有指望的時候，他們也知道一切的盼望是從他而來。他們不怕仇敵，因為他們知道神與他們同在。但他們害怕犯罪，因為他們知道神會掩耳不聽他的禱告。
The vision of prayer: pray for the kingdom of Christ
We see a group of prayer warriors. They enthusiastically search for the coming of God’s kingdom. They enthusiastically search for God’s wills can be followed in the whole world. They know their weakness, but they know they can rely on God’s power by prayer. They always thanks God, even when they are not in smooth situation, they still don’t forget His grace. They always praise the Lord. Even when they are in suffering, they still have joy. They also always wait upon God, even when the thing looks like has no hope; they know all of hopes come from God. They are not afraid of enemy because they know God is with them. They are afraid of the commitment of sin because they know God will cover his ears and stop listening to his prayer.
門徒訓練的異象:學習基督的話語。
我們看見一群願意跟隨耶穌的門徒，他們像羊群跟著牧人，能夠聽主的聲音，跟隨主的腳蹤。他們有一顆受教的心與能聽的耳，願意受到嚴格的訓練，願意服從命令，願意成為基督的精兵，神所徵招的特種部隊。他們願意放下世界，定意背起十字架來跟隨耶穌的腳步，他們立志要成為這個世界不配有的人。神的話是他們腳前的燈，路上的光，他們願意每天讀神的話語，尋求神的旨意，立志遵行他的命令。他們全然倚靠所有聖經上的應許，把神的話存記在他們的心中，用神的話當做靈糧，用神的話勝過試探。他們晝夜思想神的話，他們的生命像一棵樹栽種在溪水旁，按時候結果子，葉子也不枯乾。
The vision of discipleship: Learning the Word of Christ
We see a group of disciples who are willing to follow Jesus. They are like sheep to follow the shepherd. They can listen to Lord’s voice and follow Lord’s trace. They have a teachable heart and listening ears. They are willing to receive restrict training, obey commands and become good soldiers of Christ, special army by God’s calling. They are willing to put down the world and take their cross to follow the step of Jesus. They want to be a person of whom this world is not worthy.God’s Word is a lamp on their feet and a light on their path. God’s Word is a lamp on their feet and a light on their path. They are willing to read God’s Word daily to search for God’s will and they want to do their best to obey His commands. They totally rely on all of promises on the Bible. They keep God’s Word in their mind, read God’s Word as their spiritual food and use God’s word to overcome temptation. They meditate on God’s Word day and night. They are like a tree planted by the streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.
團契的異象:
我們看見一個愛的團契，以基督的愛為網，彼此連結，合而為一。他們來自四面八方，卻因神的愛，他們成為一家人。他們或許有時會意見不同，個性不合，甚至衝突矛盾，但最後他們都願意學習最大的功課，愛，以至於他們能夠彼此磨合，彼此順服。他們是一群同心奔向錫安聖山的天路客，在這條天路上，他們有時會遇上試探，磨練，低潮，攻擊，但他們在光明中彼此相交，彼此提攜，互相勸勉，彼此代禱來確保他們的每一個同行的伙伴都能平安抵達彼岸的家鄉。
The vision of fellowship: Join the family of Christ
We see a fellowship of love, which is connected with God’s love and is united as one body. They come from different area and become a family by God’s love. Sometime they might have different opinion, different personality and even conflict to each other, but they are willing to learn the biggest lesson, love, such that they can adjust to each other and obey to each other. They are a group of pilgrims who are walking to the Zion Mountain. They might encounter temptation, test, depression and attack sometime, but they have fellowship in the light, support each other, encourage each other and pray for each other to ensure all of their walking partners can arrive to their hometown peacefully in the other side.
服事的異象:服事基督的身體。
我們看見一群以謙卑束腰的僕人，願意為主擺上，甘心服事眾人。他們按著個人所得的恩賜，做神的好管家，個人盡自己的本分，在基督的身體裡發揮他的功用，連於元首基督，聽命基督的號令，一同興旺福音。他們願意在小事上忠心，願意在神所託付的事工，承擔責任。他們有勞苦的心志，願意犧牲自己的方便與權利，好叫神的名得著榮耀。他們願意自潔，脫離卑賤的事，好讓自己成為神合用的器皿。
The vision of ministry: Serving the body of Christ.
We see a group of servants who clothe in humility. They willingly devote themselves for the Lord to serve other people. They are good housekeepers of God based on their personal gift. Each person does their best on their duty to perform his function in the body of Christ, connect to the head Christ, obey his commands to advance gospel together. They are faithful in what is least and take responsibility on the ministry God give. They have a heart to work hard and willingly sacrifice his own convenience and right to let God’s name to be glorified. They are willing to clean themselves from ignoble and to make themselves to be useful vessels for God.
傳福音的異象:
我們看見一群報好消息的福音使者。他們要向這個沒有盼望的世界，宣告他們盼望的緣由。他們要向黑暗的牢獄，宣告光明已經來到。他們要向這缺乏真愛的世界，宣告神就是愛。他們要去尋找失喪的羊，領失喪的羊歸回羊圈。他們戴上了神所賜的全副的軍裝，他們要攻破仇敵的營壘，將人的心意奪回。他們要將那些不認識神的無神論，拜偶像的，迷失在這個世界的風俗中的人們都帶領他們來歸向基督。
The vision of evangelism: Proclaiming the gospel of Christ.
We see a group of evangelical ambassadors who proclaim the good news. They want to proclaim the reason for their hope toward the hopeless world. They want to proclaim the light has come toward the dark jail. They proclaim that God is love to the world without true love. They want to search for lost sheep, bring lost sheep back to the sheep pen. They put on the full armor of God. They want to demolish strongholds to take captive every thought. They want to bring atheists, idolaters and people who lost in the fashion of this world back to Christ.
