| CHURCH - Duties | 教會 - 職責 |
| No church is obedient that is not evangelistic. 沒有一間順服的教會不是佈道的教會。 |
| The church exists by mission
as a fire exists by burring. Emil Brunner 教會因著傳福音而存在，正如同火因著燃燒而存在。 |
| As the saving doctrine of Christ is the life of the
church, so the discipline is, as it were, its sinews. John Calvin 如同基督救贖的信仰是教會的生命，管教一直都是教會得力的方法。 |
| Wherever we see the Word of
God purely preached and heard, there a church of God exists, even if it swarms with many
faults. John Calvin 無論何處當我們看到上帝話語被正確的宣講及傾聽，哪裡就有教會存在，縱使這教會充滿多少瑕疵。 |
| The Lord God hath given us three principal signs and
marks by which we may know this his church, that is to say, the Word, the sacraments and
discipline. John Hooper 主上帝給我們三個主要的記號，讓我們認出祂的教會，那就是：聖道的宣講、聖禮的實施以及實行教會管教。 |
| Today's church...has no more
solemn duty than to maintain purity of doctrine. R. B. Kuiper 今天教會當務之急就是要維持信仰的純正。 |
| Prayer meetings are the throbbing machinery of the
church. C. H. Spurgeon 禱告會是教會這部機器運轉發出嗡嗡聲。 |
| If we ever forget our basic
charter - 'My house is a house of prayer' - we might as well as shut the church doors. James S. Stewart 如果我們忘記我們基本的規章：「我家是禱告的家」，那我們大可以關上教會的大門。 |
| The church has nothing to do but to save souls;
therefore spend and be spent in this work. It is not your business to speak so many
times, but to save souls as you can; to bring as many sinners as you possible can to
repentance. John Wesley 教會唯一職責就是拯救靈魂；因此當盡其所能在這事上。高談闊論並非你當盡本分，盡力拯救靈魂才是當務之急。 |
