CHURCH - Security in God's Purposes 教會

The church is not a democracy in which we have chosen God, but a theocracy in which he has chosen us.

教會可不是民主體系，透過這樣的體系我們選擇上帝；教會反倒是一個神權體系，上帝在其中揀選我們。

The church in the only society in the world that never loses any of its members, even by death.

教會是這世上唯一總使是死亡，也不會失去她的會員的社會團體。

Never futile is the work of the church, for it is a product not of the mind of man but of the sovereign grace of God.

William Hendriksen

教會事工絕不徒然，因為那並非出自我們思想的產物，而是出自上帝權能的恩典。

The church shall survive the world, and be in bliss when that is in ruins.

Matthew Henry

教會經歷世間劫難仍將長存，縱使萬物朽壞，教會仍蒙大福。

Ever since God had a church of redeemed sinners on earth the future of her destiny has been brighter than her past history.

William S. Plumer

自從上帝在世間為蒙恩罪人設立教會，教會未來的光明遠勝教會過去的歷史。

God has twisted together his glory and our good.

Thomas Watson

上帝將祂的榮耀及我們的益處結合在一起。
