EVANGELISM - Responsibility for   See also: witness; Soul-winning

佈道 - 責任

No church is obedient that is not evangelistic.

沒有一個順服的教會不是傳福音的教會。

To refuse to evangelize is as sinful as to commit adultery or murder.

拒絕傳福音就如同犯了淫亂殺人的罪。

Evangelism in the New Testament sense is the vocation of every believer and there is therefore something radically wrong when we imply that province of those who have the time and/or inclination to take special courses and learn special techniques.

Roland Allen

在新約聖經裡傳福音是任何信徒的天職,如此一來,當我們暗示只有那些有時間且願意上些傳福音課程、學些傳福音技巧的人才能傳福音,這可是大錯特錯的想法。

In making a person a Christian, God takes a burden off the heart and places another on the shoulders.

在使一個人成為基督徒之時,上帝將他內心的重擔挪去,然後將另一個擔子(傳福音)放在他的肩頭上。

No church has the right to send out missionaries.   God alone sends missionaries.  The church's part is simply to release them as soon as God's plan is revealed.

Derek Bigg

沒有一個教會有權力差派宣教師。只有上帝能差派宣教師。教會的責任就是在上帝彰顯祂的計畫時,趕忙讓他們接受上帝的差派。

Evangelism is the perpetual task of the whole church, and not the peculiar hobby of certain of its members.

E. Wilson Carlisle

傳福音是整體教會持續不斷的任務,這可不是教會少數會友的特殊嗜好。

The church that ceases to be evangelistic will soon cease to be evangelical.

Alexander Duff

一個不傳福音的教會很快就會成為不是福音派的教會。

Evangelism is the disinterested interest of the comparative few.

James Denny

傳福音就是不耽溺於相對少數的滿足。

We are to evangelize not because it is pleasant, not because it is easy, not because we may be successful, but because Christ has called us.   He is our Lord.  We have no other choice but to obey him.

Leighton Ford

我們傳福音不是因為這是宜人的,不是因為這是容易的,不是因為我們可能成功,而只是因為這是基督呼召我們做的。祂是主。除了順服祂我們別無選擇。

The Word of God is not just for domestic consumption; it is also for export.

William Freel

上帝的話語可不是只供內銷;它也需要外銷。

No Christian is outside our Lord's last command.

A. W. Goodwin Hudson

沒有一個基督徒能置身於主的大使命之外。

Christian mission is the only reason for our being on earth.

Andrew Murray

基督徒傳福音是我們存留世間的唯一理由。

Vision is not enough, or even resolution; it is action that is required in the work of evangelism.

W. T. H. Richards

在傳福音的事上,光有異象不夠的,有決心也不夠;最需要的是行動。

Every age is an age for evangelism.  God has no grandchildren.

Eugene L. Smith

每一個年齡的人都是傳福音的對象。上帝沒有孫子(每一個人都必須親自領受救恩)。

In the last resort, we engage in evangelism today not because we want to or because we choose to or because we like to, but because we have been told to.

John R. W. Stott

最後的憑據,我們今天參與傳福音並不是因為我們想要、因為我們選擇或是因為我們喜歡,而是因為我們曾被吩咐當傳福音。

Evangelism is always dangerous, though it is not so dangerous as the lack of evangelism.

George Sweazey

傳福音往往是危險的,但再危險也不會像缺如傳福音那樣危險。
