GIVING 給予

You money can make you an overseas missionary without ever leaving your home town, an evangelist without ever mounting a platform, a broadcaster without ever entering a studio, a Bible teacher without ever writing a book.

你的錢可以讓你成為宣教師而不用遠度重洋，成為佈道家而不用登上講台，成為播音員而不必進入播音室，成為聖經老師而不用著書立論。

If you don't give away anything God wants you to give, you don't own it - it owns you.

如果你未能將上帝要你給的分送出去，那你就未擁有它們 - 而是它們擁有你。

Let us give according to our incomes lest God make our incomes match our gifts.

讓我們照我們所得給予，免得上帝照我們所給的決定我們所得的多寡。

Give to all, lest the one you pass over should be Christ himself.

Augustine

分給每一個人，免得你漏掉的那位是基督。

In this world it is not what we take up but what we give up that makes us rich.

Henry Ward Beecher

在這世上，我們是否富足取決於我們所給而非我們所得。

It is possible to give without loving, but it is impossible to love without giving.

Richard Braunstein

人們有可能給予而不具愛心，但絕不可能空有愛心而不給予。

From what curses and degradations should we be delivered if Christian people gave as the Scriptures direct!

Samuel Chadwick

如果基督徒都按照經文教導給予，那我們可以從何等的咒詛及敗壞中得著拯救！

What we spend in piety and charity is not tribute paid to a tyrant, but the response of gratitude to our Redeemer.

James Denney

我們在敬虔及善行上的花費並非繳付暴君的貢物，而是對我們救贖主的感恩回報。

Labour hard, consume little, give much - and all to Christ.

Anthony Norris Groves

努力工作，少許開銷，多點給予 - 全部都歸基督。

We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.

Duane Hulse

藉著所得我們得以生存，藉著給予我們得以生活。

If we would have God open his treasury, we must open ours.

Thomas V. Moore

如果我們要上帝打開祂的金庫，那我們需要先打開我們的。

We ask how much a man gives; Christ asks how much he keeps.

Andrew Murray

我們問一個人給了多少；基督問一個人為自己保留了多少。

When we have given God all we have and are, we have simply given him his own.

William S. Plumer

當我們將我們自己及一切所有交給上帝時，我們只是將屬於祂的交還給祂。

There are three kinds of giving: grudge giving, duty giving and thanksgiving. Grudge giving says, 'I have to'; duty giving says, 'I ought to'; thanksgiving says, 'I want to'.

Robert Rodenmayer

給予可分成三種：吝嗇的給予、職責的給予以及感恩的給予。吝嗇給予說：「我不得不給予」；職責給予說：「我應該給予」；感恩給予說：「我需要給予」。

The only way to have more than enough to spare is to give God more than you can spare.

Oswald J. Smith

讓我們不但足夠而且還能分給別人的唯一方法就是給上帝遠超過你能分給的部分。

Many a man becomes empty-handed because he does not know the art of distribution.

C. H. Spurgeon

因為不懂得分給別人的藝術，以致於許多人至終兩手空空。

If I leave more than 10 pounds, you and all mankind bear witness that I lived and died a thief and a robber.

John Wesley

如果我身後遺留超過十英鎊，你及所有人都可指證我生為竊賊死為強梁。
