| PREACHING and PREACHERS - Aim | 傳道與傳道人 - 目標 |
| Jesus told Peter to feed his sheep, not to flog
them. J. Vernon McGee 耶穌吩咐彼得餵養祂的羊，而不是鞭打它們。 |
| The skill of the evangelist,
or the pastor who would do the work of an evangelist, is seen in the ability to present
the limited body of redemptive truth repeatedly, yet with freshness and vitality. Lewis Sperry Chafer 傳福音者，或願效法傳福音之工的牧者，其技巧體現在能夠不斷地傳講有限的救贖真理，卻始終保持新鮮感與生命力。 |
| Put the hay down where the sheep can reach it. Clovis Chappell 把草放到羊能搆得到的地方。 |
| Preachers should never
forget that preaching is destined for immediate effect. We always miss the mark when
we preach with the idea of doing good at some other time. Samuel Cook 傳道者當銘記，講道的目的是帶來當下的果效。若抱持「他日才見功效」的心態而講道，便已偏離了目標。 |
| If you shoot over the heads of your congregation,
you don't prove anything except that you don't know how to shoot. James Denney 如果你的宣講越過會眾頭上而沒有擊中會眾，你沒證明別的，只證明你不知道如何射向目標。 |
| All ministers should be
revival ministers, and all preaching should be revival preaching. Charles G. Finney 所有的傳道人都應該是奮興家，所有的宣講都應該是奮興的宣講。 |
| Aim at pricking the heart, not stroking the skin. Jerome 宣講的目標是刺透人心，而不是摸摸皮膚而已。 |
| The charge to Peter was
'Feed my sheep'; not 'Try experiments on my rats', or even 'Teach my performing dogs new
tricks'. C. S. Lewis 耶穌對彼得的託付是：「牧養我的羊」，而非「拿我的老鼠做試驗」，更不是「教我的馴犬學新把戲」。 |
| The Christian ministry exists for the promotion of
holiness. Donald MacLeod 基督徒事工存在目的是為了促進聖潔。 |
| My grant point in preaching
is to break the hard heart, and to heal the broken one. John Newton 我講道的主要重點在破碎剛硬的心，醫治破碎的心靈。 |
| To preach means not to make capital out of people's
felt frailties (the brainwasher's trick) but to measure their lives by the holy law of
God. J. I. Packer 宣講意味不是利用人們覺得自己污穢敗壞的心理（一種洗腦的把戲）而是藉著上帝聖潔律例衡量人們的生活。 |
| Flowers are well enough, but
hungry souls prefer bread. To allegorize with Origen may make men stare at you, but
your work is to fill men's mouths with truth, not to open them with wonder. C. H. Spurgeon 美麗鮮花的確不錯，但飢餓心靈需要的是麵包。巧妙解釋初代教父俄利根的神學會讓人對你瞠目結舌，但你的工作是要以真理餵飽他們的嘴，而不是要他們驚奇的張大嘴巴。 |
| Exposition is the work of bringing to bear the
authority of the Word of God on the totality of a man's being. Andrew C. S. Lewis 解經就是要讓神的話語影響人的整個生命，並彰顯其權威。 |
| Whenever you preach, be sure
that you lift the Saviour high and lay the sinner low. John Wilmot 無論你甚麼時候講道，一定要確定你在高舉救主並讓罪人謙卑。 |
