| PREACHING and PREACHERS - Dangers | 傳道與傳道人 - 危險 |
| Never put yourself in the position where you have to
evacuate the message in order to accommodate the method. 永遠不要讓你你自己落到一個需要修改信息好適應講道方法的地步。 |
| There are three particular
temptations that assail Christ leaders: the temptation to shine, the temptation to whine
and the temptation to recline. 這兒有三個特別困擾基督徒領袖的試探：出類拔萃的試探，哀嚎抱怨的試探以及舒適生活的試探。 |
| A pleasing preacher is too often an appeasing
preacher. 一昧討好的傳道人通常是姑息妥協的傳道人。 |
| There are passages of the
Bible that are soiled for ever by the touches of the hands of ministers who delight in the
cheap jokes they have left behind them. G. K. Chesterton 不少聖經信息是藉著那些性喜廉價笑話的傳道人之手撒下的，不久就被拋到腦後了。 |
| A ministry that is college-trained but not
Sprit-filled works no miracles. Samuel Chadwick 受過神學院訓練但缺乏聖靈充滿的傳道人作不出奇妙的工作。 |
| A self-serving minister is
one of the most loathsome sights in all the world. Walter J. Chantry 一個自力救濟的傳道人是世間最令人厭惡的一個景象。 |
| It has always been a mark of the false prophets and
preachers that they preached what people wanted to hear. Peter De Jong 只傳講人們喜歡聽的信息，這一直都是假先知及假傳道人的記號。 |
| I had rather be fully
understood by ten than admired by ten thousand. Jonathan Edwards 我寧可只有十個人全然聽得懂我所講的，而不要千萬個人讚賞我。 |
| Popularity has killed more prophets than
persecution. Vance Havner 聲望比逼迫殺死更多的先知。 |
| The false preacher is one
who has to say something; the true preacher is one who something to say. H. G. Wells 假的傳道人是一個不得不要說些甚麼的人，真的傳道人則是一個有話要說的人。 |
| To be always preaching, teaching, speaking, writing,
and working public works is unquestionably a sign of zeal. But it is not a sign of
zeal according to knowledge. J. C. Ryle 經常講道、教導、言談、寫作以及處理公共事務，毫無疑問的是一個熱心的記號。但卻不是根基於知識的熱心。 |
| A crowd is not an
achievement, only an opportunity. W. E. Sangster 吸引大批人群算不上是甚麼成就，只是一個傳福音機會。 |
| If it is bad to reach over people's heads, not to
preach to their heads at all is worse. James S. Stewart 如果傳講的信息越過人的頭腦是不好的，那如果不能講道人的心裡則更糟糕。 |
| No man ought to be in a
Christian pulpit who fear man more than God. William Still 任何懼怕人勝於懼怕上帝的人都不應該站在教會講台上。 |
| Observance over the years leads one to say that the
appeals to the emotions, while often increasing the results, increases the chaff in
greater proportion. F. C. White 經過多年觀察可以如此斷言，那些訴諸情感的宣道的確可以增加果效，可是增加的大部分都是無用的糠秕而已。 |
