PREACHING and PREACHERS - Doctrine 傳道與傳道人

Error in the pulpit is like fire in the hayloft.

講台上的錯謬就像是著火的大草推。

It is not the man who brings the Word that saves the soul, but the Word which the man brings.

Thomas Arthur

並不是宣講上帝話與的人能拯救靈魂，而是他所宣講的上帝話語能拯救。

Screw the truth into men's minds.

Richard Baxter

我們要將真理緊緊的鎖進人們的心裡。

Preaching is truth through personality.

Phillips Brooks

宣道是透過個人人格傳達的真理。

Starched oratory may tickle the brain, but it is plain doctrine that informs the judgement, that convicts the conscience, that bows the will and that wins the heart.

Thomas Brooks

拘謹的演說可以讓人動動腦筋，但只有簡單的信仰能夠告訴人審判的事，讓良心認罪，使意志俯首並贏得人心。

I should rejoice to hear any one of my congregation saying, 'I forget who preached, I felt so much the influence of the truths he preached.'

Rowland Hill

我會樂於聽見我的會眾如此說道：「我忘記是誰講道了，但我深深感受他所傳講真理的影響力。」

Doctrine is only the drawing of the bow; application is hitting the mark.

Thomas Manton

教義只是拉弓而已；信息的應用才能擊中目標。

We shall never have great preachers till we have great divines. You cannot build a man-of-war out of a currant-bush.

C. H. Spurgeon

除非有偉大的神學家，我們不可能有偉大的傳道人。你無法從矮野莓藤中操練出驍勇善戰的人。

The preacher needs doctrine, to prevent his being a mere barrel-organ, playing over and over again the same tunes.

Augustus H. Strong

傳道人需要神學，好避免他只是成為一架手風琴，不斷不斷的重複彈奏同一個曲調。

If we do not possess a positive appetite for the Word, then we are not meant to be preachers. For it is not anything other than the Word that we are called to preach.

Arthur Skevington Wood

如果我們對上帝的話語沒有一個好胃口，那我們實在算不上是傳道人。因為我們蒙召不為別的，就是要傳講上帝的話語。
