PREACHING and PREACHERS - Humility 傳道與傳道人

No man who is full of himself can ever truly preach the Christ who emptied himself.

J. Sidlow Baxter

沒有任何一位充滿自我的人能夠宣講那位完全倒空自己的基督。

Dispensers of the gospel are the Bridegroom's friends, and they must not speak one word for the Bridegroom and two for themselves.

Thomas Brooks

傳遞福音的人是新郎的朋友，他們不應該在為新郎說一個字時，卻給自己說上兩個字。

No man can give at once the impressions that he himself is clever and that Jesus Christ is mighty to save.

James Denney

沒有一個人能夠讓人覺得他很聰明又覺得耶穌基督大有拯救的能力。

There is not in the universe a more ridiculous nor a more contemptible animal than a proud clergyman.

Henry Fielding

宇宙之間再沒有比驕傲的傳道人更荒謬、更卑鄙的動物了。

The pulpit can be a shop-window to display our talents; the closet speaks death to display.

Leonard Ravenhill

講壇是一個展示我們才能的櫥窗；可是我們不為人知的生活卻扼殺我們的展示。

Make sure it is God's trumpet you are blowing - if it is only yours it won't wake the dead, it will simply disturb the neighbours.

W. Ian Thomas

請確定你吹的是上帝的號角 - 如果你只是自吹自擂，你不會讓死人醒來，只會吵到鄰居而已。

Woe be to the church when the pastor comes up to the pulpit or comes into the pulpit. He must come down to the pulpit always.

A. W. Tozer

傳道人需要出人頭地或憑本事才能登上講壇的教會有禍了。傳道人必須經常一無所有的站在講壇。

We are no less sinners than our audience.

Humphrey Vellacott

我們與聽眾同為罪人，並沒有比他們好多少。
