| PREACHING and PREACHERS - Prayer | 傳道與傳道人 - 禱告 |
| One of the gravest perils which besets the ministry
is a restless scattering of energies over an amazing multiplicity of interests which
leaves no margin of time and of strength for receptive and absorbing communion with God. Andrew Bonar 環繞傳道人的最嚴重危機之一就是永無寧日的分散精力在令人嘆為觀止的繁雜興趣中，以致於只留下少許時間、能力去接受並吸收與上帝的交通。 |
| A prayless preacher is a
misnomer. E. M. Bounds 稱呼一個不禱告人為傳道人是個不當的稱呼。 |
| A school to teach preachers how to pray, as God
counts praying, would be more beneficial to true piety, true worship and true preaching
than all theological schools. E. M. Bounds 上帝看重禱告，因此一所教導傳道人如何禱告的學校比一切的神學院更能臻益真實的敬虔、崇拜以及傳道。 |
| None but praying leaders can
have praying followers...A praying pulpit will beget praying pews. E. M. Bounds 只有禱告領袖能帶出禱告同工...禱告的講台才能產生禱告的座椅。 |
| Let us, even to the wearing of our tongues to the
stumps, preach and pray. John Bradford 縱使我們的舌頭磨損到舌根，讓我們仍然傳道與祈禱。 |
| He will make the best divine
that studies on his knees. John Flavel 最佳的神學家用膝蓋研讀。 |
| To have prayed well is to have studied well. Martin Luther 好好禱告就能好好研讀。 |
| He that is more frequent in
his pulpit to his people than he is in his closet for his people is but a sorry watchman. John Owen 站在講台上對會眾宣講多過在內室為會眾禱告的傳道人是一位可憐的守望者。 |
| Prayer is the first thing, the second thing, the
third thing necessary to a minister. Pray, then, my dear brother, pray, pray, pray. Edward Payson 對傳道人而言，禱告是第一、第二、第三必要的事情。禱告，我再說，我親愛的弟兄，禱告、禱告、禱告。 |
| We should begin to pray
before we kneel down and we should not cease when we rise up. C. H. Spurgeon 我們在屈膝跪下之前就要開始禱告，而當我們站起來時仍不停止禱告。 |
