| REVIVAL | 奮興 |
| A revival may produce noise, but it does not consist
of it. The real thing is whole-hearted obedience. Ernest Baker 奮興或許會帶來吵雜，但吵雜可不是其中的成分。真正的是全心的順服。 |
| It is easier to speak about
revival than to set about it. Horatius Bonar 說說奮興比確實產生奮興容易得多了。 |
| Revival is the exchange of the form of godliness for
its living power. John Bonar 奮興是以活潑的能力代替敬虔的外貌。 |
| Revival is not the top
blowing off but the bottom falling out. Darrell Bridges 奮興不是從上頭吹下來，而是基層開始的。 |
| A revival of religion...consists in new spiritual
life imparted to the dead and in new spiritual health imparted to the living. James Buchanan 一個奮興的宗教...包含帶給屬靈的死人新的屬靈生命，帶給屬靈活人新的屬靈健康。 |
| In our biblical desire for
revival, we must refuse to seek any experience which proposes to eliminate our natural
weakness. Walter Chantry 在合乎聖經教導的對奮興期望裡，我們應該拒絕尋求任何能夠消弭我們先天軟弱的經驗。 |
| When God visits his church according to his
promises, effects follow that make people shout. 'This is the finger of God!' John Elias 當上帝依照祂的應許蒞臨教會時，所產生的果效是讓人們呼喊：「這是上帝手指的觸摸！」 |
| All ministers should be
revival ministers, and all preaching should be revival preaching. Charles G. Finney 所有的傳道人都該是奮興的傳道人，所有的宣講都該是奮興的宣講。 |
| Every revival that ever came in the history of the
world, or in the history of the church, laid great emphasis on the holiness of God. Billy Graham 任何歷史上的奮興，或者教會歷史的奮興，均十分強調上帝的聖潔。 |
| Revival is not going down
the street with a big drum; it is going back to Calvary with a big sob. Roy Hession 奮興不是拿著大鼓沿街敲打；而是帶著大大啜泣回到髑髏地。 |
| Revival is a series of new beginnings. David McKee 奮興是一系列的新開始。 |
| We ought to be so living
that when God begins his great triumphant march we shall fall in with the first battalion,
and have part in the first victories. G. Campbell Morgan 我們應該覺得十分真實，當上帝開始祂勝利的遊行時，我們就列入第一個行列中，我們有分於這最先的勝利。 |
| In any biblical revival the norm is heightened; it
is not suspended while another type of Christianity is introduced. Iain H. Murray 在任何合乎聖經教導的奮興中，標準是提高的；它可不是停在那兒等待另一種型態的基督教的出現。 |
| Waiting for general revival
is no excuse for not enjoying personal revival. Stephen Olford 等待全面的奮興不能成為不享受個人奮興的藉口。 |
| The best definition of revival is 'times of
refreshing...from the presence of the Lord'. J. Edwin Orr 奮興的最佳定義是：「從上帝的臨在重新得力的時間。」 |
| Revival means the work of
God restoring to a ...church, in a manner out of the ordinary, those standards which the
New Testament sets forth as being entirely ordinary. J. I. Packer 奮興意味上帝以特殊方式復興教會的工作，這些方式在新約聖經中卻是十分平常的。 |
| True revival has always begun with and resulted in
separation. Vernon Patterson 真正的奮興始於並終於分別為聖。 |
| A revival is from God or it
is not revival at all. Wilbur M. Smith 奮興若非來自上帝就不是奮興。 |
| God is more willing to give revival than we are to
receive it. Erlo Stegan 上帝十分願意賜下奮興勝於我們盼望得著奮興。 |
| The true spirit of revival
eludes the grasp of the organizer and the advertiser. It cannot be created by
machinery nor promoted by printer's ink. James A. Stewart 真正奮興的靈非出於組織與廣告。奮興無法藉著組織產生，也無法藉著印刷機墨水四處擴散。 |
| It is useless for large companies of believers to
spend long hours begging God to send revival. Unless we intend to reform we may as
well not pray. A. W. Tozer 集合一大群基督徒花不少時間乞求上帝賜下奮興是徒勞無功的。除非我們想要改變，否則我們不要禱告。 |
| In one sense, Pentecost can
never happen again. In another sense, it may always be happening, since we live in
the age of Spirit. Arthur Skevington Wood 就一種意義而言，五旬節是不可能再發生的，就另一種意義而言，由於我們是在聖靈的時期，五旬節也能經常發生。 |
| Revival is not an earthly concoction; it is a
heavenly creation. Arthur Skevington Wood 奮興不是屬世調配出來的，而是一個屬天的創造。 |
