SERVICE - RESPONSIBILITY

服事 - 責任

Christians should be spring, not sponges.

基督徒應該是彈簧而不是海綿。

Morally, a Christian is called to holiness; dynamically, he is called to service.

It is almost as presumptuous to think you can do nothing as to think you can do everything.

Phillips Brooks

以為你甚麼都做不了跟以為甚麼都能做一樣,幾乎都可視為妄自尊大。

Your salvation is God's business; his service your business.

Thomas Fuller

你的救恩是上帝的事;祂的事工是你的事。

The vision must be followed by the venture.  It is not enough to stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.

Vance Havner

Whom God sends he employed, for he sends none to be idle.

Matthew Henry

上帝任命祂所差遣的,祂所差遣的沒有一個是遊手好閒的。

What were candles made for but to burn?

Matthew Henry

Faithfulness to God is our first obligation in all that we are called to do in the service of the gospel.

It is a truth that stands out with startling distinctness on the pages of the New Testament that God has no sons who are not servants.

H. D. Ward

在新約聖經中顯而易見、令我們驚訝的是,上帝沒有一個兒子不是僕人的。

Our humility serves us falsely when it leads us to shrink from any duty.  The plea of unfitness or inability is utterly insufficient to excuse us.

Spiros Zodhiates

當我們的謙卑讓我們從任何職責退縮,這樣的謙卑是虛假的。覺得自己不配、不能的哀求不足以成為我們的藉口。
