| SPIRITUAL GIFTS | 屬靈恩賜 |
| All Christ's gifts are like himself, spiritual and
heavenly. Thomas Brooks 基督所有恩賜都像他自己一樣,是屬靈的、屬天的。 |
| There is none so poor in the
church of Christ who may not impart to us something of value. John Calvin 在基督的教會裡,再貧窮的人,也能教給我們一些寶貴的東西。 |
| Spiritual gifts are not toys with which to play;
they are tools of the Spirit with which to do the Lord's work effectively. G. Raymond Carlson 屬靈恩賜不是用來玩耍的玩具,而是聖靈用來有效完成主工作的工具。 |
| Spiritual gifts are no proof
of spirituality. Samuel Chadwick 擁有屬靈恩賜,並不能證明一個人是屬靈的。 |
| You cannot have the gifts of Christ apart from the
government of Christ. A. Lindsay Glegg 你無法在脫離基督的管治下,擁有祂所賜的恩賜。 |
| Pride of gifts robs us of
God's blessing in the use of them. William Gurnall 因恩賜而產生的驕傲,會使我們在使用這些恩賜時,失去神的賜福。 |
| A drop of grace is worth a sea of gifts. William Jenkyn 一滴恩典,勝過一片恩賜的海洋。 |
| The best gifts are those
which benefit the whole body. You don't find many people asking for the gift of
liberality. Harry Kilbride 最好的恩賜是那些能讓整個身體(教會)受益的。你不會看到很多人祈求『慷慨』這份恩賜。 |
| To consider the charismata as intended merely to
adorn and benefit the person endowed would be just as absurd as to say, 'I light the fire
to warm not the room but the stove.' Fred Caddick 將屬靈恩賜視為僅僅是為了裝飾和造福受恩賜的人,這就好比說:「我點火是為了溫暖爐子,而不是溫暖整個房間。」一樣荒謬。 |
| Gifts are but as dead
graces, but graces are living gifts. Christopher Nesse 恩賜是死的恩典,恩典則是活的恩賜。 |
