tragedy in the world today is that God has made man in his image and made him to worship
him, made him to play the harp of worship before the face of God day and night, but he has
failed God and dropped the harp. It lies voiceless at his feet. A. W. Trapp 我認為當今世界最大的悲劇是：上帝照著自己的形像造人，是為了讓人敬拜祂，讓人能晝夜在上帝面前彈奏敬拜的豎琴；但人卻辜負了上帝，丟棄了那把豎琴。現在，它就無聲地躺在人的腳邊。 |
