论教牧工作-第45章
传道人要避免冗长的委员会会议--当一位传道人被叫去解决各教会的小困难时，他是无法保持最佳属灵心境的。这不是指定给他的工作。上帝希望使用祂所拣选之使者的每一才能。他们的心不应该被晚上长时间的会议弄得疲倦不堪；因为上帝要他们运用全部脑力来传讲基督耶稣里的福音。--Ev662.{PaM 251.1}[1]
论教牧工作-第45章
Ministers should avoid long committee meetings—A minister cannot keep in the best spiritual frame of mind while he is called upon to settle little difficulties in the various churches. This is not his appointed work. God desires to use every faculty of His chosen messengers. Their mind should not be wearied by long committee meetings at night; for God wants all their brain power to be used in proclaiming the gospel as it is in Christ Jesus.—Evangelism, 662.{PaM 251.1}[1]
论教牧工作-第45章
没有参加委员会会议的人对于后来事情如何成就起到关键的作用——他们说，“这只是一个事务性的会议。”但是凡有智力的人都应当渴望并且决心明白如何经营事务。有些已放弃信仰的人就圣工及其业务的管理说了不真实的话。这些人如果参加了业务会议并且认真听取了会议的内容，就会明白各部门的工作是如何进行的，并作出见证，证明各部门严格诚实的特征。仇敌就不能含沙射影地说，有些事情被隐瞒了，不让人知道。不关心业务会议的人，通常也不会真正关心上帝的事业，那些受试探认为我们的各项工作没有按所应当的办理的人就属于这一等人。--RH1884.4.29{PaM 251.2}[2]
论教牧工作-第45章
Those who do not attend committee meetings tend to be critical later of how things are done—They say, “Oh, it is only a business meeting.” But all who have the mental capacity ought to be anxious and determined to understand how the business matters are managed. Some who have given up the faith have made very false statements in relation to the workings of the cause and the management of its business. Had these attended the business meetings, and listened attentively to the proceedings, they would have understood how the work was conducted in all its branches, and could have borne testimony to the strict integrity that characterizes every department. The enemy could not then have urged in the insinuation that there were things kept back that the people were not permitted to know. Those who take no interest in the business meetings, generally have no real interest in the cause of God, and these are the ones who are tempted to believe that the management of our various enterprises is not just what it should be.—The Review and Herald, April 29, 1884.{PaM 251.2}[2]

【组织原则】
不要在同一个议事会和委员会中任职多年--虔诚是需要的。要表现出更少的自信和更多的谦卑。上帝的圣工已被人视为平凡。最好要更换议事会和委员会的人员，而不要多年保留他们的职位，直至这些人觉得自己的建议必须毫无疑问地被人采纳，而且一般没有人提反对的意见。--TM417.{PaM 251.3}[3]
论教牧工作-第45章
【Principles in Forming】
The same persons should not serve for years on the same boards and committees—Piety is needed. Less self-confidence and far more humility must be seen. The work of God has come to be looked upon as a common thing. It would have been much better to have changed the men on boards and committees than to have retained the very same men for years, until they supposed that their propositions were to be adopted without a question; and generally no voice has been lifted in an opposite direction.—Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 417.{PaM 251.3}[3]
论教牧工作-第45章
委员会不应当由那些没有克己精神的人组成——当我们的弟兄，就是那些心硬如石头，没有肉心的人把持着董事会，你能期望什么呢？这些人怎能明白那些在上帝工作的建设上付出牺牲的人呢？他们没有自我牺牲的精神，又怎能理解那些衣着简朴，克己，置身于任何使上帝圣工兴旺之位置的人呢？他们对此一窍不通，就像希腊语一样难懂。--EGW'88988.{PaM 252.1}[4]
论教牧工作-第45章
Committees should not be made up of those who have no spirit of self denial—When our brethren keep on the board, men whose hearts are as hard as stone, men who have not hearts of flesh, what can you expect? How can these men know what those sacrificed in the building up of the work. They have no spirit of sacrifice themselves, and how can they understand the experience of those who dressed cheaply, and who denied self, who placed themselves in any position that the cause of God might prosper. They know nothing of this, it is Greek to them.—Ellen G. White 1888 Materials, 988.{PaM 252.1}[4]
论教牧工作-第45章
【管理原则】
委员会和祷告会都要受圣灵的指导--我要对你们说，这次会议要举行的事务会议与祷告会一样是侍奉上帝的组成部分。事务会议与祷告聚会一样，要在圣灵的指导之下。我们有接受情绪化宗教的危险。要让在这次会议上办理的事物显出天上的众军能够嘉许的那种神圣性质。我们应当极其郑重地保守我们圣工的事务。在这里开展的各方面工作都要符合天国的原则。--3SM336.{PaM 252.2}[5]
论教牧工作-第45章
【Principles of Conducting】
The committee meeting should be just as much under the dictation of the Spirit as the prayer meeting—I wish to say to you that the business which may be carried on at this meeting is just as much a part of the service of God as is prayer. The business meeting is to be just as much under the dictation of the Spirit as the prayer meeting. There is danger of our getting a sentimental, impulsive religion. Let the business transacted at this meeting stand forth in such sacredness that the heavenly host can approve of it. We are to guard most sacredly the business lines of our work. Every line of business carried on here is to be in accordance with the principles of heaven.—Selected Messages 3:336.{PaM 252.2}[5]
论教牧工作-第45章
当委员会会议认识到上帝的同在时，就可防止轻率的话语和专横的态度——当以上帝为祂自己产业的最高统治者。每个人都当置身于祂的管束之下。我们的集会、事务会、议会和委员会，都当认祂为主。祂看见一切所行的，听见一切所说的。祂有名为“看顾人的上帝”（创16:13）。惟愿众人都牢记不忘这句话。如此就可谨防讲出轻率愠怒的话语，并防止一切支配他人的欲望。这句话也会抑制不当说的话，和世人无权通过的议案，就是限制人自由的议案。--18MR225.{PaM 252.3}[6]
论教牧工作-第45章
When God’s presence is recognized in committee meetings, it will safeguard against imprudent speeches and domineering attitudes—Let God be recognized as the supreme Ruler of His heritage. Let every man place himself under His control. Let Him be recognized in all our assemblies, in every business meeting, every council, every committee. He sees all that is done, and hears all that is said. “Thou God seest me.” Let these words be kept ever in mind. They will be a safeguard against imprudent, passionate speeches, against all desire to domineer. They will repress words that should never be spoken, and resolutions that men have no right to make—resolutions that restrict the liberty of human beings.—Manuscript Releases 18:225.{PaM 252.3}[6]
论教牧工作-第45章
撒但参加每一次委员会会议，设法影响人去提出延误工作的异议——主让祂的仆人们牢记：应当做的事没有在合适的时间完成，因为这些人在撒但的暗示下提出自己的意见。魔鬼将这些想法放到他们心里，为要阻碍上帝的工作和让他们厌恶那些希望看到上帝工作有进展的人。所提出的建议是他们自己编出来的。上帝从未向他们灌输这样的思想。撒但参加每一次董事会，事务会和委员会。如果他能影响任何人的心思提出异议或拖延工作时间的建议，使前来参赴会议的人筋疲力尽，他就狂喜不已。他已介入这件事。由于有些身居要责之人品格中不圣洁的成分，使应当迅速完成的事务以一种微妙的方式变得冗长拖沓，令人厌倦。他们不知道何时讲话何时保持沉默。--12MR23.{PaM 252.4}[7]
论教牧工作-第45章
Satan attends every committee meeting, trying to impress minds to make objections that will delay the work—The very thing that the Lord had impressed upon the minds of His servants that ought to be done has not been done at the right time, because these men advanced their own ideas under the suggestions the devil had put in their minds to hinder the work of God and to disgust those who would see the work of God move. There have been suggestions made by themselves which have carried, which God never put into their minds. Satan attends every board meeting, every business meeting, every committee meeting, and if he can impress anyone’s mind to make objections or to throw in suggestions that will delay the work hours and weary out those who are called upon to attend these meetings, he is?wonderfully pleased. He has had his way in the matter. And the business which should be pushed through with dispatch, yet in an intelligent manner, is made tedious and to drag along because of the human, unsanctified elements in the character of some who are placed in responsible positions, who do not have knowledge when to speak and when to keep silent.—Manuscript Releases 12:23.{PaM 252.4}[7]
论教牧工作-第45章
处理成员的权利在教会，而不在议事会--他“若是不听他们，”又当怎样办呢？几个人开一个议事会，就可负责把这行错的弟兄除名吗？在太18:17上告诉我们说：“若是不听他们，就告诉教会。”让教会表决有关其成员的事。--7T262.{PaM 253.1}[8]
论教牧工作-第45章
Only the church, not the board, disciplines members—“And if he shall neglect to hear them,” what then shall be done? Shall a few persons in a board meeting take upon themselves the responsibility of disfellowshiping the erring one? “If he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church.” Let the church take action in regard to its members.—Testimonies for the Church 7:262.{PaM 253.1}[8]
