  MR No. 705 - Faithful Ministers Needed

文稿发布-第09卷-第39章

  我们的队伍需有大的改革。那些从区会领工资的传道人当扪心自问：“我是忠心的工人吗？我能给教会属灵的帮助吗？”有些人要求高工资，却很少领人进入真理以站稳脚跟并忠于原则。现在是我们的传道人在主面前谦卑己心，向人做出率直且折服人的见证的时候。现在是他们认真工作以增加教会的人数，引导大家透彻地理解现代真理的时候。主在祂的教会中需要充满活力的肢体，就是那些能彼此鼓励，忠心服务的男男女女。（《信函》，1908年172号第5页，致总会职员，1908年5月26日）怀爱伦著作托管委员会1979年3月19日发表于美国首都华盛顿{9MR115.1}[1]

  There is need of a great reformation in our ranks. The ministers who are drawing pay from the conference need to ask themselves the question "Am I a faithful worker? Am I a spiritual help to the church?" There are those who demand high wages for their labors, but who bring few souls into the truth to stand steadfast and true to its principles. It is time for our ministers to humble their hearts before the Lord, and bear a straight, convincing testimony to the people. It is time for them to labor earnestly to increase the membership of the churches, leading all to a thorough understanding of the truth for this time. The Lord wants living members in His church, men and women who will encourage one another in faithful service.-- Letter 172, 1908, p. 5. (To the Officers of the General Conference, May 26, 1908.) White Estate Washington, D. C. March 19, 1979 {9MR 115.1}[1]
