MR No. 725 - Compelling Power in Preaching
文稿发布-第09卷-第57章
我蒙指示看到，（J.N.）拉夫伯勒、（摩西.）赫尔和（J.N.）安德鲁斯一直贪求阅读太多书籍。他们阅读和研究的超过了他们能记忆的，我蒙指示看到“读书多，身体疲倦”（传12:12）。他们没有给心智时间休息，而心智影响着身体。头脑疲倦身体就受苦。这是有害的。他们用脑过度，没有益处，然后就损害了工作，损害了他们愿意提倡的真理的效果，因为他们在一堂道里塞进那么多东西，讲那么多点，以致人们往往无法赏识或跟上他们。他们若是使听众们心中牢记一两点，并且使这些点至关重要，深入讲解并且敦促他们知道拒绝有关这些要点的亮光的危险，他们的工作就会更加成功。要让听众的心清楚地明白每一要点的意义然后敦促他们作决定。{9MR207.1}[1]

I was shown that Brethren [J.N.] Loughborough, [Moses] Hull, and [J.N.] Andrews have been greedy for too many books. They have read and studied more than they can retain, and I was shown that much study is a weariness of the flesh (Ecclesiastes 12:12). They have not given the mind time to rest, and the mind affects the body. Weary the mind and the body suffers. It is injured. They have taken upon the mind more than they can use to any advantage, and then they injure the work, injure the effect of the truth that they would advocate, by crowding into one discourse so much and making so many points that minds cannot always appreciate or follow them. More success would attend their labors if they riveted one or two points in the minds of the hearers and make these points of vital importance, press them home and urge upon them the danger of rejecting the light upon those points. Let the minds of the hearers distinctly understand the bearing of every point and then urge to a decision. {9MR 207.1}[1]

我蒙指示看到，消耗在那么多阅读和学习上的时间往往比浪费了还糟糕。花在书本和学习上的大部分时间应该用来在上帝面前恳求祂赐天上的智慧和力量与能力，好让他们确实充分明白的真理以其清晰和谐的荣美在人前发出光来。花在私祷和神圣默想上的时间太少了。上帝仆人的呼求应该是求圣洁的恩膏和披戴救恩，以便他们所传的可以感动人心。时间如此短促，这些末后日子的传道人又是这么少，他们应该将自己全部的精力投入工作中，也应该与上帝和圣天使有密切的联络，以便他们的讲道有巨大的能力——一种激励人的能力，吸引每一个诚实正直爱真理的人继续信奉真理。{9MR207.2}[2]

I was shown that the time that is consumed in so much reading and study is often worse than thrown away. A large portion of the time spent over books and in studying should be spent before God imploring Him for heavenly wisdom and for strength and power to let the truth which they do fully understand shine out before the people in its clearness and harmonious beauty. There is too little time spent in secret prayer and in sacred meditation. The cry of God's servants should be for the holy unction and to be clothed with salvation, that what they preach may reach hearts. Time is so short and ministers of these last days are so few that they should throw all their energies into the work, and should be in close connection with God and holy angels, that a tremendous power may be in their preaching--a compelling power, to draw every soul who is honest and loves the truth right along to embrace it. {9MR 207.2}[2]

单单真理的理论是没有力量的。它需要天上的认可，惟独上帝能给它的最后处理。每一个本着信心提出的请求都存寄在天，不会被忽视，而会带来宝贵的回报。我看到有太少祈祷，太少在上帝面前谦卑己心，太少持住上面、情辞迫切地请求并与上帝角力，以便祂使祂的真理好像两刃的利剑去所向披靡了。一直在倚靠阅读和研究而不倚靠上帝的能力。保罗可以栽种，亚波罗可以浇灌，然而惟有上帝叫它生长（林前3:6,7）。上帝的传道人拥有的知识多过活泼的信心和敬虔。这些财宝都应该认真追求。所以，愿他们在阅读和研究上实行节制。他们要更多倚赖上帝的灵和祂的能力去使真理深入听众的心而不是倚靠从大量阅读得到的知识。真理的理论若没有上帝的能力就不会产生多少效果。{9MR208.1}[3]

A mere theory of the truth is powerless. It needs the heavenly endorsement, the finish that God alone can give it. Every petition put up in faith is lodged in heaven and will not be neglected, but will bring precious returns. I saw that there was too little praying, too little humbling the soul before God, too little laying hold above and importuning and earnest wrestling with God that He may make His truth like a sharp, two-edged sword, to cut every way. There has been more trusting in reading and studying than in the power of God. A Paul may plant and an Apollos water, but God giveth the increase (1 Corinthians 3:6, 7). God's ministers have more knowledge than living faith and godliness. These treasures all should seek after earnestly. Then will they exercise temperance in reading, in studying. They will depend more on the Spirit of God and His power to set home the truth to the hearts of the hearers than upon knowledge obtained from much reading. The theory of truth without the power of God will produce but little effect. {9MR 208.1}[3]
