八月十四日以爱心讲述真理

The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth. Exodus 34:6. {RC 240.1}

“耶和华，是有怜悯、有恩典的上帝，不轻易发怒，并有丰盛的慈爱和诚实”（出34:6）。{RC240.1}

The Lord is soon to come. The angels are holding the four winds, in order that God’s people may do their long-neglected work. We are not half awake to what might be done in our world.... {RC 240.2}

主快要来了。四位天使正在执掌四方的风，要让上帝的子民完成他们久已忽略的工作。我们根本没有意识到为我们的世界所能作的工。……{RC240.2}

House-to-house work is one very successful way of reaching souls. But it is not the only way that God has provided for the advancement of His work. Decided proclamations of truth are to be made. But in regard to this line of work I am instructed to say to our people: Be guarded. In bearing the message make no personal thrusts at other churches.... Let us be careful of our words. Let not our ministers follow their own impulses in denouncing and exposing the mysteries of iniquity. Upon these themes often silence is eloquence. {RC 240.3}

挨家挨户的工作是一种接触人心非常有效的方法。但这不是上帝所预备推进祂圣工的唯一方法。要坚定地传扬真理。但关于这项工作，我蒙指示对我们的信徒说：要谨慎。在传扬信息时，不要对其他教会，…进行人身攻击。……我们应当检点自己的言语。但愿我们的传道人在谴责和揭露“不法的隐意”时，不要意气用事。在这些问题上，沉默便是口才。……{RC240.3}

Many are deceived. Speak the truth in tones and words of love. Let Christ be exalted. Keep to the affirmative of truth. Never leave the straight path God has marked out, for the purpose of giving someone a thrust. That thrust may do much harm and no good. It may quench conviction in many minds. Let the truth tell the story of the inconsistency of those in error. {RC 240.4}

许多人受了欺骗。我们要用爱的语言和语气宣讲真理。要高举基督耶稣，坚持正面的真理。切不可离开上帝所划出的直路，攻击别人。攻击是有害无益的。它会熄灭许多人心中的感悟。让真理来揭露持守谬道之人的矛盾观念吧！{RC240.4}

People cannot be expected to see at once the advantage of truth over the error they have cherished. The best way to expose the fallacy of error is to present the evidence of truth. This is the greatest rebuke that can be given to error. Dispel the cloud of darkness resting on minds by reflecting the bright light of the Sun of Righteousness. {RC 240.5}

我们不能指望人们立即就看出真理对他们所怀谬道的优势。揭露谬道的最佳方法就是提出真理的证据。这是给予谬道的最大打击。要藉着返照公义日头的明亮光辉，驱散笼罩在人心头的乌云。{RC240.5}

You may have opportunity to speak to other churches. In improving these opportunities, remember the words of the Saviour, “Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” Do not arouse the malignity of the enemy by making denunciatory speeches. Thus you would close doors against the entrance of truth. Clear-cut messages are to be borne. But guard against arousing antagonism. Restrain all harsh expressions. {RC 240.6}

你可能有机会在其他教会讲话。在利用这些机会的时候，要记住救主的话：“你们要灵巧象蛇，驯良象鸽子”（太10:16）。不要用指责的语气惹起他人的敌意，从而关闭真理进入人心的门路。要传出清晰的信息，但要谨防引起对立情绪。但要克制一切严厉的言辞。{RC240.6}

There are many souls to be saved. In words and deed be wise unto salvation, representing Christ to all with whom you come in contact. Let all see that your feet are shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace and goodwill to men. Wonderful are the results we shall see if we enter the work imbued with the Spirit of Christ. If we carry the Word forward, in righteousness, mercy, and love, help will come in our necessity. Truth will triumph and bear away the victory.—Pacific Union Recorder, October 23, 1902. {RC 240.7}

许多生灵正待拯救。所以在言行上要有得救的智慧，向你所接触的一切人表现基督。要使他们看出你们已经用平安的福音，当作预备走路的鞋穿在脚上，并对众人怀良善的心。我们若被基督的灵所充满来从事这项工作，就必会看见美妙的功效。我们若凭公义、怜悯与爱心推进圣工，在需要的时候就必得着帮助。真理必要获得胜利。（PUR.1902.10.23）{RC240.7}
