Chapter 20—Planning and Strategy
论教牧工作-第21章
肩负救灵重担的传道人必看到他们劳苦的功效——藉着基督的恩典,上帝的传道人要成为光明和福惠的使者。他们既通过恳切的祈祷领受圣灵的恩赐,肩负着救人的重担出去,满腔热忱地推广十字架的胜利,就必看到自己劳苦的功效。他们如果坚决不炫耀人的智慧或高抬自己,就必成就一番经得起撒但打击的工作。许多人就会弃暗就光,许多教会就会建立起来。人们会悔改,不是归向用作器皿的人,而是归向基督。自我会藏在幕后,惟有髑髅地的耶稣要彰显出来。--RH1911.8.24{PaM 121.1}[1]

Ministers weighted with the burden of soul-saving will see fruit for their labors—Through the grace of Christ, God’s ministers are made messengers of light and blessing. As by earnest, persevering prayer they obtain the endowment of the Holy Spirit and go forth weighted with the burden of soul-saving, their hearts filled with zeal to extend the triumphs of the cross, they will see fruit of their labors. Resolutely refusing to display human wisdom or to exalt self, they will accomplish a work that will withstand the assaults of Satan. Many souls will be turned from darkness to light, and many churches will be established. Men will be converted, not to the human instrumentality, but to Christ. Self will be kept in the background; Jesus only, the Man of Calvary, will appear.—The Review and Herald, August 24, 1911.{PaM 121.1}[1]

【传道的时间】
专心从事救灵工作--有些传道人很容易转离他们的工作。他们变得灰心丧气,要不就是去注意自己的家,撇下正在增长的慕道兴趣,使之因缺乏关心而消亡。这样对圣工造成的伤害几乎无法估计。一旦开始了传播真理的努力,负责的传道人就应感到有责任成功地维持它。如果他的工作看似没有结果,他就应该力求藉着恳切的祷告发现所做的工作是不是应有的样子。他应该藉着自省在上帝面前谦卑己心,且凭信心依靠上帝的应许,谦卑地继续努力,直到满意于忠实地履行了自己的责任,做了自己力所能及的一切事以获得想要的结果。--4T265.{PaM 121.2}[2]

【Time for Evangelism】
Center your mind on the one object of saving souls—Some ministers are easily diverted from their work. They become discouraged, or are attracted to their homes, and leave a growing interest to die for want of attention. The harm done to the cause in this way can scarcely be estimated. When an effort to promulgate the truth is started, the minister in charge should feel responsible to carry it through successfully. If his labors appear to be without result, he should seek by earnest prayer to discover if they are what they should be. He should humble his soul before God in self-examination, and by faith cling to the divine promises, humbly continuing his efforts till he is satisfied that he has faithfully discharged his duty, and done everything in his power to gain the desired result.—Testimonies for the Church 4:265.{PaM 121.2}[2]
论教牧工作-第21章
传道人滞留于各教会对他们有害——教会自己里面没有生命,失去了属灵的辨识力,就叫传道人来帮助他们,给他们带来生命的气息。但是传道人还有其他的工作要做。他们必须将真理的信息传给还不知道的人。这些滞留于各教会的传道人,给不出那如两刃的利剑可以两边剖刺的明确信息,对教会是有害的。他们没有为生灵的得救而作工,这些人因不认识真理而处于极大的危险之中。他们自己在属灵上将要死亡了,也使那些设法帮助他们的人忧虑和灰心。--6MR65.{PaM 121.3}[3]
论教牧工作-第21章
Ministers who hover over their churches do them harm—The churches that have not life in themselves, that have lost their spiritual discernment, call for ministers to come to their help, to bring them the breath of life. But the ministers have other work to do. They must carry the message of truth to those who know it not. Those ministers who hover about the churches, who have not a clear cut message, which, like a sharp, two-edged sword, cuts both ways, will do the churches harm. They will not work for the salvation of souls that are in great peril because they know not the truth, and they will?die spiritually themselves, and trouble and discourage those who try to help them.—Manuscript Releases 6:65.{PaM 121.3}[3]
论教牧工作-第21章
从事救灵工作的传道人会激发从事救灵工作的信徒--当教会看到他们的牧者都焕发着做工的精神,深感真理的力量,力图将真理传给他人时,就会获得新的生命和活力。他们的心会受到激励,力所能及地协助圣工。世界上没有任何一班人比安息日复临信徒更加愿意牺牲自己的钱财以推进圣工了。牧者们若没有因着自己的懒惰、无能、以及灵性的缺乏而使信徒彻底灰心失望,他们通常会响应符合自己的判断和良知的任何呼吁。但他们也希望看到果效。--3T49.{PaM 122.1}[4]
论教牧工作-第21章
Soul winning ministers produce soul winning members—When the church sees that the ministers are all aglow with the spirit of the work, that they feel deeply the force of the truth, and are seeking to bring others to the knowledge of it, it will put new life and vigor into them. Their hearts will be stirred to do what they can to aid in the work. There is not a class of people in the world who are more willing to sacrifice of their means to advance the cause than are Seventh-day Adventists. If the ministers do not utterly discourage them by their indolence and inefficiency, and by their lack of spirituality, they will generally respond to any appeal that may be made that commends itself to their judgment and consciences. But they want to see fruit.—Testimonies for the Church 3:49.{PaM 122.1}[4]

【教会的计划】
向教会提出的计划应争取信徒的同意和支持--今日的教会需要尼希米那样的人。他们不仅能祷告和讲道,而且带着坚定热忱的宗旨。这位希伯来的爱国者在完成他的计划时所采取的方针应为传道人和领袖们所效法。当他们在制定计划的时候,应当征得教会的同意和支持。要让人们了解和参与这些计划,他们就会关心其成功。--3BC1137.{PaM 122.2}[5]

【Church Planning】
Present your plans to the church in such a manner as to win members’ interest and cooperation—There is need of Nehemiahs in the church today, not men who can pray and preach only, but men whose prayers and sermons are braced with firm and eager purpose. The course pursued by this Hebrew patriot in the accomplishment of his plans is one that should still be adopted by ministers and leading men. When they have laid their plans, they should present them to the church in such a manner as to win their interest and cooperation. Let the people understand the plans and share in the work, and they will have a personal interest in its prosperity.—The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 3:1137.{PaM 122.2}[5]
论教牧工作-第21章
应当让信徒密切关注你的计划——为什么不安排他们探望病人和协助其他工作,使教会保持在行动的状态中呢?所有的人都要这样密切关注传道人的计划,以便他随时都能请求他们支援,而他们也可以聪明地与他同工。所有的人都要与上帝同工。这样,传道人就会觉得他有可以信任的助手。传道人安排这些工人工作,表明他信任他们,就能加速达成满意的结果。--RH1895.7.9{PaM 122.3}[6]
论教牧工作-第21章
Keep members in close touch with your plans—Why not put them to work visiting the sick and assisting in other ways, and thus keep the church in a workable condition? All would thus be kept in close touch with the minister’s plans, so that he could call for their assistance at any moment, and they would be able to labor intelligently with him. All should be laborers together with God, and then the minister can feel that he has helpers in whom it is safe to trust. The minister can hasten this desirable end by showing that he has confidence in the workers by setting them to work.—The Review and Herald, July 9, 1895.{PaM 122.3}[6]
论教牧工作-第21章
应该信任教会的职员和信徒,与他们分担工作--教会的许多成员一直被剥夺了他们本应享有的经验,因为流行的观点是,传道人应该做一切的工作,背负一切的担子。要么是人们把担子堆在传道人身上,要么是传道人自己承担了本应由信徒尽的本分。传道人应该信任教会的职员和信徒,教导他们如何为主作工。这样,传道人就不会不得不亲自做一切的工作了,同时教会也会更受益,过于传道人努力做一切的工作却让信徒们不尽主原要他们尽的本分。--RH1895.7.9{PaM 122.4}[7]
论教牧工作-第21章
Take officers and members into your confidence and share the work with them—Many members of the church have been deprived of the experience which they should have had, because the sentiment has prevailed that the minister should do all the work and bear all the burdens. Either the burdens have been crowded upon the minister, or he has assumed those duties that should have been performed by the members of the church. Ministers should take the officers and members of the church into their confidence,and teach them how to labor for the Master. Thus the minister will not have to perform all the labor himself, and at the same time the church will receive greater benefit than if he endeavored to do all the work, and release the members of the church from acting the part which the Lord designed that they should.—The Review and Herald, July 9, 1895.{PaM 122.4}[7]
