证道和演讲-卷二-第1章
怀爱伦的灵感服务与基督复临安息日会的兴起和成长有着密不可分的关系。这位被圣灵充满的上帝使者藉着她的著作和公开演讲,凝聚了1844年大失望之后意志消沉的信徒,给他们带来了新的盼望,将他们的注意力集中在圣经的“现代真理”上,号召他们将三天使的信息传到全世界。她预言的恩赐,结合她对圣经作为真理和经验无误试金石的坚定信心,为一场运动奠定了稳固的基础。这场运动起初十分弱小。惟有上帝天意特别的安排才使它有了今日的规模——拥有上千万信徒的普世性教会,在全球的各个角落都有她的工人在传扬耶稣快要复临的好消息。[1]
证道和演讲-卷二-第1章
The inspired ministry of Ellen G. White is indissolubly linked with the rise and growth of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Through her writing and public speaking, this spirit-filled messenger of God rallied the dispirited believers after the Great Disappointment of 1844, gave them new hope, focused their attention on “present truth” In the bible, and called them to carry the three angels’ messages to the entire world. Her prophetic gift, coupled with her unwavering confidence in the Bible as the infallible test of both truth and experience, provided the bedrock foundation for a movement so small when it began that only God’s special providence could have made it what it is today—a world-wide church of millions, with workers in all corners of the globe proclaiming the good news that Jesus is coming soon.{2SAT 1.1}[1]

写作是怀爱伦的服务的一个重要部分。这位卓越的女性从少女时代便开始写出上帝放在她心中和在异象中指示她的信息。随着年龄的增长,她的作品提供了有关个人生活和教会发展几乎所有方面的劝勉。上帝向她启示了信徒个人和教会团体的需要,她就毫不犹豫地传达了上天的忠告和解决办法。只有一个完全相信自己蒙上帝呼召的人才会如此慷慨地把自己的光阴和力量花在亲手写出上帝所默示的信息这种辛苦的任务上。这些信息往往适时传达,保守教会不出轨。[2]

Writing was an essential element of Ellen White’s ministry. Beginning as a teen-ager, this remarkable woman wrote out the messages that God laid on her heart and showed to her in vision. As the years progressed, her writings provided counsel on almost every phase of personal life and church development. God revealed to her the needs both of people individually and of the church corporately, and she did not hesitate to communicate heaven’s advice and solutions. Only a person who believed totally in her divine call would have used her time and strength so unstintingly in the painstaking task of writing out by hand the inspired messages. Often these messages arrived at exactly the right time to keep the church from being drawn off course.{2SAT 1.2}[2]

然而写作只是怀爱伦预言职分的一个方面。怀夫人虽然没有受过任何正式训练,却成为当时代最有效能最有活力的公开演讲家之一。当有消息传来,她将在教会或世俗社交场合演讲时,人们便从远近各地云集而来。她完美地使用自己的声音,甚至离讲台最远的听众也能听到她的演讲。对于一般的听众,她常常宣讲节制的问题,但她的信息总是蕴含着“基督我们的义。”她喜爱讲论耶稣和祂无比的吸引力。[3]
证道和演讲-卷二-第1章
But writing was only one phase of Ellen White’s prophetic ministry. Without any formal training in public speaking, Mrs. White became one of the most effective and dynamic speakers of her time. When word was circulated that she would be the speaker at either church or secular events, crowds would gather from far and near. Using her voice perfectly, she would make herself heard even by listeners standing farthest from the platform. To general audiences she often spoke on the subject of temperance, but always her messages carried overtones of “Christ our righteousness.” She loved to talk about Jesus and His matchless charms.{2SAT 1.3}[3]

我们四年前出版了《证道和演讲》第一卷。读者的反应很热烈,所以我们现在出版第二卷。与卷一中的信息一样,本卷中的证道和演讲主要来自怀爱伦后半生的服务。这或许是因为她的信息在那段时期比早些年获得了更加忠实的记录。这些信息是速记下来予以报导的,因此阅读本书能使读者真实“感受”怀夫人的演讲。[4]
证道和演讲-卷二-第1章
Four years ago we published Volume 1 of Sermons and Talks.the response was so enthusiastic that we herewith offer volume 2. Like the messages in Volume 1, the sermons and talks in this volume are mostly from the latter half of Ellen White’s ministry. This may be attributed to the fact that her messages were more faithfully reported in that period than during the early years. These messages were stenographically reported, hence by reading this book a person receives the true “feel” of Mrs. White as a speaker.{2SAT 1.4}[4]

我们相信凡阅读本书信息的人会得到更深的属灵见识并与主有更亲密的交情。新的各卷《证道和演讲》将按照需求和时间允许出版发行。[5]
证道和演讲-卷二-第1章
