Bruising is needed so that reeds may know they are reeds, not oaks. Reeds need to be bruised because of the pride in our nature, the removal of which lets us live by mercy and faith. It is a difficult thing to bring a dull heart to cry for mercy. Our hearts, like malefactors, until they are beaten from all sides, never naturally cry for mercy from the Judge. But this bruising makes us set a high price upon Christ. It makes us more thankful and more fruitful in our lives.Whatever claim sin has on a man, bruising or breaking is the end of it. This spark of hope, being opposed by doubts and fears arising from the corruption of sin, makes him as smoking flax. Thus, both these together, a bruised reed and smoking flax, make up the state of a poor, distressed man. Our Savior terms such a one as poor in spirit.Christ will not break the bruised reed or quench the smoking flax. Though physicians put their patients through much pain, they will not destroy their patients' bodies but will do their best to heal them. Surgeons will cut, but not dismember. A mother will not cast away a sick or disobedient child. Shall we think there is more mercy in ourselves than in God, who plants the affection of mercy in us? To further declare Christ's mercy to all bruised reeds, consider the comforting relationship He has taken upon Himself of husband, shepherd, and brother, which He will discharge to the utmost.It cannot but cheer the heart of the church to consider, despite all the infirmities and miseries she is subject to, that she has a Bridegroom with a kind disposition. He knows how to give the honor of kindness to the weaker vessel and will be so far from rejecting her because she is weak that He will pity her all the more. He is kind at all times and will speak to her heart, especially when in the wilderness.

圣经是神的话语吗？这个问题对于人类来说是最重要的问题。如果圣经是神的话语，如果它是绝对值得信赖的神自己的启示：有关祂自己，祂的旨意，祂的意愿，人的责任和命运，以及灵命和永恒的现实，那么我们就有一个起点；从这个起点我们就能继续征服整个宗教真理领域。这本书将显明圣经的绝对真理性。跟随神的道，它将引领你，如同它曾引领了成千上万的人一样。它将引导你走出因不信带来的迷惑茫然、挣扎不安和最终的绝望，进入因着有智慧的信仰--圣经是神的话语以及耶稣基督是神的儿子--而带来的确信、喜乐、胜利和最终的荣耀。

Yo soy la luz del mundo; el que me sigue no andará en tinieblas, sino que tendrá la luz de la vida. - Juan 8:12El cristiano debiera comprometerse con Cristo de forma tan completa como para que sea definitiva. Ya no vivirá mirando hacia atrás para ver si hay algo mejor. No volverá a pasar por esa experiencia.Un libro breve pero inspirador, sobre cómo seguir a Cristo de todo corazón.

我们生活在一个动荡和危险的时代。很长时间以来，就如今日这样，我们的这个世界上有这么多造成人们恐惧和不安的观念和事件。然而，无论如何，有一件事是很清楚的，那就是基督徒有责任比以往要更殷勤地考察圣经的预言。不要像在基督第一次降临时的那些犹太人，虽然神的手和祂的旨意正成就在世上所发生的事上，他们却完全视而不见。相反，让我们记得，预言的话语被赐下是如同灯照在暗处......直等到天发亮、晨星在你们心里出现的时候（彼后1：19）。让我们在那光中行走。让我们考察，就是考察在他们心里基督的灵，预先证明基督受苦难、后来得荣耀是指着什么时候，并怎样的时候（彼前1：11）。让我们对已经应验的预言和尚未应验的预言加以比较，并尝试用一个来说明另一个。而首先，让我们在结局到来，时间不复存在之前，对我们在教会内和在世界上应当预期的事有一个清晰的认识。

How much religion among many members of churches consists of nothing but church rituals! They belong to their church. They are baptized, married, buried in at the church, and preached to on Sundays by her ministers, but the great doctrines of truth have no place in their hearts and only a little influence on their lives. Is the religion of these people real Christianity? No, it is Churchianity - and nothing more!If your religion is real and has been given by the Holy Spirit, it must be in your heart. It must sway the affections. It must lead the will. It must direct the tastes. It must influence the choices and decisions. It must fill the deepest, lowest, inmost seat in your soul. Is this your Christianity?Real Christianity will cause a person to glory in Christ as the Redeemer, the Deliverer, the Priest, and the Friend - without whom he would have no hope at all. It will produce confidence in Him, love toward Him, delight in Him, and comfort in Him as the Mediator, the Food, the Light, the Life, and the Peace of the soul. This Christianity will produce in the person who has it repentance, faith, hope, love, humility, spirituality, kindness, self-denial, unselfishness, forgiveness, temperance, truthfulness, brotherly kindness, patience, and forbearance. Is this your religion?

我的王我的神啊，求你垂聽我呼求的聲音，因為我向你祈禱。--《詩篇》五章2節這是一本詳盡研討禱告這個主題的書，它以豐富的例子向讀者闡明--作爲正確的祈禱--所必不可少的九個要素。這九個要素分別如下：1. 仰慕--我們不能從開始就跟神處在同樣的位置。我們必須將神當作我們無法觸及或無法看見的那樣來敬慕。2. 懺悔--必須把罪抛棄。如果我們中間存在著任何不順服，我們就不能與神有任何交通。3. 補償--只要有可能，我們必須彌補我們所犯的錯誤。4. 感恩--我們必須滿心感謝神已經為我們所成就的。5. 饒恕--我們必須饒恕別人，將苦毒連根拔掉，免得滋長。6. 合一--彼此相愛方能使禱告有力量。7. 信心--當接受並實踐前面的要素后，就必然產生向神禱告的信心。8. 祈求--當其他要素起了作用后，我們就可以直接向神祈求，或懇求。我們的禱告應當有更多的祈求。9. 順服--滿足所有這些要素之后，一定是順服。我們一邊禱告，一邊就要準備接受神的旨意。德懷特-慕迪在本書中詳細闡述了這九個要素，并且用許多實例和故事，來證實他所說的，同時也有助於書中的真理在讀者心中得以銘記。

Las personas se obsesionan con la vida; nadie quiere morir. De hecho, le tenemos terror a la muerte.Casi todos conocemos este dicho: "Solo se vive una vez". Pero tenemos que formularnos la pregunta más importante: ¿Qué sucede con nosotros después de que morimos?Para la mayoría, la muerte es un gran misterio o tema de gran negación. Sin embargo, hay un hecho real que sigue allí: todos moriremos. ¿Qué pasaría si esta vida no es la única? ¿Qué, si en verdad hay vida después de la muerte? Y si es así, ¿quién puede decirnos lo que pasa después de que morimos? Por su experiencia de primera mano en el Cielo y su conocimiento del futuro, Jesús puede hacerlo. Él nos presenta tres verdades básicas sobre el tema de la vida después de la muerte:1. Hay vida después de la muerte.2. Hay dos destinos entre los cuales todos tenemos que elegir.3. Hay una forma de asegurarte de elegir bien.Ahora mismo tal vez estés muriendo de sed, pero no tienes por qué hacerlo. Del mismo modo, quizá el pecado te abrume, pero no tienes por qué morir en tus pecados. Hay algo que puedes hacer ahora mismo, para asegurar que cuando mueras tengas vida eterna y felicidad.Lo más importante que tienes que hacer en esta ida es asegurarte de no morir en tus pecados.Porque Dios no envió a su Hijo al mundo para juzgar al mundo, sino para que el mundo sea salvo por Él - Juan 3:17

這是和你，讀者，心貼心的對話。在這裡檢驗並一個個地解決了每一個藉口，理由，和對你來就近耶穌可能的障礙。如果你覺得你這個人很糟糕，或者你也許真的很糟糕而且你公開或隱秘地在罪中，你將發現，基督裡的生命也是為你的。你可以拒絕得救因著信的信息，或者你可以選擇在宣告了對基督的信仰之後卻仍然過一個罪中的生活，但是你卻不能為了你或為了他人來改變這個真理本身。因此，你和你的家庭應當來擁抱這個真理，佔有它，並真正在今日也在永恆中得自由。來吧，接受這個神白白賜予的禮物，為了他而過一個得勝的生活。

我眼要看國中的誠實人，叫他們與我同住；行為完全的，他要伺候我。--《詩篇 》一百零一章6節假如你希望知道如何過上一個敬虔的生活，你會往何處尋找答案？難道，還有比聖經中的人物更好的範例？我們的主，以祂超越一切的智慧，給我們留下了一本奇妙的經典範本--《聖經》。然而，有些人卻犯了錯，將聖經裡這些信心的偉人當作偶像來敬拜。另有一些人，卻採取另一個極端，過分強調這些人物的軟弱之處。神的意圖，則介於這兩端之間：唯有當我們將心擺正，我們才能從這些聖經人物身上，學到所有有關健康、豐富充實的基督徒生活。聖經人物 目錄亞伯拉罕 - 信心和順服摩西 - 神的呼喊乃縵 - 神的方法尼希米 - 堅定不移的異象希律和施洗約翰 - 罪的處理瞎子和亞利馬太的約瑟 - 勇氣懺悔的強盜 - 為時不晚

敬畏耶和華心存謙卑，就得富有、尊榮、生命為賞賜。--《 箴言》第二十二章4節當時機成熟時，神必將高舉我們。我們用不著自我宣揚；我們不必費力爭位。讓神把我們安置在祂要我們所在的地方，而我們只要誠信於神。對人而言，與神和好，在神眼裡看為義，實為最佳出路，即使他在世上沒有地位。神若願意，祂必高舉誠實謙卑的人。這本書詳細描繪了但以理如何做事明辨是非，因此得到神，甚至世上君王的青睞。世界歷史上，很少有人能與但以理媲比，儘管所有的人都可以貫徹落實但以理遵行的原則。請問，你是否準備就緒，立志成為一名如但以理那樣真實偉大的人，一位備受神和人關注的人？

唯愿耶和华的百姓都受感说话，愿耶和华把他的灵降在他们身上！（民11：15）现今的教会，一切都安排得井然有序。音乐完美无瑕，证道预备完善、演讲精彩，教堂内外精心装饰，细心维护。人们来去积极准时。然而，教会却缺少了一个基本要素。教会轻视了个人的需要--既真实的为基督而活；其结果是，只要极少数人能看到自己的生命影响世界。德怀特-慕迪(Dwight L. Moody) 将我们带入圣经深处，清楚地展现给我们：怎样行才是为基督而活。每个基督徒的呼召，是要成为基督身体积极活跃的成员。每个基督徒活着的唯一目的，是爱神，爱我们的邻舍。如果真是这样，其结果将是天下全地，无论天涯海角，男女老少，定将获得普世的救恩。

不要愛世界和世界上的事。人若愛世界，愛父的心就不在他裡面了。（約壹 2：15）你是一名得勝者？或者，你很容易被雜七雜八的罪所捆綁？更糟糕的是，你是否正偏離基督徒的成聖道路，但卻拒絕承認並糾正？沒有一個基督徒可以拒絕呼召成為得勝者。世上的代價微乎其微，而永恆的獎賞是無法估量的。德懷特-慕迪(Dwight L. Moody) 是發掘我們問題的大師。他擅長用故事和幽默來揭示，作為成功的基督徒，什麼是其生活的基本原則。在得勝的方方面面，慕迪都是從實際的、容易理解的角度來解析。針對我們的問題，慕迪所提出的解決方案不是宗教、規則或其他外在的修正。相反，他把我們帶到問題的核心，即我們的內心，並且將聖經、神所賜的救藥來醫治每個基督徒的生命。讓我們做好準備，來迎接、擁抱今天的真正勝利和永恆的喜樂。

Your "turning" or "conversion" is only a beginning, and no more. It is not the whole journey; it is merely the first step. You are a disciple, that is, one who is under teaching; but your teaching, your discipleship, has only just begun. Your life is a book; it may be a bigger or smaller volume, but conversion is only the title page or the preface. The book itself remains to be written, and your years, weeks, and days are its chapters, pages, and lines. It is a book written for eternity; make sure that it is written well. It is a book for the inspection of enemies as well as friends; be careful of every word. It is a book written under the eye of God; let it be done reverently, not frivolously, but also without constraint or terror.For encouragement and help on this journey, please join me in diving into what the Bible says about fruitful Christian living. Make sure you start well, continue well, and end well. The Lord has ensured that you have all the instructions you'll need, if only you take the time to learn and apply them.List of Chapters:Ch. 1: Keep Your Eyes on JesusCh. 2: Keep Your Conscience CleanCh. 3: Hold Tightly to What You Have ReceivedCh. 4: Deal Honestly with YourselfCh. 5: Keep Company with God and with the People of GodCh. 6: Study the BibleCh. 7: Watch Your StepsCh. 8: Put Away Vanity and the Love of PraiseCh. 9: Watch Against SatanCh. 10: Beware of One-Sided TruthCh. 11: Do Something for GodCh. 12: Live with Anticipation for Christ's Return

La Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días (mormona) tiene 90.000 misioneros en el campo, tratando de convertir a los miembros de las iglesias cristianas. Debido a que las lecciones que estos misioneros enseñan representan las afirmaciones centrales del mormonismo, este libro interactúa con esas lecciones desde una perspectiva bíblica. Escrito y editado por ex mormones que ahora son cristianos, incluye información privilegiada, historias personales, conocimientos culturales, sabiduría evangelística y las mejores prácticas de los propios ex misioneros SUD, para ayudar a los cristianos a fortalecer su propia fe mientras aprenden cómo compartir su fe sabia y eficazmente con los Santos de los Últimos Días.

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats. (Matthew 25:32)Volume 10A deep, inspiring, and often challenging study of the Lord Jesus Christ's miracles and parables.Men who were led by the hand or groped their way along the wall to reach Jesus were touched by his finger and went home without a guide, rejoicing that Jesus Christ had opened their eyes. Jesus is still able to perform such miracles. And, with the power of the Holy Spirit, his Word will be expounded and we'll watch for the signs to follow, expecting to see them at once. Why shouldn't those who read this be blessed with the light of heaven? This is my heart's inmost desire.I can't put fine words together. I've never studied speech. In fact, my heart loathes the very thought of intentionally speaking with fine words when souls are in danger of eternal punishment. No, I work to speak straight to your hearts and consciences, and if there is anyone with faith to receive, God will bless them with fresh revelation.- Charles H. SpurgeonIn this tenth volume, Charles H. Spurgeon expounds on small and large debts forgiven, the parable of the good Samaritan, the parable of the unfruitful fig tree, the parable of the wedding feast, excuses, counting the cost, the parable of the lost silver coin, the parable of the prodigal son, what it means to truly confess and repent of our sins.List of ChaptersBankrupt Debtors Discharged (Luke 7:42)Love's Competition (Luke 7:42-43)The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37)Good News for You (Luke 10:33)Judgment Threatening but Mercy Sparing (Luke 13:7-8)This Year Too (Luke 13:8)All Things Are Ready.

El Cielo ¿es una realidad para nosotros? ¿O nos sigue pareciendo lejano e incierto?El objetivo de este libro es motivarnos a que busquemos el Cielo. Al leer las Escrituras con atención encontramos que el Cielo es lo que anhela todo creyente nacido de nuevo. Nuestro tiempo en la Tierra no es más que algo temporario, y el Cielo es el verdadero hogar de todos los hijos de Dios. Al estudiar y conocer más del Cielo, eso cambia nuestra forma de ver cada día e incluso, el modo en que vemos a quienes nos rodean. Aunque esta vida es real, se nos asegura que el Cielo es real también. Si bien no debemos dejar de lado los deberes que Dios nos ha dado aquí, al mismo tiempo tenemos que prepararnos para nuestro hogar futuro, y hasta anhelar con ansias nuestro hogar eterno.

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it." (Matthew 13:45-46)Volume 9A deep, inspiring, and often challenging study of the Lord Jesus Christ's miracles and parables.Men who were led by the hand or groped their way along the wall to reach Jesus were touched by his finger and went home without a guide, rejoicing that Jesus Christ had opened their eyes. Jesus is still able to perform such miracles. And, with the power of the Holy Spirit, his Word will be expounded and we'll watch for the signs to follow, expecting to see them at once.

No, I work to speak straight to your hearts and consciences, and if there is anyone with faith to receive, God will bless them with fresh revelation.- Charles H. SpurgeonIn this ninth volume, Charles H. Spurgeon expounds on the pearl of great price, the parable of the vineyard workers, the first and the last, the parable of the wedding feast, the parable of the talents, the parable of the sower, the blind leading the blind, the separating of the goats and the sheep, and he includes a message for nominal believers.List of ChaptersA Great Bargain (Matthew 13:45-46)Early and Late (Matthew 20:1, 3, 5-6)The First Last, and the Last First (Matthew 19:30)A Message to Nominal Followers of Religion (Matthew 21:28-32)Work for Jesus (Matthew 21:28)The Parable of the Wedding Feast (Matthew 22:2-4)Making Light of Christ (Matthew 22:5)The Wedding Was Furnished with Guests (Matthew 22:10)What Is the Wedding Garment?

The Inspiring Life and Legacy of William Borden, a Man of Unwavering Faith and Profound ImpactWilliam Borden was extraordinary in almost every sense. Born into wealth and privilege, he could have chosen to live a life of luxury and ease. Instead, he surrendered it all for a life of service to Christ. "Borden of Yale" is the riveting account of a man who exemplified what it means to be fully committed to God.Raised in Moody Church in Chicago and educated at both Yale and Princeton, Borden first felt the missionary call during a round-the-world journey gifted to him by his parents at the age of sixteen. The following year, he received a distinct call to dedicate his life to serving the Muslims of China, a decision that shaped everything he did from that point forward.Though a scholar in his own right, Borden's theological insights were not merely intellectual pursuits; they were living beliefs that propelled him into action. From leading Bible studies in dorms and founding the Yale Hope Mission to serving as a director at the National Bible Institute and spearheading evangelistic efforts that impacted the entire city of Cairo, Borden was unwavering in his commitment to share the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.As promising as his life appeared, Borden passed away in Egypt while en route to serve the Muslims in China. Thousands mourned, contemplating what might have been. Yet countless others have been inspired to follow in his footsteps to the mission field.William Borden was a visionary, a trailblazer, and an inspiration for all who seek to follow Jesus Christ. This is not just a book; it's an invitation to reevaluate what truly matters and to live wholeheartedly for the Lord.

Every Christian ought to be a soul-winner. Regardless of your occupation, your primary business is to win souls. Failing to do so means not only failure in this life but also regret and remorse in the life to come.The world has always been willing to listen to a man with a real message from heaven. As Christians, we possess the greatest news ever told. Upon becoming a Christian, one should realize that, armed with the Gospel, he has more to offer the world than the whole world has to offer in return.To be effective in personal evangelism, study human tendencies and the best ways to approach your fellow man. Study the Bible and learn how to apply its principles. Above all, uplift Christ, confident in the absolute assurance that the Holy Spirit will bless your efforts each time you speak for Christ. "My word will not return to Me void."This book is designed to help those who wish to share the gospel with others but have limited experience and would welcome guidance and practical tips from a fellow laborer.

Quien no toma en cuenta la segunda venida de Cristo tiene solamente un evangelio mutilado, porque la Biblia nos enseña no solo sobre la muerte y sufrimientos de Cristo, sino también sobre Su retorno para reinar en honor y gloria. Se menciona y se hace referencia a Su segunda venida más de trescientas veces. Casi no hay iglesias que no pongan gran énfasis en el bautismo, pero en todas las epístolas de Pablo el bautismo aparece solamente trece veces, en tanto que cincuenta veces nos habla del regreso de nuestro Señor; y sin embargo la Iglesia poco tiene para decir sobre ello. El diablo no quiere que veamos esta verdad, porque no hay nada que pudiera despertar de tal modo a la Iglesia.En el momento en que una persona reconoce que Jesucristo volverá para recibir para Sí a Sus seguidores, este mundo ya deja de resultarle tan relevante. Los precios del gas, las innovaciones tecnológicas, y el mercado de la Bolsa, ya dejan de ser importantes. Porque su corazón es libre y busca la bendita aparición de Su Señor, que a Su venida le llevará a Su bendito reino. ¿Estás velando y preparado para el regreso de Cristo, que viene a buscar a Su esposa? ¿Te ocupas de la obra que Él te ha dado para cumplir en Su reino, aquí en la tierra, de modo que puedas tener tu recompensa cuando Él venga?

Repentance is not optional. It is not left to our choice whether or not we will repent, but it is an indispensable command. God has enacted a law in the High Court of heaven that no sinner will be saved except the repenting sinner, and he will not break his own law. No one can willfully continue in sin and expect to be covered by the blood of Christ. Even if all the angels stood before God and begged for the life of an unrepenting person, God would not grant it. The Lord God, compassionate and merciful, . . . who keeps faithfulness for thousands, . . . will by no means leave the guilty unpunished (Exodus 34:6-7). Though God is more full of mercy than the sun is of light, still He will not forgive a sinner who willfully continues to sin.We have, by sin, wronged God. We have eclipsed his honor. We have infringed upon his law, and we should, reasonably, repent of our old ways. By repentance, we humble and judge ourselves for sin. We agree that God would be righteous if he destroyed us, and so we give glory to God and do what we can to repair his honor.Dying to sin is the life of repentance. The very day a Christian turns from sin, he must require of himself a perpetual fast. The eye must fast from impure glances. The ear must fast from listening to slander. The tongue must fast from cursing. The hands must fast from bribes. The feet must fast from unclean paths. And the soul must fast from the love of wickedness. This turning away from sin implies a noticeable change in the lives of those who truly follow Christ.Therefore let us, while we are on this side of the grave, make our peace with God!

Most people want to live forever. They desire long, healthy, fulfilling lives. But God has a bigger, better plan, though it comes at a cost. There is a training process that we need to go through. More than that, a complete change of heart is needed - we must be born again. And to follow Christ, our will must be submitted to His will, and our lives must be filled with His Spirit. There is only one way to eternal life.The Apostle Peter signed up for a life like that. He left his career, his family, and whatever meager enjoyments he might have had to follow a humble, nondescript Teacher named Jesus. During those three years of training, Peter was taught by the Master. Some of those lessons were not easy at all; yet Peter was given grace in the eyes of the Lord, and when he fell, the Lord forgave him, strengthened him, and kept him to the end.What about you? Do you need courage, strengthening, and training? In this book, J. Wilbur Chapman admonishes, teaches, and encourages. Chapman's love for the Lord and for His people shines clearly in his messages. He expounds on Scripture, relates real-life stories, and tells us about the only way to be saved - and how we may experience the fullness of life in Christ.

Listening is often hard to do, especially when you want to do something that you should not. Danny and Rick witness to Ken Meyer about accepting Jesus as his Savior, but Ken doesn't listen. He says he has plenty of time to do that later. Ken finds himself in trouble again and again because of his stubborn rebellion. A dog nearly drowns in icy water; a fishing boat almost sinks, and Ken runs his boat into a dock. Ken doesn't have "plenty of time later" to make things right with Jesus. Instead, his careless ways catch up with him, and tragedy strikes.

这是和你，读者，心贴心的对话。在这里检验并一个个地解决了每一个借口，理由，和对你来就近耶稣可能的障碍。如果你觉得你这个人很糟糕，或者你也许真的很糟糕而且你公开或隐秘地在罪中，你将发现，基督里的生命也是为你的。你可以拒绝得救因着信的信息，或者你可以选择在宣告了对基督的信仰之后却仍然过一个罪中的生活，但是你却不能为了你或为了他人来改变这个真理本身。因此，你和你的家庭应当来拥抱这个真理，占有它，并真正在今日也在永恒中得自由。来吧，接受这个神白白赐予的礼物，为了他而过一个得胜的生活。

Here in this book, you have a godly person's portrait, and you see him portrayed in his full qualities and features. What a rare thing godliness is! Godliness is a ray and beam that shines from God. If God is true, then godliness is true. Genuine godliness is not light and fluffy, but it is solid and will engage the heart and spirit.Christian, aspire after piety; it is a lawful ambition. Look at the saints' characteristics here, and never stop until you have got those same characteristics stamped upon your own soul.

不要自欺，神是輕慢不得的。人種的是什麼，收的也是什麼。順著情慾撒種的，必從情慾收敗壞；順著聖靈撒種的，必從聖靈收永生。--《加拉太書》六章7-8節 我們無法逃脫種因得果的自然法則。我們若播下良種就預期必有豐盛的收穫。反之亦然，若播下稗子，收割的除了稗子還是稗子。這一法則同樣應用于我們的靈命和實踐。如果我們希望得到天國的獎賞，我們就必須為基督而活。反之，若我們說謊、欺騙、咒詛、偷竊、醉酒、嗑藥，或者縱情取樂，事實是，無論現在或永恆，我們都將付出極大的代價。無論現今社會怎樣不遺餘力地説服我們并非如此，這一法則已驗證千真萬確，無懈可擊。

The contented heart is never out of heart. Contentment is a golden shield that beats back discouragement. True contentment will trust God even when it cannot see Him. Why are you discontented? Is it because you are temporarily dispossessed of comforts? You who are discontented because you do not have all you would like to have, let me tell you, either your faith is a nonentity, or, at best, it is just an embryo. It is a weak faith that must have stilts and crutches to support it. Discontent is not only below faith, but it is also below reason. Discontent is unworthy of the relationship we have with God. Christians are invested with the title and privilege of sonship; we are heirs of the promise.
