——Paul Washer

“The Christian life doesn’t not begin with what you do but with what you don’t do.”
“基督徒的生活不是從你做什麼開始，而是從你不做什麼開始。”

“To receive and follow the Gospel call is to reject all that can be seen with the eye and held in the hand and exchange it for what cannot be seen.”
“接受並跟隨福音的呼召，就是拒絕一切肉眼所見的和抓住不放的，來換取那眼不能見的。”

——John MacArthur

“Being filled by the Spirit, being controlled by the Spirit, dominated by the Spirit, is the same as letting the word of Christ dominate you, the word and the Spirit being the same. The word reflects the will of the Spirit, so if you want to walk by the Spirit, then you walk according to Scripture, according to what the Word of God teaches. You ask yourself why there’s so little interest in sanctification today? It’s directly parallel to little interest in the Scripture.

“Why there are so many people who fall in ugly and gross sin at all levels of the life of the church? It is because they do not know what they need to know to follow the mind of the Holy Spirit; they’re untaught. It is no favor done to people to preach nothing but simplistic evangelistic sermons, culturally based to try to attract non-believers week after week, year after year, and leave everybody sitting in there who’s come to Christ starving for spiritual truth and not knowing enough to win the battle that’s going on inside.”

“被聖靈充滿、被聖靈掌管、被聖靈支配，都等於讓基督的道來主導你，道與靈是合一；這道表明了聖靈的心意。因此，如果你想順着聖靈而行，那你就按照聖經、按照神話語所教導的而行。你問自己為什麼今天人們對成聖如此不感興趣？這與對聖經缺乏興趣直接相關。

“為什麼有這麼多人在教會生活的各個層面都陷入醜陋和嚴重的罪中？這是因為他們不知道他們需要知道什麼來隨從聖靈的心意——他們沒有受過教導。只傳講簡單化的福音佈道對人們沒有任何好處，以文化為中心去吸引非信徒，周復一周、年復一年，卻讓那些來到基督面前、渴望屬靈真理，卻不知如何贏得內心爭戰的人坐在那裡。”

“有時候你帶着問題來教會，你只要把道聽清楚的那個時候，其實你發現，你走出去的時候那個問題已經不是問題了。你裡面的 (問題) 大過你外面的 (問題)。你天天憂愁的那個東西，你一直看、越看問題越大、越看越沮喪。你 (真正) 的問題不是那個 (外面的) 問題本身造成的，是你心中沒有神的道、你不信神的道，你把這地上至暫至輕的東西看成好像是一切，然後沒有喜樂，天天在私慾裡面被捆綁。各位，這個的光景裡面你要被主的道釋放，這是重要的。神的道有能力。”
