约翰一书 2:15

不要爱世界和世界上的事。人若爱世界，爱父的心就不在他里面了。
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

“What’s the world? Everything in this fallen age that contradicts the attributes and will of God. Everything that does not come forth from God and goes back to God in worship, that’s the world.” — Paul Washer

以赛亚书 Isaiah 66:2

耶和华说：“这一切都是我手所造的，所以就都有了。但我所看顾的就是虚心、痛悔、因我话而战兢的人。”

“For My hand made all these things, Thus all these things came into being,” declares the LORD, “But to this one I will look, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.”

“Do you tremble at His Word, or do you look for loopholes around it?” — Paul Washer

from ESV Reformation Study Bible Notes 2015

“Prayer is a means God uses to bring His sovereign will to pass.”

“He invites us to come boldly before Him, but never arrogantly.”

“The faith we bring to prayer must include a trust that God is able to hear our prayers and that He is disposed to answer them.”

《路加福音 11:5-8》

       耶稣说：“你们中间谁有一个朋友半夜到他那里去，说：‘朋友，请借给我三个饼，因为我有一个朋友行路，来到我这里，我没有什么给他摆上。’ 那人在里面回答说：‘不要搅扰我，门已经关闭，孩子们也同我在床上了，我不能起来给你。’ 我告诉你们：虽不因他是朋友起来给他，但因他情词迫切地直求，就必起来照他所需用的给他。 ”
