清教徒 Richard Steele (1629-1692)

“無論是多麼虔誠的藉口、多麼美觀的前景、或多麼巨大的壓力，不要被這些理由說服你去擾亂公眾的安寧、羞辱你的政府、或從事任何不合法的計劃… 讓神獨自統治這世界；讓合法的地方官長獨自治理祂的人民；而你要做的是樂意地服從或平靜地受苦。「你們若為基督的名受辱罵，便是有福的，因為神榮耀的靈常住在你們身上。 你們中間卻不可有人因為殺人、偷竊、作惡、好管閒事而受苦。」（彼前4:14-15）”

Paul Washer – Prayer (Matthew 6:9-11)

• Christianity is much more than doctrine, but it’s not less than doctrine, but it’s more than doctrine. It is a relationship with God. 
• A praying man is a useful man.
• All praying is based upon our knowledge of who God is.
• You must have a prayer life that is be based upon the knowledge of God: who is God, what are the works of God, and how does God work.
• Walk with God on your knees.
• Know God relationally in prayer.
• Spend the most of time on your knees cultivate a life of prayer.
• Prayer makes a man to be able to speak God’s Word with authority.
• The reverence before God and the boldness before God go hand in hand.
• One of the most powerful prayer is looking up to God and saying “You know.”
• Every trial is to show you your inability and to blow you back to the Great Source of all strength.
• Read the Bible and develop a biblical mind. Think as God thinks and pray as God wills.
• In the Lord’s Prayer, we see the heart of Jesus Christ.
• The only way that you should come out of a pulpit satisfied is because of that sermon the name of God was made greater.
• Expository preaching is a means for God to be glorified.
• If God not be glorified, you cannot be satisfied.
• Once a while we should preach on the streets.
• It takes lots more than loving people for you (to preach on streets). It’s going to take this: His name must be hallowed here (it needs the loving of God).
• The loving to God is the attitude that makes hell tremble.
• If you want the name of God to be hallowed, you are going to spend a lifetime fighting, and those battles are carried out on your knees.
• God’s name is going to be hallowed through our proclamation, and our proclamation is given wings on our prayers.
• Waiting on God is not doing nothing, but running to the throne of God.
• We do not wrestle with Goliath; we wrestle with God.
• We do it by proclamation of the Word of God and copious, ongoing, enduring, preserving, believing prayer.
• I will not let you go until you have fulfilled your promises.
