今日的生活-第330章
“有施散的,却更增添;有吝惜过度的,反致穷乏。好施舍的,必得丰裕;滋润人的,必得滋润”(箴11:24,25)。{ML 333.1}[1]
今日的生活-第330章
I Too May Conquer
There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. The liberal soul shall be made fat; and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.Proverbs 11:24, 25.{ML 333.1}[1]

使人享有财富的乃是上帝。祂这样行,目的是要使他们能帮助推进祂的圣工。祂赐下阳光,降下甘霖,使五谷菜蔬生长。祂又赐人健康和生财的能力。我们一切的福惠都是由上帝博施之手而来的。因此祂希望我们缴纳什一并奉献各种捐款,如感恩捐,乐意捐,赎罪捐等,将财物的一部分奉还给祂,藉以表示我们的感恩。人若履行上帝所定的计划——缴纳收益的十分之一,及各项乐意捐——就必有充足的款项来推进圣工了。{ML 333.2}[2]
今日的生活-第330章
It is God who blesses men with property, and He does this that they may be able to give toward the advancement of His cause. He sends the sunshine and the rain. He causes vegetation to flourish. He gives health and the ability to acquire means. All our blessings come from His bountiful hand. In turn, He would have men and women show their gratitude by returning Him a portion in tithes and offerings—in thank offerings, in freewill offerings, in trespass offerings. Should means flow into the treasury in accordance with this divinely appointed plan—a tenth of all the increase, and liberal offerings—there would be an abundance for the advancement of the Lord’s work.{ML 333.2}[2]
今日的生活-第330章
可惜人们往往像亚拿尼亚和撒非喇一样,因自私之念而心地渐渐刚硬,以致利欲熏心,扣留应献与上帝之捐款的一部分,同时还假装依照祂的命令行事。许多人在自私的放纵上浪用金钱。他们所顾念的乃是自己的享乐,一心要满足自己的嗜好,同时以微薄的捐款献给上帝,而且他们奉献时还有一点舍不得呢。他们竟忘记上帝有一天会严正地要他们为祂所赐的财物作交代。(AA 75){ML 333.3}[3]
今日的生活-第330章
But the hearts of men become hardened through selfishness, and like Ananias and Sapphira, they are tempted to withhold part of the price, while pretending to fulfill God’s requirements. Many spend money lavishly in self-gratification. Men and women consult their pleasure and gratify their taste, while they bring to God, almost unwillingly, a stinted offering. They forget that God will one day demand a strict account of how His goods have been used.59{ML 333.3}[3]
今日的生活-第330章
经常舍己捐献是上帝对自私与贪心之腐蚀性罪恶的疗法。上帝已安排了定期捐献来维持祂的圣工,救济受苦和贫穷之人的需要。祂已命定奉献要成为习惯,以便抵消贪心这种危险且欺人的罪。经常的奉献会使贪心饿死。……祂要我们不住地实行仁爱,养成行善的习惯,以便这种习惯的力量打破相反习惯的力量。(3T 548){ML 333.4}[4]
今日的生活-第330章
Constant, self-denying benevolence is God’s remedy for the cankering sins of selfishness and covetousness. God has arranged systematic benevolence to sustain His cause and relieve the necessities of the suffering and needy. He has ordained that giving should become a habit, that it may counteract the dangerous and deceitful sin of covetousness. Continual giving starves covetousness to death.... He requires the constant exercise of benevolence, that the force of habit in good works may break the force of habit in an opposite direction.60{ML 333.4}[4]
