斯波尔丁和马根选集-第34章
向上帝的圣工定期捐献的义务和特权是我们的传道人决不应忽视的一个问题。上帝已呼吁他们要为灵魂警醒,好像将来交账的人。祂已委托他们将祂的信息传达给各教会。他们应该保证没有人对这个问题一无所知。他们应该设法使人们深感自己对上帝的倚靠,以及他们对祂所有利益的责任。{SpM 214.3}
斯波尔丁和马根选集-第34章
The duty and privilege of systematic giving to the cause of God is a matter that should by no means be neglected by our ministers. God has called them to watch for souls as they that must give an account. He has commissioned them to bear His message to the churches. They should see that none are left in ignorance concerning this subject. They should seek to impress the people with a sense of their entire dependence upon God, and their accountability to Him for all His benefits.{SpM 214.3}

关于十分之一的用法,上帝已有特别的指示给我们。祂并不希望祂的工作因缺乏经费而停顿。为免去工作上的任意性和错误,祂已把我们在这方面的责任说得十分明白。上帝所保留的一部分金钱,除了祂所指定的用途外,不可作为他用。无论何人,切莫以为可以随便扣留十分之一,照自己的判断而用,也不可用来解决自己的急需,或用在自己认为正当的事上;即使他们认为那是上帝的工作,也断乎不可。上帝已表示重看人,接纳他们在救赎的大工中与祂合作。祂希望祂的代表不要与祂作对,而要与祂完全一致,使祂的金库得到供给。{SpM 214.4}
斯波尔丁和马根选集-第34章
God has given special direction as to the use to which the tithe should be devoted. He does not design that His work shall be crippled for want of means. That there may be no haphazard work and no error, He has made our duty on all these points very plain. The portion that God has reserved for himself is not to be diverted to any other purpose than that which he has specified. Let none feel at liberty to retain their tithe, to use according to their own judgment, They are not to use it for themselves in an emergency, nor to apply it as they see fit, even in what they may regard as the Lord’s work. God has shown honor to men in taking them into partnership with himself in the great work of redemption. He expects His agents to labor not against Him, but in unison with Him, that His treasury may be supplied.{SpM 214.4}
斯波尔丁和马根选集-第34章
传道人应该在言语和行为上教导百姓把十分之一视为神圣。他不应该觉得因为自己是传道人,就可以把它留下而照自己的判断使用。这并不是他自己的。他无权从中抽取自己以为是该得的钱;也不得赞同任何将献给上帝的十分之一和捐款转离其正当用途的计划。十分之一和当献的供物必须存入上帝的库里,照祂所指定的,为祂的圣工而分别为圣。{SpM 214.5}
斯波尔丁和马根选集-第34章
The minister, should by precept and example, teach the people to regard the tithe as sacred. He should not feel that he can retain it and apply it to his own judgment, because he is a minister. It is not his. He is not at liberty to devote to himself whatever he thinks is his due. Let him not give his influence to any plans for diverting from their legitimate use the tithes and offerings dedicated to God. Let them be placed in the Lord’s treasury, and held sacred for his service as He has appointed.{SpM 214.5}
