Missionary zeal does not grow out of intellectual beliefs, nor out of theological arguments, but out of love. If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him.

  • -- Roland Allen 罗兰亚伦

传教士的热情不是来自知识的信仰,也不是来自神学的争论,而是来自爱。如果我不爱一个人,我就不会被他需要帮助的证据所打动;如果我真的爱他,我不会等待任何特别需要我帮助他的证据。
