珍貴的片刻


 

序言

 

在四十年代,教會正面臨時代環境急促的變遷,福音的信息傳遍各地,聖靈的能力深入人心,許多人蒙恩得救,不少信徒大得復興,對主的話語十分渴慕。那是最受歡迎的屬靈書籍是講道集及靈修書。這三十多年來,講道集逐漸被研經書籍取代,但是靈修文萃仍是信徒愛讀而且也是必讀的書。

 

許多英文的靈修書中,我最喜歡的是邁爾(F.B.Meyer的著作:Our Daily Homily,現已更名為Great Verses Through the Bible,由 Zonderven出版,作者從聖經中按卷按的選出一節經文,敘述屬靈的教訓要義,文句簡短雋永,我們可用很短的時間,汲取生命的甘泉,本書可作個人靈修以及家庭禮拜之用。作者在原序中見證,這部著作是集他屬靈思想的精華。此書對譯者個人靈修的助益很大,因此決意譯出,造福華人教會眾肢體。

 

在譯述的過程中,我發現有些內容並不適合現代讀者,內中提及的名字未必是我們一般華人信徒所熟知的,所以覺得有編輯的必要,在文體詞句方面,有些直譯反而難懂,所以不得不加以增刪。因此名之為「編譯」較為恰當,但是主要的思想輿論仍是作者的。有些短文為求明晰加上分段的標題,這些都需要向讀者交代。

 

本書定命為「珍貴的片刻」,用意是鼓勵讀者珍惜零碎片段的時光,讀靈修的短文,多有屬靈的意念,如果讀者每日循序逐章讀經,再細讀思想本書所取的那節經文,必獲益良深。求主施恩於使用本書!

 About the Author:  The ministry of Dr. F.B. Meyer was one of the most widely influential in the twentieth century. He had memorable pastorates in York, Leicester and London, which were sufficient of themselves to establish his lasting fame. But his influence was worldwide. Like John Wesley, he was an incessant traveller. Everywhere his intimate and memorable presentation of the Gospel brought blessing to multitudes. His biographer, Dr. W.Y. Fullerton, has described Meyer as “one of the greatest heralds of the faith delivered to the saints”. His outstanding gifts as preacher, expositor, pastor and administrator were all subordinated to his supreme aim—to win men and women to Christ, and to lead believers into closer fellowship with Him.
