「我相信聖經是上帝給人最好的禮物。」－亞伯拉罕·林肯
“I believe the Bible is the best gift God has given to man.” – Abraham Lincoln

「列國以及世人的責任就是依靠神的統治和權力，就是謙卑痛悔地承認自己的罪，並盼望真正的悔改會帶來神的憐憫和饒恕。列國以及世人的責任就是認識被歷史證明的聖經，並認識在聖經中的崇高真理，那就是：只有那些以神為主的國家才會有祝福！」－亞伯拉罕·林肯

“Whereas, it is the duty of nations as well as of men to owe their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history: that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord.” -Abraham Lincoln

「若沒有純正福音和復興，世界和其中的罪人會持續選擇金錢、性、名譽、派對、名車、別墅過於神和耶穌基督。」－馬強盛／顏美娟夫婦
“Without the pure gospel and revival, the world and its sinners will continue to choose money, sex, fame, parties, cars, and mansions over God and Jesus Christ.” －Johnson and Pearl

「復興的教會是垂死世界的唯一希望。」－慕安得烈(Andrew Murray)
“A revived church is the only hope for a dying world.”

「若沒有真正的復興，教會的影響力會低於電視、電影和學校。」－馬強盛／顏美娟夫婦

Without revival, the church will have less influence on the world than TV, movies, and schools.

路24:49 我(Jesus)要將我父所應許的降在你們身上，你們要在城裏等候，直到你們領受從上頭來的能力。」

「現今教會和世界所需要的就是復興，而復興就是神想要給我們的。祂沒有不願意把天打開，並賜給我們從主面前來的安舒日子。－約拿單．愛德華滋(Jonathan Edwards)

Revival, then, is what the church and the world needs. And revival is just what God wants to give. He is not unwilling to open the heavens and send us ‘times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord.’ -Jonathan Edwards

徒3:19 「所以，你們當悔改得救be converted，使你們的罪得以塗抹，這樣那安舒、復興的日子就必從主的同在面前來到。」(徒3:19；聖經原文直譯)
