There are so many lean Christians who devour hundreds of sermons!
有太多瘦弱的基督徒吞食着数百篇讲道！
(Edmund Calamy, 1600–1666)
(埃德蒙·卡拉米，1600-1666)
“His delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night.” Psalm 1:2
“他的喜悦在耶和华的律法中，他昼夜思想他的律法。”诗篇1:2
“I meditate on Your precepts and consider Your ways.” Psalm 119:15
“我要默想你的训词，看重你的道路。”诗篇119:15
It is not merely hearing a sermon that does you good, but meditating on what you hear. So when you hear a sermon, if you do not meditate and ponder upon what you hear, you will never get any good.
仅仅听道并不能使你获益，而是要默想你所听到的。因此当你听道时，如果你不默想和思考你所听到的，你永远不会得到任何益处。
There are so many lean Christians who devour hundreds of sermons-and are never any better, never any fatter in grace. They never meditate, ponder and consider what they hear-that is the reason why they are so lean in grace.
有太多瘦弱的基督徒吞食着数百篇讲道-却从未有所进步，在恩典中从未丰盈。他们从不默想、思考和考虑所听到的-这就是为什么他们在恩典中如此贫乏的原因。
Pray unto God to enlighten your understandings, to quicken your devotion, to warm your affections-that by meditation on holy things . . .
向神祷告，求祂开启你的悟性，激发你的虔诚，温暖你的情感-通过对圣事的默想…
you may be made more holy,
你可以变得更加圣洁，
you may have your lusts more mortified,
你的情欲可以更多地治死，
you may have your graces more increased,
你的恩典可以更多地增长，
you may better behold the vanity of the world,
你可以更好地看清世界的虚空，
you may lifted up to Heaven and eternal realities.
你可以被提升到天堂和永恒的实际。
“Meditate upon these things.” 1 Timothy 4:15
“要默想这些事。”提摩太前书4:15
