새 설교 (18)

I commend to you the reading of biographies of men who have been used by God in the Church throughout the centuries, especially in revival. And you will find this same holy boldness.

Revival, 197

데이비드 마틴 로이드존스

For it is unbecoming in inferiors to assume boldness of speech.

Aeschylus

Boldness at the throne of grace is not presumption. Confidence is not cheek.

The Unsearchable Riches of Christ, 113

데이비드 마틴 로이드존스

If we are to have boldness, we must be clean from wrath, that none may impute our words to that. No matter how just your words may be, when you speak with anger, you ruin all.

존 크리소스톰

That’s why calling God ‘Father’ is the great act of faith, of holy boldness, of risk. Saying ‘our father’ isn’t just the boldness, the sheer cheek, of walking into the presence of the living and almighty God and saying ‘Hi, Dad.’ It is the boldness, the sheer total risk, of saying quietly ‘Please may I, too, be considered an apprentice son.’ It means signing on for the Kingdom of God.

N. T. 라이트 (N. T. Wright)

A decent boldness ever meets with friends.

Book vii. Line 67.

알렉산더 포프 (Alexander Pope)

The name of Jesus is a never-failing passport to our prayers. In that name a man may draw near to God with boldness, and ask with confidence. God has engaged to hear him.

J. C. 라일

Oh, let me use the term, there is a holy boldness. This is the great characteristic of all prayers that have ever prevailed. It is, of course, inevitable.

Revival, 195

데이비드 마틴 로이드존스

For necessity is of mighty power; and every man, when his whole fortune is at stake, is inspired with a boldness which nature had previously denied him.

Dionysius of Halicarnassus

Such boldness is a divine gift, not a moral virtue to be acquired by repeated exercise. Christians who have been bold in one context can easily be intimidated in another, unless they seek God’s enabling.

David G. Peterson

The response of the apostles to persecution is prayer, not for relief or deliverance from persecution but for boldness and power to continue to proclaim the word even in the midst of such adversity.
