“A word of warning, though. By itself, Bible study will not transform your life. It will not give you power, peace, joy, comfort, hope, and a number of other gifts God longs for you to unwrap and enjoy. Through Bible study, you will grow in your understanding of the Lord, His kingdom and your place in it, and those things are essential. But you need more. You need to rely on the Holy Spirit to guide your study and your application of the Bible’s truths. He, Jesus promised, was sent to teach us ‘all things’ (John 14:26; cf. 1 Cor. 2:13). So as you use this series to guide you through Scripture, bathe your study time in prayer, asking the Spirit of God to illuminate the text, enlighten your mind, humble your will, and comfort your heart. He will never let you down.” (source)

“‘Fallen Man’ is more than a theological premise. It is a state of being with eternal consequences. Every day, millions of people who have never heard the Gospel of Jesus are going to their graves. How accountable are we for not having reached them and how accountable are they before God, as Judge, having never heard? Will they go to heaven or hell?” (Page 16)

“To be evangelistic means that we issue an invitation, not practice coercion.” (Page 45)

“Jesus did not begin by telling the Samaritan woman she was a sinner and He alone could save her. Sometimes we let the pressure to witness build and then explode like a time bomb of scripture verses. He began with something she was obviously interested in and built a bridge for further communication. We have to win the right to be heard.” (Page 34)
