Top Highlights
“The God-driven church is one built by God Himself and, thus, is not a corporation, but a congregation, not a business, but a body, not a factory, but a family.” (Volume 3, Number 3, Page 67)
“There is indeed a chasm ‘between two worlds,’ which is traversed by application.” (Volume 3, Number 2, Page 76)
“Since its beginning, the church has struggled to ‘get it right’ when it comes to the ministry of the Holy Spirit. A. T. Robertson lamented in his time, ‘Today there are two extremes about spiritual gifts (cold indifference or wild excess).’11 Warren Wiersbe warns us, ‘The fire of the Spirit must not go out on the altar of our hearts.’12 The Spirit is a gift of God’s grace received at salvation. We are now His temple (1 Cor. 6:19–20). James 4:5 teaches that ‘The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously.’ In passionate response, we should long for Him, desiring His full and unhindered activity in our lives.” (Volume 3, Number 3, Page 83)
“Is he responsible only to explain the meaning of the text, or is he also responsible to show his hearers how the passage applies in their lives?” (Volume 3, Number 2, Page 68)
“For a lost person to say ‘thank you’ for everything is foolish. For the child of God to say ‘thank you’ in everything is faith.” (Volume 3, Number 3, Page 83)
