Top Highlights

“Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly’ (v. 49).” (Page 443)

“We should not come to church to hear the pastor’s opinions about politics, psychology, economics, or even religion. We should come to hear a word from the Lord through the pastor. God’s Word edifies and unifies; human opinions confuse and divide.” (Page 55)

“The issue is: How far does Christian freedom go in regard to behavior not specifically forbidden in Scripture?” (Page 188)

“One can come to His table unworthily in many ways. It is common for people to participate in it ritualistically, without participating with their minds and hearts. They can go through the motions without going through any emotions, and treat it lightly rather than seriously. They can believe it imparts grace or merit, that the ceremony itself, rather than the sacrifice it represents, can save or keep one saved. Many come with a spirit of bitterness or hatred toward another believer, or come with a sin of which they will not repent. If a believer comes with anything less than the loftiest thoughts of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and anything less than total love for his brothers and sisters in Christ, he comes unworthily.” (Pages 273–274)

“The materials represent believers’ responses to what they have—how well they serve the Lord with what He has given them. In other words, they represent our works.” (Page 82)
