“The fruits of the pastor’s labors are spiritual, for his work is to sow the seed of God’s Word. His members will receive spiritual fruits from his faithful preaching. However, as the pastor studies the Word and prepares a sermon or Bible study, he will reap a rich harvest of fruit for himself in spiritual growth, in a strengthened faith, and in comfort and joy through Christ. The sermon a pastor prepares for his people he first preaches to himself.” (Page 127)
“In today’s terms we could say that the pastor is not to be a womanizer.” (Page 50)
“She need not, however, feel deprived or inferior as man’s helper. Salvation is hers, living in the role God had assigned to her. Unique and special in that role is bearing children and the mothering that goes with it. Living according to her God-given role will not in any way deprive her of the salvation that we all have alone through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. A Christian woman will find genuine fulfillment as she conducts herself according to God’s plan.” (Page 45)
“According to God’s will, people are saved by coming ‘to a knowledge of the truth.’ No one ever came to saving faith through teachings that are contrary to the truth revealed in Holy Scripture. The church must know God’s saving gospel in all its truth and proclaim it faithfully into all the world.” (Page 36)
“Although Eve initiated the sin, God held Adam, whom he had created first as the head, responsible for the fall. There was a reversal of the roles God had given to each. Eve took the lead, and Adam followed.” (Page 43)
