Top Highlights

“The difficulty in local churches today is not the keeping back of part of the proceeds of a sale of property, it is the holding back of part of ourselves.” (Page 116)

“My definition of simony is the desire to have the Life Christ promises without the surrender of all of life to Him who said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life’ (John 14:6).” (Page 155)

“The final quality, I believe, was the natural outgrowth of that praise. People were attracted to their joy and wanted to know the source of it. Evangelism was not based on elaborate handbooks or slick brochures. People wanted to be with those contagious, praising Christians and have what the Spirit had given them.” (Page 73)

“The third thing we discover about authentic evangelism is to start where people are in relationship to Christ and not where they should be.” (Page 159)

“Oswald Chambers puts this into perspective. We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God can do and that God will not do what we can do.” (Page 38)
