Top Highlights

“The baptism with the Spirit grants the power that the filling with the Spirit unleashes.” (Volume 1, Page 42)

“To the apostles, who were no doubt fired with enthusiasm and eager to begin, that must have seemed a strange command. Yet, it illustrates an important point: All the preparation and training that knowledge and experience can bring are useless without the proper might. Power had to accompany truth.” (Volume 1, Pages 16–17)

“The Bible does not envision the Christian life as one lived apart from other believers. All members of the universal church, the body of Christ, are to be actively and intimately involved in local assemblies.” (Volume 1, Page 84)

“Rather than engage in useless speculation over the time for the coming of the kingdom, the apostles were to focus on the work at hand. Witnesses are those who see something and tell others about it.” (Volume 1, Page 21)

“The missionary team’s experience illustrates a basic principle of knowing God’s will: to move ahead and allow Him to close doors until the right opportunity is reached.” (Volume 2, Page 86)
