Top Highlights
“Jeremiah had the level of prophetic farsightedness that God intended him to have, and the prophet trusted God with any future that he (Jeremiah) was not privileged to foresee. In so doing, he set an example for us. We practice farsightedness when we believe the New Testament’s statements about our future. Such farsightedness reveals itself in behavior when we surrender temporary things to gain that which is eternal.” (Page 31)
“Such gifts are endowments by the Holy Spirit to followers of Christ. Through such gifts the Spirit empowers believers to fulfill their mission of Matthew 28:19, 20. Paul does not distinguish the Spirit’s gifts from our natural abilities. All human abilities are gifts of God. For the Christian, old abilities are dedicated to Christ and directed by the Holy Spirit, while the Spirit imparts new abilities or enables Christians to discover abilities that they did not recognize before.” (Page 307)
“Jeremiah had a message from God that King Zedekiah didn’t like. The king reacted by imprisoning the messenger. But God’s Word cannot be silenced. As God’s messengers today, which do we fear more: an evil culture’s reaction to us because of our message, or God’s displeasure for failing to deliver that message?” (Page 29)
“When we pray the way Jesus is teaching, we are making a commitment to be a guardian of God’s holiness among men and women, a commitment to not misuse God’s holy name.” (Page 156)
“There was nothing accidental or incidental about Jesus’ mission; he was sent to save. Nothing is more important or central than that for John.” (Page 283)
