“You cannot hear a book; you can only read it. Faith does not come by reading; faith comes by hearing! For hearing to occur there must be a voice. Without something said there is no hearing.” (Page 29)
“The Bible is the Word of God (as it refers to the Word of God) only when the Holy Spirit who inspired it enlivens it. Only then does it have life and power. Until then it is document; document is letter, and letter kills. This is the reason why in the Western world, where so much Bible is preached, there is so much spiritual death. Emphatically, this condition is not the Bible’s fault but the failure of humankind to depend upon the Holy Spirit.” (Page 29)
“Three great miracles: the first, inspiration, has to do with the Bible’s supernatural origination; the second, preservation, has to do with its supernatural continuation; and the third, illumination, has to do with its supernatural explanation.” (Page 11)
“The source of all power is the Word of God. He created everything by His own Word” (Page 5)
“Through the world and always near the church flow two mighty rivers—the Spirit and the Word. One (the Spirit) empowers the other (the Word); the other (the Word) provides the channel for the flow of the one (the Spirit). They are both necessary, each complimentary to the other and mutually dependent. One (the Spirit) is the source; the other (the Word) is the course. The flow of each is vital but incomplete without the other.” (Page 178)
