“To mock, deride, and scorn God, his people, and his word, surely represents something very radical.” (Volume 1, Page 22)
“His mission on which He was sent by the Father and Son is to glorify Christ by perpetuating His character, establishing His Kingdom and accomplishing His redeeming purpose in the world. Since the Church is the Body of Christ, and the Spirit is the Spirit of Christ, He—the Holy Spirit—fills the Body, directs its movements, controls its members, inspires its wisdom, supplies its strength. The Spirit guides it into the truth, sanctifies its agents and empowers, calls, distributes, controls, guides, inspires, strengthens them for witness. Thus the work of the Church is to ‘minister in the Spirit,’ to speak His message, and transmit His power.” (Volume 1, Page 12)
“The church that is man-managed instead of Spirit-governed is doomed to spiritual failure. A ministry that is theologically trained but not Spirit-filled works no miracles. It is possible to excel in mechanics and fail in dynamic. The root-trouble of the present distress is that the Church has more faith in the world and her own personal efforts than in the power of the Spirit.” (Volume 1, Pages 12–13)
“we may observe that to walk ‘… in the counsel of the ungodly,’ means to give attentive ear to earth-bound philosophies.” (Volume 1, Page 22)
“the insidiousness of evil. Infection begins gradually, but spreads swiftly” (Volume 1, Page 22)
