“the church has become so worldly that it has lost its power” (Volume 11, Number 4, Page 71)
“If, by quoting verse 1, Jesus had in mind the entire Psalm, then we see how it points not only to his desertion by God but his subsequent deliverance in the resurrection too. Jesus’ words, then, would not only have been the genuinely anguished cry of an abandoned Son but the genuinely hopeful cry of a trusting Son.” (Volume 11, Number 2, Page 54)
“If we do not believe in the power of the Spirit, and if we do not understand regeneration, we will continue to employ manipulative, coercive methods that result in so-called conversions which do not bear the fruits of regeneration. These methods reflect an implicit rejection of the sufficiency of Scripture and the power of the Spirit. If we do not believe in the sufficiency of Scripture, we will preach our own ideas rather than the Bible, and we will ‘do what works’ even if it goes against what the Bible says.” (Volume 11, Number 4, Page 75)
“She is a group of regenerated believers in Jesus who have entered into a solemn covenant with the Lord and one another to pursue holiness of life and proclaim the gospel.” (Volume 11, Number 4, Page 79)
“Once the church lost its own purity, it began to look more and more like the world it sought to transform” (Volume 11, Number 4, Page 72)
