Though we claim to believe the whole of Scripture, in practice we frequently deny much of it by ignoring it.

We must cease to think of the church as a gathering of institutions and organizations, and we must get back to the notion that we are the people of God.

First of all, the evangelical is one who is entirely subservient to the Bible. This is true of every evangelical. He is a man of one book; he starts with it; he submits himself to it; this is his authority.

Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself?

You must go on to remind yourself of God - who God is, and what God is, and what God has done, and what God has pledged Himself to do.

The gospel is not something partial or piecemeal: it takes in the whole life, the whole of history, the whole world. It tells us about creation and the final judgment and everything in between.

We all tend to go to extremes; some rely only on their own preparation and look for nothing more; others, as I say, tend to despise preparation and trust to the unction, the anointing and the inspiration of the Spirit alone. But there must be no "either/or" here; it is always "both/and." These two things must go together.
