Satan's first strategy is to keep religion intellectual.

In the times of darkness, the Glory will stand out even more.

From the first Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit has proven that He will only come to the degree that we have unity.

We can build influence by self promotion, but God will only promote those who do not promote themselves. That which is built on self-promotion will have to be maintained by human striving. Those who allow God to build the house have taken a yoke that is easy and a burden that is light.
