All prophecy is based on a revelation from God, but always operates at a lower level of authority than that of inspired Scripture.

God loves to glorify himself by suspending his gifts and blessings on our asking him for them. We should never presume to receive from God apart from prayer what he's clearly told us in Scripture will be ours only through prayer.

Grace ceases to be grace if God is compelled to bestow it in the presence of human merit.

Spiritual gifts, to put it as simply as I know how, are the more or less concrete and tangible ways in which the Holy Spirit manifests his presence in and through the individual members of the church.

Self-image, the concept we have of ourselves, must begin not by looking in the mirror but by looking into the face of God.

God is able to cause all things people do to us, even the bad things, to work together for our good (Rom. 8:28). That isn't to say that all things are good, but that God can orchestrate the evil into a symphony of glory.

Whatever and whenever God blesses, Satan curses. What God creates, Satan counterfeits.
