All knowledge is the outgrowth of obedience; everything else is just information.

Grace means that God does something for me; law means that I do something for God. God has certain holy and righteous demands which he places upon me: that is law.

The system of fathers of the world church, the clergy system of the state church, and the pastoral system of the independent churches are all the same in nature. They are all Nicolaitans. In the Bible there are only brothers. There is the gift of a pastor, but no system of pastors. The pastoral system is man's tradition. If the children of God are not willing to return to the position of that in the beginning, no matter what they do, it will not be right.
