Christ's human witnesses must learn to ground their hopes of success, not
on clever presentation of the truth by man, but on powerful demonstration
of the truth by the Spirit.--J.I. Packer
My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words,
but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not
reason on men's wisdom, but on God's power.--The Apostle Paul,
(I Corinthians 2:4-5)
Most of the Western Church today is a "power free" zone. Spiritual
impotence has become the acceptable, and even respectable, norm. The
question today is not, "Where is the Lord God of Elijah" (2 Kings 2:14),
but where are the Elijah's of the Lord God?--Chip Kirk
Our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with
the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction.--The Apostle Paul, I Thessalonians 1:5)
