The Spirit lives within us for our sake, but he is poured out upon us for the sake of others, many of whom do not yet know him.

The baptism in the Spirit is as fundamental to the Gospel message as the new birth, the risen Christ's lordship, the Second Coming, and the last judgment.

I define sonship as the impartation through the new birth of all the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of being a child of God.

The reason some people do not fully accept justification is that it seems too good to be true.

God issues three basic calls to his people, each of which resonates deeply in the hearts of those who love him. Each is tied firmly to God’s eternal purpose to glorify his Son, and each is a doorway into joy and fulfillment in life.

When the Lord reaffirmed that he would be with Gideon, he revealed the key to living the faith life – God is always with us.

As the baptizer in the Holy Spirit, Jesus takes his place as the Lord of the Harvest. The baptism in the Spirit is a gift he gives to his people to equip and empower them to be his witnesses.

The world system does not object very much to our believing that Jesus is our "personal savior," but it will resist any claims that he is lord over all creation.

What a relief when we stop trying to measure our standing with God and fully accept what Christ has done for us!

Christ’s victory must be enforced by his representatives who carry his authority and are empowered by God’s Spirit.
