...because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts
by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans 5:5
"The Christian servant must never forget that
--salvation is God’s idea,
--not man’s;
therefore, it has an unfathomable depth.
Experience is simply the door through which salvation comes into
the conscious level of our life so that we are aware of what has taken place on a much deeper level.
Never preach the experience— preach the great thought of God behind the experience.
In the teachings of Jesus Christ the element of judgment is always brought out— it is the sign of the love of God.
Every element of our own self-reliance must be put to death by the power of God. The moment we recognize our complete weakness and our dependence upon Him will be the very moment that the Spirit of God will exhibit His power."
