Key Statements

“Grace that doesn’t lead to holiness is not grace at all, but a twisted perversion of licentiousness.”

“To quench [The Holy Spirit] is to deny his power: to live as though God is incapable [of caring for you] and taking matters into your own hands.”

“To grieve [The Holy Spirit] is to reject his character; to live as though I am incapable of becoming any different than I am.”

“You are chosen, transformed royalty, with power and authority from God on high, who calls you his own, for his purpose: to be the love of God to all!”
