63 " They did not come to the Lord and try to make terms, but they came to the Lord and actively took Him on His terms. "
64 " Just to have heard a man preach truth from "
65 " sanctified life is a life conformed to the Scriptures in every particular. It commences with our hearts; it next reaches to our ears, and then it is accomplished in our feet. "
66 " the Bible does not necessarily mean that you have been enlightened. "
67 " No one could doubt the intellectual brilliance of Franklin and certainly Whitefield preached the whole truth; yet nothing came of it. Why? The only answer is that Franklin had light without sight. He never saw the Light of the World…. The gospel is light but only the Spirit can give sight. BAM062-063 "
68 " Men and women need to be told that it may be fatal to silence the inner voice. "
69 " True faith is not believing in words merely, even divine words, but believing ON the Lord Jesus Christ. CTBC, Vol. 1/079 "
70 " [W]hen we fail to hear His voice, it is not because He is not speaking so much as that we are not listening "
71 " If we ever again impress unsaved men with a wholesome fear of the supernatural we must have once more the dignity of the Holy Spirit; we must know again that awe-inspiring mystery which comes upon men and churches when they are full of the power of God. "
72 " The final test of love is obedience. Not sweet emotions, not willingness to sacrifice, not zeal, but obedience to the commandments of Christ. Our Lord drew a line plain and tight for everyone to see. "
73 " The Holy Spirit is pure, for He is the Holy Spirit. He is wise, for He is the Spirit of wisdom. He is true, for He is the Spirit of truth. He is like Jesus, for He is the Spirit of Christ. He is like the Father, for He is the Spirit of the Father. He wants to be Lord of your life. "

80 " The message of the cross offers eternal life and the blessedness of the Holy Spirit indwelling the soul. These distinguish Christianity from every other religion; and it is significant that these distinguishing marks are of such a nature as to be wholly above and beyond the reach of man. "
