In arriving at a decision in a question of doubt, the apostles in the Acts were guided solely by their sense of the Spirit behind the action, not by any speculations as to consequences which might ensue. And so they found the truth.

There are no clear boundary lines between what is physiological, what is psychological, and what is spiritual. Those are language domains that make sense and have integrity but overlap significantly.

Remember, we are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Where God's Spirit does not reign, there is no humility, and men ever swell with inward pride.

In the heart of man, there is a constant conflict between the flesh and the spirit.

It is time for us to seek again the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Man's lordship has cost us too much.

Let no man pretend to fear sin that does not fear temptation also! These two are too closely united to be separated. He does not truly hate the fruit who delights in the root.

Whatever else you fail of, do not fail of the influence of the Holy Spirit; that is the only way you can handle the consciences of men.

Believers have both the authority to do God's will because of their position in Christ, and the power to do God's will as long as they walk by the Spirit.

They are in opposition because the Holy Spirit, like Jesus, will not operate independently of our heavenly Father, but the flesh does. The flesh may be defined as existence apart from God—a life dominated by sin or a drive opposed to God. The flesh is self-reliant rather than God-dependent; it is self-centered rather than Christ-centered.

In our natural state, we are glorious beings. In the world of illusion, we are lost and imprisoned, slaves to our appetites and our will to false power.
