"The Spirit led the first christians to do unexplainable things, to live lives that didn't make sense to the culture around the, and ultimately, to spared the story of God's grace around the world."
"...without Him (the Holy Spirit), people operate in their own strength and only accomplish human-sized results."
"...i believe that the Spirit is more obviously active in places where people are desperate for Him, humbled before Him and not distracted by their pursuit of wealth or comforts."
"if the Holy Spirit moves, nothing can stop Him. If He doesn't move we will not produce genuine fruit no matter how much effort or money we expend."
"...regularly fellowship over what He's doing rather than what He did months or years ago."
"...the truth and necessity of a life wholly surrendered to and dependent upon the Holy Spirit..."
"...i want to see God move through me."
"...live exegetically...start with Scripture and allow it to dictate our actions...."
these are from the introduction to Francis Chan's book "Forgotten God"...I'm excited to see what the rest of the book holds...
