“Two things are essential in this world—life, and friendship. Both must be prized highly, and not undervalued. They are nature’s gifts. We were created by God that we might live; but if we are not to live solitarily, we must have friendship. Augustine”

“Churches gather in order to know God and to be in his presence. And nowhere does the Bible say that we should seek or expect to know God through ecstatic visions, impressions on the soul, a prophetic word, or dreams. God may sovereignly choose to use such methods of communication from time to time. But the normal way that God speaks to show us what he’s done, what he’s like, and what he wants from us is through his Word. And God’s church comes into contact with his Word through reading it, preaching it, and hearing it.”
