“the function of the Spirit is to lead us into all truth. Now, truth is a Person and that Person is Jesus. Thus, at a deeper level, the Advocate works both in and for us, bringing us into recognition of our essential Christ-union.”
― Paul Anderson-Walsh, Grace for Grown Ups: Until Christ is Formed book two

“The truth is that God has appointed each member in the body as He wills. As you grow in intimacy with God, your passions will emerge. But don’t assume that the passion God gives you is the passion God expects of everyone. God has gifted you and appointed you as He sees fit for the purpose of edifying the body. Your calling (and my calling) is not to heap guilt upon those who do not experience what we are experiencing, but to edify the body in love as God gives us the opportunity.”
― Eddie Snipes, The Victorious Christian Life: Living in Grace and Walking in the Spirit

“What’s critical to understand is that you have access to that same eternal life-giving Spirit that powered Jesus. The words and actions of Jesus were originating from the same source. That same authority from which Jesus spoke and acted is in us.”
― Jim Palmer, Inner Anarchy: Dethroning God and Jesus to Save Ourselves and the World

“Christ’s church is composed of people. These people are very much alive. We do well to view ourselves as what we are—a people. Instead of thinking in terms of static things such as buildings or institutions, we more accurately and beneficially think of Christ’s body as a thriving, growing mass of humanity that loves Jesus.”
― Eric Carpenter, Simple Church: Unity Within Diversity
