1997 by jim cymbala
a review in quotes
"God can't resist those who humbly and honestly admit how desperately they need him. Our weakness, in fact, makes room for his power." 19
"Jesus called fisherman, not graduates of rabbinical schools." 20
"God has always despised sham and pretense, especially in the pulpit." 20
"The more we pray, the more we sense our need to pray. And the more we sense a need to pray, the more we want to pray." 50
"Wether we call ourselves classical evangelicals, traditionalists, fundamentalists, pentecostals, or charismatics, we all have to face our lack of real power and call out for a fresh infilling of the Spirit. We need the fresh wind of God to awaken us from our lethargy. We must not hide any longer behind some theological argument. The days are too dark and dangerous." 97
"Attendance, buildings, and cash. A-B-C: The new holy trinity." 121
"In too many churches today, people don't see manifestations of God's power in answer to fervent praying. Instead, they hear arguments about theological issues that few people care about." 139
"The idea that a church could be called just to serve yuppies or some other designated class is not found in the New Testament." 140
"If we do not yearn and pray and expect God to stretch his hand and do the supernatural, it will not happen." 145
"Without an anointing and prophetic edge to declare something fresh from God's word, church life can be reduced to little more than a lecture series." 148
