God speaks in the language you know best - not through your ears, but through your circumstances.

The Spirit is the first power we practically experience, but the last power we come to understand.

The Sermon on the Mount is not a set of principles to be obeyed apart from identification with Jesus Christ. The Sermon on the Mount is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is getting his way with us.
