Have Faith in God

Christ not only taught that we should have faith in God, but also that we shall receive from God what our faith grasps.

The Power of the Gospel*

The gospel is more than good news, more than what we call the gospel story, more than a statement of truth, more, even, than a plan of salvation. It is the power of God unto salvation.

The Holy Spirit and Human Effort

We have no new ideas nor methods to make soul winning more successful than in the apostles' day.
