I AM THAT I AMI AM THAT I AM
I believe there is scarcely an error in doctrine or a failure in applying Christian ethics that
cannot be traced finally to imperfect and ignoble thoughts
about God.
The first step down for any church is taken when it
surrenders its high opinion of God.

There is today no lack of Bible teachers to set forth correctly the principles of the doctrines of Christ, but too many of these seem satisfied to teach the fundamentals of the faith year after year, strangely unaware that there is in their ministry no manifest Presence, nor anything unusual in their personal lives. They minister constantly to believers who feel within their breasts a longing which their teaching simply does not satisfy.
