  1. “Stanford is convinced that the weakness experienced by the church today, whether individually or corporately, as well as throughout its history, is primarily due to its ignorance of the truths pertaining to the deeper life. Most Christians settle for far less than the best after wearying but fruitless struggles with the flesh. Because they rely on their own strength, which is hopeless thing to do, they never make any significant progress toward true spirituality.” Introduction; pg. ix

  8. Love Does Not Rejoice in Iniquity 1 Thess 5:21-23 “Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil. Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Eph 5:1-5 “Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.”
