“Nothing that happens can ever justify your withdrawing from your brother. No offense that he would commit against you dare result in your committing an even greater sin against Christ by breaking the unity of the Body. No matter what anyone does to you, it is not enough to warrant your breaking the fellowship and the unity of the faith. Have a conscience toward that and realize that offense starts when you put up walls against someone who has sinned against you. You are committing a greater sin, because maybe he did not really want to break fellowship with you. Maybe he was overtaken in his own feelings and emotions. Maybe he still wanted to love you, but you withdrew. That cannot be!” (Page 4)
“We do not want the legal structure to be in conflict with the spiritual structure under any circumstance” (Page 130)
“Divine order is something that must be tried and it must be proven. Be prepared for all submission, but don’t be a fool. Be submissive to what God establishes, to what God says you are to be submissive to. And you are not being rebellious if you wait before God before entering into that submission. Once it is confirmed to your heart, enter into it; and from that time on, let there be no question in your mind whatsoever.” (Page 126)
“If we can keep down suspicions and divisions by communicating freely one with another, this walk will never go into a denomination, but neither will it disintegrate into independent churches going off, each doing their own thing.” (Page 127)
“called by God. God blessed you. He has invested His thought for eternity in you. He gave His only begotten Son to redeem” (Page 143)
