"The Salvation Army is a 'bottom of the barrel' Army. Whoever is so low ast to be rejected or forgotten is automatically within our circle of concern." (Ted Palmer)
"Men forget God the Holy Spirit not because He has ceased to exist; rather, they have lowered their eyes and so grope through the fog of their own futile industries." (Peter W. Stine)

"Those in whom the Spirit comes alive are God's new Temple. They are, individually and corporately, places where heaven and earth meet." (N. T. Wright)
