“[If] in our faith we do not feel and own a power infinitely greater than any of the historic or cosmic forces of the time, our religion has but a limited future, and every effort we make to organize it into line with the powers which we secretly and practically call most effective, is bound to end in deep disappointment. We need organization, but it is very far from being the thing we most need, or need most immediately. From the New Testament point of view the seat of chief power and authority in the universe is the cross of resurrection of Jesus Christ.” (Forsyth, The Power of the Resurrection)
I hear/read PT Forsyth quoted more and more often....

Jill,
He is worth the read. He is complex, but accessible, I think. I enjoy his work very much.
Thanks for stopping by.
