I am persuaded that in our day there is just as big a battle being fought by the enemy against the saints coming to the full knowledge of Christ as ever there was against people coming to any knowledge of Christ at all. If there have been battles, and the enemy has put forth his power to hinder the Gospel reaching certain territory, he is doing the same with intense activity against those who have received the Gospel coming into the fulness of the Gospel.
Do you want to know the excellency of Christ? You will have to come one step further than consecrated common sense. What is that? The absolute Lordship of Christ to dictate everything, even if that means contradicting your best and most sanctified human judgment.
