Though nowadays we hear of persons being healed before they have been
wounded, and brought into a certainty of justification without ever having
lamented their condemnation, we are very dubious as to the value of such
healings and justifyings. This style of things is not according to the
truth. God never clothes men until He has first stripped them, nor does He
quicken them by the gospel till first they are slain by the law. CHS “The
Soul-Winner” pg 25
"The Christian cannot forever be defensively constructing atomistic answers to the endless variety of unbelieving criticisms; he must take the offensive and show the unbeliever that he has no intelligible place to stand, no consistent epistemology, no justification for meaningful discourse, predication, or argumentation. The pseudo-wisdom of the world must be reduced to foolishness—in which case none of the unbeliever’s criticisms have any force."
