Too often, Christians wait for an extraordinary display of the Spirit to correct all their spiritual ills. Although such revival is possible, it is not the way God normally grows His Church.
In The Essential Means of Grace , Paul Washer examines the three fundamental gifts that God gives believers for their spiritual growth: the scriptures, prayer, and participation in the life and ministry of the local church. Our desire for an extraordinary experience should never lead us to neglect the ordinary means that God gives us for our sanctification. Rather, let us dedicate ourselves to these ordinary means of grace, and depend on the Spirit so that we may become like and useful to Christ in extraordinary ways.
