In His book Spiritual Disciplines by Donald Whitney says, “In my own pastoral and personal Christian experience, I can say that I’ve never known a man or woman who came to spiritual maturity except through discipline. Godliness comes through discipline.”
“There is strong emphasis in the New Testament on the unity of the church. Jesus’ goal is that “there shall be one flock, one Sheperd” (John 10:16), and he prays for all future believers “that they may all be one” (John 17:21).” -Wayne Grudem
“Following a failed attempt to boil John alive, Domitian (DOUGH-MISH-IN) banished John to the Rocky, Barren, seemingly godforsaken island of Patmos. And it is here on Patmos that John was given the revelation of Jesus Christ.” -Jon Courson
“The book of revelation, instead of being a hopeless jumble of symbolic vision, is a carefully written record of what John saw and heard, with frequent explanations of its theological and practical meanings.” -John Walvoord
“At the very beginning of this book, Jesus presented himself to his people in majestic glory. What the church needs today is a new awareness of Christ and his glory. We need to see him ‘high and lifted up’ (Isa 6:1)” -Warren Wiersbe
