The life of the Spirit surely finds even greater effectiveness as it dwells securely in the house of the intellect. With all that is within me, I state: If we would marry the power of the mind with the power of the Spirit, scholastic wit with heart-warming love, apologetics with the anointing, intellectual vigor with emotional vitality, and our contemplative capability with charismatic gifting, the positive impact that we could have on our culture and on the nations is beyond imagination! And we can rise to the occasion, for we, too, are a people of faith—"A City of Faith."
