The Spirit of God
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Noticing a growth of materialism, spurred by the writings of Darwin, Huxley, and others, Morgan wisely saw the reactionary movement of attempting to discover the spiritual world through new-age philosophies as equally harmful. Recognizing that the answer to both of these movements lies in studying the truth of who God is, Morgan embarks on an analytical dissertation of the Holy Spirit in The Spirit of God.

“There is one sure and infallible guide to truth, and therefore one, and only one, corrective for error, and that is the Word of God.” (Page 18)
“The devil has two methods of procedure with regard to the living truth of God. First, he seeks to hide the vision. When that is no longer possible, when truth with its inherent brilliance and beauty is driving away the mists, then the devil’s procedure is that of patronage and falsification. Taking it out of its true proportion, he turns it into deadly error.” (Pages 15–16)
“Not that it is possible to perfectly understand the personality of the Spirit or His relation to the Trinity. These things are beyond the complete comprehension of minds that are finite. They must be accepted as declarations of a Divine revelation, the final explanation being impossible.” (Page 23)
“the testimony! if they speak not according to this word, surely there is no morning for them” (Page 19)
“the devil immediately adopted, adapted, and misapplied it.” (Page 16)
