“First, they are charged with ingratitude as God recounts all that He has done” (Page 100)
“There is an additional factor in verse 14, for God knows the power He will grant. When He conscripts, He enables. When He sends, He equips. That’s why it would be sheer stupidity to call ourselves into God’s service, or to venture out into the spiritual battle without His clear commissioning.” (Page 103)
“At present, just like us, Gideon is busy limiting God’s future by his own past.” (Page 102)
“Whatever our past or present experience, the moment of change always comes at the point where we are prepared to stop fighting God and to start trusting Him, to stop going it alone and start giving it to God, to determine never to go back to Moab with its pseudosatisfaction, but to bring our emptiness to God and move forward into the unknown, with all its problems, with Him. That is when the clouds begin to lift.” (Pages 315–316)
“We cannot point the finger of accusation at Israel when we know our own depravity.” (Page 97)
