Here's an excerpt from the book "Power From On High":
"Our method in proclaiming salvation is this: To point out to every heart the Loving Lamb, who died for us and although He was the Son of God offered Himself for our sins, as his God, his Mediator between God and man, his throne of grace, his example, his brother, his preacher of the law, his comforter, his confessor, his Saviour, in short, his all in all; by the preaching of His blood, and of His love unto death even the death of the cross; never, either in the discourse or in the argument, to digress even for a quarter of an hour from the Loving Lamb; to name no virtue except in Him, and from Him and on His account; to preach no commandment except faith in Him; no other justification but that He atoned for us; no other sanctification but to be near Him, to think of Him and do His pleasure; no other self-denial but to be deprived of Hom and His blessings; no other calamity but to displease Him; no other life but in Him."
This is so powerful... A declaration of the life lived as a witness of God.
Does my life reflect such a desire to make Christ known - ONLY Christ?!
Stiving to Live Determined, Deliberate, & Devoted...

Hi, I'd like to have a more specific reference for this wonderful quote...author of the book and page number please...whenever you can.
From Googling I came across a book of the same name by John Greenfield, the same?
BTW...I found your blog through a Twitter search on the words "cross" and "theology" combined.
