Ern Baxter on Spiritual Gifts in Proper Place

"I hope the Church doesn't make the same mistake that for over 50 years I have observed again and again and that is to make the supernatural manifestations an end in themselves.

When Jesus performed miracles, it was in view of getting the attention of the people so that He could say the things His Father sent Him to say. So many times we preach healing and people are helped and touched and healed but we don't take advantage of the platform that it provides for us to say what God really wants said".
