"If too much stress has not been made of the gifts of the Spirit, then too little has been said of the fruit of the Spirit." This is a line I read over and over again to understand, a piece of Leonard Ravenhill's articles. Ravenhill was a friend to A.W. Tozer, and a mentor to Keith Green, one of my heroes.
