"In some ways, it's those of us who are most familiar with the Spirit's promises who are in the greatest danger.

Something like this is true about the rich texts and glory-filled promises that drop the jaws or widen the eyes of newcomers but provoke no more than a raised eyebrow in the old-timers who have ceased to dream."
