A.W. Tozer emphasizes the importance of silence and listening to God before speaking on His behalf. He reflects on how true understanding and revelation come from a quiet heart, as exemplified by David's experience of musing in silence before speaking. Tozer suggests that many Christians would benefit from taking time to be still and listen for God's voice, which can lead to profound spiritual healing and insight. He warns that a busy mouth often hinders the heart from receiving divine truth. Ultimately, he calls for a return to the practice of silence to deepen our relationship with God.

St. Augustine preaches about the fulfillment of God's promises through Jesus Christ, emphasizing the importance of faithfulness and trust in God's faithfulness. He highlights the need for believers to patiently wait for God's promises to be fulfilled, as God is a faithful Promiser and a faithful Paymaster. St. Augustine also discusses the concept of surrendering to God, acknowledging one's sins, and seeking God's mercy and salvation. He encourages believers to focus on the wonderful works of God, to seek after righteousness, and to trust in the Lord's guidance and salvation.

The preacher, focusing on the Greek word 'anakainizo' meaning 'to restore,' emphasizes the concept of bringing to conversion again and the impossibility of a second repentance according to Hebrews. This renewal, leading to becoming a 'brand new creation,' is a one-time miracle, highlighting the idea of regeneration in early Christian writings. The term 'anakainizo' is used in secular writing to signify renewing, giving new life, or restoring something already present, with a unique emphasis on a new and qualitatively different repentance.
