J.O. Peck emphasizes the importance of the Church relying on divine power rather than machinery, drawing from the examples of Jesus and the early Christians who operated with minimal means but maximum power. Christ's ministry and teachings reveal that the key to success in spreading the Gospel lies in being empowered by the Holy Spirit. Throughout history, periods of maximum spiritual power in the Church have been marked by a minimum of machinery, as seen in genuine reformations that discarded complicated mechanisms. The chief peril facing the Church today is forsaking divine power for human agencies, highlighting the need for believers to seek power from on high through consecration, prayer, and direct evangelism.
