A.W. Tozer emphasizes the critical need for sensitivity to the Holy Spirit in the lives of young men and women raised in Christian environments. He expresses a deep desire to maintain this sensitivity, valuing it above physical well-being. Tozer laments that many individuals, despite their Christian upbringing, lack a genuine connection with God and fail to respond to His voice. He warns that without the Holy Spirit's influence, these individuals cannot be effective Christians. The sermon calls for a revival of spiritual sensitivity to ensure a vibrant faith.

T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes the centrality of the Cross in New Testament Christianity, arguing that the Holy Spirit's judgment is always based on the Cross of Christ. He explains that the Cross represents God's definitive 'No' to the old order and 'Yes' to the new life in Christ, serving as the ultimate arbiter for all matters of faith and conduct. Sparks urges believers to recognize the importance of being sensitive to the Holy Spirit's guidance, which is always aligned with the truth of the Cross. He warns against the dangers of neglecting this truth, as seen in the early church, where a lack of sensitivity led to confusion and spiritual dullness. Ultimately, he calls for a return to the Cross as the foundation for all Christian life and decision-making.
