If Christians would honor the Holy Spirit more in his regular offices in public worship, and always keep themselves designedly amenable to his influence, both in the sanctuary and out of it, there would be far more constant and effective manifestations of his power and grace, both in building up the saints and in the salvation of sinners, than is to be seen now. The long intervals of barrenness, the coldness and discomfort of Christians are due, in great measure, to the well-nigh complete degree in which all divisions of the church have lost the practical and adequate apprehension of the presence and the official designs of the Holy Ghost as the presiding power in the Christian assembly in the Christian assembly for public worship.
— C.H. Spurgeon
