David Platt in his book Radical has a chapter entitled "Beginning at the End of Ourselves -- The Importance of Relying on God's Power (Subsection entitled - “Dependent on Ourselves or Desperate for His Spirit”)
Platt went on to say, "This is where I am most convicted as a pastor. I am part of a system that has created a whole host of means and methods, plans and strategies for doing church that require little if any power from God. I am frightened by the reality that the church I lead can carry on most of our activities .....never realizing that the Holy Spirit of God is virtually absent from the picture.”
