The core of Warnock’s message is that God desires above all else that his Church walk in the fruit of the Spirit—in perfect love. Everything else—spiritual gifts, five-fold leadership, evangelism—is but an intermediate state designed to lead us into the exercise and infilling of perfect love. He demonstrates repeatedly that God intends for the Church to attain this perfect love on this earth, in this dispensation—and that this is the fruit for which God is waiting before the earth is “ripe” for his coming. He also compellingly shows that the “end times” are not to be a time of escape for the Church, but instead a time of purifying—a time in which the Lord completes and perfects his Church, often through perseverance in suffering.
