"What was the sin of the Ephesian church? (Revelation 2:5) ... They left their first love at the point where they had stopped being loving in pressing the claims of truth ... I believe that He was referring to the fact that they had become so severe and so dedicated to being 'right' that they had moved into legalistic righteousness and had lost the touch of love".
Ern Baxter in "Repentance" from "Vintage Years - Selected Articles from New Wine's First Decade: 1969-1979" - New Wine Publishers, Mobile, Alabama - (p27).
"The man who never reads will never be read. He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own ... You need to read" - C H Spurgeon. "To fail to learn from the pulpit of the past is to impoverish that of the present" - Tony Sargent
