"The people of God are essentially a prophetic community. While we are also a pastoral community and the flock of God does need to be shepherded, we are not essentially to be a shepherding community. We must not forget that our raison d'etre is to be God's voice to the world".
Terry Virgo - "Christ's Ascension Gifts" in "Preach the Word!" (ed. Greg Haslam) - (2006) Sovereign World - (p191).
"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
