"If your doctrine of the Holy Spirit does not include this idea of the Holy Spirit falling upon people, it is seriously, greviously defective. This, it seems to me, has been the trouble especially during this present century ... The whole notion of the Holy Spirit falling upon people has been discountenanced and discouraged and if you read many of the books on the Holy Spirit, you will find it is not even mentioned at all, a fact which is surely one of the prime explanations of the present state of the Christian church".
Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Joy Unspeakable" - Hodders (1984) - (p116).
"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
