"A spiritual gift is an ability, divinely bestowed and sustained to grasp and express the realities of the spiritual world and the knowledge of God in Christ for the edifying of both others and oneself".
J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p296).
"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
