"The reception of the Spirit after believing certainly had experimental repercussions for some New Testament Christians as Acts and Galatians 3:2 makes plain; it produced not merely charismatic action (prophecy, tongues, miracles) but also great joy, boldness and vigour in Christian life and service".
J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p246).
"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
