"In the church today, we can hear messages that do not convey the true grace of God ... we can discern a message by the fruits of that message. If it's an authentic message from our Father, the living God, the fruit of that message will be a desire to draw closer to Jesus. It will put zeal and creativity and joy in our hearts ... If those fruits don't come into our lives when we hear preaching, we must judge that word as a mixed message that does not contain grace from God".
Rob Rufus - "Living in the Grace of God" - Authentic Media - (1997) - (p25).
"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
