"Revelation is not poured out to make us smarter. Insight is a wonderful benefit of this encounter but our intelligence is not God's primary concern. His focus in revelation is our personal transformation. Revelation leads to a God encounter and that encounter forever changes us. The encounters can be stunning experiences or the simple moments of being immersed in His peace; but they are markers along the journey of "Thy Kingdom Come". Without the encounter, revelation makes us proud".
Bill Johnson - "Dreaming with God" - Destiny Image Publishers, Shippensburg, PA (2006) - p130.
"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
