"I fear that we neglect the ministry of angels; we do not think sufficiently about it. But whether we realise it or not, there are angels who are looking after us; they are round and about us. We do not see them, but that does not matter. We do not see the most important things; we only see the things that are visible. But we are surrounded by angels and they are appointed to look after us and to minister to us - guardian angels.
I do not pretend to understand it all; I know no more than the Bible tells me - but I do know this, that His servants, the angels are my servants. They are surrounding us all, they are looking after us and they are manipulating things for us in a way we cannot understand".
Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Ephesians: Life in the Spirit (Ephesians 4:18-6:9) - Banner of Truth Trust, Edinburgh (1980) - (pp205-206).
"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
