"'Because I said so' is not very persuasive to five-year old children throwing a temper tantrum and 'because I said so' is not very effective with twenty-five year old college students in bed with one another. What is needed in it's place is a worldview built around the proposition that God said so. Our calling is not merely to parrot those words, but to sert forth a biblical theology that takes seriously the gracious prescriptions and the gracious prohibitions of our holy, loving Creator".
Justin Taylor - "Introduction" in "Sex and the Supremacy of Christ" (Piper, John and Taylor, Justin - editors) - Crossway Books (2006) - (p15).
"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
