"The 'grace' that made him (Paul) a preacher drove him across continents and across seas; it made him preach day and night with tears and pleading, it was the most vital force in his life. This was the thing that "constrained" him and made him say; "Woe is me if I preach not the gospel". He was driven by thought of these riches of God's grace and the ignorance of men and women concerning them. It was his chief reason for writing this Epistle to the Ephesians".
Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Ephesians; God's Ultimate Purpose (Ephesians 1)" - Banner of Truth Trust, Edinburgh (1978) - (p174).
"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
