"No man, not even the most committed heterosexual husband, will be able to say on the Day of Judgement, "My sexual affections, my sexual arousal, was always from the very beginning, only directly towards that which was holy - the covenant of marriage and the wife that I was given". EVERY man struggles with a corrupted affection, and that corrupted affection, given the reality of the male sex drive is often directed towards a desire for fulfillment entirely at odds with the glory of God. Every man bears a different struggle, but every man is engaged in a sexual struggle, and this should give us an attitude of sympathy as we address homosexuals with the truth".

"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
