"Justification involves a double counting, crediting or reckoning. On the one hand negatively God will never count our sins against us. On the other hand, positively God credits our account with righteousness as a free gift, by faith, altogether apart from our works".
John R W Stott - "BST Series - The Message of Romans" - IVP, Leicester (1994) - (p127).
"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
