"A spiritual gift is a skill that the Spirit anoints to be effective. The effect is not always just conversions. It's the pricking of consciences. It's the deepening of love for the Lord. It's the correcting of behaviour in others".
John Piper in Justin Taylor and John Piper (editors) - "Stand: A Call for the Endurance of the Saints" - Crossway Books (2008) - (p140).
"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
