"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

Thomas Schriener on Christian's Good Works
"The emphasis on good works is seriously misunderstood if such works are conceived as the basis of justification. Believers are justified by grace alone but faith always produces good works and such good works are necessary for eternal life. They function as evidence that one has new life in Christ".

Thomas Schriener and Christian Tithing
"Even though tithing is not mandated, there is no call in the New Testament to hoard one's possessions or to live selfishly ... The tithe itself is not mandated by Scripture and Scripture is our rule and authority rather than a tradition that requires believers to tithe".
