Ryan Rufus on Position vs Practice

"We don't preach obedience, we don't preach holiness, we don't preach performance - we preach position in Christ because as you have a revelation of that righteousness will flow from your spirit, obedience will flow from your spirit, holiness will flow from your spirit".

Al Mohler on a Challenge to Heterosexual Men

"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".

Rob Rufus on Living a Holy Life ... Truly!

"When I see a Christian who is sinning a lot, I don't have any judgement any more. I say that they do not have very much faith that they are the righteousness of God. The more you realise who you are, the more you start living out who you are. But if you have got to be forced into holy behaviour by threats of hell and disapproval from God or the Church then the holiness that you go into is false and is based on control and dark demons, demons of witchcraft".
