Ryan Rufus on Sanctification as Want To

"Sanctification is not a 'have to', it's an overflow of what has already taken place inside of you. Take off the have tos and the want tos will arise...

Take the have tos off the body of Christ and you will discover that all the want tos that got put in at the point of salvation will start to come out."

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".

Rob Rufus - "Invading the Impossible - Part 11" - City Church International, Hong Kong - Sunday 23rd March 2008.

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Real Christianity

"I will call them My people which were not My people. If you are a Christian then that is what you are! Do not think of Christianity merely in terms of forgiveness of sins. It is that, but it is much more than that ... We become betrothed to Him! We become married to Him! ... The church is the bride of Christ with all that represents not only by way of dignity and position but especially of care and concern and guardianship!".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Romans Chapter 9" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1991), (pp257-258).
