"For revelation is an invitation to a divine encounter to empower you to do what has been revealed to you. Revelation is something that is hidden but is now no longer hidden. As soon as you see it, you have an anointing to access it".

Rob Rufus on Discerning True Messages of Grace
"In the church today, we can hear messages that do not convey the true grace of God ... we can discern a message by the fruits of that message. If it's an authentic message from our Father, the living God, the fruit of that message will be a desire to draw closer to Jesus. It will put zeal and creativity and joy in our hearts ... If those fruits don't come into our lives when we hear preaching, we must judge that word as a mixed message that does not contain grace from God".
Rob Rufus - "Living in the Grace of God" - Authentic Media - (1997) - (p25).

Terry Virgo on being free from performance
"You don't have to justify yourself. You don't have to impress others. You don't even have to impress God. In putting all your trust in Jesus and his cross you are saying that you have found one who has already impressed God on your behalf!"
Terry Virgo, God's Lavish Grace, Monarch, 2004, p67
Rob Rufus on Missing the Presence of God
"It is profoundly nerve-wracking and frightening when the manifest Presence of God isn't there".

Terry Virgo on Orthodoxy
"You don't get points for getting it "right" ... if we are "right" then we should be doing it better!".

Ram Babu on Relationship and Anointing
"The man who has a relationship with God is the man who can see the hand of God on his life ... I learned that the key for the anointing is a relationship with God".
Ram Babu - "Main Session 2" - "Faith for Healing Conference" - CCK, Brighton - Saturday 17th November 2007.
Ram Babu on Asking Questions
"I said; "God if I preach you, I don't want to preach you with mere words. I want You to back me up with miracles - I want You to come and show Yourself alive!". When I was born again I didn't have any mentors, spiritual fathers, Christian books, tapes, CDs, video cassettes and no preachers or teachers to train me. All I had was a Bible in my hand. And I said; "God - You did it! If not then - why not now in my life?". We need to say; "God if You are the same God then WHERE are the miracles? If my God does not change and His word does not change then WHERE are the miracles?".

John Piper on Defining Justification
"Justification is the act by which God says, “I no longer count you guilty. I count you as righteous with the righteousness of my son.”

John Piper on D A Carson
"I go out of my way to listen to Don Carson any chance I get so one reason (it's not the decisive reason) is that he is an amazing person. He is a scholar of the first rank. He is a pastoral scholar with a love for the Church. He is an evangelist who does what he calls "missions" at universities where he is arguing for the cause of Christ and leading people out of their unbelief. He is reformed and loves the sovereignity of God and the doctrines of grace. He is a family man and - although I don't have a lot of personal experience of this - he can do just about anything evidently!
He can build things with his hands so I admire men like that. There aren't many of them around. He is clear and he is articulate. He says things and you understand when he says them. But the decisive thing for the conference was that he lost his dad too. His dad ran a church in Canada and I knew he wanted to publish a book about his dad just like I want to write something about my dad".
