"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

Jonathan Edwards on the Song of Solomon
"In his commentary on Canticles or the Song of Solomon, Edwards joined the long line of expositors who have addressed the question of the nature of the song. He left no ambiguity in his answer. It is "no common love song or epithalamium" - a judgement he also rendered about Psalm 45. On the contrary he asserted Canticles is a "song of love between Christ and the church or the assembly of the saints" who are "spiritual virgins".

Terry Virgo on Knowing Him and Knowing about Him
"An inadequate submission to Biblical truth can rob us of knowing Him in a dynamic way and experiencing Him in all His fullness".

Rob Rufus on Loss of Joy
"Loss of joy is a sign that we have allowed the activity of the Holy Spirit's power and anointing in our lives and we have allowed the spirit of demonic witchcraft and the spirit of heaviness to have influence over our lives".

Rob Rufus on the Power of Disappointment
"What is the power of disappointment? The power of disappointment is that the power of the things you DON'T understand robs you of the things you DO understand".

Rob Rufus on the Spirit IN you and ON you.
"Every person born again has the Spirit of God fully inside of you! Romans 8 says every believer has the Spirit within you - but that doesn't mean to say He is ON you. There is a big difference between the Spirit being IN you and ON you. The Bible refers to the Spirit IN us about fruit - but ON us about power. Jesus got the Spirit IN Him when He was born. But at the age of 30 He looked up and saw the Spirit coming UPON Him like a dove ...The Spirit IN you? Wonderful but no demonstration of power. The Spirit ON you - that is when the demonstrations of power begin. All Christians have the Spirit inside them. Very few have the power of the Lord upon them".

Rob Rufus on Why the Holy Spirit has Come on You
"The Holy Spirit has come upon every one of you without measure to position you to shape the course of human history".

Rob Rufus on Power and Fear of God
"You will never have the full measure of power if you do not have the full measure of the power of God".

Rob Rufus on the Vital Power of a Right World View
"We are not talking about an earth getting worse and worse and worse and the Church being so weak and pathetic that we will have to escape to heaven one day. No we are talking about the earth getting BETTER and BETTER and BETTER and the government of God's peace breaking into the earth and evil being toppled and God's Kingdom invading this earth and manifesting God's Kingdom on earth!
The Anti-Christ and the Beast are not going to invade the earth and take it over. Read your Book of Revelation! The Church does! The power of God takes over the earth! And when you see this as your world-view and your vision for life of where the world is going then you understand why you need more than just a little anointing to survive a little life - you need a measure to enforce impossibilities to bow their knee and the hungry will be fed and orphans cared for!"

Rob Rufus on Why Jesus Did Miracles
"When Jesus did miracles on this earth, He did not do them to show us what God could do. He did them to show us what ordinary human beings could do through being rightly related to God".
