"If Jesus was here today and so many thousands of people had HIV or further advanced AIDS - He wouldn't say; "Your sin got you into this". Jesus would heal them ALL".
Rob Rufus - "Session 1" - Grace and Glory Conference in Dubai - 29th January 2008.
"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

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Condemnation and Assurance
"So let us be clear about this. It is no sign of humility, no mark of saintliness, to go into the Presence of God doubting whether God is forgiving you".
Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Great Doctrines of the Bible" - Crossway Books, Wheaton (2003) - (p355).
Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Highest Assurance and Baptism of the Spirit
"Over and above your intelligent apprehension of it, over and above your intelligent and intellectual deduction of it, there is a direct and immediate assurance given by the Holy Ghost who sheds abroad the love of God in your heart. You are overwhelmed by it, it is poured out in your heart and there is no uncertainty anymore".
Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Romans: Assurance (Romans 5)" - Banner of Truth Trust, Edinburgh (1971) - (p80).
Dr Lloyd-Jones on Assurance and the Holy Spirit
"This is something beyond understanding, beyond reason, indeed beyond comprehension, and yet it is absolute certainity, it is light, knowledge, the truth itself for it is God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Such is the light and knowledge and the understanding that is given to a man who is baptised with the Holy Spirit of God".
Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Joy Unspeakable" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1995) - (p121).
Dr Lloyd-Jones on Assurance and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit
"This is something beyond believing, beyond trusting, even beyond being sealed with the Spirit. The difference is that in the sealing with the Spirit we are given to know that we are His; the Holy Spirit 'bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God' (Romans 8:16). It is God saying to us, 'Thou art My son, My child'. Is there anything beyond that? Yes; to know God Himself! That is the summit! It is wonderful to know that I belond to God, it is an infinately greater privilidge and blessing to know God Himself".
Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Ephesians; God's Ultimate Purpose (Ephesians 1)" - Banner of Truth Trust, Edinburgh (1978) - (p347).
Dr Lloyd-Jones on Assurance and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit
"There is a third type of assurance which is the highest, the most absolute and the most glorious, and which differs essentially from the other two. How? Like this. You notice, in the first two types of assurance, what we are doing is to draw distinctions, as we read the Scriptures perhaps. We arrive at the assurance by a process of reading, understanding, self-examination or self-analysis ...
BUT the glory of this third and highest form of assurance is that it is neither anything that we do, nor any deduction that we draw, but an assurance that is given to us by the blessed Spirit Himself".
Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Joy Unspeakable" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1995) - (p101)
Dr Lloyd-Jones on Orthodoxy
"It is an appalling thought but it is nevertheless true, that there is such a thing as dead orthodoxy".
Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Revival" - Crossway Books, Wheaton (1987) - (p68).
Dr Lloyd-Jones on Optimism
"Every Christian must be an optimist. You never know when God is going to appear, you never know when the Holy Spirit is going to descend, you never know when Christ is going to deal with you and remove the burden and give your soul release. Just when you are about to convince yourself that the night is going to be endless - the dawn breaks; just when you feel sure that the struggle is all in vain and that your fighting is useless - just then and when least expected, you are rewarded with victory".
Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Evangelistic Sermons at Aberavon" - Banner of Truth Trust, Edinburgh (1990) - (p17).
Dr Lloyd-Jones on Heretics
"There is a sense in which it is true to say that you can prove anything you like from the Bible. That is how heresies have arisen. The heretics were never dishonest men; they were mistaken men. They should not be thought as men who were deliberately setting out to go wrong and to teach something that is wrong; they have been some of the most sincere men that the Church has ever known. What was the matter with them?
Their trouble was this; they evolved a theory and they were rather pleased with it; then they went back with this theory to the Bible and they seemed to find it everywhere".
Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Studies in the Sermon on the Mount" - Eerdmans, Grand Rapids (1987) - (p11)
