Dan Bowen on Glorious Grace!

"The scope of grace is as glorious as the stars that God flung into space. No matter how often we stare at it, we still haven't quite covered it or even begun to see all aspects of it!"

Rob Rufus on the Law

"What is the Law? It is an awareness of good and evil".

Rob Rufus - "Session 1" - "Grace and Glory Conference - Hong Kong" - 23rd October 2007.

Rob Rufus on Right Attitudes and Motives

"The question is not what are you doing but why you are doing it".

Rob Rufus - "Attitudes That Attract The Empowering Grace Of God - Part 3" - City Church International, Hong Kong - Sunday 3rd August 2008.

Rob Rufus on the Anointing and the Glory

"You work hard in the anointing but when you get into the glory it is effortless. The anointing is empowering man to do ministry but the glory is God turning up - the glory realm is the realm of the supernatural - it's the realm of healing".

Rob Rufus - "A Covenant of Grace" - Newfrontiers Europe Conference - Session 1 - 10 May 2008.

John Piper on the ULTIMATE Benefit of the Gospel!

"Would it not be better to say that the ultimate benefit of the Gospel, which makes all its other parts good news, is neither being nor seeing but delighting and displaying - that is delighting in and displaying "the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ"? In other words, is it not the case that we behold and thus become ... and that we become and thus behold (Matthew 5:8, 2 Cor 4:6) in order that ultimately we might delight in and display God? Becoming and beholding are a means to the end of delighting and displaying".

John Piper - "God is the Gospel" - Crossway Books, Illnois (2005) - (p160).

John Piper on the Glory of God and Us

"The better we see Him, the better we will reflect Him - to all eternity".

John Piper - "God is the Gospel" - Crossway Books, Illnois (2005) - (p158).

John Piper on the True Meaning of Love

"Love is doing whatever you need to do to help people see and savour the glory of God in Christ forever and ever".

John Piper - "God is the Gospel" - Crossway Books, Illnois (2005) - (p153).

John Piper on the Gospel and Glory

"The gospel of God and the love of God are expressed finally and fully in God's gift of Himself for our everlasting pleasure".

John Piper - "God is the Gospel" - Crossway Books, Illnois (2005) - (p147).

Ryan Rufus on Demons Manifesting

"I know this that demons hate the anointing and often are agitated and begin to surface when they come into contact with anointing and glory. Numbers of times in our meeting demons have manifested just because of the atmosphere of God in the place- they can't handle it!"

Rob Rufus on the Key Issue Behind Law and Grace

"It has really got nothing to do with law and grace. It is all about who controls the Church. Does the Holy Spirit control the Church? Or does man control the Church? Does hierarchy control the Church? Does programme control the Church? Does organisation control the Church? Does the talents and religious pedigrees of man control the Church? Does self-righteousness control the Church? Does sophisticated theology control the Church or does the power of the living God rush through the Church in signs and wonders and miracles?

The number one reason why there aren't signs, wonders and miracles in the Church? Easy. Law. Condemnation. It brings in the control of man. Condemnation is an effective insulation against the power of God".

Rob Rufus - "Session 1" - "Glory and Grace Conference in Sydney" - Wednesday 26th March 2008.

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Phenomena in Revival

"We must not be interested in, nor frightened of phenomena. I am pointing out to you that God Himself has said that the glory is so glorious that men's physical frame is inadequate. So do not be surprised when you read the reports of people fainting, or going off into a kind of dead swoon, it is a measure of the glory of God. It is beyond us and it is not surprising therefore that it should sometimes lead to such consequences".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Revival" - Crossway Books, Wheaton (1987) - (p219).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on What Happens in Revival

"It is just this glimpse of God, of the glory of God passing by. That is precisely what it is ... the God who is there in the glory as it were, comes down and pours out His Spirit and ascends again and we look on and feel and know that the glory of God is in the midst and is passing by. It is only a touching of the hem of the garment as it were, it is but a vision of the back".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Revival" - Crossway Books, Wheaton (1987) - (p220).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Results of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

"It is an occasion in which the reality of divine things becomes plain, in a way that it has never been before and in a sense, never is again, so that they can look back to it; it stands out in all it's glory. And therefore this is something which we should seek. But so many, because of their fear of excesses have never even sought it and have felt that it is wrong and dangerous to seek it and thereby they have put themselves out of the category that includes these great men of God whose experiences we have just been considering".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Great Doctrines of the Bible - Volume 2" - Crossway Books, Wheaton (2003) - (p251).

Rob Rufus on His Ministry Statement

"To the degree that you get rid of condemnation over your life, to that degree the glory Presence of God will manifest over your life. Much condemnation? Little glory Presence on your life, your home and your family. Little condemnation over your life? Much manifest glory of God over your life! No condemnation over your life? FULL manifestation of the fullness of glory over your life!".

Rob Rufus - "Invading the Impossible - Part 14" - City Church International, Hong Kong - Sunday 20th April 2008.

John Piper on Justification

"God counts us as having His righteousness in Christ because we are united to Christ by faith alone. That is, we are counted as perfectly honouring and displaying the glory of God, which is the essence of God's righteousness and which is also a perfect fulfilling of the law. This is what God imputes to us and counts us as having because we are in Christ who perfectly honoured God in His sinless life. It is not nonsense. It is true and precious beyond words".

John Piper - "The Future of Justification - A Response to N T Wright" - IVP, Nottingham (2008) - (p165).

Rob Rufus on How to Deal with Pharisees

"Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever and you know, the Pharisees are the same yesterday, today and forever. Their cousins and descendants come among us today still. You will never make the Pharisees happy - don't try. Don't get nervous about them or intimadated by their witchcraft. Just love them, forgive them and then take a whip and crack it over their heads".

Rob Rufus - "Session 3" - Grace and Glory Conference in Dubai - 31st January 2008.

Rob Rufus on Defining Revelation

"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 - "Invading the Impossible 3" - City Church International, Hong Kong - Sunday 27th January 2008.

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).

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.”
