| Re: Posting on SI Forum, a quote from E.M Bounds | | It might be Greg, but I saw a quote from E.M. Bounds on this Forum; where E.M Bounds was reflecting on the preachers of his day, who lack the power of prayer. They, like the money changers and those that sold oxen and sheep in Jesus' time, use the ministry of preaching to profit from their writings, and such. Does anyone remember the full article from which the quote was taken.

| Re: Great Quotes 18 | | The Scriptures are clear: Jesus will rule on the throne of David and over David's kingdom. Was David's throne or his kingdom ever in heaven? ~ Joel Richardson @Joel7Richardson

Online! | Re: | | "Say kind reader, did you ever hear or read that the holy apostles and prophets were covetous of such high, vain names as are the learned and the preachers of the world. It is true the word Rabbi or Master was applied to the ambitious Scribes and Pharisees, but not to the apostles and prophets. For we do not read of Doctor Isaiah, of Master Ezekiel and of Lords Paul and Peter. No, no. All those who have rightly taught the word of the Lord, were in their time not honored with such high-sounding names." - Menno Simons

Online! | Re: | | "More corrupt than the dark days before Luther; more impotently intellectual than during the heyday of Calvinism; more financially perverted than the days that caused John the Baptist to explode; more intoxicated with the drive for spiritual power than any age, yet exercising that outward power with less internal transformation than anyone since King Saul; enamored with the gifts, yet hardly knowing the Giver, our age has produced the most commercial, materialistic, fad-oriented people ever to claim His name." - Gene Edwards.

| Re: | | A minister must be: "(4) Zealous in reproving sin. "Rebuke them sharply" Titus 1: 13. A man of God must suck the fire of zeal out of the breasts of Scripture! Zeal in a minister is as proper as fire on the altar. Some are afraid to reprove, like the swordfish which has a sword in his head, but is without a heart. So they carry the sword of the Spirit with them—but have no heart to draw it out in reproof against sin. How many have sown pillows under their people, Ezek. 13: 18, making them sleep so securely, that they never awoke until they were in hell!

Online! | Re: | | “Surely, if we are not free to follow all, where they follow Christ and His will, we have only changed one kind of bondage for another. I do not think we ought to propose to be modeled unlike every sect, but simply to be like Christ; let us neither seek nor fear a name. I wish rather to have from every sect what every sect may have from Christ.” - Anthony Norris Groves

| Re: | | Spiritual gifts are supernatural empowerments given by the Holy Spirit to the followers of Christ so that they can do the work of building up the body of Christ, that is, the church, and extend the Kingdom of God throughout the world.
