Growth in grace is one way to be happy in our religion. God has wisely linked together our comfort and our increase in holiness.
J. C. RyleGood hymns are an immense blessing to the Church. They train people for heaven, where praise is one of the principal occupations.
J. C. RyleWhen I speak of a man growing in grace, I mean simply this - that his sense of sin is becoming deeper, his faith stronger, his hope brighter, his love more extensive, his spiritual mindedness more marked.
