What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.
J. C. RyleNext to praying there is nothing so important in practical religion as Bible reading. By reading that book we may learn what to believe, what to be, and what to do; how to live with comfort, and how to die in peace.” Happy is that man who possesses a Bible! Happier still is he who reads it! Happiest of all is he who not only reads it, but obeys it, and makes it the rule of his faith and practice!
J. C. RyleIf you love Christ, never be ashamed to let others see it and know it. Speak for Him. Witness for Him. Live for Him.

J. C. RyleTo be born again is, as it were, to enter upon a new existence, to have a new mind, a new heart, new views, new principles, new tastes, new affections, new likings, new dislikings, new fears, new joys, new sorrows, new love to things once hated, new hatred to things once loved, new thoughts of God, and ourselves, and the world, and the life to come, and salvation.
