A saved soul has many sorrows. They have their share of bereavements, deaths, disappointments , crosses. What shall enable a believer to bear all this? Nothing but the consolation there is in Christ.
J. C. RylePraying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.
J. C. RyleLet us read our Bibles reverently and diligently, with an honest determination to believe and practice all we find in them.
J. C. RyleElection is always to sanctification. Where there is no visible fruit of sanctification, we may be sure there is no election.
J. C. RyleHappy are they, who in the matter of marriage observe three rules. The first is to marry only in the Lord, and after prayer for Godโs approval and blessing. The second is not to expect too much from their partners, and to remember that marriage is, after all, the union of two sinners, and not of two angels. The third rule is to strive first and foremost for one anotherโs sanctification. The more holy married people are, the happier they are.
