If we are true Christians, we must not expect everything smooth in our journey to heaven. We must count it no strange thing, if we have to endure sicknesses, losses, bereavements, and disappointments, just like other men. Free pardon and full forgiveness, grace along the way, and glory at the endall this our Savior has promised to give. But He has never promised that we shall have no afflictions.
J. C. RyleThe Gospel which we possess was not given to us only to be admired, talked of, and professed - but to be practiced.
J. C. RyleLet us receive nothing, believe nothing, follow nothing which is not in the Bible, nor can be proved by the Bible.
J. C. RyleA Christian is a walking sermon. They preach far more than a minister does, for they preach all week long.
