I fear we are in danger of forgetting that to HAVE the Bible is one thing, and to READ it quite another.
J. C. RyleIn justification the word to be addressed to man is believe - only believe; in sanctification the word must be 'watch, pray, and fight.'
J. C. RyleO Christian, look up and take comfort. Jesus has prepared a place for you, and those who follow Him shall never perish, neither shall anyone pluck them out of His hands.
J. C. RyleWhen a manโs heart is cold and unconcerned about religion โ when his hands are never employed in doing Godโs work โ when his feet are not familiar with Godโs ways โ when his tongue is seldom or never used in prayer and praise โ when his eyes are blind to the beauty of the kingdom of heaven โ when his mind is full of the world, and has no room for spiritual things โ when these marks are to be found in a man the word of the Bible is the right word to use about him, and that word is, โDead.โ
