Look Unto Jesus!
“Are you tempted? Look unto Jesus. Are you afflicted? Look unto Jesus. Do all speak evil of you? Look unto Jesus. Do you feel cold, dull, backsliding? Look unto Jesus. Whether you are weak or strong, in the valley or on the mountain, in sickness or in health, in sorrow or in joy, in going [...]
Words of Holiness
Occasionally, I will post something I discover about J.C. Ryle on the weekend (other than a Ryle quote) for your enjoyment. Below is a ‘wordle’ (word cloud) from the first chapter of Ryle’s fantastic book entitled Holiness. Can you guess the chapter title? HT: I Am Chief

“Election is always to sanctification. Those whom Christ chooses out of mankind, He chooses not only that they be saved, but that they may bear fruit, and that it can be seen. All other election beside this is a mere vain delusion and a miserable invention of man. Where there is no visible fruit of [...]

The Mighty Cost Of Our Freedom
“The freedom of Christ’s people has been procured, like all other freedom, at a mighty cost and by a mighty sacrifice. Great was the bondage in which they were naturally held, and great was the price necessary to be paid to set them free. Mighty was the enemy who claimed them as his captives, and [...]
