We must give up the vain idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ’s steps, and let the world say what it likes.
J. C. RYLE -
Obedience is the only reality. It is faith visible, faith acting, and faith manifest. It is the test of real discipleship among the Lord’s people.

Better to confess Christ 1000 times now and be despised by men, than be disowned by Christ before God on the day of Judgment.
J. C. RYLE -
Faith is to the soul what life is to the body. Prayer is to faith what breath is to the body. How a person can live and not breathe is past my comprehension, and how a person can believe and not pray is past my comprehension too.
J. C. RYLE -
If you do not love Christ, let me tell you plainly what is the reason. You have no sense of debt to him.
J. C. RYLE -
No time is so well spent in every day as that which we spend upon our knees.

Let us receive nothing, believe nothing, follow nothing which is not in the Bible, nor can be proved by the Bible.
