J. C. Ryle Quote

Obedience . . . is faith visible, faith acting, and faith manifest.  It is the test of real discipleship among the Lord’s people.

From Deuteronomy 30:2-3:  “Return to the Lord your God, and you and your children obey Him with all your heart and with all your soul, just as I am commanding you today, then the Lord your God will return you from your captivity and have compassion on you, gathering you again from all the peoples among whom the Lord your God has scattered you.”

John Charles (J. C.) Ryle (1816-1900) was an Anglican bishop in the United Kingdom.

Single Flame Burning

In stillness of morn

Single flame burning

Offering goodness

Each hour keeps churning

 

In stillness of day

Single flame burning

Sharing lasting peace

Heartbeat keeps churning

 

In stillness of work

Single flame burning

Energizing joy

Outlook keeps churning

 

In stillness of night

Single flame burning

Encouraging hope

Life shall keep churning

 

In stillness of dreams

Single flame burning

Grasping tender hand

True love keeps churning

Annie Lennox Quotes

I live in a world of possibility and opportunity.  You look for the light.

I think that you can only be true to yourself.  Nobody can live up to other people’s expectations.

Annie Lennox (born 1954) is a Scottish singer and songwriter..  

Faith’s Bedrock

From 1 Peter 5:8-9:  “Discipline yourselves; keep alert.  Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour.  Resist him, steadfast in your faith, for you know that your brothers and sisters in all the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.”

Stay alert, darkness lurks

Enemy remains at large

Believing in Savior’s strength

Faith in Him, taking charge

 

Faith sown with righteousness

Found in Christ’s merciful breath

Calling saints, wear His armor

Recall, Lord conquered death

 

Witness Calvary’s grace

Jesus suffers for man’s sins

Nailing each one to faith’s cross

His love shall always win

 

Hope’s perfect Good Shepherd

Always tending to His flock

Revealing glory’s goodness

Peace springs from faith’s bedrock

 

Hang on to faith’s Savior

Humble selves in mercy’s hands

Casting burdens upon Him

Heaven’s sunrise shall stand
