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.

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

Real true faith is man’s weakness leaning on God’s strength.

From Psalm 18:2:  “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”

D. L. Moody (1837-1899), also known as Dwight Lyman Moody, was an American evangelist and Christian teacher.  He is frequently credited with inspiring modern mass revivalism.
