““Since then your majesty and your lordships desire a simple reply, I will answer without horns or without teeth. Unless I am convinced by Scripture and plain reason- I do not accept the authority of popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other- my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe.”
“Let the man who would hear God speak, read Holy Scriptures.” “The Holy Spirit himself and God, the Creator of all things, is the Author of this book.” “But be assured that no one will make a doctor of the Holy Scripture save only the Holy Ghost from heaven.” “There is not a word in the Bible which is extra cruem, which can be understood without reference to the cross.” |

"Dear friends, I am the little servant of an illustrious Master."
"All God’s giants have been weak men, who did great things for God because they reckoned on His being with them."
"Want of trust is at the root of almost all our sins and all our witnesses and how shall we escape it but by looking to Him and observing His faithfulness. The man who holds God’s faithfulness will not be foolhardy or reckless, but will be ready for every emergency."

John Newton If you are looking for evidence of the transforming power of the grace and mercy of God, John Newton is a prime example. Once a despicable slave trader, by God's grace he was transformed into a humble servant of God and man. He became personal friends with such notables as John Wesley, William Wilberforce, William Carey, Henry Martyn and George Whitefield. Enjoy the wisdom that flows from the pen of John Newton. "My principal method of defeating heresy is by establishing truth. One proposes to fill a bushel with tares: now, if I can fill it first with wheat, I shall defy his attempts." |

Quotes on Humility "Humility is perfect quietness of heart. It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised. It is to have a blessed home in the Lord, where I can go in and shut the door, and kneel to my Father in secret, and am at peace as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and above is trouble. The humble person is not one who thinks meanly of himself, he simply does not think of himself at all." Andrew Murray |

PRACTICAL WISDOM FROM BISHOP J.C. RYLE R C Ryle has been described as one of the greatest of the Victorian evangelicals. His successor at Liverpool, England, was F.J.Chevasse. He described Ryle as "that man of granite, with the heart of a child. Charles Spurgeon, described him as "the best man in the Church of England." Another writer described him as a “theological vertebrate” who never suffered what Ryle called “boneless, nerveless, jellyfish condition of soul.” I found his book, Practical Religion, filled with solid spiritual food, the kind you have to chew on for awhile but when digested leaves a sweetness in the soul. I hope you are blessed by the following quotes from this challenging book. |
