“Let your Christianity be so unmistakable, your eye so single, your heart so whole, you walk so straightforward that all who see you may have no doubt whose you are and whom you serve.” -J.C. Ryle
To the new pastor: Be humble. Work hard. Listen, watch, & learn for a season before trying to make changes too quickly. Preach the word. Love the people. Visit. Pray fervently. Pour yourself into your leaders. Love your wife & children well. Love God more than you love your work.
Prove all things by the Word of God.
Measure all by the measure of the Bible.
Compare all with the standard of the Bible.
Weigh all in the balance of the Bible.
Examine all by the light of the Bible.
Test all in the crucible of the Bible.
J.C. Ryle
“We find Christ in all the Scriptures. In the Old Testament He is predicted, in the Gospels He is revealed, in Acts He is preached, in the epistles He is explained, and in Revelation He is expected.” Alistair Begg
“Good friends are among our greatest blessings – they may keep us back from much evil, quicken us in our course, speak a word in season, draw us upward, and draw us on." -@JCRyle
Let the Bible, the whole Bible, nothing but the Bible, be the rule of our faith and practice. Holding this principle, we travel upon the King's highway. The road may sometimes seem narrow, and our faith may be severely tried-but we shall not be allowed greatly to err.
