BUT IF THE 'WORLD' GETS INTO THE CHURCH,

THE CHURCH WILL GO DOWN IN DISGRACE!"

Is God Calling You to be a Pastor?

The right kind of education is essential to the man who has answered God's call. No army dare send a soldier into battle without proper training. The results would be devastating, not only for the warrior, but for the war.

THE WORLD NEEDS JESUS THE SAVIOR!

Excerpts from His Expository of the Gospels -- J. C. Ryle

The Christianity which the world requires, and the Word of God reveals, is a useful everyday religion. It is a healthy, strong, manly plant, which can live in every position, and flourish in every atmosphere except that of sin. It is a religion which a man can carry with him wherever he goes and never need leave behind him. In the army or in the navy, at the public school or at college, in the great hospital lecture room and at the bar, on the farm or in the shop, in the market or exchange, in parliament or at court, true heaven-born Christianity will live and not die. It will wear, and stand, and prosper in any climate, in winter and in summer, in heat and in cold. Such a religion meets the needs of mankind.

The glorious company of the Apostles, the noble army of martyrs, the saints who in every age and land have made their mark on mankind and turned the world upside down,--all, all have had one common mint-stamp upon them. They have been men who lived “Looking into Jesus.”

And the object we are to look at, you will observe, is a PERSON, --not a doctrine, not an abstract theological dogma, but a living Person; and that Person is Jesus the Very Son of God.
