John Charles Ryle (1816-1900)

J.C. Ryle was a prolific writer, vigorous preacher, faithful pastor, husband of three wives, [widowed three times: Matilda died in 1847, Jessie died in 1860, Henrietta died in 1889] and the father to five children [1 with Matilta and 4 with Jessie]. He was thoroughly evangelical in his doctrine and uncompromising in his Biblical principles.

In 1880, after 38 years in Pastoral ministry in rural England, at age 64, he became the first Anglican bishop of Liverpool. He retired in 1900 at age 83 and died later the same year at the age of 84.

Father, on this Thursday morning, speak to us. Quicken Your own ones hearts, minds, and spirits in this thickening present darkness. Shine through Your Truth and Light brighter and brighter in the midst of this spiritual battle. Loosen chains, bonds, and break to smithereens strongholds and oust the one and his minions deceiving and staking claims and treading on and trampling the souls of men. Speak Lord, Most High God. Send the enemy scattering, in the name of Jesus the Christ, the only begotten Son of You, the living God, the God of the living. May Your name be glorified and praised, always, amen.

Justification and righteousness come by faith alone. I am saved by faith, made righteous by faith and kept by faith in Christ's blood. That is the very foundation of the gospel. But not all faith is justifying faith. The Bible clearly speaks of two kinds of faith: one that justifies and another that is of no value—a faith that even the devils exercise.

The book of Acts records that Simon the magician "believed" but his faith was not the justifying kind. "Simon himself believed also: and . . . he was baptized" (Acts 8:13). Simon offered the apostle Peter money to acquire the power of the Holy Ghost but Peter answered, "I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity" (verse 23). He was saying, "Your heart is still bound by sin."

Peter told Simon that without repentance both he and his money would perish. Indeed, Simon believed but he was not made the righteousness of God in Christ. His faith was not justifying faith, the kind that purifies the heart and brings the righteousness of Christ.

Scripture says many people "believed [in Jesus] . . . when they saw the miracles which he did. But Jesus did not commit himself unto them... for he knew what was in man" (John 2:23-25). These people had a belief in Christ but it was not the faith of those who receive "power to become the sons of God" (1:12).

Justifying faith is more than a faith of assent; it does more than just acknowledge God. James argued: "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble" (James 2.19). James was talking about a dead, temporary faith, not an eternal one. And Jesus warned about this kind of faith, saying that some believe for a while “[but] have no root . . . and in time of temptation fall away" (Luke 8:13).

But there is a justifying faith, one that "purifies the heart" (see Acts 15.9) and "believeth unto righteousness" (Romans 10:10).

In order for faith to be justifying, there must be an accompanying desire to obey and be faithful to God. This kind of faith contains a vital force, a principle of everlasting obedience and love for God.

"If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen." ~I Timothy 6:3-16

Psalm 2

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His anointed; saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: The Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, an d vex them in His sore displeasure. Yet have I set my King upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten Thee. Ask of me, and I will give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for Thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him."

Are we compromised?

I pray that all who claim to be Christian watch this, and then act!! This thrilling story set just off the beautiful coast of Scotland is retold in Revival Hymn and will encourage you to pray for God to come down again with convicting and saving power. It was at here that Duncan Campbell started his mission in 1949, He described revival as "a community saturated with God".

In the March/April 1993 American Horizon, disclosed the fact that in 1991, 11,500 churches of a major U.S. denomination had obtained 294,784 decisions for Christ. Unfortunately, they could find only 14,337 in fellowship. They couldn't account for 280,000 of their decisions.

This happened despite the usual intense follow-up. What's wrong? We think that we have discovered the answer...
