A zealous man feels that, like a lamp, he is made to burn; and if consumed in burning, he has but done the work for which God appointed him. Such a one will always find a sphere for his zeal. If he cannot preach and work and give money,
he will cry and sigh and pray. John C. Ryle 1816-1900 Evangelical Bishop of the Anglican Church
People will never set their faces
decidedly toward heaven and
live like pilgrims, until they really
feel that they are in danger of hell . . .
Let us expound and beat out the Ten

breadth, and depths, and height of their requirements.
This is the way of our Lord in
the Sermon on the Mount. We cannot do

on it, men will never come to Jesus, unless they really
know why they are to come., and what is their need.
