"Many Christians are not sure what to do. Some have sought to claim the crown rights of King Jesus all the way up to the high places only to find themselves sacrificing to idols upon arrival. Others have opted for the monastery in a Benedictine attempt to preserve the faith amid the rise of Barbarian culture. Neither of those options will suffice.... It is past time for a recovery of the full exercise of the Christian religion. And such a recovery requires the vital, life-animating power of holiness."From Jared Longshore's Introduction The modern American Church has forgotten the call to holy living. If we are not blithely ignoring the sin in our lives, we often restrict holiness to reading our Bibles and praying. However holiness is something that should include everything in our lives, and in this series of sermons, J.C. Ryle shows why we must fight sin in every area of life. He also shows how Christians can be assured that they are saved in Christ and how through Him they can be victorious in their own battles. "You are often sick at heart of your own short-comings.... But know now that Jesus can see some beauty in everything that you do from a conscientious desire to please Him. His eye can discern excellence in the least thing which is a fruit of His own Spirit. He can pick out the grains of gold from amidst the dross of your performances, and sift the wheat from amidst the chaff, in all your doings. Your tears are all put into His bottle. Your endeavors to do good to others, however feeble, are written in His book of remembrance."J.C. Ryle"-- Provided by publisher.
