Excerpt

"Compassion we ought to feel when we think of the wretched
state of unconverted souls, and the misery of all men and women
who live and die without Christ. No poverty like this poverty!
No disease like this disease! No slavery like this slavery! No
death like this-death in idolatry, irreligion, and sin! Well may
we ask ourselves, Where is the mind of Christ, if we do not feel
for the lost? Reader, I lay it down boldly, as a great
principle, that the Christianity which does not make a man feel
for the state of unconverted people is not the Christianity
which came down from heaven 1900 years ago, and is embalmed in
the New Testament. It is a mere empty name. It is not the
Christianity of St. Paul."
--J.C Ryle; from "The Sight Which Stirred Paul "

2:1-5 And I, brethren, when I came unto you,
came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom,
proclaiming to you the testimony of God. (2)
For I determined not to know anything among you, save
Jesus Christ, and him crucified. (3)
And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much
trembling. (4) And my
speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of
wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
(5) that your faith should
not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. |
