Ryle <b>is</b> piercing and this generation needs more J.C. Ryle's who are <em>not</em> afraid to stand up, carry the cross and suffer for Christ. Thanks for the post Reformed Pilgrim. The line that hit me square between the eyes was <em>"Beware of making selections from your Bible to suit your taste."</em> <b>Ouch.</b> Leave it to Ryle to point us to Christ and strengthen us in our sanctification. Soli Deo Gloria! Right on Marianne. Ryle is piercing and this generation needs more J.C. Ryle’s who are not afraid to stand up, carry the cross and suffer for Christ.

Thanks for the post Reformed Pilgrim. The line that hit me square between the eyes was “Beware of making selections from your Bible to suit your taste.”

Ouch.

Leave it to Ryle to point us to Christ and strengthen us in our sanctification.

Soli Deo Gloria!

Tickles the ears of men. I would go so far to say that I think Joel Osteen epitimized the spirit of an Anti-Christ. Tickles the ears of men.

Ryle! Unfortunately, in this generation, people are seeking a message that tickles their ears. Everyone wants to hear all that Jesus is going to do for them. Not too many want to hear about picking up our cross and suffering for Christ to be his disciple. After suffering tremendous loss of family and wealth, Job cried out despite his circumstance and said. "Shall we accept the good from God, and not trouble?" The truth is that God uses all that comes against a believer to be used for good. Even though we don't understand certain things in Scripture, all was put there for God's purpose. Speak Lord, for I am listening! I love that piercing truth from J.C. Ryle! Unfortunately, in this generation, people are seeking a message that tickles their ears.

I would bet that you haven't ever spoken to a single person who dedicated their life to Christ at an Osteen event, at his church, or in front of their TV sets. Joel Osteen gives an altar call at the end of each sermon that is as strong as any alter call given by any minister. That invitation to "turn from sin and accept Jesus as [their] Lord & Savior" is seen thousands of times across the globe each week. There is not one other minister on the planet who calls more people to the Lord. And every single week he tells millions of people to "Get into a Bible-Based church so that [they] can learn how to live the Christian life." You should be ashamed of yourself for criticizing a bretheren in Christ out of complete ignorance. This will be my last post on this issue. Do your homework!!!

Christ is the treasure of the gospel not material success, job promotion, or name it and calim it comfortable living.
