Risultati per "JC Ryle" in Catechesi ed evangelismo

Alcançar a simplicidade na pregação é de extrema importância a todos os ministros que desejam ser úteis às almas. A não ser que você seja simples em seus sermões você nunca vai ser entendido, e se não for compreendido, você não pode fazer o bem aos que lhe ouvem. O ditado de Quintiliano é verdadeiro: "Se você não anseia ser entendido, você é digno de ser esquecido". O primeiro objetivo de um ministro deve ser o de pregar a verdade, toda a verdade, e nada mais que "a verdade como ela é em Jesus".

Many Christians still love to read the classic sermons and devotionals of the great 19th-century English preacher Charles H. Spurgeon. But there were many other Christian writers of the same era who also penned inspired devotionals. This collection of timeless treasures contains 100 classic devotionals from 23 inspired writers read for a modern audience by the unique and emotive voice of British narrator Christopher Glyn.

This inspiring sermon by J.C. Ryle encourages Christians to remain steadfast and active in their faith while waiting for Christ’s return. Drawing from the infamous biblical parable of the three men who are given talents to invest while their master is away, Ryle urges Christians to use their gifts to serve the kingdom and to advance the message of the Gospel. Criticizing an inactive approach to Christianity, Ryle expects Christians to put away laziness, keeping the impending return of the King at the forefront of their minds.

"True Christianity is a fight," wrote J. C. Ryle in 1877. He argued that from the day of their conversion until the day they die, Christians are called to be soldiers for Christ in a war for their holiness. This inspiring call to action written more than 100 years ago continues to be a source of great encouragement and inspiration for believers today.

Old Paths is a collection of 19 of J. C. Ryle's most effective tracts on the leading truths of Christianity, which are, as he says, "necessary to salvation." In including in such a series Inspiration, Election, and Perseverance, he allows that good Christians have disagreed and will still disagree about them, but he inserts them nevertheless on account of the immense importance of the first and the extraordinary neglect into which the last two have fallen. Ryle's racy style, plainspokenness, and good taste are sure to secure your affection and hold your attention.

The 19th century was an age that witnessed great progress in many areas of exploration and learning. However, according to J. C. Ryle, it was an age of great ignorance too. What particularly distressed Ryle was the scant knowledge of the English Reformation evident amongst his contemporaries. In this lay a grave danger: one of the reasons so many congregations drift from their evangelical foundations is their sheer ignorance of Christian history, and their lack of understanding of the major doctrinal controversies and why they matter.

Clear, concise, and penetrating, Practical Religion contains a series of writings about the daily duties, dangers, experiences, and privileges of all who profess and call themselves true Christians. Ryle explains that a "practical religion" is not a religion of works, but rather one in which those who are saved can put their faith into practice.

Speaker and writer J. C. Ryle once said, "The man who hears the word of God and does it is the true Christian. He hears the call of God to repent and be converted, and he obeys it. He ceases to do evil and learns to do well. He puts off the old man and puts on the new. He hears the call of God to believe in Jesus Christ for justification, and he obeys it." In The True Christian, Ryle details many more ways in which Christians can be uncompromising in their biblical principles.
