The Lukewarm Christian by JC Ryle

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

“For another thing, let me warn all careless members of churches to beware lest they trifle their souls into hell.  You live on year after year as if there was no battle to be fought with sin, the world, and the devil.  You pass through life a smiling, laughing, gentlemanlike or ladylike person, and behave as if there was no devil, no heaven and no hell.  Oh, careless churchman, or careless dissenter, careless Episcopalian, careless Presbyterian, careless Independent, careless Baptist, awake to see eternal realities in their true light!  Awake and put on the armor of God!  Awake and fight hard for life!  Tremble, tremble and repent.”
