QUOTE (J.C. Ryle) – Dec 12
December 12, 2013
J.C. Ryle, first Bishop of Liverpool (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
“Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just; a God who is all love, but not holy; a God who as a heaven for every body, but a hell for none; a God who can allow good and bad to be side by side in time, but will make no distinction between good and broad in eternity. Such a God is an idol of your own, as truly an idol as any snake or crocodile in an Egyptian temple. The hands of your own fancy and sentimentality have made him. He is not the God of the Bible, and beside the God of the Bible there is no God at all.”
~ J.C. Ryle
In honor of J.C Ryle, the first Anglican bishop of Liverpool, who was ordained on this day in 1841.
