Pastor Dean taught yesterday on fighting the good fight of faith. It reminded me of a paragraph in the book Holiness by J.C. Ryle. This encouraged me greatly at a time the fight was especially strong and I needed to be reminded of what a 'good' fight it is!
"Let us settle in our minds that the Christian fight is a good fight - really good, truly good, emphatically good. We see only part of it yet. We see the struggle, but not the end; we see the campaign, but not the reward; we see the cross, but not the crown. We see a few humble, broken-spirited, penitent, praying people, enduring hardships and despised by the world; but we see not the hand of God over them, the face of God smiling on them, the kingdom of glory prepared for them. These things are yet to be revealed. Let us not judge by appearances. There are more good things about the Christian warfare than we see."
