- Ryle said, If Christians have no divine book to turn to as their warrant of doctrine and practice, they have no solid ground for present peace or hope, and they have no right to claim the attention of mankind.
- 00:53
- They are building on a quicksand, and their faith is vain. We ought to be able to say boldly,
- 01:02
- We are what we are, and we do what we do, because we have here a book which we believe to be the
- 01:10
- Word of God. The subject is one of peculiar importance in this present day, and by the way, his present day was in the early 1900s.
- 01:24
- He said, Infidelity and skepticism abound everywhere. In one form or another, they are to be found in every rank and class of society.
- 01:34
- Thousands of Englishmen are not ashamed to say that they regard the Bible as an obsolete old
- 01:41
- Jewish book, which has no special claim on our faith and obedience, and that it contains many inaccuracies and defects.
- 01:52
- Myriads who will not go so far as this are wavering and shaken in their belief and show plainly by their lives that they are not quite sure the

- Christian should be able to set his foot down firmly and to render a reason of his confidence in God's Word.
- 02:17
- He should be able by sound arguments to meet and to silence the gainsayer.
- 02:24
- If he cannot convince him, he should be at least able to show good cause why he thinks the
- 02:32
- Bible is from heaven and not from men. And thanks for spending this passionate theology moment with us.
