JR-019 Self-Examination - An Audio Sermon on by J. C. Ryle 1816-1900
"Let us go back and visit the brothers in all the towns where we preached the word of the Lord and see how they are doing" (Acts 15:36). Our text for this morning contains a proposal which the Apostle Paul made to Barnabas after their first missionary journey. He proposed to revisit the Churches they had founded, and to see how the were getting along. Were their members continuing steadfast in the faith? Were they growing in grace? Were they going forward, or standing still? Were they prospering, or falling away? This was a wise and useful proposal. Let us take it to heart, and apply it to ourselves today. Let us search our ways, and find out how things stand between ourselves and God. Let us "see how we are doing?" I ask every one who is listening to this sermon to join me in self-examination. If ever self-examination about our Christianity was needed, it is needed today. In handling this question, I think the shortest plan will be to suggest a list of subjects for self-examination, and to take them in order. By doing so I will hope to meet the need of every one who is listening to this sermon. I invite every one of you to join me in a calm, searching self-examination, for a few short minutes. I desire to speak to myself as well as to you. I approach you not as an enemy, but as a friend. "My heart's desire and prayer to God is that you may be saved" (Romans 10:1). Bear with me if I say things which at first sight look harsh and severe. Believe me, he is your best friend who tells you the most truth.
