The true Christian does not need to be reminded that he has a crucified Master. He often thinks of Him.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The 'means of grace' are such as Bible reading, private prayer, and regularly worshiping God in Church, wherein one hears the Word taught and participates in the Lord's Supper.

The Bible in the pulpit must never supersede the Bible at home.
