More quotes by J. C. Ryle
Let us be real, honest, and sincere in our Christianity. We cannot deceive an all-seeing God.
J. C. Ryle
Politics, or controversy, or party spirit, or worldliness, have eaten out the heart of lively piety in too many of us. The subject of personal godliness has fallen sadly into the background.
J. C. Ryle
The true Christian does not need to be reminded that he has a crucified Master. He often thinks of Him.
J. C. Ryle
The person that goes regularly and intelligently to the Lord's Table finds it increasingly hard to yield to sin and conform to the world.
J. C. Ryle
Let us read our Bibles reverently and diligently, with an honest determination to believe and practice all we find in them.
J. C. Ryle
The work of the preacher resembles that of the sower. Like the sower, the preacher must sow good seed, the Word of God.
J. C. Ryle
Sunday morning, before we go to hear the Word of God preached...let us not rush into God’s presence careless, reckless, and unprepared, as if it mattered not in what way such work was done. Let us carry with us faith, reverence, and prayer. If these three are our companions, we will hear with profit, and return with praise.
J. C. Ryle
Young men, I beseech you earnestly, beware of pride. Two things are said to be very rare sights in the world- one is a young man that is humble, and the other is an old man that is content. I fear that this is only too true.
J. C. Ryle
Never does a person see any beauty in Christ as a Savior, until they discover that they are a lost and ruined sinner.
J. C. Ryle
If you would train your children rightly, train them in the way they should go and not in the way they would.
J. C. Ryle
Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. Look simply unto Jesus.
J. C. Ryle
I am one of those old-fashioned ministers who believe the whole Bible and everything that it contains.
J. C. Ryle
Whatever others around you think, don't you ever be ashamed of being a Christian.
J. C. Ryle
The faith that has not a sanctifying influence on the character is no better than the faith of devils.
J. C. Ryle
Let us strive, every year we live, to become more deeply acquainted with Scripture.
J. C. Ryle
Persecution, in short, is like the goldsmith's stamp on real silver and gold - it is one of the marks of a converted man.
J. C. Ryle
Let us resolve by God's grace, that however poor and feeble our prayers may seem to be, we will pray on.
J. C. Ryle
The eye of God! Think of that. Everywhere, in every house, in every field, in every room, in every company, alone or in a crowd, the eye of God is always upon you.
J. C. Ryle
Sin always seems 'good, and pleasant, and desirable,' at the time of commission.
J. C. Ryle
The man who has nothing more than a kind of Sunday religion -- whose Christianity is like his Sunday clothes put on once a week, and then laid aside -- such a man cannot, of course, be expected to care about growth in grace.
