God is far more willing to save sinners than sinners are to be saved.

We have the truth and we need not be afraid to say so.

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.

There is a vast quantity of religion current in the world which is not true, genuine Christianity. It passes muster, it satisfies sleepy consciences but it is not good money. It is not the authentic reality that called itself Christianity in the beginning.

Parents, do you wish to see your children happy? Take care, then, that you train them to obey when they are spoken to, -to do as they are bid.... Teach them to obey while young, or else they will be fretting against God all their lives long, and wear themselves out with the vain idea of being independent of His control.

Image
Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just. Such a God is an idol of your own.

Image
Let us strive, every year we live, to become more deeply acquainted with Scripture.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Without a thorough conviction of sin, men may seem to come to Jesus and follow Him for a season, but they will soon fall away and return to the world.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Men fall in private long before they fall in public.
J. C. Ryle
Image
No salvation without regeneration - no spiritual life without a new birth - no heaven without a new heart.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Nothing is so offensive to Christ as lukewarmness in religion.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The love of our Lord Jesus Christ towards sinners is strikingly shown in His steady purpose of heart to die for them.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Never does a person see any beauty in Christ as a Savior, until they discover that they are a lost and ruined sinner.

Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.
