Live as if you thought that Christ might come at any time.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We live in an age when there is a false glare on the things of time and a great mist over the things of eternity.

Image
If you want to find out how much someone loves you, find out how much they pray for you.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Every fresh act of sin lessens fear and remorse, hardens our hearts, blunts the edge of our conscience, and increases our evil inclination.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Inability to distinguish doctrine is spreading far and wide, and so long as the preacher is clever and earnest, hundreds seem to think it must be all right, and call you dreadfully narrow and uncharitable if you hint that he is unsound!
J. C. Ryle
Image
We must give up the vain idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ's steps, and let the world say what it likes.

Image
Sin always seems 'good, and pleasant, and desirable,' at the time of commission.
J. C. Ryle
Image
No prayers can be heard which do not come from a forgiving heart.

If we would have good ministers, we must remember our Lord’s example, and pray for them. Their work is heavy. Their responsibility is enormous. Their strength is small. Let us see that we support them, and hold up their hands by our prayers.

Nothing is so fickle and uncertain as popularity. It is here today and gone tomorrow. It is a sandy foundation, and sure to fail those who build upon it.
J. C. Ryle
Image
By affliction He teaches us many precious lessons, which without it we should never learn. By affliction He shows us our emptiness and weakness, draws us to the throne of grace, purifies our affections, weans us from the world, makes us long for heaven.

Image
The Word of God is ROCK. All else is sand.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Miserable indeed is that religious teaching which calls itself Christian, and yet contains nothing of the cross.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We are all naturally self-righteous. It is the family disease of all the children of Adam.
J. C. Ryle
Image
A true Christian is one who has not only peace of conscience, but war within. He may be known by his warfare as well as by his peace.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Are you tempted? Look unto Jesus. Are you afflicted? Look unto Jesus. Do all speak evil of you? Look unto Jesus. Do you feel cold, dull, and backsliding? Look unto Jesus.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us cleave to Christ more closely, love Him more heartily, live to Him more thoroughly, copy Him more exactly, confess Him more boldly, and follow Him more fully.
J. C. Ryle
Image
To be Christian it will cost a man his love of ease.
J. C. Ryle
Image
How can we love sin, when we remember that because of our sins Jesus died?
J. C. Ryle
Image
The blood of Christ can cleanse away all sin. But we must 'plead guilty' before God can declare us innocent.
