Quote

Make it a part of every day's business to read and meditate on some portion of God's Word. Private means of grace are just as needful every day for our souls as food and clothing are for our bodies.

We never know who they are that God will draw, and have nothing to do with it. Our duty is to invite all, and leave it to God to choose the vessels of mercy.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Growth in grace is one way to be happy in our religion. God has wisely linked together our comfort and our increase in holiness.

Image
If you profess to be a child of God, leave it to the Lord Jesus to sanctify you in His own way.
J. C. Ryle
Image
I am one of those old-fashioned ministers who believe the whole Bible and everything that it contains.
J. C. Ryle
Image
A man may just as soon read the Scripture without eyes, as understand the spirit of it without grace.

The harvest of the Lord’s field is seldom ripened by sunshine only. It must go through its days of wind, rain and storm.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.

Weak, feeble and foolish as it may seem to people, the simple story of the Cross is enough for all mankind in every part of the globe.
J. C. Ryle
Image
A Christian is a walking sermon. They preach far more than a minister does, for they preach all week long.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Naked we came upon earth, and naked we go forth, and of all our possessions, we can carry nothing with us.
J. C. Ryle
Image
To be Christian it will cost a man his love of ease.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The highest form of selfishness is that of the man who is content to go to heaven alone.
J. C. Ryle
Image
No doubt men may easily think too little of God the Father, and God the Spirit, but no man ever thought too much of Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Live as if you thought that Christ might come at any time.
J. C. Ryle
Image
People will never set their faces decidedly towards heaven, and live like pilgrims, until they really feel that they are in danger of hell.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Christmas is a season which almost all Christians observe in one way or another. Some keep it as a religious season. Some keep it as a holiday. But all over the world, wherever there are Christians, in one way or another Christmas is kept.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Until we give God our heart, we give Him nothing at all.
J. C. Ryle
Image
A religion that costs nothing is worth nothing. A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.
