Image
A Bible reading laity is a nation's surest defence against error.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.

The parent who tries to train without setting a good example is building with one hand, and pulling down with the other.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The heart of a man can never be satisfied with the things of this world. It is always empty, and hungry, and thirsty, and dissatisfied, till it comes to Christ. It is only they who hear Christ's voice, and follow Him, and feed on Him by faith, who are 'filled.'.

Image
We want more men and women who walk with God and before God, like Enoch and Abraham.

Nothing perhaps affects man's character more than the company he keeps
J. C. Ryle
Image
Our Lord has many weak children in his family, many dull pupils in his school, many raw soldiers in his army, many lame sheep in his flock. Yet he bears with them all, and casts none away. Happy is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren.
