Oh, dear friend, if you love your children, I charge you, do not let the early impression of a habit of prayer slip by. If you train your children to do anything, train them, at least, to have a habit of prayer.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The true Christian delights to hear something about his Master. He likes those sermons best which are full of Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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
Image
The doctrine of Christ crucified is the strength of a Minister. I, for one, would not be without it for all the world.
