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
I want people to fill their minds with passages of Scripture while they are well and strong, that they may have sure help in the day of need. I want them to be diligent in studying their Bibles, and becoming familiar with its contents, in order that the grand old Book may stand by them and talk with them when all earthly friends fail.
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.

If Christianity is a mere invention of man, and the Bible is not from God, how can infidels explain Jesus Christ? His existence in history they cannot deny. How is it that without force or bribery, without arms or money, He has made such an immensely deep mark on the world as He certainly has?

Wrong views about holiness are generally traceable to wrong views about human corruption.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Of all the doctrines of the Bible none is so offensive to human nature as the doctrine of God's sovereignty.

What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.

Image
Let us never measure our religion by that of others, and think we are doing enough if we have gone beyond our neighbors.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The first step towards attaining a higher standard of holiness is to realize more fully the amazing sinfulness of sin.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us learn to be patient in the days of darkness, if we know anything of vital union with Christ.
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
The true Christian delights to hear something about his Master. He likes those sermons best which are full of Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition. It can only be obtained by diligent, regular, daily, attentive reading.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The Bible in the pulpit must never supersede the Bible at home.
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
A Christian is a walking sermon. They preach far more than a minister does, for they preach all week long.
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.
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.

Prayer is the mightiest weapon that God has placed in our hands.
