Quote

Persecution, in short, is like the goldsmith's stamp on real silver and gold - it is one of the marks of a converted man.

There is only one door, one bridge, one ladder, between earth and heaven - the crucified Son of God.

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
Prayer is the surest remedy against the devil and besetting sins.

The best of men are men at best

A man's state before God may always be measured by his prayers.

Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition. It can only be obtained by diligent, regular, daily, attentive reading.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Do something, by God’s help, to make heaven more full and hell more empty.

Image
True Christian is not an angel he is not a halfangelic being, in whom is no weakness, or blemish, or infirmity: he is nothing of the kind. He is nothing more than a sinner who has found out his sinfulness, and has learned the blessed secret of living by faith in Christ.

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.
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
There is more to be learned at the foot of the Cross than anywhere else in the world.
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
If you would train your children rightly, train them in the way they should go and not in the way they would.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The incorruptible things are all within the narrow gate. The peace of God which passed all understanding - the bright hope of good things to come - the sense of the Spirit dwelling in us - the consciousness that we are forgiven, safe, insured, provided for in time and eternity, whatever may happen - these are true gold, and lasting riches.

Image
Of all the doctrines of the Bible none is so offensive to human nature as the doctrine of God's sovereignty.
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.

Image
Next to praying there is nothing so important in practical religion as Bible-reading.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We must wrestle earnestly in prayer, like men contending with a deadly enemy for life.

Image
The man who has nothing more than a kind of Sunday religion -- whose Christianity is like his Sunday clothes put on once a week, and then laid aside -- such a man cannot, of course, be expected to care about growth in grace.

Let us learn to be patient in the days of darkness, if we know anything of vital union with Christ.
