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

The Lord Jesus is a friend who never changes. There is no fickleness about Him: those whom He loves, He loves to the end.

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.

Image
When you cannot answer a skeptic, be content to wait for more light but never forsake a great principle.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. Look simply unto Jesus.

Image
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.

What would you expect? Sin will not come to you saying, 'I am sin.' It would do little harm if it did. Sin always seems 'good, pleasant and desirable' at the time of arrival.

Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.

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

Image
That preaching is sadly defective which dwells exclusively on the mercies of God and the joys of heaven, yet never sets forth the terrors of the Lord and the miseries of hell.

Let us seek friends that will stir up our prayers, our Bible reading, our use of time, and our salvation.
J. C. Ryle
Image
True repentance is no light matter. It is a thorough change of heart about sin, a change showing itself in godly sorrow and humiliation - in heartfelt confession before the throne of grace - in a complete breaking off from sinful habits, and an abiding hatred of all sin. Such repentance is the inseparable companion of saving faith in Christ.

One single soul saved shall outlive and outweigh all the kingdoms of the world.

A Christian is a walking sermon. They preach far more than a minister does, for they preach all week long.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Our prayers may be weak, stammering, and poor in our eyes. But if they come from a right heart, God understands them. Such prayers are His delight.

Image
We live in an age when there is a false glare on the things of time and a great mist over the things of eternity.

Image
The doctrine of Christ crucified is the strength of a Minister. I, for one, would not be without it for all the world.

Image
If you do not love Christ, let me tell you plainly what is the reason. You have no sense of debt to him.

O Christian, look up and take comfort. Jesus has prepared a place for you, and those who follow Him shall never perish, neither shall anyone pluck them out of His hands.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Are you tempted? Look unto Jesus. Are you afflicted? Look unto Jesus. Do all speak evil of you? Look unto Jesus. Do you feel cold, dull, and backsliding? Look unto Jesus.

Whatever others around you think, don't you ever be ashamed of being a Christian.
