Humility and love are precisely the graces which the men of the world can understand, if they do not comprehend doctrines. They are the graces about which there is no mystery, and they are within reach of all classes... The poorest Christian can every day find occasion for practicing love and humility.

Sunday morning, before we go to hear the Word of God preached...let us not rush into God’s presence careless, reckless, and unprepared, as if it mattered not in what way such work was done. Let us carry with us faith, reverence, and prayer. If these three are our companions, we will hear with profit, and return with praise.

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

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.

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
If you train your children to anything, train them, at least, to a habit of prayer.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The faith that has not a sanctifying influence on the character is no better than the faith of devils.

The harvest of the Lord’s field is seldom ripened by sunshine only. It must go through its days of wind, rain and storm.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Surely if there be any habit which your own hand and eye should help in forming, it is the habit of prayer.
