Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Be very sure of this,-people never reject the Bible because they cannot understand it. They understand it only too well they understand that it condemns their own behavior they understand that it witnesses against their own sins, and summons them to judgment.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Nothing is so offensive to Christ as lukewarmness in religion.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Sin and the devil will always find helpers in our hearts.
