There is a common, worldly kind of Christianity in this day, which many have, and think they have enough-a cheap Christianity which offends nobody, and requires no sacrifice-which costs nothing, and is worth nothing.

Image
Take away the cross of Christ, and the Bible is a dark book.

Image
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.

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.

Go to the cross of Christ, all you that want to be delivered from the power of selfishness.

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?

When you cannot answer a skeptic, be content to wait for more light but never forsake a great principle.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Churches may decay and perish riches may make themselves wings and fly away-but he who builds their happiness on Christ crucified and union with Him by faith, that person is standing on a foundation which shall never be moved, and will know something of true peace.
J. C. Ryle
Image
There is only one door, one bridge, one ladder, between earth and heaven - the crucified Son of God.
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.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Miserable indeed is that religious teaching which calls itself Christian, and yet contains nothing of the cross.
J. C. Ryle
Image
People will never set their faces decidedly towards heaven, and live like pilgrims, until they really feel that they are in danger of hell.

Parents, do you wish to see your children happy? Take care, then, that you train them to obey when they are spoken to, -to do as they are bid.... Teach them to obey while young, or else they will be fretting against God all their lives long, and wear themselves out with the vain idea of being independent of His control.

No doubt men may easily think too little of God the Father, and God the Spirit, but no man ever thought too much of Christ.

The true secret of spiritual strength is self-distrust and deep humilty.

There is but one fountain of comfort for a man drawing near to his end, and that is the Bible. ...All comfort from any other source is a house built upon sand.
