More quotes by J. C. Ryle
Imagination is the hotbed where this sin is too often hatched. Guard your thoughts, and there will be little fear about your actions.
J. C. Ryle
Men fall in private long before they fall in public.
J. C. Ryle
Every fresh act of sin lessens fear and remorse, hardens our hearts, blunts the edge of our conscience, and increases our evil inclination.
J. C. Ryle
Next to praying there is nothing so important in practical religion as Bible-reading.
J. C. Ryle
Any well-read man knows that the moral difference between the condition of the world before Christianity was planted and since Christianity took root is the difference between night and day, the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of the devil.
J. C. Ryle
Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees.
J. C. Ryle
To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.
J. C. Ryle
Nothing perhaps affects man's character more than the company he keeps
J. C. Ryle
Prayer is the mightiest weapon that God has placed in our hands.
J. C. Ryle
Before Christ comes it is useless to expect to see a perfect Church.
J. C. Ryle
Whatever others around you think, don't you ever be ashamed of being a Christian.
J. C. Ryle
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.
J. C. Ryle
The heart of a man can never be satisfied with the things of this world. It is always empty, and hungry, and thirsty, and dissatisfied, till it comes to Christ. It is only they who hear Christ's voice, and follow Him, and feed on Him by faith, who are 'filled.'.
J. C. Ryle
Weak, feeble and foolish as it may seem to people, the simple story of the Cross is enough for all mankind in every part of the globe.
J. C. Ryle
Make it a part of every day's business to read and meditate on some portion of God's Word. Private means of grace are just as needful every day for our souls as food and clothing are for our bodies.
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.
J. C. Ryle
True worship leads to a more full knowledge of self, God, heaven, duty, doctrine, practice and experience.
J. C. Ryle
If Christ had not gone to the cross and suffered in our stead, the just for the unjust, there would not have been a spark of hope for us. There would have been a mighty gulf between ourselves and God, which no man ever could have passed.
J. C. Ryle
Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen.
J. C. Ryle
The Gospel was not meant merely to reside in our intellect, memories, and tongues, but to be seen in our lives.
J. C. Ryle
