Image
The true Christian delights to hear something about his Master. He likes those sermons best which are full of Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.

Image
The parent who tries to train without setting a good example is building with one hand, and pulling down with the other.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Happiness does not depend on outward circumstances, but on the state of the heart.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The children of God all have a cross to bear. A suffering Savior generally has suffering disciples.

Do we profess to love Christ? Then let us show it by our lives.

Image
Those who confine God's love exclusively to the elect appear to me to take a narrow and contracted view of God's character and attributes....I have long come to the conclusion that men may be more systematic in their statements than the Bible, and may be led into grave error by idolatrous veneration of a system

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
Let us resolve by God's grace, that however poor and feeble our prayers may seem to be, we will pray on.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Persecution, in short, is like the goldsmith's stamp on real silver and gold - it is one of the marks of a converted man.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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
If God has given His Son to die for us, let us beware of doubting His kindness and love in any painful providence of our daily life.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The nearer we live to God while we live, the more ready we will be to dwell forever in His presence when we die.
J. C. Ryle
Image
That Bible is read best, which is practised most.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Such true worship will stand the test of Christ's great principle, “By their fruits you shall know them”. It sanctifies the Christian's life, and makes them walk with God, lifting them above fear and love of the world. It enables a Christian to show God to other folks. Such worship comes from heaven, and has the mark of God upon it.

A converted man will not wish to go to heaven alone

Whatever others around you think, don't you ever be ashamed of being a Christian.
J. C. Ryle
Image
What is the reason that some believers are so much brighter and holier than others? I believe the difference, in nineteen cases out of twenty, arises from different habits about private prayer. I believe that those who are not eminently holy pray little, and those who are eminently holy pray much.

People may refuse to see the truth of our arguments, but they cannot evade the evidence of a holy life.

Do something, by God’s help, to make heaven more full and hell more empty.
