Image
Let us learn to be patient in the days of darkness, if we know anything of vital union with Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Image
A religion that costs nothing is worth nothing. A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us awake to a sense of the perilous state of many professing Christians. 'Without holiness no man shall see the Lord' without sanctification there is no salvation (Hebrews 12:14). Then what an enormous amount of so-called religion there is which is perfectly useless!

Our Lord has many weak children in his family, many dull pupils in his school, many raw soldiers in his army, many lame sheep in his flock. Yet he bears with them all, and casts none away. Happy is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren.

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.

There is a vast quantity of religion current in the world which is not true, genuine Christianity. It passes muster, it satisfies sleepy consciences but it is not good money. It is not the authentic reality that called itself Christianity in the beginning.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.

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

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.
