The Lord Jesus is a friend who never changes. There is no fickleness about Him: those whom He loves, He loves to the end.

I am one of those old-fashioned ministers who believe the whole Bible and everything that it contains.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Happiness does not depend on outward circumstances, but on the state of the heart.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The incorruptible things are all within the narrow gate. The peace of God which passed all understanding - the bright hope of good things to come - the sense of the Spirit dwelling in us - the consciousness that we are forgiven, safe, insured, provided for in time and eternity, whatever may happen - these are true gold, and lasting riches.

God is far more willing to save sinners than sinners are to be saved.

Prayer is the mightiest weapon that God has placed in our hands.

Image
Faith in the Lord Jesus is the only sure medicine for troubled hearts.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. Look simply unto Jesus.
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.
J. C. Ryle
Image
True Christian is not an angel he is not a halfangelic being, in whom is no weakness, or blemish, or infirmity: he is nothing of the kind. He is nothing more than a sinner who has found out his sinfulness, and has learned the blessed secret of living by faith in Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Image
To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Your trials, crosses, and conflicts are all temporary.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us daily strive to copy our Savior's humility.
J. C. Ryle
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.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Inability to distinguish doctrine is spreading far and wide, and so long as the preacher is clever and earnest, hundreds seem to think it must be all right, and call you dreadfully narrow and uncharitable if you hint that he is unsound!
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us cleave to Christ more closely, love Him more heartily, live to Him more thoroughly, copy Him more exactly, confess Him more boldly, and follow Him more fully.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The first step towards attaining a higher standard of holiness is to realize more fully the amazing sinfulness of sin.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Assurance of hope is more than life, it is health, strength, power, vigor, activity, energy, manliness, beauty.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We should no more tolerate false doctrine that we would tolerate sin.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Imagination is the hotbed where this sin is too often hatched. Guard your thoughts, and there will be little fear about your actions.
