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

Sunday morning, before we go to hear the Word of God preached...let us not rush into God’s presence careless, reckless, and unprepared, as if it mattered not in what way such work was done. Let us carry with us faith, reverence, and prayer. If these three are our companions, we will hear with profit, and return with praise.

Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Hearken, my believing reader. What is the cause of your weakness? Is it not because the fountain of life is little used? Is it not because you are resting on old experiences, and not daily gathering new manna—daily drawing new strength from Christ?
J. C. Ryle
Image
The eye of God! Think of that. Everywhere, in every house, in every field, in every room, in every company, alone or in a crowd, the eye of God is always upon you.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We corrupt the Word of God most dangerously, when we throw any doubt on the plenary inspiration of any part of Holy Scripture.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Until we give God our heart, we give Him nothing at all.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Good hymns are an immense blessing to the Church. They train people for heaven, where praise is one of the principal occupations.
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
There must not only be good preaching, but good hearing.
J. C. Ryle
Image
When the Lord Jesus Christ gives a man remission of sins, He also gives him repentance.

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