Before Christ comes it is useless to expect to see a perfect Church.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Wrong views about holiness are generally traceable to wrong views about human corruption.
J. C. Ryle
Image
When I speak of a man growing in grace, I mean simply this - that his sense of sin is becoming deeper, his faith stronger, his hope brighter, his love more extensive, his spiritual mindedness more marked.
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.

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?

God is far more willing to save sinners than sinners are to be saved.
J. C. Ryle
Image
That preaching is sadly defective which dwells exclusively on the mercies of God and the joys of heaven, yet never sets forth the terrors of the Lord and the miseries of hell.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We must give up the vain idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ's steps, and let the world say what it likes.
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.

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

Image
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.

Image
Men fall in private long before they fall in public.

Image
The children of God all have a cross to bear. A suffering Savior generally has suffering disciples.

To be Christian it will cost a man his love of ease.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Without the blessing of the Lord, your best endeavors will do no good. He has the hearts of all men in His hands, and except He touch the hearts of your children by His Spirit, you will weary yourself to no purpose. Water, therefore, the seed you sow on their minds with unceasing prayer.

Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.
