Nothing perhaps affects man's character more than the company he keeps
J. C. Ryle

Let us learn to be patient in the days of darkness, if we know anything of vital union with Christ.

J. C. Ryle
Image
Prayer is the surest remedy against the devil and besetting sins.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Meekness is one of the brightest graces which can adorn the Christian character.
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.

To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.
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.

J. C. Ryle
Image
People are backsliders on their knees long before they backslide openly in the eyes of the world.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The 'means of grace' are such as Bible reading, private prayer, and regularly worshiping God in Church, wherein one hears the Word taught and participates in the Lord's Supper.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you.
J. C. Ryle
Image
There must not only be good preaching, but good hearing.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Whatever others around you think, don't you ever be ashamed of being a Christian.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just. Such a God is an idol of your own.
J. C. Ryle
Image
A good conscience will be found a pleasant visitor at our bedside in a dying hour.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The Lord Jesus is a friend who never changes. There is no fickleness about Him: those whom He loves, He loves to the end.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The blood of Christ can cleanse away all sin. But we must 'plead guilty' before God can declare us innocent.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. Look simply unto Jesus.
