J. C. Ryle

J. C. Ryle
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
Until we give God our heart, we give Him nothing at all.
J. C. Ryle
Growth in grace is one way to be happy in our religion. God has wisely linked together our comfort and our increase in holiness.

Let us read our Bibles reverently and diligently, with an honest determination to believe and practice all we find in them.
J. C. Ryle
Sin always seems 'good, and pleasant, and desirable,' at the time of commission.
J. C. Ryle
If you train your children to anything, train them, at least, to a habit of prayer.
J. C. Ryle

J. C. Ryle
