The man who has nothing more than a kind of Sunday religion -- whose Christianity is like his Sunday clothes put on once a week, and then laid aside -- such a man cannot, of course, be expected to care about growth in grace.

More quotes by J. C. Ryle
God is far more willing to save sinners than sinners are to be saved.
J. C. Ryle
Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen.
J. C. Ryle
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
The parent who tries to train without setting a good example is building with one hand, and pulling down with the other.
J. C. Ryle
So long as you do not quarrel with sin, you will never be a truly happy man.
J. C. Ryle
We can never make too much of Christ. He is worthy of all the honor that we can give Him.
J. C. Ryle
Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you.
J. C. Ryle
The Bible in the pulpit must never supersede the Bible at home.
J. C. Ryle
There must not only be good preaching, but good hearing.
J. C. Ryle
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
If you profess to be a child of God, leave it to the Lord Jesus to sanctify you in His own way.
J. C. Ryle
By affliction He teaches us many precious lessons, which without it we should never learn. By affliction He shows us our emptiness and weakness, draws us to the throne of grace, purifies our affections, weans us from the world, makes us long for heaven.
J. C. Ryle
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.
J. C. Ryle
Wherever we may be, or whatever our circumstances, the Lord Jesus sees them. We are never beyond the reach of His care.
J. C. Ryle
A Christian is a walking sermon. They preach far more than a minister does, for they preach all week long.
J. C. Ryle
The temple in which the Lord Jesus delights most, is a broken and contrite heart, renewed by the Holy Spirit.
J. C. Ryle
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
Conversion is not putting a man in an armchair and taking him easily to heaven. It is the beginning of a mighty conflict, in which it costs much to win the victory.
J. C. Ryle
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
Miserable indeed is that religious teaching which calls itself Christian, and yet contains nothing of the cross.
J. C. Ryle
