Christmas is a season which almost all Christians observe in one way or another. Some keep it as a religious season. Some keep it as a holiday. But all over the world, wherever there are Christians, in one way or another Christmas is kept.

A deep sense of sin, a humble willingness to be saved in God's way, a teachable readiness to give up our own prejudices when a more excellent way is shown, these are the principal things. These things the two disciples possessed, and therefore our Lord went with them and guided them into all truth.

Let us only take heed that this office of Christ is not set before us in vain. It will profit us nothing at the last day that Jesus was a Shepherd, if during our lifetime, we never heard His voice and followed Him. If we love life, let us join His flock without delay.

J. C. Ryle
Image
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.

Your trials, crosses, and conflicts are all temporary.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Sin always seems 'good, and pleasant, and desirable,' at the time of commission.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Surely if there be any habit which your own hand and eye should help in forming, it is the habit of prayer.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We know nothing of humility by nature, for we are all born proud.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Do not glory in your own faith, your own feelings, your own knowledge, or your own diligence. Glory in nothing but Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We should no more tolerate false doctrine that we would tolerate sin.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We know but little of true Christianity, if we don't feel a deep concern about the souls of unconverted people.
J. C. Ryle
Image
If you train your children to anything, train them, at least, to a habit of prayer.
J. C. Ryle
Image
If you love Christ, never be ashamed to let others see it and know it. Speak for Him. Witness for Him. Live for Him.

Without a thorough conviction of sin, men may seem to come to Jesus and follow Him for a season, but they will soon fall away and return to the world.
