We live in an age when there is a false glare on the things of time and a great mist over the things of eternity.

Image
Until we give God our heart, we give Him nothing at all.

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?

Image
Before Christ comes it is useless to expect to see a perfect Church.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Live as if you thought that Christ might come at any time.

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.

Image
The temple in which the Lord Jesus delights most, is a broken and contrite heart, renewed by the Holy Spirit.

Image
What would you expect? Sin will not come to you saying, 'I am sin.' It would do little harm if it did. Sin always seems 'good, pleasant and desirable' at the time of arrival.

People fall in private, long before they fall in public. The tree falls with a great crash, but the secret decay which accounts for it, is often not discovered until it is down on the ground.

I should as soon expect a farmer to prosper in business who contented himself with sowing his fields and never looking at them till harvest, as expect a believer to attain much holiness who was not diligent about his Bible reading, his prayers, and the use of his Sundays.

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.

Prayer is the mightiest weapon that God has placed in our hands.

Image
How is it that many who profess and call themselves Christians, do so little for the Savior whose name they bear?
J. C. Ryle
Image
But if there is one thing clearly and plainly laid down about election, it is this: that elect men and women may be known and distinguished by holy lives.

The best of men are men at best

If we would have good ministers, we must remember our Lord’s example, and pray for them. Their work is heavy. Their responsibility is enormous. Their strength is small. Let us see that we support them, and hold up their hands by our prayers.

The Gospel was not meant merely to reside in our intellect, memories, and tongues, but to be seen in our lives.

Image
If you do not love Christ, let me tell you plainly what is the reason. You have no sense of debt to him.
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.

Many, I fear, would like glory, who have no wish for grace. They would [want to] have the wages, but not the work the harvest, but not the labor the reaping, but not the sowing the reward, but not the battle. But it may not be.
