So long as you do not quarrel with sin, you will never be a truly happy man.

Image
If you train your children to anything, train them, at least, to a habit of prayer.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The temple in which the Lord Jesus delights most, is a broken and contrite heart, renewed by the Holy Spirit.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Humility and love are precisely the graces which the men of the world can understand, if they do not comprehend doctrines. They are the graces about which there is no mystery, and they are within reach of all classes... The poorest Christian can every day find occasion for practicing love and humility.

Image
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.

J. C. Ryle
Image
There is a vast quantity of religion current in the world which is not true, genuine Christianity. It passes muster, it satisfies sleepy consciences but it is not good money. It is not the authentic reality that called itself Christianity in the beginning.
J. C. Ryle
Image
A religion that costs nothing is worth nothing. A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We can never make too much of Christ. He is worthy of all the honor that we can give Him.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.
J. C. Ryle
Image
To be Christian it will cost a man his love of ease.

Image
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
Image
People will never set their faces decidedly towards heaven, and live like pilgrims, until they really feel that they are in danger of hell.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We must wrestle earnestly in prayer, like men contending with a deadly enemy for life.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.

How is it that many who profess and call themselves Christians, do so little for the Savior whose name they bear?
