No doubt men may easily think too little of God the Father, and God the Spirit, but no man ever thought too much of Christ.

We must give up the vain idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ's steps, and let the world say what it likes.

Image
The heart of a man can never be satisfied with the things of this world. It is always empty, and hungry, and thirsty, and dissatisfied, till it comes to Christ. It is only they who hear Christ's voice, and follow Him, and feed on Him by faith, who are 'filled.'.

Wrong views about holiness are generally traceable to wrong views about human corruption.
J. C. Ryle
Image

Image
Let us daily strive to copy our Savior's humility.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The blood of Christ can cleanse away all sin. But we must 'plead guilty' before God can declare us innocent.
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.
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.

Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen. We must know the depth and malignity of our disease, in order to appreciate the great Physician.

If God has given His Son to die for us, let us beware of doubting His kindness and love in any painful providence of our daily life.
