The first step towards attaining a higher standard of holiness is to realize more fully the amazing sinfulness of sin.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.

A good conscience will be found a pleasant visitor at our bedside in a dying hour.

Conduct is the grand test of character. Words are one great evidence of the condition of the heart.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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
We may love money without having it, just as we may have money without loving it.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us be real, honest, and sincere in our Christianity. We cannot deceive an all-seeing God.
J. C. Ryle
Image
If you train your children to anything, train them, at least, to a habit of prayer.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen.
J. C. Ryle
Image
If Christ had not gone to the cross and suffered in our stead, the just for the unjust, there would not have been a spark of hope for us. There would have been a mighty gulf between ourselves and God, which no man ever could have passed.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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.

The devil has more knowledge than any of us, and yet is no better for it.

Since Satan can't destroy the gospel, he has too often neutralized its usefulness by addition, subtraction or substitution.
