J. C. Ryle
Image
The work of the preacher resembles that of the sower. Like the sower, the preacher must sow good seed, the Word of God.

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
The harvest of the Lord’s field is seldom ripened by sunshine only. It must go through its days of wind, rain and storm.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We want more men and women who walk with God and before God, like Enoch and Abraham.
J. C. Ryle
Image

Image
A Bible reading laity is a nation's surest defence against error.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Look to the cross, think of the cross, meditate on the cross, and then go and set your affections on the world if you can.

Except a man be born again, he will wish one day he had never been born at all.
