Let us learn to be patient in the days of darkness, if we know anything of vital union with Christ.
J. C. Ryle
A Bible reading laity is a nation's surest defence against error.
J. C. Ryle
Oh, dear friend, if you love your children, I charge you, do not let the early impression of a habit of prayer slip by. If you train your children to do anything, train them, at least, to have a habit of prayer.
J. C. Ryle
Be very sure of this,-people never reject the Bible because they cannot understand it. They understand it only too well they understand that it condemns their own behavior they understand that it witnesses against their own sins, and summons them to judgment.
J. C. Ryle
Without the blessing of the Lord, your best endeavors will do no good. He has the hearts of all men in His hands, and except He touch the hearts of your children by His Spirit, you will weary yourself to no purpose. Water, therefore, the seed you sow on their minds with unceasing prayer.
J. C. Ryle
We want more men and women who walk with God and before God, like Enoch and Abraham.
J. C. Ryle
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.

Let us receive nothing, believe nothing, follow nothing which is not in the Bible, nor can be proved by the Bible.
J. C. Ryle
Nothing is so offensive to Christ as lukewarmness in religion.
J. C. Ryle
Churches may decay and perish riches may make themselves wings and fly away-but he who builds their happiness on Christ crucified and union with Him by faith, that person is standing on a foundation which shall never be moved, and will know something of true peace.
J. C. Ryle
Parents, do you wish to see your children happy? Take care, then, that you train them to obey when they are spoken to, -to do as they are bid.... Teach them to obey while young, or else they will be fretting against God all their lives long, and wear themselves out with the vain idea of being independent of His control.
J. C. Ryle
The highest form of selfishness is that of the man who is content to go to heaven alone.
J. C. Ryle
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.
J. C. Ryle
Let us read our Bibles reverently and diligently, with an honest determination to believe and practice all we find in them.
J. C. Ryle
Conversion is not putting a man in an armchair and taking him easily to heaven. It is the beginning of a mighty conflict, in which it costs much to win the victory.
J. C. Ryle
The surest mark of true conversion is humility.
J. C. Ryle
True worship leads to a more full knowledge of self, God, heaven, duty, doctrine, practice and experience.
J. C. Ryle
Go to the cross of Christ, all you that want to be delivered from the power of selfishness.
J. C. Ryle
Wherever we may be, or whatever our circumstances, the Lord Jesus sees them. We are never beyond the reach of His care.
J. C. Ryle
One single soul saved shall outlive and outweigh all the kingdoms of the world.
