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

Image
If we would have good ministers, we must remember our Lord’s example, and pray for them. Their work is heavy. Their responsibility is enormous. Their strength is small. Let us see that we support them, and hold up their hands by our prayers.

Miserable indeed is that religious teaching which calls itself Christian, and yet contains nothing of the cross.
J. C. Ryle
Image
I want people to fill their minds with passages of Scripture while they are well and strong, that they may have sure help in the day of need. I want them to be diligent in studying their Bibles, and becoming familiar with its contents, in order that the grand old Book may stand by them and talk with them when all earthly friends fail.

A man may just as soon read the Scripture without eyes, as understand the spirit of it without grace.
J. C. Ryle
Image
People are backsliders on their knees long before they backslide openly in the eyes of the world.

Image
We know but little of true Christianity, if we don't feel a deep concern about the souls of unconverted people.
J. C. Ryle

Hearken, my believing reader. What is the cause of your weakness? Is it not because the fountain of life is little used? Is it not because you are resting on old experiences, and not daily gathering new manna—daily drawing new strength from Christ?

Let us strive, every year we live, to become more deeply acquainted with Scripture.
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.

Let us never forget that our chief danger is from within. The world and the devil combined, cannot do us as much harm as our own hearts will, if we do not watch and pray.
