Quote

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.

What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.
J. C. Ryle

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.

Image
If you love Christ, never be ashamed to let others see it and know it. Speak for Him. Witness for Him. Live for Him.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. Look simply unto Jesus.

No salvation without regeneration - no spiritual life without a new birth - no heaven without a new heart.

Take away the cross of Christ, and the Bible is a dark book.

People may refuse to see the truth of our arguments, but they cannot evade the evidence of a holy life.

If Christianity is a mere invention of man, and the Bible is not from God, how can infidels explain Jesus Christ? His existence in history they cannot deny. How is it that without force or bribery, without arms or money, He has made such an immensely deep mark on the world as He certainly has?

Christmas is a season which almost all Christians observe in one way or another. Some keep it as a religious season. Some keep it as a holiday. But all over the world, wherever there are Christians, in one way or another Christmas is kept.

Let us never measure our religion by that of others, and think we are doing enough if we have gone beyond our neighbors.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Any well-read man knows that the moral difference between the condition of the world before Christianity was planted and since Christianity took root is the difference between night and day, the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of the devil.

Hell itself is truth known too late
J. C. Ryle
Image
Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let it never surprise true Christians if they are slandered and misrepresented in this world. They must not expect to fare better than their Lord.
J. C. Ryle
Image
If anyone feels his sins, let him come at once, straight, direct, not merely to church, or to the sacrament, or to repentance, or to prayer, but to Christ Himself.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us learn to be patient in the days of darkness, if we know anything of vital union with Christ.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Sanctification is the outcome and inseparable consequence of regeneration. He who is born again and made a new creature receives a new nature and a new principle and always lives a new life.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Sin and the devil will always find helpers in our hearts.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We can never make too much of Christ. He is worthy of all the honor that we can give Him.

A tree may always be known by its fruit, and a true Christian may always be discovered by their habits, tastes & affections.
