The Bible in the pulpit must never supersede the Bible at home.
J. C. Ryle
Image
By affliction He teaches us many precious lessons, which without it we should never learn. By affliction He shows us our emptiness and weakness, draws us to the throne of grace, purifies our affections, weans us from the world, makes us long for heaven.

Live as if you thought that Christ might come at any time.

Image
Election is always to sanctification. Where there is no visible fruit of sanctification, we may be sure there is no election.

Image
Prayer needs neither learning, wisdom or book knowledge to begin it. It needs nothing but heart and will.
J. C. Ryle
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.

Image
The faith that has not a sanctifying influence on the character is no better than the faith of devils.
J. C. Ryle
Image
True repentance is no light matter. It is a thorough change of heart about sin, a change showing itself in godly sorrow and humiliation - in heartfelt confession before the throne of grace - in a complete breaking off from sinful habits, and an abiding hatred of all sin. Such repentance is the inseparable companion of saving faith in Christ.

A man may just as soon read the Scripture without eyes, as understand the spirit of it without grace.

Image
Backsliding, generally first begins with neglect of private prayer.

Image
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.

Image
If you would train your children rightly, train them in the way they should go and not in the way they would.
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
A zealous Savior ought to have zealous disciples.
J. C. Ryle
Image
That preaching is sadly defective which dwells exclusively on the mercies of God and the joys of heaven, yet never sets forth the terrors of the Lord and the miseries of hell.
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
The true Christian does not need to be reminded that he has a crucified Master. He often thinks of Him.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The Christian who keeps his heart diligently in little things shall be kept from great falls.

How can we love sin, when we remember that because of our sins Jesus died?

Prayer is the mightiest weapon that God has placed in our hands.
