Image
A true Christian is one who has not only peace of conscience, but war within. He may be known by his warfare as well as by his peace.
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
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
The Gospel was not meant merely to reside in our intellect, memories, and tongues, but to be seen in our lives.
J. C. Ryle
Image
There must not only be good preaching, but good hearing.

Young men, I beseech you earnestly, beware of pride. Two things are said to be very rare sights in the world- one is a young man that is humble, and the other is an old man that is content. I fear that this is only too true.
J. C. Ryle
Image
There is a vast quantity of religion current in the world which is not true, genuine Christianity. It passes muster, it satisfies sleepy consciences but it is not good money. It is not the authentic reality that called itself Christianity in the beginning.
J. C. Ryle
Image
There will be no universal peace until the Prince of Peace appears.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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
Image
Are you tempted? Look unto Jesus. Are you afflicted? Look unto Jesus. Do all speak evil of you? Look unto Jesus. Do you feel cold, dull, and backsliding? Look unto Jesus.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Do something, by God’s help, to make heaven more full and hell more empty.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen. We must know the depth and malignity of our disease, in order to appreciate the great Physician.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. Look simply unto Jesus.
J. C. Ryle
Image
How is it that many who profess and call themselves Christians, do so little for the Savior whose name they bear?
J. C. Ryle
Image
We can never make too much of Christ. He is worthy of all the honor that we can give Him.
