Image
That Bible is read best, which is practised most.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let your Christianity be so unmistakable, your eye so single, your heart so whole, your walk so straightforward, that all who see you may have no doubt whose you are, and whom you serve.
J. C. Ryle
Image
What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just. Such a God is an idol of your own.

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

Image
There must not only be good preaching, but good hearing.

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

J. C. Ryle
Image
Unity without the gospel is a worthless unity it is the very unity of hell.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We must wrestle earnestly in prayer, like men contending with a deadly enemy for life.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Since Satan can't destroy the gospel, he has too often neutralized its usefulness by addition, subtraction or substitution.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The Lord Jesus is a friend who never changes. There is no fickleness about Him: those whom He loves, He loves to the end.
J. C. Ryle
Image
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?
J. C. Ryle
Image
Faith in the Lord Jesus is the only sure medicine for troubled hearts.
J. C. Ryle
Image
People will never set their faces decidedly towards heaven, and live like pilgrims, until they really feel that they are in danger of hell.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition. It can only be obtained by diligent, regular, daily, attentive reading.
