Sin and the devil will always find helpers in our hearts.

Do we profess to love Christ? Then let us show it by our lives.

Persecution, in short, is like the goldsmith's stamp on real silver and gold - it is one of the marks of a converted man.

Image
Wherever we may be, or whatever our circumstances, the Lord Jesus sees them. We are never beyond the reach of His care.

Image
What is the reason that some believers are so much brighter and holier than others? I believe the difference, in nineteen cases out of twenty, arises from different habits about private prayer. I believe that those who are not eminently holy pray little, and those who are eminently holy pray much.

The children of God all have a cross to bear. A suffering Savior generally has suffering disciples.

Image
We must give up the vain idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ's steps, and let the world say what it likes.

People fall in private, long before they fall in public. The tree falls with a great crash, but the secret decay which accounts for it, is often not discovered until it is down on the ground.

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.

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

Image
Sunday morning, before we go to hear the Word of God preached...let us not rush into God’s presence careless, reckless, and unprepared, as if it mattered not in what way such work was done. Let us carry with us faith, reverence, and prayer. If these three are our companions, we will hear with profit, and return with praise.

Image
The first step towards attaining a higher standard of holiness is to realize more fully the amazing sinfulness of sin.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The faith that has not a sanctifying influence on the character is no better than the faith of devils.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us daily strive to copy our Savior's humility.

Image
True Christian is not an angel he is not a halfangelic being, in whom is no weakness, or blemish, or infirmity: he is nothing of the kind. He is nothing more than a sinner who has found out his sinfulness, and has learned the blessed secret of living by faith in Christ.

One single soul saved shall outlive and outweigh all the kingdoms of the world.

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

If you want to find out how much someone loves you, find out how much they pray for you.

If you would train your children rightly, train them in the way they should go and not in the way they would.
