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
Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.

Next to praying there is nothing so important in practical religion as Bible-reading.
J. C. Ryle
Image
No doubt men may easily think too little of God the Father, and God the Spirit, but no man ever thought too much of Christ.
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
A sin...consists in doing, saying, thinking, or imagining anything that is not in perfect conformity with the mind and law of God

Your trials, crosses, and conflicts are all temporary.
