A deep sense of sin, a humble willingness to be saved in God's way, a teachable readiness to give up our own prejudices when a more excellent way is shown, these are the principal things. These things the two disciples possessed, and therefore our Lord went with them and guided them into all truth.

We know nothing of humility by nature, for we are all born proud.
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.

I should as soon expect a farmer to prosper in business who contented himself with sowing his fields and never looking at them till harvest, as expect a believer to attain much holiness who was not diligent about his Bible reading, his prayers, and the use of his Sundays.

Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you.
J. C. Ryle
Image
I want people to fill their minds with passages of Scripture while they are well and strong, that they may have sure help in the day of need. I want them to be diligent in studying their Bibles, and becoming familiar with its contents, in order that the grand old Book may stand by them and talk with them when all earthly friends fail.

A zealous Savior ought to have zealous disciples.

Sin always seems 'good, and pleasant, and desirable,' at the time of commission.

If you want to warm a church, put a stove in the pulpit.

Image
The nearer we live to God while we live, the more ready we will be to dwell forever in His presence when we die.

Image
There is only one door, one bridge, one ladder, between earth and heaven - the crucified Son of God.

Image
Since Satan can't destroy the gospel, he has too often neutralized its usefulness by addition, subtraction or substitution.

Inability to distinguish doctrine is spreading far and wide, and so long as the preacher is clever and earnest, hundreds seem to think it must be all right, and call you dreadfully narrow and uncharitable if you hint that he is unsound!
