Let us cleave to Christ more closely, love Him more heartily, live to Him more thoroughly, copy Him more exactly, confess Him more boldly, and follow Him more fully.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us awake to a sense of the perilous state of many professing Christians. 'Without holiness no man shall see the Lord' without sanctification there is no salvation (Hebrews 12:14). Then what an enormous amount of so-called religion there is which is perfectly useless!

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.

The incorruptible things are all within the narrow gate. The peace of God which passed all understanding - the bright hope of good things to come - the sense of the Spirit dwelling in us - the consciousness that we are forgiven, safe, insured, provided for in time and eternity, whatever may happen - these are true gold, and lasting riches.

Churches may decay and perish riches may make themselves wings and fly away-but he who builds their happiness on Christ crucified and union with Him by faith, that person is standing on a foundation which shall never be moved, and will know something of true peace.

Image
The harvest of the Lord’s field is seldom ripened by sunshine only. It must go through its days of wind, rain and storm.
J. C. Ryle
Image
No prayers can be heard which do not come from a forgiving heart.
J. C. Ryle
Image
I am one of those old-fashioned ministers who believe the whole Bible and everything that it contains.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The person that goes regularly and intelligently to the Lord's Table finds it increasingly hard to yield to sin and conform to the world.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Millions of people profess and call themselves Christians, whom the Apostle Paul would not have called Christians at all.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Imagination is the hotbed where this sin is too often hatched. Guard your thoughts, and there will be little fear about your actions.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition. It can only be obtained by diligent, regular, daily, attentive reading.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Our prayers may be weak, stammering, and poor in our eyes. But if they come from a right heart, God understands them. Such prayers are His delight.

Image
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.

Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen.
