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.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The Christian who keeps his heart diligently in little things shall be kept from great falls.
J. C. Ryle
Image
We are all naturally self-righteous. It is the family disease of all the children of Adam.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Let us only take heed that this office of Christ is not set before us in vain. It will profit us nothing at the last day that Jesus was a Shepherd, if during our lifetime, we never heard His voice and followed Him. If we love life, let us join His flock without delay.
J. C. Ryle

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

What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.

A Christian is a walking sermon. They preach far more than a minister does, for they preach all week long.
J. C. Ryle
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.

Image
Prayer is the surest remedy against the devil and besetting sins.
J. C. Ryle
Image
If God has given His Son to die for us, let us beware of doubting His kindness and love in any painful providence of our daily life.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Never let us be guilty of sacrificing any portion of truth on the altar of peace.

No salvation without regeneration - no spiritual life without a new birth - no heaven without a new heart.

Image
Before Christ comes it is useless to expect to see a perfect Church.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Are you tempted? Look unto Jesus. Are you afflicted? Look unto Jesus. Do all speak evil of you? Look unto Jesus. Do you feel cold, dull, and backsliding? Look unto Jesus.
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?

Image
Whatever others around you think, don't you ever be ashamed of being a Christian.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Happiness does not depend on outward circumstances, but on the state of the heart.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The Bible in the pulpit must never supersede the Bible at home.
J. C. Ryle
Image
If Christianity is a mere invention of man, and the Bible is not from God, how can infidels explain Jesus Christ? His existence in history they cannot deny. How is it that without force or bribery, without arms or money, He has made such an immensely deep mark on the world as He certainly has?

The love of the Bible will show itself in a believer's actions.
