Our Lord has many weak children in his family, many dull pupils in his school, many raw soldiers in his army, many lame sheep in his flock. Yet he bears with them all, and casts none away. Happy is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren.

Let us beware of repentance without evidence.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Better to confess Christ 1000 times now and be despised by men, than be disowned by Christ before God on the day of Judgment.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle No time is so well spent in every day as that which we spend upon our knees.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Laughter, ridicule, opposition, persecution, are often the only reward which Christ’s followers get from the world.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Beware of letting small faults pass unnoticed under the idea it is a little one. There are no little things in training children; all are important. Little weeds need plucking up as much as any. Leave them alone and they will soon be great.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle It must not content us to take our bodies to church if we leave our hearts at home.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle The love of Christ towards His people is a deep well which has no bottom.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Wherever we may be, or whatever our circumstances, the Lord Jesus sees them. We are never beyond the reach of His care.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle The Lord Jesus is “a friend who never changes.” There is no fickleness about Him: those whom He loves, He loves to the end.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle 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. RyleJ. C. Ryle To say that we are sorry for our sins is mere hypocrisy, unless we show that we are really sorry for them, by giving them up. Doing is the very life of repentance.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle A religion that costs nothing is worth nothing. A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Live as if you thought that Christ might come at any time.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Let us be very careful that we never exalt any minister, or sermon, or book, or friend above the Word of God.
