How is it that many who profess and call themselves Christians, do so little for the Savior whose name they bear?

J. 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.

Tomorrow is the devil’s day, but today is God’s. Satan does not care how spiritual your intentions are, or how holy your resolutions, if only they are determined to be done tomorrow.

Let us resolve by God’s grace, that however poor and feeble our prayers may seem to be, we will pray on.
J. C. RYLE

Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. Look simply unto Jesus.

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.

Faith is to the soul what life is to the body. Prayer is to faith what breath is to the body. How a person can live and not breathe is past my comprehension, and how a person can believe and not pray is past my comprehension too.

Let your Christianity be so unmistakable, your eye so single, your heart so whole, your walk so straightforward, that all who see you may have no doubt whose you are, and whom you serve.

The blood of Christ can cleanse away all sin. But we must ‘plead guilty’ before God can declare us innocent.

The eye of God! Think of that. Everywhere, in every house, in every field, in every room, in every company, alone or in a crowd, the eye of God is always upon you.

There is a common, worldly kind of Christianity in this day, which many have, and think they have enough-a cheap Christianity which offends nobody, and requires no sacrifice-which costs nothing, and is worth nothing.
J. C. RYLE

Let it never surprise true Christians if they are slandered and misrepresented in this world. They must not expect to fare better than their Lord.
