How is it that many who profess and call themselves Christians, do so little for the Savior whose name they bear?
J. C. RyleNo one ever reached heaven without repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
J. C. RyleFaith 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.
J. C. RyleAmidst the flood of dangerous reading, I plead for my Master's book; I call upon you not to forget the book of the soul. Do not let newspapers, novels, and romances be read, while the prophets and Apostles be despised. Do not let the exciting and sensual swallow up your attention, while the edifying and the sanctifying can find no place in your mind.
J. C. Ryle
