Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.
J. C. RyleBeware of self-righteousness in every possible shape and form. Some people get as much harm from their "virtues" as others do from their sins.
J. C. RyleLet us seek friends that will stir up our prayers, our Bible reading, our use of time, and our salvation.
J. C. RyleA saved soul has many sorrows. They have their share of bereavements, deaths, disappointments , crosses. What shall enable a believer to bear all this? Nothing but the consolation there is in Christ.
J. C. RyleThe cross is the foundation of the Bible: If you have not yet found out that Christ crucified is the foundation of the whole volume, you have hitherto read your Bible to very little profit. Your religion is a heaven without a sun, an arch without a keystone, a compass without a needle, a clock without a spring or weights, a lamp without oil. It will not comfort you; it will not deliver your soul from hell.
J. C. Ryle
