We live in an age when there is a false glare on the things of time and a great mist over the things of eternity.
J. C. RyleIf we would have good ministers, we must remember our Lordโs example, and pray for them. Their work is heavy. Their responsibility is enormous. Their strength is small. Let us see that we support them, and hold up their hands by our prayers.
J. C. RyleChildren are very quick observers; very quick in seeing through some kinds of hypocrisy, very quick in finding out what you really think and feel, very quick in adopting all your ways and opinions. You will often discover that, as the father is, so is the son.
J. C. RyleGood hymns are an immense blessing to the Church. They train people for heaven, where praise is one of the principal occupations.
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.
