It is neglect of the Bible which makes so many a prey to the first false teacher whom they hear.
J. C. RyleJesus hears us, and in His own good time will give an answer... He may sometimes keep us long waiting...but He will never send us empty away.
J. C. RyleIt is easy to criticize and find fault with the conduct of kings, and write furious articles against them in newspapers, or make violent speeches about them on platforms. Any fool can rip and rend a costly garment, but not every man can cut out and make one. To expect perfection in kings, prime ministers, or rulers of any king, is senseless and unreasonable. We would exhibit more wisdom if we prayed for them more, and criticized less.
J. C. RyleTrue faith will always show itself by its fruits . . . I suspect that, with rare exceptions, men die just as they have lived.
J. C. RyleSunday morning, before we go to hear the Word of God preached...let us not rush into Godโs presence careless, reckless, and unprepared, as if it mattered not in what way such work was done. Let us carry with us faith, reverence, and prayer. If these three are our companions, we will hear with profit, and return with praise.
