Let us never measure our religion by that of others, and think we are doing enough if we have gone beyond our neighbors.
J. C. RyleSurely if there be any habit which your own hand and eye should help in forming, it is the habit of prayer.
J. C. RyleLaughter, ridicule, opposition, persecution, are often the only reward which Christ's followers get from the world.
J. C. RyleNext to praying there is nothing so important in practical religion as Bible reading. By reading that book we may learn what to believe, what to be, and what to do; how to live with comfort, and how to die in peace.” Happy is that man who possesses a Bible! Happier still is he who reads it! Happiest of all is he who not only reads it, but obeys it, and makes it the rule of his faith and practice!
J. C. RyleJust as the telescope and microscope show us that there is order and design in all the works of God's hand, from the greatest planet down to the least insect, so does the Bible teach us that there is wisdom, order, and design in all the events of our daily life. There is no such thing as 'chance', 'luck', or 'accident' in the Christian journey through this world.
