How was the Bible written?—“Whence is it? From heaven, or of men?”—Had the writers of the Bible any special or peculiar help in doing their work?—Is there anything in the Bible which makes it unlike all other books, and therefore demands our respectful attention?—These are questions of vast importance. They are questions to which I wish to offer an answer in this volume. To speak plainly, the subject I propose to examine is that deep one, the inspiration of Scripture. I believe the Bible to have been written by inspira¬tion of God, and I want others to be of the same belief. ...

Are you indeed alive unto God? Can you say with truth, “I was dead and am alive again; I was blind, but now I see”? Then accept this word of exhortation and lean your heart toward wisdom.

Beloved Children, A Bible text stands at the top of this page. I should like you to read it twice over. I am going to tell you something which, I hope, will make you remember that text as long as you live. ¬I am going to tell you about three places of which the Bible says a great deal. It matters little what we know about some places. But it matters much to know something about the three places of which I am now going to speak. I. Firstly, — There is a place where there is a great deal of crying. II. Secondly, — There is a place where there is nothing else but crying. III. Thirdly, —...

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”—ACTS. iv. 12. THESE words are striking in themselves. But they are much more striking if you consider when and by whom they were spoken. They were spoken by a poor and friendless Christian, in the midst of a persecuting Jewish Council. It was a grand confession of Christ. They were spoken by the lips of the Apostle Peter. This is the man who, a few weeks before, forsook Jesus and fled: this is the very man who three times over denied his Lord. There is ...

I HAVE read this little Catechism with much pleasure, and think it deserves to be extensively circulated. It is an admirable compendium of Scriptural information on the Sabbath question, well digested, and arranged in a most simple form. May He who is the Lord of the Sabbath vouchsafe to it an abundant blessing. J. C. RYLE

“Hear the Word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar of, and say, He that scat-tered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.” JEREMIAH XXXI. 10. THE text which heads this page is singularly full and comprehensive. It contains both history and prophecy.—It speaks of the scattering of Israel; this is history.—It speaks of the gathering of Israel; this is prophecy.—It demands the attention both of the Jew and the Gentile. To the Jew it holds out a hope;—“Israel,” it says, “shall be gathered.” On the Gentile it lays a command...

Reader, There is hardly any subject in religion which is so much misunderstood as the subject of the “Church.” There is probably no misunderstanding which has done more harm to professing Chris-tians than the misunderstanding of this subject. There is hardly any word which is used in such a variety of meanings, as the word “Church.” It is a word that we hear constantly used, and yet we cannot help observing that different people use it in different senses. The English politician in our days talks of “the Church.” What does he mean? You will generally find he means the Episcopal ...

Written truly for everyone, Rich and Poor, speaks to the temptations and benefits of both those who have everything and those who struggle to have anything. Neither the wealthy nor the impoverished are loved less by God or placed on this Earth by accident. Stressing the importance of putting hope and trust in God over becoming engrossed in one’s circumstances, Ryle goes over the potential dangers of either situation. Striving to gain more wealth, becoming prideful, entitled, or jealous can tempt anyone and can ultimately lead to losing sight of God’s aim for his children’s lives.

This inspiring sermon by J.C. Ryle encourages Christians to remain steadfast and active in their faith while waiting for Christ’s return. Drawing from the infamous biblical parable of the three men who are given talents to invest while their master is away, Ryle urges Christians to use their gifts to serve the kingdom and to advance the message of the Gospel. Criticizing an inactive approach to Christianity, Ryle expects Christians to put away laziness, keeping the impending return of the King at the forefront of their minds.

The Holy Spirit might seem like a rather vague and complicated subject. Anywhere we encounter the spirit in the Bible, it is presented as a force present during moments of great importance. Ryle expands on the importance and necessity of The Holy Spirit in man’s road to redemption.

I want to tell you what perhaps the greatest Christian who ever lived (the Apostle Paul) thought of the cross of Christ. Believe me, the cross is of deepest importance. This is no mere question of controversy; this is not one of those points on which men may agree to differ and feel that differences will not shut them out of heaven.

Eu tenho uma pergunta para lhe fazer. Ela é composta de duas palavras: VOCÊ ORA?A questão é que ninguém pode responder a esta pergunta por você. Se você assistiu ao culto público ou não, o seu pastor sabe. Se você faz orações familiares em sua casa ou não, seus parentes sabem. Mas se você ora em secreto ou não, é um assunto apenas entre você e Deus. Vivemos em dias de abundante profissão religiosa. Há mais lugares de culto público agora do que jamais houve. Há mais pessoas frequentando-os do que em qualquer outro momento anterior.

A widely known preacher in both England and America in the mid-eighteenth century, George Whitefield’s influence has since been buried by those influential men in his time who found his teachings too emotional and experiential. J. C. Ryle seeks to undo that injustice in this work. Laying out in simple and factual ways Whitefield’s life, beliefs, works, and sermons, Ryle encourages a further study of this great Christian man. This biography not only serves to present Whitefield in a more fair light, but also encourages reflection on one’s own Christian walk.

JC Ryle states that of all the Christian concepts, the Lord’s Supper might be the most misunderstood. Christ said, "eat, drink: do this in remembrance of me." But Ryle explains that not all of us can be invited to the table and that only those with true faith and a true heart can do so in full understanding of its significance.

Biblical, Timeless, Practical Advice for Young Men *Top 100 Amazon Best Seller* Named one of the “20 Best Christian Books for Men” by TheBlazingCenter.com. “J. C. Ryle [was] one of the most respected figures in the entire history of Evangelical Christianity” -- R. Albert Mohler Jr., president, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. What if we knew the solution to most of the problems within the church and the world -- but did little to nothing about it? Pastor and author J.C. Ryle (1816-1900) asked a similar question more than a century ago in Thoughts for Young Men as he ...

Do you see the question which stands at the head of this page? It is just possible you may not understand its meaning. Perhaps you may think, “Whom have I injured? Whom have I defrauded? Whom have I wronged? Whose confidence have I forfeited? What need have I of forgiveness?” I answer, it is not an earthly forgiveness I am asking about, but a heavenly one. I do not inquire whether you are forgiven in the sight of men, but whether you are forgiven in the sight of God. The question I desire to press home on your conscience is simply this, “Are you a pardoned soul?” Come now, and give ...

An encouragement to longtime Christians and first time believers of the gospel alike, What Is Your Hope? urges a reexamination of what it means to hope and of where that hope is placed. For a Christian, Ryle states that hope is not a fickle or weak thing, it is complete assurance, as it is based on an unchanging, perfect God. Ryle details how fully placing one’s hope in Christ brings unparalleled peace, strength, joy, and comfort. He also emphasizes the importance of being sure not to stray or lean on any other foundation, as that will inevitably prove unreliable and dangerous to the soul.
