Deliver Us From Pantheism
I feel it a duty to bear my solemn testimony against the spirit of the day we live in, to warn men against its infection. It is not Atheism I fear so much, in the present times, as Pantheism. It is not the system which says nothing is true, so much as the system which [...]

J.C. Ryle Testimonial Page
Since launching this J.C. Ryle Quotes site in August 2009, I have received countless emails from folks who have been blessed and encouraged by the writings of John Charles Ryle in their Christian walk. This always puts a huge smile on my face. So, with the prodding of my friend Matthew Blair over The Octavius [...]
The State of Our Soul on Sunday
Let us never forget that our feelings about Sundays are sure tests of the state of our souls. The person who can find no pleasure in giving God one day in the week, is manifestly unfit for heaven. Heaven itself is nothing but an eternal Sabbath. If we cannot enjoy a few hours in God’s [...]

Our Faithful Savior
Let us ever bless God that the Gospel sets before us such a Savior, so faithful to the terms of the covenant–so ready to suffer–so willing to be reckoned sin and a curse in our stead. Let us not doubt that He who fulfilled his engagement to suffer, will also fulfill His engagement to save [...]
The Double Nature Christian
There is a double nature in all believers. Converted, renewed, sanctified as they are, they still carry about with them a mass of indwelling corruption, a body of sin. Paul speaks of this when he says, “I find a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in [...]
