John Piper Biography on J.C. Ryle
Besides providing J.C. Ryle’s quotes Monday-Friday, one of my main goals behind launching this site on August 1, 2009 was to provide a platform to introduce Ryle’s insightful quotes and encouraging books to as many folks as humanly possible. On that note, one of the most well known and respected evangelicals today is 65 year [...]
Thoroughly Acquainted With Hebrews
“Let us learn the high authority of the Bible, and the immense value of a knowledge of its contents. Let us read it, search into it, pray over it, diligently and with perseverance. Let us strive to be so thoroughly acquainted with its pages, that its text may abide in our memories, and stand ready [...]
Coming to Christ in Simple Faith
They that thirst and want to come to Christ must remember that simple faith is the one thing required. By all means let them come with a humble, broken, and contrite heart; but let them not dream of resting on that for acceptance. Faith is the only hand that can carry the living water to [...]
We Shall Thank God For Every Storm
“If we are true Christians, we must not expect everything smooth in our journey to heaven. We must count it no strange thing, if we have to endure sicknesses, losses, bereavements, and disappointments, just like other people. Free pardon and full forgiveness, grace by the way and glory to the end – all this our [...]
Come to Jesus
When a person turns to Christ empty—that they may be filled; sick—that they may be healed; hungry—that they may be satisfied; thirsty—that they may be refreshed; needy—that they may be enriched; dying—that they may have life; lost—that they may be saved; guilty—that they may be pardoned; sin-defiled—that they may be cleansed; confessing that Christ alone [...]
The Important Doctrine of Christ Crucified
Many thanks to Joshua Wallnofer for creating this brand new video of Ryle’s well known tract Christ Crucified. As with all of Joshua’s videos, he takes the time to add the text of Ryle’s writing and then reads it along with a well done photo slide, making for a enjoyable read while sipping on your [...]
The Results of a Cross-less Church
Whenever a Church keeps back Christ crucified, or puts anything whatsoever in that foremost place which Christ crucified should always have, from that moment a Church ceases to be useful. Without Christ crucified in her pulpits, a Church is little better than a dead carcass, a well without water, a barren fig-tree, a sleeping watchman, [...]
What the Bible Contains
The Bible: Pray it in. Read it through. Live it out. Pass it on. “The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. [...]
Just As I Am, Without One Plea
“When a professing Christian coolly tells me that he has got beyond such hymns as Just As I Am, and that they are ‘below his present experience’, though they suited him when he first took up Christianity, I must think his soul is in a very unhealthy state!” ~ J.C. Ryle Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, [...]
The Songs We Sing Make a Difference
Good hymns are an immense blessing to the Church of Christ. I believe the last day alone will show the world the real amount of good they have done. They suit all, both rich and poor. There is an elevating, stirring, soothing, spiritualizing, effect about a thoroughly good hymn, which nothing else can produce. It [...]
