In Expository Thoughts, J. C. Ryle thoughtfully dissects the Gospels, breaking them into manageable sections of about twelve verses each.

Explore the profound insights of Old Paths, a compelling work that delves into the essential truths of Christianity.

Ryle passionately defended the timeless doctrines upheld by the early Christians and reformers, which were increasingly dismissed as outdated. He firmly believed that the world does not need a new ...

As I share this new collection of hymns, I feel compelled to offer a few thoughts on its purpose. This volume is not intended to be a comprehensive anthology of the finest English hymns. Instead, my primary focus has been on providing comfort for the ailing and spiritual nourishment for Christians in their private moments. I firmly believe that profound thoughts often linger in our memories as poetry, while prose may fade away. The hymns included in this collection cover a wide array of themes, specifically chosen to resonate with the hearts of all true Christians, regardless of their ...

With a deep sense of responsibility, I present this volume of commentary on the Gospel of St. John. This undertaking is not merely a supplement to the Expository Thoughts series; it is a comprehensive exploration that offers a thorough analysis of the text. In a time when doctrinal clarity is often overshadowed by vagueness, it is imperative for those who advocate for distinct and well-defined theology to demonstrate that their beliefs are solidly rooted in Scripture. I believe the Gospel of St. John, when rightly interpreted, serves as the clearest response to those who embrace a vague ...

Reflecting on the fourteen years since I embarked on the journey of exploring the Gospels, I sincerely hope these years have not been in vain.

With this volume, I am more convinced than ever that the so-called Evangelical views of Christian truth are profoundly rooted in Scripture and can withstand any fair examination. The longer I study, the more I believe that no theological system aligns so perfectly with the Bible as the one often referred to as Evangelical. I release this work ...

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.

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.

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.

Alcançar a simplicidade na pregação é de extrema importância a todos os ministros que desejam ser úteis às almas. A não ser que você seja simples em seus sermões você nunca vai ser entendido, e se não for compreendido, você não pode fazer o bem aos que lhe ouvem. O ditado de Quintiliano é verdadeiro: "Se você não anseia ser entendido, você é digno de ser esquecido". O primeiro objetivo de um ministro deve ser o de pregar a verdade, toda a verdade, e nada mais que "a verdade como ela é em Jesus".
