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. They have been filled with trials, extensive work, countless readings, deep reflections, and fervent prayers. 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 ...

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 ...

In Expository Thoughts, J. C. Ryle intricately divides the Gospels into manageable sections of about twelve verses, highlighting two or three key insights for readers to reflect upon. At a time when detailed commentaries were plentiful, Ryle sought to create a resource tailored for the everyday Christian, perfect for family prayers, visiting the sick, or personal devotion for those with busy lives who cannot engage with lengthy texts. This volume is the second of two on St. Luke, complementing previous works on St. Matthew and St. Mark. Ryles heartfelt intention was to promote pure and ...

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 ...

Ryle presents this first volume on the Gospel of St. Matthew with a heartfelt ...

Explore the profound insights of Old Paths, a compelling work that delves into the essential truths of Christianity. Drawing inspiration from the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah, who speaks of the old paths as the way to find rest for our souls (Jer 66), Bishop Ryle penned this book during a time when many in the church were abandoning traditional evangelical beliefs for more liberal ideologies. 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 ...

In this final volume, I reflect on a journey that began sixteen years ago with the series Expository Thoughts on the Gospels. By the grace of God, this work is now complete, and for this, I am profoundly grateful. As Ecclesiastes reminds us, Better the end of a thing than the beginning of it (Eccles. vii. 8). With humble thankfulness, I present this effort to elucidate a remarkable portion of Gods revealed Scripture. I acknowledge my weaknesses in fully grasping even the simplest truths found within His word. I pray that God will bless this endeavor, forgive any shortcomings, and use it for ...

"True Christianity is a fight," wrote J. C. Ryle in 1877. He argued that from the day of their conversion until the day they die, Christians are called to be soldiers for Christ in a war for their holiness. This inspiring call to action written more than 100 years ago continues to be a source of great encouragement and inspiration for believers today.

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.

Although arguably one of the simplest aspects of Christianity, prayer is also perhaps the most neglected, overlooked, and malnourished part of the average Christian’s day and life. While praying quickly before food and with a congregation on Sunday and for an ailing relative may be common enough, J. C. Ryle truly, and with palpable heartfelt and genuine care, pushes those of faith to see their lack of serious prayer for the spiritual health crisis that it is.

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".

Many Christians still love to read the classic sermons and devotionals of the great 19th-century English preacher Charles H. Spurgeon. But there were many other Christian writers of the same era who also penned inspired devotionals. This collection of timeless treasures contains 100 classic devotionals from 23 inspired writers read for a modern audience by the unique and emotive voice of British narrator Christopher Glyn.

Using his own understanding and study of Scripture, J.C. Ryle consolidates, organizes, and explains this learned wisdom in The Duties of Parents. Broken up into 17 principles, perfect for devotional use, this resource provides advice, guidance, instruction, reminders, and tools for parents who desire to raise children who not only know God but who can also develop their own relationship with Him and live according to His Word. Preparing a Biblical foundation is the desire of all God-fearing parents, and Ryle’s words and Biblical insights help inspire and encourage this exact path.

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.

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.
