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".

O nome do tratado diante de você é curto, mas o assunto que esse título revela é profundamente importante. É a primeira palavra de um texto das Escrituras que merece ser escrito em letras de ouro. Há um convite que exige atenção todos os dias do ano: esse convite é aquele que eu trago para você neste dia. Pode ser diferente de todos os que você já recebeu; mas é de importância indescritível: diz respeito à felicidade eterna da sua alma.

Leitor, Eu tomo como certo que você acredita no Espírito Santo. A maioria das pessoas foi batizada no Nome do Pai e do Filho e do Espírito Santo. Muitos foram ensinados a repetir a Crença, ou Credo dos Apóstolos, desde a sua juventude. Seus lábios provavelmente já tenham dito umas mil vezes as solenes palavras: "Eu creio no Espírito Santo". Mas apesar de tudo isso, eu desejo que você considere bem o que sabe sobre o Espírito Santo além do Seu nome.

Vivemos dias em que há um poderoso entusiasmo pela educação em cada canto. Ouvimos falar de novas escolas surgindo por todos os lados. Somos informados sobre novos sistemas e novos livros para os jovens, de todo tipo e descrição. E, ainda assim, com tudo isso, a grande maioria das crianças, claramente, não são educadas no caminho em que devem andar; assim, quando crescem até a estatura de um homem, elas não andam com Deus. Agora, como vamos explicar o estado dessas coisas?

Dont let anyone convince you that youre too young to serve God. Thats simply not true! As soon as you understand right from wrong, you are ready to choose the right path. The moment youre accountable for your actions, youre also ready to give your heart to God and follow Christ. Rev. Ryle speaks directly to children of all ages, using simple language to impart profound spiritual truths. He encourages even the youngest among us to embrace the teachings of Jesus and strive for a better life by following His example—lessons that resonate with adults, too. (Introduction by MaryAnn)

In a turbulent era for the Church of England, Ryle emerged as the first Anglican bishop of Liverpool, championing the evangelical movement while challenging the rise of Ritualism. A prolific writer, pastor, and dynamic preacher, Ryle authored notable works such as Christian Leaders of the Eighteenth Century (1869) and Expository Thoughts on the Gospels (1856–69). Renowned for his commanding presence and unwavering commitment to his beliefs, he conveyed his principles with both vigor and warmth. Join us as we explore the life and legacy of this remarkable figure. (Summary by Tim Cote)

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.

The 19th century was an age that witnessed great progress in many areas of exploration and learning. However, according to J. C. Ryle, it was an age of great ignorance too. What particularly distressed Ryle was the scant knowledge of the English Reformation evident amongst his contemporaries. In this lay a grave danger: one of the reasons so many congregations drift from their evangelical foundations is their sheer ignorance of Christian history, and their lack of understanding of the major doctrinal controversies and why they matter.

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.

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In Expository Thoughts, J. C. Ryle thoughtfully breaks down the Gospels into manageable sections of about twelve verses each, highlighting two or three key insights for reflection. At a time when detailed commentaries were abundant, Ryle sought to provide a practical resource for everyday believers. His work serves as a guide for family prayers, a comforting companion for those visiting the sick, and a valuable tool for private devotions for those whose busy lives prevent them from engaging with larger commentaries. Ryle presents this first volume on the Gospel of St. Matthew with a heartfelt ...

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 ...

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 ...
