JC Ryle states that of all the Christian concepts, the Lord’s Supper might be the most misunderstood. Christ said, "eat, drink: do this in remembrance of me." But Ryle explains that not all of us can be invited to the table and that only those with true faith and a true heart can do so in full understanding of its significance.

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.

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.

I want to tell you what perhaps the greatest Christian who ever lived (the Apostle Paul) thought of the cross of Christ. Believe me, the cross is of deepest importance. This is no mere question of controversy; this is not one of those points on which men may agree to differ and feel that differences will not shut them out of heaven.

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".

In a day of religious controversy, no one is so useful to his generation as the man who contributes a little “light.” Amidst the din and strife of ecclesiastical warfare, amidst the fog and dust stirred up by excited disputants, amidst assertions and counter-assertions, a thinking man will often cry with the dying philosopher,—“I want more light: give me more light.” He that can make two ears of corn grow where one grew before, has been rightly called a benefactor to mankind. He that can throw a few rays of fresh light on the theological questions of the day, is surely doing a ...

THE title of this tract is an Apostolic caution against false doctrine. It forms part of a warning which St. Paul addressed to Hebrew Christians. It is a caution just as much needed now as it was eighteen hundred years ago. Never, I think, was it so important for Christian ministers to cry aloud continually, “Be not carried about.” That old enemy of mankind, the devil, has no more subtle device for ruining souls than that of spreading false doctrine. “A murderer and a liar from the beginning,” he never ceases going to and fro in the earth, seeking whom he may devour. Outside the ...

Dear Children, I am going to talk to you about Jesus Christ, and your souls. I want to make you happy. But I know that people are never really happy unless their souls are happy; and I am sure that people’s souls cannot be happy, unless they love Jesus Christ. And that is the reason why I am going to preach to you now: I want to tell you something about Jesus Christ and your souls. Dear children, I hope you will all attend, while I talk to you. I pray that the Spirit of God may come into your hearts, and make you able to do so. Try to listen to me. Try to understand what I say. Try to ...

“Hear the Word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar of, and say, He that scat-tered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.” JEREMIAH XXXI. 10. THE text which heads this page is singularly full and comprehensive. It contains both history and prophecy.—It speaks of the scattering of Israel; this is history.—It speaks of the gathering of Israel; this is prophecy.—It demands the attention both of the Jew and the Gentile. To the Jew it holds out a hope;—“Israel,” it says, “shall be gathered.” On the Gentile it lays a command...

READER, Christmas is a season which almost all Christians observe in one way or another. Some keep it as a religious season. Some keep it as a holiday. But all over the world, wherever there are Christians, in one way or another Christmas is kept. Perhaps there is no country in which Christmas is so much observed as it is in England. Christmas holidays, Christmas parties, Christmas family-gatherings, Christmas services in churches, Christmas hymns and carols, Christmas holly and mistletoe,—who has not heard of these things? They are as familiar to English people as anything in their lives...

You probably know the story of St. Paul’s shipwreck. (Acts 28) You remember how the apostle and his companions were exceedingly tossed with a tempest for thirteen days. Neither sun nor stars in many days appeared. All hope that they should be saved was taken away. But do you recollect that when the fourteenth night was come, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country? They sounded and found it twenty fathoms. When they had gone a little further they sounded again and found it fifteen fathoms. Then fearing lest they should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four ...

Do you see the question which stands at the head of this page? It is just possible you may not understand its meaning. Perhaps you may think, “Whom have I injured? Whom have I defrauded? Whom have I wronged? Whose confidence have I forfeited? What need have I of forgiveness?” I answer, it is not an earthly forgiveness I am asking about, but a heavenly one. I do not inquire whether you are forgiven in the sight of men, but whether you are forgiven in the sight of God. The question I desire to press home on your conscience is simply this, “Are you a pardoned soul?” Come now, and give ...

I HAVE read this little Catechism with much pleasure, and think it deserves to be extensively circulated. It is an admirable compendium of Scriptural information on the Sabbath question, well digested, and arranged in a most simple form. May He who is the Lord of the Sabbath vouchsafe to it an abundant blessing. J. C. RYLE
