  • Thoughts For Young Men

    J. C. Ryle

    eBook (Prisbrary Publishing, July 17, 2012)
    ▶ DESCRIPTIONI am growing old myself, but there are few things that I can remember so well as were the days of my youth. I have a most distinct recollection of the joys and the sorrows, the hopes and the fears, the temptations and the difficulties, the mistaken judgments and the misplaced affections, the errors and the aspirations, which surround and accompany a young man's life. If I can only say something to keep some young man walking in the right way, and preserve him from faults and sins, which may hurt his prospects both for time and eternity, I shall be very thankful. There are four things which I propose to do:I. I will mention some general REASONS why young men need exhorting.II. I will note some special DANGERS which young men need to be warned about.III. I will give some general COUNSEL which I beg young men to receive.IV. I will set down some special RULES OF CONDUCT which I strongly advise young men to follow.On each of these four points I have something to say, and I pray to God that what I say may do good to some soul.▶ CONTENTS1. Introduction2. Reasons for Exhorting Young Men3. Dangers of Young Men4. General Counsels to Young Men5. Special Rules for Young Men6. Conclusion7. Other Books▶ AUTHORRyle was a strong supporter of the evangelical school and a critic of Ritualism. He was a writer, pastor and an evangelical preacher. Among his longer works are Christian Leaders of the Eighteenth Century (1869), Expository Thoughts on the Gospels (7 vols, 1856–69), Principles for Churchmen (1884).

  • The Two Bears and Other Sermons for Children

    J.C. Ryle

    eBook
    J.C. Ryle (1816-1900) was the first Anglican Bishop of Liverpool, a frank and manly expositor of the Bible and a plain preacher of the Gospel. Ryle deliberately eschewed an elegant style in favour of direct, simple, clear speaking. Nowhere is this seen more clearly in this collection of his sermons to children.The titles of his talks include:—The Two Bears—Children Walking in Truth—Little and Wise—No More Crying!—The Happy Little Girl—Seeking the Lord Early"If you would go to Heaven—you must have your sins forgiven, and your hearts made new and good. There is only One who can do this for you. That one is the Lord Jesus Christ. God has appointed Him to be the Friend of sinners. He can wash away your sins in His own precious blood. He can make your hearts new by putting the Holy Spirit in them. Jesus is the Way and the Door into Heaven. He has the key to Heaven in His hand. Children, if you want to go to Heaven, you must ask Jesus Christ to let you in.Ask Jesus in prayer to get ready a place for you in that world where there is no "crying." Ask Him to put your name in His book of life and to make you one of His people. Ask Him to cleanse you from all your sins, and to put the Holy Spirit in your heart. Ask Him to give you power to fight His battle against sin, the world, and the devil. Ask Him to give you grace to make you good while you are young, and good when you grow up, that so you may be safe while you live, and happy forever when you die.Children, Jesus Christ is ready to do all this, if you will only ask Him. He has done it for many people already. He is waiting to do it for you at this very time. Do not be afraid to ask Him. Tell Him you have heard that He was very kind to people when He was on earth, and ask Him to be kind to you. Remind Him how kind He was to the poor dying thief on the cross. Say to Him, "Lord Jesus, remember me; I want to go to Heaven. Lord, think upon me. Lord, give me the Holy Spirit. Lord, pardon my sins, and give me a new heart. Lord Jesus, save me!"

  • Heaven: Priceless Encouragements on the Way to our Eternal Home

    J C Ryle

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Jan. 1, 2015)
    John Charles Ryle (1816-1900) was a prolific writer, a faithful pastor, and a dynamic preacher. This collection of sermons and tracts come from a variety of sources some of which are not quickly accessible. Some of the chapters in this book have been published as tracts. These are rare, short "Helmingham Series" tracts were first published about the middle of the last century, while J. C. Ryle was a Rector at Helmingham, Suffolk. Some of these chapters are sermons on the topic of Heaven. J.C. Ryle offers very practical counsel that is helpful in our pilgrim journey. Most of these sermons were written after losing a loved one. J.C. Ryle was widowed three times (Matilda died in 1847; Jessie died in 1860; Henrietta died in 1889) May the Lord use these sermons and tracts for the comfort of God’s people. Personally I have found them helpful for those who are nearing the end of their earthly pilgrimage.
