J. C. Ryle Doctrine Quotations

The doctrine of Christ crucified is the strength of a Minister. I, for one, would not be without it for all the world.

Of all the doctrines of the Bible none is so offensive to human nature as the doctrine of God's sovereignty.

Doctrine is useless if it is not accompanied by a holy life. It is worse than useless; it does positive harm. Something of 'the image of Christ' must be seen and observed by others in our private life, and habits, and character, and doings.

What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.

We should no more tolerate false doctrine that we would tolerate sin.
