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.

The Holy Spirit might seem like a rather vague and complicated subject. Anywhere we encounter the spirit in the Bible, it is presented as a force present during moments of great importance. Ryle expands on the importance and necessity of The Holy Spirit in man’s road to redemption.

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?

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 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.

Renowned for his commanding presence and unwavering commitment to his beliefs, he conveyed his principles with both vigor and warmth.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Join J.C. Ryle as he explains the benefits of reading (and rereading) the Bible, and find inspiration for your daily devotions in this classic work.

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.

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.

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.

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.
