J. C. Ryle Wicked Quotations

The hand of the wicked can't stir one moment before God allows them to begin, and...one moment after God commands them to stop.

However corrupt our hearts, and however wicked our past lives, there is hope for us in the Gospel.

God knew what we were before conversion - wicked, guilty, and defiled; yet He loved us. He knows what we will be after conversion - weak, erring, and frail; yet He loves us.
