Good morning,
This week we will look at devotions by J.C. Ryle.
Pithy gems from J.C. Ryle #2
Pride is the oldest and most common of sins.
Humility is the rarest and most beautiful of graces.

Look to the cross, think of the cross, meditate on the cross–and then go and set your affections on the world if you can!
~ ~ ~ ~
A crucified Savior will never be content to have a self-pleasing, self-indulging, worldly-minded people!
~ ~ ~ ~
The Gospel was not meant merely to reside in our intellect, memories, and tongues–but to be seen in our lives.
~ ~ ~ ~
Happiness and contentment do not depend on outward circumstances–but on the state of the heart.
~ ~ ~ ~
Health is a good thing; but sickness is far better–if it leads us to God.
