Good morning,
Our walk with God can be strengthened by these gems from J.C. Ryle.
J.C. Ryle Gems #7
~ ~ ~ ~
Nothing so hardens the heart of man–as a barren familiarity with sacred things.
~ ~ ~ ~
Love should be the silver thread that runs through all your conduct!
~ ~ ~ ~
Sicknesses, losses, crosses, anxieties and disappointments–are absolutely needful to keep us humble, watchful and spiritually-minded. They are as needful as the pruning knife to the vine–and the refiner’s furnace to the gold.
~ ~ ~ ~
Surely it is better to enter into eternal life with a few–than to go to Hell with a great company!
~ ~ ~ ~
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!
~ ~ ~ ~
The love of Christ towards His people–is a deep well which has no bottom!
~ ~ ~ ~
Let us daily strive to copy our Savior’s humility.
~ ~ ~ ~
Imagination is the hotbed where sin is too often hatched.
Guard your thoughts–and there will be little fear about your actions.
~ ~ ~ ~
The eye of God! Think of that. Everywhere, in every house, in every field, in every room, in every company, alone or in a crowd–the eye of God is always upon you!
