J.C. Ryle Gems #6
~ ~ ~ ~
Blessed are those who live like pilgrims and strangers in this life–their best things are all to come!
~ ~ ~ ~
The surest mark of true conversion, is humility.
~ ~ ~ ~
When I speak of a man growing in grace, I mean simply that . . .
his sense of sin is becoming deeper,
his faith is becoming stronger,
his hope is becoming brighter,
his love is becoming more extensive, and
his spiritual-mindedness is becoming more marked.
~ ~ ~ ~
The Christian who keeps his heart diligently in little things–shall be kept from great falls.

Fathers and mothers–do not forget that children learn more by the eye than they do by the ear.
Imitation is a far stronger principle with children, than memory.
What they see has a much stronger effect on their minds–than what they are told.
~ ~ ~ ~
Let us read the Bible reverently and diligently–with an honest determination to believe and practice all that we find in it.
~ ~ ~ ~
Every fresh act of sin . . .
lessens fear and remorse,
hardens our hearts,
blunts the edge of our conscience,
and increases our evil inclination!

We may love money without having it–just as we may have money without loving it.
