Deleting this app off my phone, which means the likelihood of you seeing anything from me in the future is slim.
A few things to think about while I’m gone:
1 John 2:6
Eph. 4:1, 29-32
Titus 3:2
1 Peter 1:15
“…feelings in religion are worse than worthless, unless they are accompanied by practice. Mere sentimental excitement, without thorough breaking off from sin, is not the repentance which God approves.”
- J.C. Ryle, “Repentance”
Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture.
It is the habit of agreeing in God’s judgment—hating what He hates—loving what He loves—and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word.
-J. C. Ryle
“Good sermons not only inform the mind with sound doctrine but also stir up the affections. They turn the will away from sin and toward loving God and one’s neighbor.”
- Joel Beeke
Sound protestant and evangelical doctrine is useless if it is not accompanied by a holy life. It is worse than useless: it does positive harm. It is despised by keen-sighted and shrewd men of the world, as an unreal and hollow thing, and brings religion into contempt.
-J. C. Ryle
For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? For what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
- Mark 8:36-37
Serious words to ponder.
