Words of Holiness

Occasionally, I will post something I discover about J.C. Ryle on the weekend (other than a Ryle quote) for your enjoyment.

Below is a ‘wordle’ (word cloud) from the first chapter of Ryle’s fantastic book entitled Holiness. Can you guess the chapter title? ;)

  1. The first chapter to Ryle’s book on Holiness is simply one word: ‘Sin’.

    The first paragraph is a masterful quote by Ryle:

    “He who wishes to attain right views about Christian holiness must begin by examining the vast and solemn subject of sin. He must dig down very low if he would build high. A mistake here is most mischievous. Wrong views about holiness are generally traceable to wrong views about human corruption.”

  2. Could I snag your wordle?

    Feel free to turn me down. You can turn me down with impunity!

    I just thought that using something without permission (I’ve heard some refer to this as “stealing”) when that something is in reference to the holiness of God…well, it had a certain unpleasantness about it.

    In the meantime, I’ll snag a graphic from an old book that I found on another site.

    Hey, I’m a work in progress.
