“Be filled with the Spirit. Seek to be more and more under His blessed influence. Strive to have every thought, word, action, and habit brought under the obedience to the leading of the Holy Ghost. Grieve Him not by inconsistencies and conformity to the world. Quench Him not by trifling with little infirmities and small besetting sins. Seek rather to have Him ruling and reigning more completely over you every week that you live.”
~ J.C. Ryle

I am so glad I found your site, thanks for posting the inspiration of Pastor Ryle. I especially appreciate his words today about “every thought, word, action, and habit”
Striving towards the new man,
