How many books by J.C. Ryle did I read this month? I didn't read any book-books. But I've been reading from a collection of sermons. I read at least three or four Ryle sermons.
Favorite quote(s) by J.C. Ryle:
- Did God create man at the beginning to be unhappy? Most certainly not. Are human governments to blame because people are not happy? At most to a very slight extent. The fault lies far too deep to be reached by human laws. There is another cause, a cause which many unhappily refuse to see. THAT CAUSE IS SIN.
Favorite quote(s) by Charles Spurgeon:
- “He has said” must be our daily resort.
- Moses and the Burning Bush. R.C. Sproul. 2018. Reformation Trust. 103 pages. [Source: Review copy]
Favorite quote(s) by R.C. Sproul:
Why does someone worship God? Why give to Him reverence and adoration that is different from any esteem that might be given to anything in the created world? It’s easy to love God, be grateful to Him, and worship Him because of the wonderful things He’s done in history, and in our own personal histories—but a Christian’s reverence for God doesn’t rise to true worship until that Christian worships God not for what He has done but for who He is in His transcendent majesty.Did I read any Puritans or Reformers this month: YES. I read Richard Sibbes!
- The Soul's Conflict with Itself and Victory Over Itself By Faith. Richard Sibbes. 1635. 328 pages. [Source: Bought]
It is our chief wisdom to know him, our holiness to love him, our happiness to enjoy him. There is in him to be had whatsoever can truly make us happy. We go to our treasure and our portion in all our wants; we live by it and value ourselves by it.Did I complete at least one book from the TBR Pile challenge? Which one?
