March Check-In

What Bible(s) did I read from this month? I FINISHED the NASB Bible. I've started the NLT Beyond Suffering Bible.
How many books by J.C. Ryle did I read this month? 0. But I have been reading his OLD PATHS.
Favorite quote(s) by J.C. Ryle:

• Never, never let us be content with anything short of a saving religion. Surely to be satisfied with a religion which neither gives peace in life, nor hope in death, nor glory in the world to come, is childish folly.

Am I keeping up with my Morning and Evening devotional by Charles Spurgeon? Mostly.

Favorite quote(s) by Charles Spurgeon:

• You can trace the beginning of human affection; you can easily find the beginning of your love to Christ—but His love to us is a stream whose source is hidden in eternity. God the Father loves Jesus without any change. Christian, take this for your comfort, that there is no change in Jesus Christ’s love—to those who rest in Him.

How many books by R.C. Sproul did I read this month? 2
Favorite quote(s) by R.C. Sproul:

Actually, one of the most dangerous things we can do as Christians is to determine our theology by our experience, because no one’s experience is normative for the Christian life. We have to determine our theology from the Word of God, not from what we feel.
