A Series by J.C. Ryle
Excerpt From:
Holiness:
Its Nature,
Hindrances, Difficulties And Roots
A holy man will
endeavor to shun every known sin and to keep every known commandment. He will
have a decided bent of mind towards God, a hearty desire to do His will, a
greater fear of displeasing Him than of displeasing the world, and a love to
all His ways. He will feel what Paul felt when he said:
"I delight in
the law of God after the inward man" (Rom 7:22)
and what David felt
when he said,
"I esteem all
Thy precepts concerning all things to be right, and I hate every false
way" (Psa 119:128).

RULES OF THE ROAD:
1)The Names and Titles of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior will be respected at all times.
2) Discussion is encouraged, however, respect for other people and their opinions is the rule---play nice.
3) No profanity, allusions, innuendos or just plain nastiness will be tolerated. Decency WILL prevail.
This is MY house and YOU are a guest here and differences of opinion will be tolerated as long as you conduct yourself accordingly. If "the exercise of civility is beyond your ability" or you were never taught by your parents, feel free to take your toys and go home and vent your pent-up anger elsewhere.
