Christ is the light; without Him people are always in the
dark." ~ J.C. Ryle
“Steady, my boys, steady!”
Many years ago the most famous all male Ivy League Prep schools in England began a long and painful process of expelling one by one, students who were caught cheating in an infamous cheating ring. Famous fathers from all over Britannia were writing and wiring their sons indignant letters warning them of the shame and disgrace they would bring to their father’s name if they were one of the ones caught in the investigation. One trusting and upright father who was blessed to have an equally upright son, wired the lad four simple but sublime non-accusatory and words: “Steady, my boy, steady”.
Across our sector of Christendom panic is breaking out over those who are caught cheating. I speak to the myriad of upright and pure youth; I say to the pristine, moral majority, “Steady, my boys, steady”! “Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD...” (Psalm 24:3-5a).

talent. -Billy Sunday

the impossible." — C.T. Studd
No man was ever glorious who was not laborious. Benjamin Franklin
A wise man thinks all he says; a fool says all he thinks.
"Let us strive to realize every day our need of the
grace and presence of Christ. Without Him, we can do nothing at all." ~

If you think little of a person, you ought to say as little
as you think. –Benjamin Franklin
The true Christian delights to hear something about their
Master. They like those sermons best which are full of Christ." ~ J.C.

Better to
remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
