J. C. Ryle on Possessions

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Monday, April 30, 2018 at 7:47 AM

"The possession of the whole world and all that it contains would never make a person happy. Its pleasures are false and deceptive. Its riches, rank, and honors have no power to satisfy the heart. So long as we do not have them, they glitter and sparkle and seem desirable. The moment we have them, we find that they are empty bubbles and cannot make us content."
