Pondering #119

Pastor's Ponderings #119                                                                             1/25/12

Here is my next excerpt from the “Book of the Month” for January, Gospel-Powered Humility by William P. Farley.  At the beginning of the book, Farley quotes William Law in his book A Devout Call, written in the 1700’s:

Humility is so essential to the right state of our souls, that there is no pretending to a reasonable or pious life without it.  We may as well think to see without eyes, or live without breath, as to live in the spirit of religion without the spirit of humility.  And although it is thus the soul and essence of all religious duties, yet is it, generally speaking, the least understood, the least regarded, the least intended, the least desired and sought after, of all other virtues, amongst all sorts of Christians.

Pondering with you, and praying for a heart that understands, desires, and seeks after humility,
