Heart Wrong in the Sight of God – J.C. Ryle
The wrong heart is now set before you. Look at it. Examine yourself. Perhaps your heart is unchanged, still just as it was when you were born. J.C. Ryle.

J.C. Ryle – A Right Heart
Heart in the Sight of God “Give me thy heart” Proverbs 23:26 “Thy heart is not right in the sight of God” Acts 8:21 The heart is the main thing in religion. I make no excuse for asking the special attention of my readers, while I try to say a few things about the heart. …
