Do nothing that you would not like God to see. Say nothing that you would not like God to hear. Write nothing that you would not like God to read. Go no place where you would not like God to find you. Read no book of which you would not like God to say, "show it to Me."
Never spend your time in such a way that you would not like to have God say, "What are you doing?"*
Bishop J.C. Ryle (1816-1900).
* The above confirms the timeless advice of this long departed saint, does it not? for in our present age the masses (professing Christians among them?) ever seem to be on their lap-tops, hand-held devices, touch-phones etc. I wonder; how much of what is transmitted and received on all this 'modern' technology today is truly God honouring? As for me, I think very little.
