we must crucify our affections for this world

"We must cast away everything which hinders us upon our road towards heaven � the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life; the love of riches, pleasures and honors, the spirit of lukewarmness and carelessness and indifference about the things of God � ALL must be rooted out and forsaken if we are anxious for the prize. We must mortify the deeds of the body, we must crucify our affections for this world." ~ J.C. Ryle
