“On Christ’s glory I would fix all my thoughts and desires, and the more I see of the glory of Christ, the more the painted beauties of this world will wither in my eyes and I will be more and more crucified to this world. It will become to me like something dead and putrid, impossible for me to enjoy.”
John Owen, The Glory of Christ

John Owen, The Mortification of Sin

“There is no broader way to apostasy than to reject God’s sovereignty in all things concerning the revelation of himself and our obedience...”
