John Owen

Leanness of body and soul may go together.

The vigor and power and comfort of our spiritual life depends on our mortification of deeds of the flesh.

Temptation is like a knife, that may either cut the meat or the throat of a man; it may be his food or his poison, his exercise or his destruction.

In the divine Scriptures, there are shallows and there are deeps; shallows where the lamb may wade, and deeps where the elephant may swim.

After hearing the evidence, I will record a verdict of natural causes.

Do you mortify? Do you make it your daily work? Be always at it whilst you live; cease not a day from this work; be killing sin or it will be killing you.
