Thou great I Am, Fill my mind with elevation and grandeur at the thought of a Being... with whom one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day, A mighty God, who, amidst the lapse of worlds, and the revolutions of empires, feels no variableness, but is glorious in immortality. May I rejoice that, while men die, the ...

If the mark of Christian religion is not that which befriends the world to such a degree that it looks, talks, walks like the world and loves the things the world loves but rather one that esteems Christ, holiness and His gospel as more precious than all earthly and worldly comforts, then I would lament ...

Though Christians of all people are thought to be selfless, what a tragic fact it is that most of us are so consumed with self and confidence in our self-absorbed kingdoms! And we go on in our pitiable lives of melancholy and depression seeking for even a sliver of light to cling upon. But why ...

Woe to the believer who does not make mortification of sin his high priority in living. It is a betrayal of grace and a betrayal of the regenerating work of God and the atoning work accomplished by Christ to not submit oneself to this daily task of advancing in holiness and putting to death one's ...

It seems to be a common occurrence within the Christian world wherein bondage to different forms of sin is the mark of the faith of many. Though perhaps most don't have more pronounced besetting-sins as others the mere consideration of the thought that the majority of professors are in bondage to sin is very worrying. ...

How many of us often discount the value of prayer. The heart wanders off and gets entangled in trivial pursuits. The affections once closely bound to a desperate desire for communion with God are now fettered with mere trifles.Alas! how often do I see it in my own heart and life. We should not be ...

“The upright love thee”—Song of Solomon 1:4 Believers love Jesus with a deeper affection then they dare to give to any other being. They would sooner lose father and mother than part with Christ. They hold all earthly comforts with a loose hand, but they carry him fast locked in their bosoms. They voluntarily deny themselves ...

When God first comes to His people one of the things He calls them to consider is nature. The Lord Jesus Himself bids us to consider the created order and behold the manifold wisdom of God and the wonders of His grace. He asks us to consider the birds of the air that they neither ...

“All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.”—Romans 8:28Begone unbelief, my Savior is near, And for my relief will surely appear: By prayer let me wrestle, and He wilt perform, With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm.Though dark be my way, since ...

What is presented below, dear reader, maybe quite difficult to digest in first glance. But if you would slowly and patiently labor and make your way through the unusual weaving of language by John Owen, I'm convinced that your time will be well invested. It's far too rare that believers would receive any depth of ...

We finally bring you the preface from the pen of John Owen himself on the purpose and direction of his discourse enclosed in this now compiled-book "Overcoming Sin and Temptation".I want to set this before you as the main introduction, among other reasons, to prepare you for the language employed by Owen. Speedy and hasty ...

I always wondered why it is that there are far too many Christians that vary too far to one another in regards to their progress in the faith. I assumed that's it's just the way things are and that some are just more able than other according to the measure of faith given them. But ...

Blessed God,Ten thousand snares are mine without and within, defend thou me; When sloth and indolence seize me, give me views of heaven;When sinners entice me, give me disrelish of their ways;When sensual pleasures tempt me, purify and refine me;When I desire worldly possessions, help me to be rich toward thee;When the vanities of the world ...

How does the battle of faith against sin actually work? What are the rules of engagement? Where does God come in? Where do we come in? Is it accomplished by the means of mere mental watchfulness? A hedging of the emotions and physical tendencies? In what point do we "let go and let God"? Should ...
