A sermon is not made with an eye upon the sermon, but with both eyes upon the people and all the heart upon God.
— John Owen (1616-1683)
Signs of Forgiveness
Our forgiving of others will not procure forgiveness for ourselves; but our not forgiving others proves that we ourselves are not forgiven.
John Owen
Faith
True faith can no more be without holiness, than true fire without heat.
— John Owen
Our Priorities
If our principal treasure be as we profess, in things spiritual and heavenly, and woe unto us if it be not so! – on them will be our affections, and consequently our desires and thoughts, be principally fixed.
— John Owen
