More From John Owen

Sometimes in life, things happen that will knock you back. hell, you may get beaten to your knees but you must never allow this world to knock you down! conjure up all the strength you have and drive through whatever it is keeping you on your knees. build up the strength and your knees may never buckle again!
Motivational Adversity Overcoming
I know married catholics in a second union who go to church, who go to church once or twice a year and say i want communion, as if joining in communion were an award. it's a work towards integration, all doors are open, but we cannot say, 'from here on they can have communion.'
Awards Doors Joining In
I hold that if the almighty had ever made a set of men that should do all the eating and none of the work, he would have made them with mouths only and no hands, and if he had ever made another class that he intended should do all the work and none of the eating, he would have made them without mouths and with all hands.
Men Hands Class
It is madness to wear ladies' straw hats and velvet hats to church; we should all be wearing crash helmets. ushers should issue life preservers and signal flares; they should lash us to our pews. for the sleeping god may wake someday and take offense, or the waking god may draw us out to where we can never return.

But what will happen even if we do burn down the jews synagogues and forbid them publicly to praise god, to pray, to teach, to utter god's name? they will still keep doing it in secret. if we know that they are doing this in secret, it is the same as if they were doing it publicly. for our knowledge of their secret doings and our toleration of them implies that they are not secret after all and thus our conscience is encumbered with it before god.

You hear a lot about god these days: god, the beneficent; god, the all-great; god, the almighty; god, the most powerful; god, the giver of life; god, the creator of death. i mean, we're hearing about god all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. but if we know anything about god, god is arbitrary.

John coltrane is still probably one of the greatest musicians of this century. his tone truly puts demons on a leash. his gift is directly from the mind of god and is very powerful. ..... the first time i heard a love supreme, it was really an assault. it could've been from mars as far as i was concerned, or another galaxy. i remember the album cover and the name, but the music didn't fit into the patterns of my brain at that point. it was like someone trying to tell a monkey about spirituality or computers, you know, it just didn't compute.
