More From John Owen

Faith and daily life, faith and work-these are not separate things. they are one and the same. to think of them as separate-that faith is faith, and work is work-is theoretical faith. based on the recognition that work and faith are one and the same, we should put one hundred percent of our energy into our jobs and one hundred percent into our faith, too. when we resolve to do this, we enter the path of victory in life. faith means to show irrefutable proof of victory amid the realities of society and in our own daily lives.
Jobs Mean Reality
I do not believe in the creed professed by the jewish church, by the roman church, by the greek church, by the turkish church, by the protestant church, nor by any church that i know of. my own mind is my own church.
Atheist Pain Fear
First thoughts are the everyday thoughts. everyone has those. second thoughts are the thoughts you think about the way you think. people who enjoy thinking have those. third thoughts are thoughts that watch the world and think all by themselves. they’re rare, and often troublesome. listening to them is part of witchcraft.

Marriage i think for women is the best of opiates. it kills the thoughts that think about the thoughts, it is the best of opiates. so said maria. but too long in solitude she'd dwelt, and too long her thoughts had felt their strength. so when the man drew near, out popped her thoughts and covered him with fear. poor maria! better that she had kept her thoughts on a chain, for now she's alone again and all in pain; she sighs for the man that went and the thoughts that stay to trouble her dreams by night and her dreams by day.
Dream Pain Night
An individual gospel without a social gospel is a soul without a body and a social gospel without an individual gospel is a body without a soul. one is a ghost, the other a corpse.
Soul Religion Body
And i profess still, that whatsoever the church of england (the church, i say, not every doctor) shall forbid me to say in matterof faith, i shall abstain from saying it, excepting this point, that jesus christ, the son of god, died for my sins. as for other doctrines, i think it unlawful, if the church define them, for any member of the church to contradict them.

Similar Quotes
If we did not know all his retorts by heart, if we had not taken the sting out of them by incessant repetition in the accents of the pulpit, and if we had not somehow got it into our heads that brains were rather reprehnsible, we should reckon him among the greatest wits of all time. nobody else, in three brief years, has achieved such an output of epigram.
Jesus Taken Heart
The law is about you looking at yourself. the new covenant is all about you seeing jesus.
Jesus Law Covenant
If a soul is not clothed with the teachings of the church he cannot merit to have jesus seated in him.
Jesus Teaching Soul
Sheer scholarship alone cannot reveal to us the gospel of grace. we must never allow the authority of books, institutions, or leaders to replace the authority of knowing jesus christ personally and directly. when the religious views of others interpose between us and the primary experience of jesus as the christ, we become unconvicted and unpersuasive travel agents handing out brochures to places we have never visited.
