Finding power and peace

from Understand the Bible · host Phill Sacre

Join me to read John Owen’s classic book “The Mortification of Sin in Believers”. This book is one of the best that have ever been written about how to live a holy life. The fourth chapter covers the benefits of mortification — why it is that we should be concerned about it. Topics covered in this chapter: * Power and peace are closely connected with the mortification of sin; * By contrast, sin will weaken and darken our souls and cause us to lose peace; * Graces will be enriched by the mortification of sin.
