It's all or nothing

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. In this chapter we think about how we must take an ‘all or nothing’ approach to mortifying sin. Topics covered in this chapter: * We cannot be selective about the sins we choose to mortify. We must recognise that every sin is offensive to God.* Selective mortification is self-focussed.* If God chooses to allow our sins to continue, it may be because God is using the trouble to help us grow and teach us.You can download a copy of the book (for free) from this website.Understand the Bible is a reader-supported publication.
