Owen: fail but do not abandon Christ

Thursday, July 21, 2011
Meditation:
    Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
    —James 4:8 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Consider that it is not failing in this or that attempt to come to Christ, but a giving over your endeavors, that will be your ruin.
    ... John Owen (1616-1683), The Glory of Christ [1684, 1691], in Works of John Owen, v. I, London: Johnson & Hunter, 1850, p. 428 (see the book)
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, You reward those who persist.
