Puritan Wisdom


“Duties are excellent food for an unhealthy soul; they are no physic for a sick soul.  He that turns his meat into his medicine must expect no great operation.  Spiritually sick men cannot sweat out their distemper with working.” -- John Owen, Of the Mortification of Sin in Believers, 18, in The Works of John Owen, Volume 6:  Temptation and Sin.
