OK, so that title got your attention! In fact, Justin Taylor’s blog Between Two Worlds will no longer be updated at its old address. But Justin has not, thankfully given up blogging. Instead his wonderful blog has moved to be hosted at The Gospel Coalition. I cannot commend his posts enough, [...]

Justin Taylor on Why We Need Christian Books

July 30, 2009

Only one book is absolutely essential to save us, to equip us to obey God’s will, and to glorify Him in whatever we do. Only one book gives us undiluted truth–the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Only one book serves as our ultimate and final authority in all that it affirms. That book, [...]

How Do You Define a Friend?

September 29, 2008

In an incredibly helpful discussion, chaired by Justin Taylor at the recent DGM conference, Driscoll defined friends as follows:
“They love you, have hope for you, and have time for you.”I can’t think of a much better definition than that.

John Owen – Man of the Word and Spirit

October 23, 2007

In conclusive proof that there is nothing new under the sun, we see in this quote on John Owen a devoted conviction to both Word and Spirit. How we need churches today who will bring both emphases to the fore, as did Martyn Lloyd Jones in the quote I posted yesterday.
May God raise up an [...]

John Owen on How Conscious Communion With Christ Keeps Us From Sin

September 29, 2007

In this extract from the forthcoming Owen book, John Owen reveals just how distant he is from many modern-day Christians. How often do we talk about a conscious relationship with the living Christ? How much do we truly enjoy his presence? How much are we aware of how precious he is? Is our failure to [...]

John Owen on Communion With God the Father

September 28, 2007

The following passage, taken from the forthcoming John Owen book, Communion with the Triune God, highlights a reason for our spiritual weakness and our lack of joy—we do not consciously commune with God the Father, and when we think of him, we think of him as full of wrath toward us:

“First, then, this is a [...]

Was John Owen a Charismatic?

September 27, 2007

You may remember a simple definition of the word charismatic I shared from a recent book review which began: “Those who recognize that the gift of the Spirit is to be received . . .”
While it is anachronistic to ask if John Owen was a charismatic, it is very interesting indeed that, like John Piper [...]

John Owen, the Trinity, and the Atonement

September 25, 2007

The atonement is never far from this blog. It seems that misconceptions common in our day were, sadly, also common in John Owen’s day. We see in this quote something incredibly topical today. Perhaps sometimes the answers to today’s debates do indeed lie in studying the theological upsets of the past:
“Unfortunately, many Christians often have [...]

John Owen and Knowing God Through Jesus

September 23, 2007

Sometime ago I posted about the fact that it is Jesus who best reveals to us the attributes of God. It was therefore thrilling to see that this concept echoed down the centuries in the writings of John Owen. “The great revelation of Christ to us is that of “God as a Father,” and this [...]

John Owen on the Trinity

September 21, 2007

Some today argue that the Trinity is a relatively novel concept. Owen demonstrates this is not true and cites Gregory of Nazianzus’ statement: “No sooner do I conceive of the One than I am illumined by the Splendour of the Three; no sooner do I distinguish Them than I am carried back to [...]

John Owen on the Vital Place of Knowing God

September 19, 2007

Yesterday we shared a great definition of the Gospel taken from the Forward to the forthcoming Crossway book, Communion with the Triune God.
Today we will share more words from the introductory portions of that book which will explain this further and show the emphasis Owen placed on an experience of God: “I pray God with [...]
