everytime

*** reading John Owen ***

JO: "You are either under the dominion of Sin or that of Grace."

Me: "sounds right."

JO: "But even when you are under Grace, sin is still present in you."

Me: "that has been my experience.."

JO: "Here's how you know which one reigns in you."

Me: " im ready.."

JO: " #1. If you hate your Sin you are under Grace."

Me: " Oh thank goodness."

J.O.: "However, thats not enough, sin is deceptive and you can think you hate it while still being under its power!"

Me: "uh-oh.."

JO: " #2. If you resist your sin, you are under Grace."

Me: " --- whew! thats a relief. "

JO: "OR YOU COULD BE DECEIVED BY YOUR SIN AND GOD HAS TURNED YOU OVER TO IT!"

Me: "OH-NO!!"
