The most tremendous judgment of God in this world is the hardening of the hearts of men.
More Quotes from John Owen:
It is not the distance of the earth from the sun, nor the sun's withdrawing itself, that makes a dark and gloomy day but the interposition of clouds and vaporous exhalations. Neither is thy soul beyond the reach of the promise, nor does God withdraw Himself but the vapours of thy carnal, unbelieving heart do cloud thee.John Owen

Faith, if it be a living faith, will be a working faith.

The house built on the sand may oftentimes be built higher, have more fair parapets and battlements, windows and ornaments, than that which is built upon the rock; yet all gifts and privileges equal not one grace.

The custom of sinning takes away the sense of it, the course of the world takes away the shame of it.
John Owen
I do not know a warning that I judge more necessary to be given to those who are called this day, than to charge them not to trade too much with their natural gifts, and abilities, and learning. These are talents in their kind but it is the Spirit that must manage all that learning they have, or it will prejudice them, and you also. I have known some good men who have been so addicted to their study, that they have thought the last day of the week sufficient to prepare for their ministry, though they employ all the rest of the week in other studies. But your business is to trade with your spiritual abilities.... A man may preach a very good sermon, who is otherwise himself but he will never make a good minister of Jesus Christ, whose mind and heart are not always in the work. Spiritual gifts will require continual ruminating on the things of the Gospel in our minds.
