I'm reading Overcoming Sin and Temptation by John Owen and finding it to be a sobering and convicting read. Thankfully it has been adapted for our modern language so I can comprehend the contents. There are few works that are as compelling as some of the greats from the past like Jonathan Edwards, John Owen and then more recently people like Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones. The modern church movement is weak and often faulty in its convictions, and these writers of old bring needed sobriety and thoughtfulness. Looking around us for direction isn't the way to go. The Word of God and those not bent on entertainment and being relevant are who to glean from.
