As we continue to recover from the winter storm that affected northeast Mississippi, we’re grateful for your patience and prayers. We didn’t want to leave you without encouragement this week, so we’re returning to the second episode in our series on John Owen’s Mortification of Sin, originally published on October 20, 2022. We trust the Lord will use it again to strengthen and steady your walk.

Robert Murray M’Cheyne described the human heart as gunpowder and temptation as a spark that will ignite the heart in sin. The most careful practice we can have is to keep our hearts damp by gazing upon Christ.

In this week’s episode, John Snyder and Jeremy Walker share how Owen encourages us to keep our hearts damp by the dual command to watch and pray. What must we watch for? How must we pray? John and Jeremy share some of the most practical help from Owen in this week’s episode.
