John Owen:
“Guarding the mind and the heart is a spiritual discipline of utmost importance, for it is from these inner chambers that the issues of life flow forth. The Puritan must be vigilant in the battle for the mind and the heart, resisting the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil. Let us not be conformed to the patterns of this world, but let us be transformed by the renewing of our minds, that we may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. In this way, we will be equipped to discern truth from error, righteousness from unrighteousness, and to walk in the paths of righteousness all the days of our lives.” (From “The Works of John Owen”)
