Fill Your Affections With the Cross of Christ

“When someone sets his affections upon the cross and the love of Christ, he crucifies the world as a dead and undesirable thing. The baits of sin lose their attraction and disappear. Fill your affections with the cross of Christ and you will find no room for sin”–– John Owen

I am blessed after having gone through some of the stuff posted in in your blog; the one on giving thanks to God and that of leadership and the stuff on the need to read widely.
Thank God for you-to go practical straight away.Eddie

Thanks for this post, Dieudonne! I think it has the makings of a valuable dissertation, especially if you give some significant attention to the practicalities of this Biblical understanding of thanksgiving. May the Lord richly bless you as He leads you into the new graces that He has for your life in Kentucky.
