She didn't reach many people though, as her family was part of a cult/church of the type that thought the only people going to heaven were those who worshipped inside the 4 walls of their church. There was a "big" local news story on problems some people had when they tried to escape this "church" around that same time.<BR/><BR/>Big Chris<BR/><A HREF="http://mrclm.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Because I said so</A> blogChris Meirosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05717903860701408008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723103.post-1122663520542803622005-07-29T11:58:00.000-07:002005-07-29T11:58:00.000-07:00Char: thanks for the link.

There is, indeed, a broad light fallen upon the men of this generation, and together therewith many spiritual gifts communicated, which . . . have wonderfully enlarged the bounds of professors and profession [i.e., church growth?]. . . Hence there is a noise of religion and religious duties in every corner . . .What shall we say of some who would be accounted religious and yet despise the gospel light . . .?"<BR/><BR/>My interpretation: Owen is "complaining" about professors, i.e., those who profess to be Christians, yet are not focusing on killing sin, but only sounding religious, while skirting the "gospel light." Ouch.<BR/><BR/>For those who think the subject matter of this blog is but a fad, if it is, it is yet an old fad that has stood the test of time. (See also Paul's letter to the Galations).<BR/><BR/>"Be killing sin or it will be killing you." -- J.
