The chief spring of sloth is indwelling sin…

No kidding. I almost put the book down at that point :) Aaron said: "I heard Owen only slept 4 hours a night." I don't doubt it. Clearly he's one of the best thinkers the church has ever seen. But he certainly wasn't dry and academic. I think if Owen knew that I often sleep twice as much as he did a night, he'd probably direct a few of his slothful quotes my way :) Aaron said: “God, help me overcome my laziness.”
