Sighing for the Spring of the Eternal Country | Meandering Mystic

https://meanderingmystic.wordpress.com/2011/06/22/sighing-for-the-spring-of-the-eternal-country

Simply Seeking More of God. The Dangerous Act of Worship. The Power of Routine →. Sighing for the Spring of the Eternal Country. June 22, 2011. The leading of the Holy Spirit is not meant to be an issue of top secrecy. If any Christian lives within mediocrity, if we feel the least amount of divine power at our greatest points of need, it is not because the Holy Spirit has segregated Himself for only the spiritual elite. His presence and His power are the inheritance of all of God’s children. Notify me of...

Simply Seeking More of God. Be Wary of “Ways” →. Christian Community and Influence. July 5, 2011. Within my pursuit of God, the vital role of community has been impressed upon me repeatedly. Much of this repetition is likely due to my slowness at grasping the concept. Even still, a strand within me dreams of a spiritual path containing independence. The whole thought is a myth, and God is ongoing in his efforts to root me in reality. 8220;The church is not to be understood primarily as a means to the end...

Smouldering Wicks | Meandering Mystic

https://meanderingmystic.wordpress.com/2011/07/04/c-s-lewis

Simply Seeking More of God. The Power of Routine. Christian Community and Influence →. July 4, 2011. My aspirations live above my realizations. Part of that is tied into my role as a pastor. I spend much time in the study of Scripture and the pondering of its grand themes: Redemption, renewal, restoration, re-creation, resurrection, and more not-always-RE-words. The flickering fire imagery is taken up by the prophet Isaiah, when he reveals God as one who does not snuff out smouldering wicks (Isa. 42:...

Simply Seeking More of God. Evelyn Underhill on Miracles. The Power of Abandonment. October 24, 2011. I recently found this in Thomas a Kempis’ famous work, “The Imitation of Christ”:. 8220;My dear friend, abandon yourself, and you will find me. Give up your will and every title to yourself, and you will always come out ahead, for greater grace will be yours the moment you turn yourself over to me once and for all.”. 8220;Abandon yourself.”.

Evelyn Underhill on Miracles | Meandering Mystic

Simply Seeking More of God. Be Wary of “Ways”. The Power of Abandonment →. Evelyn Underhill on Miracles. July 18, 2011. Sometimes I desire the spectacular. I read the Scriptures and stories from believers through history, and I marvel at awesome occurrences, events that could only be suitably described as miracles. How many of these have I experienced? Those akin to crippled men walking or mourning widows having dead sons returned to them–my count is zero. Might there be miracles taking place in my life,...

Be Wary of “Ways” | Meandering Mystic

Simply Seeking More of God. Christian Community and Influence. Evelyn Underhill on Miracles →. Be Wary of “Ways”. July 6, 2011. Several years back, I was directed to get acquainted with Jeanne Guyon (1648-1717), a French mystic, who left behind a trail of profoundly simple yet rich, writings about the spiritual life. Upon reading one of her volumes, I felt as though I’d been led to deep and refreshing wells of water that I had previously known nothing about. 8220;In all your experience of Christ, it is w...

Simply Seeking More of God. Sighing for the Spring of the Eternal Country. Smouldering Wicks →. The Power of Routine. July 2, 2011. My family and I just returned from a week-long vacation. So holidays have ended. Pictures have been snapped and memories have been created. A taste of refreshing adventure has been had. And now the sipping of the steady and stable resumes. And my spirit is fine with that. This entry was posted in Growing. Sighing for the Spring of the Eternal Country. Smouldering Wicks →.

Simply Seeking More of God. Newer posts →. The Dangerous Act of Worship. June 21, 2011. In his book by that title, Mark Labberton compellingly makes his point:. Worship as dangerous–I’ve not heard nearly enough of that in our churches. But certainly it is. It undermines unholy power structures within our lives and realigns our spirits with reality, setting us up for renewed discoveries and great experiences of God. So bend the knee, my friends. There are worlds to be discovered. June 20, 2011. He knows o...

The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness. Proverbs 15:14 (New King James Version).
