Lent

Fr. Andrew — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 06:37:33 +0000

Lent is a season of preparation for experiencing Easter, and it is characterized by a spirit of self-examination and repentance.

It isn’t uncommon for a Christian to give up something for the season of Lent as a natural aid and reminder to spiritual growth. Some Christians pick a day on which to fast from food. The time that normally would have been spent in preparing and eating meals, is spent instead in prayer and Bible study, and over the course of the day the feeling of hunger is a natural reminder to pray.

These “Lenten Disciplines” are best done voluntarily and with a heart that desires to grow closer to God, rather than out of a sense of legalism.

Obedience & Salvation

It is altogether doubtful whether any man can be saved who comes to Christ for His help with no intention to obey Him. ~ AW Tozer

Bible Study – Ryle

Fr. Andrew — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:28:13 +0000

“Do not think you are getting no good from the Bible, merely because you do not see that good day by day. The greatest effects are by no means those which make the most noise, and are most easily observed. The greatest effects are often silent, quiet, and hard to detect at the time they are being produced….” ~ Bishop JC Ryle

Knowledge – Augustine

Fr. Andrew — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 12:24:17 +0000

‘…early in the fifth century, Saint Augustine noted that perceptive non-Christians really did know a great deal about ‘the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of the world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and the seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth’. Given such able observers, he held that it was ‘a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics”. - Noll, Jesus Christ and the Life of the Mind, p. 100.

Losing God in Church – Muggeridge

Fr. Andrew — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:04:23 +0000

“One of the most effective defense systems against God’s incursions has hitherto been organized religion. Various churches have provided a refuge for fugitives from God—His voice drowned in the chanting, His smell lost in the incense, His purpose obscured and confused in creeds, dogmas, dissertations…in vast cathedrals, as in little conventicles…one could get away from God.” ~ Malcolm Muggeridge
