The Family Tree of the Prayer Book

[godlywoman]

Get alone with God and preach His Word into your mind until your heart sings with confidence that you are new and cared for.

John Piper  (via pureblyss)

1 Peter 2:24 (ESV) He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

“If Christianity goes, the whole of our culture goes. Then you must start painfully gain, and you cannot put on a new culture ready made. You must first wait for the grass to grow to feed the sheep to give the wool out of which your new coat will be made. You must pass through many centuries of barbarism. We should not live to see the new culture, nor would our great-great-great-grandchildren: and if we did, not one of us would be happy in it.” — T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)

“The King of heaven deigned to be born in a stable, because He came to destroy pride, the cause of man’s ruin.”

The Epiphany, or the Manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles: The Communion Propers: The Collect

O GOD, who by the leading of a star didst manifest thy only-begotten Son to the Gentiles; Mercifully grant that we, who know thee now by faith, may after this life have the fruition of thy glorious Godhead; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

This collect is to be said daily through the Octave

Pilgrim’s Conflict with Sloth | Poem by John Piper

#Repost @desiringgod with @repostapp. ・・・ “‘By the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.’ (1 Corinthians 15:10) Grace is not only God’s disposition to do good for us when we don’t deserve it. It is an actual power from God that acts and makes good things happen in us and for us. God’s grace was God’s acting in Paul to make Paul work hard. So when Paul says, 'Work out your salvation,’ he adds, 'it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure’ (Philippians 2:12–13). Grace is power from God to do good things in us and for us. This grace is past and it is future. It is ever-cascading over the infinitesimal waterfall of the present from the inexhaustible river of grace coming to us from the future into the ever-increasing reservoir of grace in the past. • In the next five minutes, you will receive sustaining grace flowing to you from the future, and you will accumulate another five minutes’ worth of grace in the reservoir of the past. The proper response to grace you experienced in the past is gratitude, and the proper response to grace promised to you in the future is faith. We are thankful for the past grace of the last year, and we are confident in future grace for the new year.”
