What is God’s Will For My Life? Part 1
Posted in Finding God's Will, Trinity Institute, Uncategorized, Wednesdays at Trinity, tagged bruce waltke, Finding God's Will, lent, trinity episcopal, wednesday nights on March 18, 2009 | 2 Comments »
In this lesson we examined how we can know God’s will for our lives. We learned that God’s desire is that we be less concerned with our outward circumstances and more concerned with our own inward condition. A good supplemental reading would be Bruce Waltke’s Finding God’s Will: a pagan idea? I know of no other book as [...]

Bishop Ryle here states the importance of finding time to be refreshed in Christ.

You can read the whole thing here “There are so many persons who complain that they don’t enjoy prayer. They [...]

There is an imminent danger in the Church of getting our priorities so out of whack, that we keep all the secondary matters and forget the things God truly requires. Anglican Bishop J.C. Ryle relates that danger in his commentary on Mark 11 Let us take care that we each individually learn the lesson that [...]
A Real Bummer?

Contrast the Self-Esteem Movement with this: (read the whole chapter here or the book here “Bring thy lust to the gospel, — not for relief, but for farther conviction of its guilt; look on Him whom thou hast pierced, and be in bitterness. Say to thy soul, “What have I done? What love, what mercy, [...]
