Advice from Augustine

"A Christian should be an alleluia from head to foot"

What does it mean to "pray without ceasing?" (1 Thess 5:17)

John Wesley explains:

His heart is ever lifted up to God at all times and in all places. In this he is never hindered, much less interrupted, by any person or thing. In retirement or company, in leisure, business, or conversation, his heart is ever with the Lord. Whether he lie down or rise up, God is in all his thoughts; he walks with God continually, having the loving eye of his mind still fixed upon Him, and everywhere "seeing Him that is invisible."

What is Justification by Faith?

Are you trusting in your morality?

"Morality may keep you out of jail,

but it takes the blood of Jesus to keep you out of hell."

~ Charles Spurgeon

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood,

to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past,

through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness:

that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Where is boasting then? It is excluded.

By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith

without the deeds of the law. ~ Rom 3:23-28

Mike Huckabee's view on evolution

O God, We Praise Thee

O God, we praise Thee;

and confess that Thou the only Lord

and everlasting Father art,

by all the earth adored.

To Thee all angels cry aloud;

to Thee the pow'rs on high,

both cherubim and seraphim,

continually do cry.

O holy, holy, holy Lord,

whom heav'nly hosts obey,

the world is with the glory filled

of Thy majestic ray.

Thy apostles glorious company

and prophets crowned with light,

with all the martyrs' noble host,

Thy constant praise recite.

The holy church throughout the world,

O Lord, confess Thee,

that Thou Eternal Father art,

of boundless majesty.

Thine honored, true, and only Son;

and Holy Ghost, the Spring

of never-ceasing joy: O Christ,

of glory Thou art King.

~ unknown author, 4th century

Thoughts on Prayer from John Bunyan

Prayer is a sincere, sensible, affectionate pouring out of the heart or soul to God, through Christ, in the strength and assistance of the Holy Spirit, for such things as God has promised, or according to the Word of God, for the good of the church, with submission in faith to the will of God.
