Pondering the Benefits of Meditation

April 21, 2008

          Here a few thoughts by Thomas Watson from Heaven Taken by Storm on the topic of mediation:
“Meditation may be thus described: it is a holy exercise of mind whereby we bring the truths of God to remembrance, and seriously ponder upon them and apply them to ourselves.

April 21, 2008

Martin Downes with another great post on heresy…

 
Why would anyone embrace heresy?
You would think that someone would have to be out of their right mind to believe heresy. Who, after all, wants to believe something that isn’t true? But, to quote Lucifer in Milton’s Paradise Lost, the anthem of heresy is that “it is better [...]

Read It!

The Availability of Christ

April 19, 2008

“…he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit…” John 15:5
We may be tempted to believe that were circumstances different, we would be able to manifest greater Christlikeness. If only we could read such and such book or obtain the friendship of a notable saint, we could soar to heights unknown. [...]
