Saved. With. Amazing. Grace.: marriage.
A marriage, which is a creation of God, is meant to image Him - the two become one. Men as Jesus; the head of the wife and family as Jesus is the head of the church, loving his wife just as Jesus loved us, wholly, completely, selflessly. The wife as the Holy Sprit; the helper (Genesis 2:18 “Then…

The simplest is to turn their gaze away from Him towards themselves. Keep them watching their own minds and trying to produce feelings there by the action of their own wills. When they meant to ask Him for charity, let them, instead, start trying to manufacture charitable feelings for themselves and not notice that this is what they are doing. When they meant to pray for courage, let them really be trying to feel brave. When they say they are praying for forgiveness, let them be trying to feel forgiving. Teach them to estimate the value of each prayer by their success in producing the desired feeling; and never let them suspect how much success or failure of that kind depends on whether they are well or ill, fresh or tired, at the moment.

There is no right understanding of yourself until you understand yourself in light of who God is. Pride, arrogance, haughtiness, boastfulness… is what happens when we compare ourselves to one another. Humility, conviction, repentance… is what happens when we compare ourselves to this Lord.

All Creatures - Josh Garrels
Lift up your voice and let us sing
O Praise Him! O Praise Him!
Alleluia
Creation sent to me the centipede
to witness the complexity
of one hundred legs that were moving unexpectedly
ironically
just as they were meant to be,
they’re fearfully and wonderfully made;
An organism praised in circadian rhythms:
the sun will rise and then the sun will set, and then the sun will rise again,
so lift up your head!this is life: not a static object preserved and displayed like a relic from the dead
You are not a fruitless tree with a rootless disease
growin’ in a bucket in a rich man’s home
next to the TV tamed and alone
learnin’ to lust for the things you don’t own
like an arm chair warrior who’s been dethroned
Declawed and fixed
fighting for you life with unattended slit wrists.
Don’t let your name get intermingled with the number cause its time to awaken from the devilish slumber,
to freely follow the Forerunner
to the fatherland and rally round the renaissance man
and the wisdom of His ways
and all the work of His hands
catch come as catch can
concentrating on the good words of the Son of Man,
the plan is to withstand the demands of a confused oppressor:
a wolf in sheep’s clothes
with monotonous lectures
and questionable gestures
unequal measures
cultural pressures
and synthetic textures
force fed instead of the most beautiful architecture
of our long lost, forgotten origins:
Unseen fiber in the blood of my King
And that old rock where we confessed our sinsOh, my God, fellow man
in this great land they all cry out for
full restoration
and this will take
patience
AND THIS WILL TAKE THE TRIBES
AND THE TONGUES OF ALL THE NATIONS
and all of creation groans in anticipation
Waitin’ for the Son of God to be manifest
I can feel it burnin’ in my chest
The liberation for the oppressedAnd it’s beautiful like the feet that bring good news…
Its beautiful like this freedom tune
Its beautiful like the power to choose…to change
Beautiful like the long awaited rain
Beautiful like the healing pains
Beautiful like the holy flames…coming down!All creatures of our God and King
Lift up your voice and with us sing
O Praise Him! O Praise Him!
Alleluia….
