Download or read book Upper Room Meditations Classic Reprint written by O. P. Fitzgerald and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Upper Room Meditations IN the opening verses of the Bible there is an in timation of the sublime truth that everything in the universe of God, both physical and spiritual, is under law. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. When the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters, then came life and light, order and beauty. From the revolutions of a planetary system to the fall of a sparrow there is nothing capricious or arbitrary or fortuitous in the divine administration. This truth is the key that will unlock many mysteries in our study of God's ways in his dealings with us as revealed in his Word and known by our experience. In the chapters that follow it is hoped that the kind ly reader will discern this truth as a golden thread running through the whole. And we will not forget that the Spirit of God is his own best interpreter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Altar written by Isaac Williams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-02-24 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Altar: Or Meditations in Verse on the Great Christian Sacrifice The poetry which has been introduced has for the most part no other connexion with the general design, than that it takes the various subjects of our Lord's Passion for the objects [of devout con templation, as they successively arise in the pictures. In the illustrations of the Communion Service the cope has been substituted for the dress usually worn. It being the ecclesiastical garb required by our canon in Cathedral and Collegiate Churches, and still in use at our coronations, may be a sufficient sanction for its introduction; but it has not been used merely for these reasons, nor ln order to recommend the adoption of it, whether advisable or not; but it mav be remarked of such pictures, as of forms of speech, that the more antiquated and foreign (to use Aristotle's expression) are often most suitable to poetry, especially on subjects of the affections. With regard to the Opposite side of these pictures, it may be taken to represent the Communion of Saints, knit together in one Body, as partaking of that one Bread; and holding the Head as signified by the Prayers which are successively inserted between the two figures. The introduction of so many of these names into our own calendar is a suflicient indication that we may be allowed in some measure to consider as our own such Saints of the Universal Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Morning Communings With God: Or, Devotional Meditations for Every Day in the Year The name of Sturm has become so naturalized amongst us, that we scarcely remember that the honour of his birth appertains not to our country; and there are few of our native productions so ex tensively known, so generally applauded, or perused with so much pleasure as that sweet exotic - the reflections. To transplant, therefore, at length, though late, another flower from the sacred parterre of this devout and elegant author into the soil of British literature and worship, is a lot, in which, were my reputation and avocations as lofty and brilliant as they are lowly and obscure, I could not otherwise than boast and rejoice.

Book excerpt: God has provided a way for all people, not just scholars, to know that the Bible is the Word of God. John Piper has devoted his life to showing us that the glory of God is object of the soul’s happiness. Now, his burden in this book is to demonstrate that this same glory is the ground of the mind’s certainty. God’s peculiar glory shines through his Word. The Spirit of God enlightens the eyes of our hearts. And in one self-authenticating sight, our minds are sure and our hearts are satisfied. Justified certainty and solid joy meet in the peculiar glory of God.

Download or read book The Pleasures of God written by John Piper and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2012-01-17 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Desiring God reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Includes a study guide for individual and small-group use. Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy? And so it is with God! What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe? John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory. Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.” Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about us. It is about the One we were made for—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by World Magazine as one of the 20th Century’s top 100 books, John Piper reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Then we will be able to drink deeply—and satisfyingly—from the only well that offers living water. What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. “This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.” —J.I. PACKER, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia

Download or read book A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life written by William Law and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This examination of the Christian life constitutes one of the most remarkable books of devotion ever written. William Law's book dates from 1728, a decade before England's great evangelical revival, during which it exercised a significant influence on the movement's leaders. A Serious Call has been praised by readers as varied as Samuel Johnson, Edward Gibbon, and John Wesley. "If Mr. Law finds a spark of piety in a reader's mind, he will soon kindle it into a flame," declared Gibbon, and Wesley pronounced Law's work as one of the books that formed his "explicit resolve to be all devoted to God." Three hundred years after its initial publication, this volume continues to win accolades from modern readers who appreciate its guidelines on prayer, personal holiness, and charity. Simple but profound, it features brief chapters that make it particularly suitable for daily devotions.
