Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of Prayer This is the first of a short series of books on the Great Christian Doctrines. There is, I believe, a widespread and earnest desire on the part of teachers of the Bible to do more than has lately been done for the teaching of Christian doctrine. The complaint that doctrine is dry is due to the way it is taught, even more than to the spirit of the age Anything is dry that is disorderly or unreal. In this volume the Doctrine of Prayer is presented in an orderly sequence, and contact with reality is maintained at every step by means of illustration or example.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of Prayer: An Essay There are two kinds of Prayer, the Prayer of Faith and the Prayer of Form. Men must either pray in earnest, because they expect their prayer to accomplish something, and ask God for what they want just as they would ask any one else, - expecting to get it; and this kind of prayer I call the Prayer of F aith. Or they must pray as a matter of propriety, and from a sense of duty, - because prayer is beautiful, or because prayer is commanded and this kind of prayer I call the Prayer of Form.

Download or read book The Practice of Prayer Classic Reprint written by G. Campbell Morgan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: G Campbell Morgan wrote the Practice of Prayer not just to recommend prayer, but a full biblical underpinning to a habit of prayer and an acknowledgement of the Christian doctrine of the omniscient and omnipotent God. In his life-long distinguished career of biblical study Morgan was particularly struck by the passage where the disciples beseech Jesus, 'Lord, teach us to pray'. Reverend Morgan was both insistent that the modern church consider the necessity of wholehearted, faithful prayer and the most appropriate way to achieve it. He believed that the answers were furnished to the faithful by God but that the development of faith, the knowledge of how to pray and even more importantly the appropriate attitude for worship were crucial to righteous worship. In this work he explains his concept of the correct method. Morgan examines each element of the trinity thoughtfully and explains in clear and poetic language the role that each element of the trinity plays in enabling the ideal practice of prayer. He identifies a tantalising human emotionality in Christ, the capacity for mercy in God and the inspiration for prayer that he attributes to the Holy Spirit. He refuses bars to prayer and urges those who would receive the full benefit of prayer to eschew activities that would block them from periods of theological reflection in favour of a more reflective approach to faith. As as prominent teacher, theologian and minister Reverend Morgan's arguments about the ideal approach to the practice and theory of prayer reflect his experience and education, as well as an emotional and moving account of spiritual closeness to God that he felt through prayer. For those seeking to expand the meditative element of their worship this book will linger on in the mind.

Download or read book The Christian Doctrine of Faith Classic Reprint written by James Hastings and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of Faith This is not a theological treatise on the one hand, nor on the other is it a volume of sermons. Like its predecessor, the volume on Prayer, it has a distinct office to fulfil, an office that in the judgment of the editor is of immense importance. For between the professor's lecture-room and the preacher's study there is a great gulf fixed. In the lecture-room the lectures on systematic theology are laboriously entered into notebooks, which are useful for the exit examinations. But when the active work of the ministry begins, and so many sermons have to be prepared every week, the cupboard into which those notebooks have been stowed away is left undisturbed. The preacher begins to Spin his sermons out of his own brains, with the assistance of such popular books as happen to be at his hand.

It has even occurred to me to doubt whe ther the well-known doctrine of our beloved Church, With regard to Liturgies, may not have been so rigidly interpreted, and so unskilfully applied, as to lead to practical misapprehension and mischief in regard to the devotional part Of the service of our sanctuaries.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sermons on Some Leading Points of Christian Doctrine and Duty The accompanying volume is submitted to the public with eh most unaffected diffidence. The author is fully sensible that his position in the Church is not such as to entitle his opinions to much weight; and he has been constrained to feel, that the constantly recurring claims and duties of an extensive charge afford little leisure for elaborate, or even careful, composition. Having, however, been repeatedly requested to print particular sermons, he has been induced to form this collection; although he cannot hope, that it will experience generally that favour and' indulgence, which it is certain to receive from the various members of the very intelligent congregations which it is his privilege to address, and for whose use it is specially intended.

Download or read book The Prayers of St Paul written by William Burt Pope and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prayers of St. Paul: Being an Analysis and Exposition, Devotional Portion of the of Writings However symmetrical and perfect these sentences are as statements of Christian doctrine, it is their exhibition of Christian privilege that has always made them so precious to-the devout. AS such only they give out all their beauty. This really explains their origin. When soever the Apostle approaches the higher Christian life, and the exceeding greatness of the power and promise of God, and the innermost secrets of the provisions of the Christian covenant, we perceive him, as it were, changing his voice: doctrine, precept, exhortation give place to prayer; the pen is laid down, and the sentence finished in ardent praise or intercession, to be afterwards written under the suggestion of the Holy Ghost, just as it left his heart. In some instances - such as the opening prayer to the Colossians and those that abound in the Thessalonian Epistles - the words go Off into petition and return again without disturbing the order, only leaving their richer sanctity on the text. In others again - most notably in the middle Of the Ephesians - there is an intentional suspension of the theme, and the prayer is as deliberate and set as when the Apostle knelt with the same Ephesians by the sea-shore; as clear and sharply defined as if it had been let into the body of the Epistle; perfect throughout from the bending of the knees and the orderly approach.

Download or read book The Story of the Canadian Revision of the Prayer Book Classic Reprint written by William James Armitage and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-12-05 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Canadian Revision of the Prayer Book Book in Canada, and incidentally in other branches of the Anglican Communion. In this sense it is a companion to the Prayer Book, and it is hoped may find a place in the homes of Church people generally. One great object will be served, if the book becomes a Manual or Hand-book for students. The term is used in a wide sense and refers not only to students in theology, preparing for the Ministry of the Church, but also to Study classes and Bible classes. If the young people of the Church are to grow up loyal and faithful members, they must be instructed in her principles, and be led to appreciate her services. The subject matter of the book is so important that several Bishops have already intimated that they will make it a text-book for candidates for Holy Orders, and that they will ask the various training colleges to place it in the curriculum. The need of adapting and enriching the Book of Common Prayer to meet the conditions of life in Canada had long been felt. The first Bishop of Nova Scotia (dr Charles Inglis), the first of our Colonial Bishops, when he entered upon his duties in 1787, soon discovered that he had to alter certain prayers to meet the necessities of the case, in more than one Province. He records in his Journal interviews with the Governors of the day in which he sought authority for the changes he proposed and for the forms he wished to use. Bishop Inglis was a man of large experience; he had been a missionary in Pennsylvania, in New Jersey, and he had been the Rector of the important parish of Trinity, New York. He prepared prayers for our Provincial Legislatures and forms for the Laying of a Corner Stone and the Con secration of Churches.
