Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians? Have you ever been told that meditation is not Christian, or that it has no biblical basis? Do you long for a deeper and more personal relationship with God? Today's Christians have too often misunderstood meditation and its place in their faith tradition. Many of us have heard that meditation belongs only to Buddhism or other Eastern spiritual practices. In this short volume, William E. DeWitt outlines the scriptural basis for meditation and how it allows us to find the Holy Spirit within ourselves. We spend most of our time in our busy minds, but meditation leads us from our minds to our hearts, where Christ lives. Unlike basic meditation, which is often centered on the self, Christian meditation helps us make Christ the center of our lives. It is not a technique, DeWitt emphasizes, but a spiritual discipline. A lifelong Christian, DeWitt discovered later in life that regular meditation adds a rich dimension to his faith, enhancing his understanding of the Bible and deepening his relationship not only with God but with those around him. In simple, straightforward language, he demystifies meditation practice, the greatest experience of God's grace he has ever known besides salvation itself. If you are seeking a more peaceful heart and greater spiritual fulfillment, learn more about what DeWitt calls this gift from God.

Download or read book Christian Meditation written by Hans Urs Von Balthasar and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2011-10-12 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While von Balthasar's classic Prayer is unparalleled in its development of the Trinitarian, Christological, Mariological and ecclesiological dimensions of prayer, Christian Meditation is a short, readable and eminently practical guide to that form of prayer which God's revelation in Jesus Christ has made indispensable: meditation on the word of God revealing the inner depths of God to man and--since it comes from God made man--the inner depths of man to himself. In a treatment that is both fresh and profound, Balthasar describes the central elements of all Christian meditation, provides a guide for making the meditation and then points the way to the union that prayer achieves in the footsteps of Mary, within the Church and in and for the world. "Consequently, Christian meditation is entirely trinitarian and at the same time entirely human. In order to find God, no one need reject being human personally or socially, but in order to find God all must see the world and themselves in the Holy Spirit as they are in God's sight." - Hans Urs von Balthasar

Download or read book Meditation written by Charles H. Spurgeon and published by Felipe chavarro. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To encourage God’s people, we present this issue of the Free Grace Broadcaster on Meditation. Meditation is essential for a healthy walk with Christ and growth in grace. Charles Spurgeon introduces this subject with a helpful overview of the importance, practice, and benefits of biblical meditation. Thomas Watson defines what it is. Thomas Manton is convinced meditation is a biblical duty, and he tells us why. What is the nature of meditation? Isaac Ambrose answers that and describes the time, place, and matter of that holy practice. William Bates beautifully instructs us in occasional meditation, focusing on God’s creation, and George Swinnock offers five descriptions of solemn and set meditation on sacred subjects. Are there real dangers in neglecting this holy act of deep thinking? Edmund Calamy lists twelve! And they are sobering. John Owen, a deeply spiritually-minded pastor and theologian, presents us with practical helps for meditating upon God, and then A. W. Pink meticulously shows us how to approach a biblical text so that we can chew the Bread of Life. Are you new to meditation and wonder what to meditate about? In a second article, Thomas Watson gives a beautiful panorama of biblical themes to fix our hearts on, starting with God in eternity, progressing to Christ in history, and extending to heaven and hell. Then, Jonathan Edwards urges us to show our love to Christ; he does so by giving us a wonderful description of His loveliness. Spurgeon, a great advocate and practitioner of meditation, closes this issue by instructing us with sweet meditations of Jesus Christ our Lord. And how precious they are! Be forewarned: meditation is hard in our too-busy, distracted world; but this FGB is a brief “how-to” that we pray will fan the flames of your heart to seek the glory of Christ in Scripture and to love Him as never before.
