A Prayer By Anselm

-
O Lord, grant us grace to desire You with our whole heart;
that so desiring, we may seek and find You;
and so finding You, may love You;
and loving You, may hate those sins
from which You have redeemed us.

-- Anselm (1033-1109 AD)

    We felt sorry for the Jets, and decided to let them win.

    And O Lord, grant us grace to bear with those who rub it in when their beloved Jets destroy our precious Packers. :)

    Hello, Pastor Mark. This is my first blog analysis for Evagelism/Church Health. This is an incredibly busy time of the year for me at the church - 6 rehearsals and 4 services a week with all the regular responsibilities of Assistant Pastorship/Music. Oh well, we'll make it!
    Wow, what an incredible prayer of holiness! I mean this is a model prayer for every Wesleyan/Armenian to pray. Talk about a God-chaser! Yes, we must have God's grace (and a lot of it) to even establish a desire for more of Him. And to desire Him with a whole heart takes care of spiritual maturity along the way. In so doing causing us to react differently to the sin that He cleanses us from. Man, what a prayer. What a commitment to holiness and right living, and what a great way to make your spiritual bed up. It sleeps a lot better that way! (sorry for the country-boy fram of mind!) Great stuff, Mark!!

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
