Christ Meditation

A DEEP concern for the welfare of my fellow-mortals, and an earnest desire that they may be made partakers of the joy and glory of that salvation which comes by Christ, has induced me to present to them in this form, the following Sermon, written by John Venn, late rector of Clapham — a valued and experienced Christian; as it contains hints well calculated to produce serious reflection, to lead into humble watchfulness of spirit, and the endeavour to walk so closely with God, that whatsoever is done may be done to his glory. I am best satisfied to add, that my own observation and ...

“This Day Thou Shall Be With Me In Paradise.” (Luke 23:43) Meditations on the Second Word from the Cross by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen For years, Archbishop Sheen gave a series of powerful presentations on Christ’s Passion and His seven last words from the Cross. As a Scripture scholar, Archbishop Sheen knew full well the power contained in preaching Christ crucified. With St. Paul, he could say, “For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified” (1 Cor. 2:2). During his last recorded Good Friday address in 1979, Archbishop Sheen spoke of having given ...

In the midst of his suffering in prison, St. Paul gives us a true glimpse into his faith and hope. Despite his circumstances, he describes his life as a joyful journey, because it is under the leadership of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Incarnated Word of God. During his time in prison, St. Paul neither expresses care for being deprived of his preaching the Gospel, or for his lack of freedom to meet his Beloved. Yet, in the midst of his pain and suffering, his soul did not cease to rejoice in the victorious life of faith in Jesus Christ – in every minute of every day. He did not view faith ...

Reader, What do you think of these words? They are short words, and soon spoken; but they contain great things. These three words are the essence and substance of Christianity. If your heart can really go along with them, it is well with your soul: if not, you may be sure you have yet much to learn. Let me try to set before you in what sense “Christ is all;” and let me ask you, as you read, to judge yourself honestly, that you may not make shipwreck in the judgment of the last day.

Making Our Home With God is a collection of travel meditations that pair New Testament readings with glimpses of the New Jerusalem in such diverse places as Iona, Chartres, Samburu, and Antarctica, as well as in one’s own home. Marks invites the reader on a pilgrimage that entails taking nothing—no extra coat, shoes, or bag, only an open heart and mind—on a journey home to life in Christ, where our hearts welcome others who hunger and thirst for what we may take for granted. Those new companions, who are Christ in His many faces and forms, change our lives forever. Patricia Marks, now...

THE title of this tract is an Apostolic caution against false doctrine. It forms part of a warning which St. Paul addressed to Hebrew Christians. It is a caution just as much needed now as it was eighteen hundred years ago. Never, I think, was it so important for Christian ministers to cry aloud continually, “Be not carried about.” That old enemy of mankind, the devil, has no more subtle device for ruining souls than that of spreading false doctrine. “A murderer and a liar from the beginning,” he never ceases going to and fro in the earth, seeking whom he may devour. Outside the ...

BELOVED FRIENDS,— I wish to write a few words to you about your souls. I want those souls to be saved. And I invite you all to take the advice I give you today, and that is, to “consider your ways.” I write to you, because the time is short. The day of grace is slipping away,—the day of judgment is drawing near,—the thread of life is winding up,—a few more short years, and every soul of us will have gone to his own place,—we shall each of us be in heaven or hell! I cannot reach your hearts, I know well. It is not me,—it needs the finger of God. But I can set before you my ...

BELOVED FRIENDS AND BRETHREN, I cannot reach your hearts, I know well. It is not in me,—it needs the finger of God. But I can set before you my earnest wishes for every class among you, and I will do it, the Lord being my helper. Bear with me if I say things that sound sharp and hard. Set it down to my anxiety for your salvation;—I mean it all for your good. I write none other things but what I have gathered from the Bible, and as such I commend them to your consciences. Consider what I say, and the Lord give you understanding in all things. I grant you may be quick and clever about the...

Wenn wir verstehen könnten, wie das Böse funktioniert, wäre das nicht die Lösung für viele Probleme? Während gewisse Kreise im Namen des Guten Angst und Schrecken verbreiten, kann vieles, was uns ängstigt, logisch erklärt werden. Dieses Buch nimmt sich eines Teils in uns an, der als unser Ego bekannt ist. Aber nur wenige wissen, was sich hinter dieser Bezeichnung versteckt. Darum soll hier erklärt werden, was das Ego ist, welche Aufgaben es für uns wahrnimmt und wie es auf uns wirkt.
