Christ Meditation

IN the good Providence of God, we are permitted once again to keep watch during the hours of Good Friday around the Cross of Christ. We look, by faith, to the time when we shall see the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and shall behold Him whom they pierced on His return to judge the earth and the world by fire. Until that day the servants can do no more than to heed and follow His command: "What I say unto you I say unto all, Watch." And therefore are we here to watch, with fear, with hope, with love, with searchings of heart, where our Lord was crucified. Here is that Holy Cross on which...

It can be easy to forget to give thanks to your Lord every day. It's not intentional, but family, work, and life obligations can get in your way. Those words will always be true. That is what this book was created for, to help you reaffirm every day what you have always known. With this audiobook, every day, you can renew your commitment and faith in Jesus.

The world wants to make us into its image. The cares and pleasures of this life demand our hearts' devotion. We are always in the process of being transformed. We become like what we worship—which means we will find true rest only as we worship Christ and become more like him. In his revised devotional work, Kris Lundgaard invites us to forsake unfulfilling idols and set our hearts on adoring Christ instead.

Does your heart pound at night, and make it impossible to sleep? Do you lie awake and overthink every little thing? Is stress and anxiety a constant in your life? As soon as your head hits the pillow, the war begins. You need to wake up early the next day, but you just can’t get to sleep. One negative thought leads to another and before you know it they’re spiraling out of control, and you instantly feel dark and foreboding. Worst of all, it follows you into another groggy day.

The practice of Lectio Divina or Sacred Reading is method involving prayerfully interacting with scripture. This practice is helpful as a tool to activate the transforming power of the Word in one'sy life. In this method short passages of scripture are read several times with periods of reflection and quiet between the readings. The normal practice in reading any book is to master its content, but mastering the Bible is not the focus of Lectio Divina. That focus is to let the Word master the reader.

THERE are two motives which have influenced us in the production of this little book. We have sought, on the one hand, to supply aids to devotion either for the use of the family or of the individual, and on the other, to furnish points of suggestion to the student who is a prospective preacher. Perhaps it may he thought that these two aims are incongruous, and it would be too much to hope that in both we have succeeded; yet devotion is not the absence of thought, and thought is not necessarily the absence of devotion. At all events, the presence in the mind of two so reactionary aims may ...

The heart, a term used all over the Bible, is a complex reality that captures the totality of a person's inner nature. This book explores the three capacities of the heart (knowing, loving, and choosing), explaining how each is redeemed through the threefold office of Christ (prophet, priest, and king). As listeners comprehend the heart as the source of all their thoughts, fears, words, and actions, they will discover principles and practices for orienting their hearts to truly love and obey God with all that they are.

Unveiled Horizon is not meant to be an academic work, for I am not an academic expert. It's not meant to provide answers to your questions. Rather, as I have said in messages for many years, my desire is not to answer your questions, but instead to question your answers. Here are some of my most relentless questions: What does an authentic, vulnerable, intimate, and unhindered relationship with God look like? What does it feel like to live an existence with no judgement, no guilt, no shame, no sin consciousness, no sin nature? What does it sound like to abide in the rest of the living Word?...

The words from which I wish to speak to you, you will find in i Corinthians ii. 4, 5: And my... preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God." The Apostle speaks of two kinds of preaching, and, as resulting from that, of two styles of religious life in the congregation. There is a preaching in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, and there is a preaching in the wisdom of words. As a result of preaching in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, the...
