"Importance of the Devotional Mood" "To establish our hearts in the devotional mood we must abide in Christ, walk in the Spirit, pray without ceasing and meditate on the Word of God day and night. Of course this implies separation from the world, renunciation of the flesh and obedience to the will of God as we are able to understand it. And what is the devotional mood? It is nothing else than constant awareness of God's enfolding presence, the holding of inward conversations with Christ and private worship of God in spirit and in truth. Public worship embraces the community of believers and is genuine only as the individuals who compose the company assemble in the mood of reverent devotion. Anything short of this is sheer formality and must surely be unacceptable to God." (page 116 of "The Set of the Sail") Well, there is definitely some food for thought there. Enjoy it!

He is Our Blessed Precious Redeemer and at His feet is the best place to be.

I really like the Casting Crowns "Until the Whole World hears" album. So great! Enjoy!

I read this today, and thought I would share it with you all. "Jesus calls us to His rest and meekness is His method. The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort. He develops toward himself a kindly sense of humour and learns to say, "Oh, so you have been overlooked? They have placed someone else before you? They have whispered that you are pretty small stuff after all? And now you feel hurt because the world is saying about you the very things you have been saying about yourself? Only yesterday, you were telling God that you were a nothing, a mere worm of the dust. Where is your consistency? Come on, humble yourself, and cease to care what men think." If you haven't read Tozer, its very worthwhile to do so! Enjoy. What a privilege to be one of God's beloved worms!

Well, Happy New Year everyone! Here's another great song! I think it's especially significant when you realize that Amen is Hebrew for "THE LORD OUR KING IS FAITHFUL" and aren't you glad we have such a Faithful Lord and King? Enjoy! Est
