We pray for this gracious forgiveness then because it has been promised to us (1 Jn. 1:9). We pray for it because it has already been accomplished.

We pray for this gracious forgiveness then because it has been promised to us (1 Jn. 1:9). We pray for it because it has already been accomplished.
The Sabbath is more than just one day out of seven. It is the queen of days. It is, to borrow another line from another part of McCarthy's story, “the day to shape the days upon.” And in the remembrance of this there is joy.
Direct and intimate attention affirms visibly our commitment and love. Doubly so with the Lord’s Prayer because as a whole, it draws us closer to the Father and places us in His care.
And the getting of the cash is taking too long..... so his hooker gets out of the car.
That makes this prayer the foundational prayer of the church because the Person who prays this prayer places it above all other prayers.
With heaven a reality that Christian experience now, all of Lewis' analogy is being played out in the life of the church.
C. S. Lewis is a drum major in the Christian tradition. If you haven’t heard his song, you must remedy this.
Our suffering is never pointless, and through his own, Lewis is obliged to come to terms with the stakes of the game
To my mind, that's even more incredible and more beautiful than a magic world inside a wardrobe.
Am I advocating walking around in a constant state of grief over current affairs? No. And yet it is heart-breaking. I believe we are to strive for a balance
What can Lewis teach us today? How about working toward being a person who loves Christ and his bride and behaving like a person everyone wants to love.
That's why I'm so glad that, fifty-two years ago, Lewis died. Maybe that sounds harsh, but it's true.
The Lion gave him one shake and all his armour rattled like a tinker’s pack, and then -- hey-presto -- the Dwarf flew up in the air. He was as safe as if he had been bed, though he did not feel so.
If you are new to Lewis, or on your fourth copy of The Chronicles of Narnia we hope you enjoy this tribute of practical posts to one of the church's great treasures.
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
Our hope is that The Lord's Prayer is merely the first in a series of family worship materials designed to help parents.

Don't worry. This column isn't going anywhere unless I run out of opinions or Josh fires me.
You enfleshed that concept for me. I'm obliged to you in ways I'm only beginning to understand.
My son is Michael. I love him so much that I would die for him. Our family will walk side by side with him no matter what and I continue to pray that the battle will be won…in Jesus’ Name!
