Feast Of Stephen, Deacon, First

We Are So Utterly Ordinary, So Commonplace, While We Profess To Know A Power The Twentieth Century Does Not Reckon With.... Oh That God Would Make Us Dangerous!

Desire Is The Putting Of My Will Into God’s Concern. It’s Not A Passive, Sitting Back In Your Easy Chair, Folding Your Arms Sort Of Thing, Which Says, 'well, I’m Willing, If God Would Only Give Me A Good Swift Kick And Send Me.' That’s Willingness All Right. But God Doesn’t Want Willingness, He Wants Will! He Wants Your Will Put Behind Those Desires.

If We Are The Sheep Of His Pasture, Remember That Sheep Are Headed For The Altar.

In My Own Experience I Have Found That The Most Extravagant Dreams Of Boyhood Have Not Surpassed The Great Experience Of Being In The Will Of God, And I Believe That Nothing Could Be Better. That Is Not To Say That I Do Not Want Other Things, And Other Ways Of Living, And Other Places To See, But In My Right Mind I Know That My Hopes And Plans For Myself Could Not Be Any Better Than He Has Arranged And Fulfilled Them. Thus May We All Find It, And Know The Truth Of The Word Which Says, He Will Be Our Guide Even Until Death.
