Yesterday is history tomorrow is a mystery I live for today all thanks be to God the Father God the son and God the Holy Spirit He is the producer of all life in everything. God's peace be with you. Amen.
I know the world uses the term meditation in the way you have. But the Christian faith has historically used the term meditation in a discursive sense. A deep profound engagement with the Word of God. In the confessions we are repeatedly exhorted to meditate on the Scriptures or the Catachism. The contemplation of Christianity arises from meditation on the word of God. Like Luther in Wartburg castle doing meditation on Roman's and then experiencing the gates of paradise opening. The worldly contemplation of Mr. Lynch cannot compare.
Christian contemplation of Scripture need not be set against the quiet contemplation of the present, but can be seen as filled with exhortation to redeem the time, even and including "being still and knowing." My point is in part that whereas the pagans are wont to elevate first article realities to second article "truths," the True second article King has redeemed the first article realities into a third article day by day life. If that makes sense....

Great message, today! Thank you for your wonderful writings. :)
Thank you. We don’t live chasing life-hacks. Christ is sufficient and overflowing.
Fantastic message----so needed in today's frenetic world. Made me think of Matthew 11:28-30. Thanks for the encouraging message---well done!

Thank you so much, I love the prayer from the East, O Heavenly King....come and abide in us!
Thank you so much. It has been a stressful day and I needed this reminder of who I am in Christ. Praying for you, brother.

It does. We approach the first article masks of God as people who have seen God unmasked in the crib and the cross, the water, bread and wine.
Deep, to say the least.
