“I ask for anointing, I ask for authority,
I ask for Your Spirit to make the appointment
Where You meet with Your people in truth and in triumph.”
21 Prayers, p. 92
For An April Fools Letters Feature, I Was Expecting More Weirdness
Letter to the Editor: Greetings Pastor Wilson. I’d love to address your 21 theses on Christ’s covering, but I don’t have a blog, so perhaps in another place. One point and a few questions. ...
Gone Really Wrong
“We think that our cultural disintegration has to be more in the grand style—kind of like a Super Bowl halftime gone wrong, as being watched by someone who had just dropped a couple of hits of contaminated acid.”
Mere Christendom, p. ix
The Ultimate Cycle
“We worship You now, You are God the great Writer,
And Christ, the Lord Jesus, is our God the Written,
And Your doubled Spirit is God the pure Reader.”
21 Prayers, p. 91
Speaking of Israel
“I don’t agree with Manifest Destiny, but I still live in Idaho.”
American Milk & Honey, p. 202
They Go Together
“Crack open our hearts and pour in Your Spirit.
As we open Your Word, as we open our Bibles.”
21 Prayers, p. 89
Forgotten Forever
“The gospel is the message that through Christ—through His sinless life, His death, burial, and resurrection—Israel finally got it right. Because of Christ, and through faith in Him, the incident with the golden calf can be forgotten forever.”
American Milk & Honey, p. 197
And Don’t Give It a Second Thought . . .
A Beautiful Hinge
“The apostle Paul taught that the blessings to an obedient Israel in Deuteronomy are promises that are available to Gentiles through Christ (Eph. 6:2). This reality is the hinge upon which his argument in Romans 11 turns.”
American Milk and Honey, p. 194
The Far Edges
“I ask that this movement would be the result
Of the power Christ showed when He rose from the dead,
Moving within us—in, through, and under.
Help us to know the gospel as central,
Help us to see it right out to the edges.”
21 Prayers, p. 89
