Breathing This In

I’m getting more and more into this. Blogging from remote locations in the moment when something captures me. I am watching small boats ripple through water like glass up at the rustic Stromwall cabin. So Many days are a fight to get up, but today God woke me up to His peace, His silence, His glory, His healing. And coffee. This is great breathing in this creation He allows us to dwell in.

Two large themes of my summer thus far have been healing and processing. These seasons come and go, and for the moment I am soaking in this slow and rejuvinating grace.

Thank you, Jesus, for being the healer of all of us who are suffering and for letting us come to you as we are.

  • The Office, the Bloodshed, and the Life
    “Consider well of the office, the bloodshed, and the holy life of Christ — His office is to expiate sin, and to destroy it. His blood was shed for it: his life condemned it. Love Christ, and thou wilt hate that which caused his death. Love him, and thou will be made more like him.” - [...]
  • The Gospel & Christian Experience
    “Spiritual experience that does not arise from God’s word is not Christian experience. . . . Not all that passes for Christian experience is genuine. An authentic experience of the Spirit is an experience in response to the gospel.  Through the Spirit the truth touches our hearts, and that truth moves our emotions and effects [...]

  • We glorify God by working out our own salvation
    “We glorify God by working out our own salvation. God has twisted together his glory and our good.

  • Ready for the Altar
    “It was with thanks He broke the bread, though sold with silver. The Son of Man is glorified, He says, and God is glorified in Him. So to the Cross He moves. He is ready for the altar. He will sacrifice with the voice of thanksgiving. ‘I will pay . . .’ This is His [...]
