Nine lectures on praying the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13).
Quote from page 10:
The social, political, and ecclesiastical realms are in a state of fermentation and turbulence. Powerful forces clash, the seas run high, and many a devout Christian anxiously asks: What will become of the Lord's church in such turbulent waters?
Or, what is to become of the Lord's people when the mighty ones of this world go forth to battle?
Be still, my soul, I know of a safe harbor and a secure fortress, it is the prayer, Our Father. There we may enter and seek rest and receiving strength, and our faith, comfort, and peace; our joy, courage, and confidence shall be renewed from day to day.
Quote from page 11
But is not every child of Adam, the entire human race, fatherless so long as God is not known as revealed through Jesus Christ?
Quote from page 15
The
Lord God in heaven formed the father-heart and the mother-heart, with their
infinite love that willingly faces death in the flames, or in the snow of an
icy winter night, when it’s a question of saving the child; the heart that
gladly robs itself so the child may rest snugly and securely; that suffers
privation, starves and endures, so the child shall want nothing—God formed
these hearts; hence he must have just such a heart himself; for that which is
created cannot be better than its creator.
