I have been thinking about this quote this past week. What do you think about it, do you agree? leave a comment.

Remember:
Scripture meant one thing before you were born,
means the same now, and will mean the same, should you die.

Hope you have a great St Patrick’s day. Its that time of year to read and reflect on St Patrick’s Breastplate enjoy and be Blessed!

St. Patrick’s Breastplate

I bind unto myself today
The strong name of the Trinity,
By invocation of the same,
The Three in One and One in Three.

I bind this day to me forever,
By power of faith, Christ’s Incarnation;
His baptism in the Jordan River;
His death on cross for my salvation;
His bursting from the spicèd tomb;
His riding up the heavenly way;
His coming at the day of doom;
I bind unto myself today.

I bind unto myself today
The power of God to hold and lead,
His eye to watch, His might to stay,
His ear to hearken to my need.
The wisdom of my God to teach,
His hand to guide, his shield to ward,
The word of God to give me speech,
His heavenly host to be my guard.

Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

I bind unto myself the name,
The strong name of the Trinity;
By invocation of the same.
The Three in One, and One in Three,
Of whom all nature hath creation,
Eternal Father, Spirit, Word:
Praise to the Lord of my salvation,
salvation is of Christ the Lord.

March 2010
Read: All of Ephesians
Write: List all references to power. What are the different types of power?
e.g. Eph. 1:19 “his incomparably great power for us who believe”; Eph. 1:21 “all rule and
authority, power and dominion, and every name that can be invoked”
Pray: Rejoice in Jesus’ resurrection power and ask for that power to be demonstrated in places
you feel weak.

Tim Keller on Hell

A new weekly series on Out of Ur about the doctrine of Hell began a couple of weeks ago. Each week there will be a post (video or written) from a church leader on their view of Hell and the role of the doctrine today. N. T. Wright kicks off  the series on eternal damnation. The second edition of the series on hell features John Piper. Please leave your comments and thoughts, it promises to be very interesting. It is a long time since I have heard anyone talk about Hell and I am looking forward to hearing from you.
