Dear Peter,

That was a wonderful sermon. Thank you.

I miss you here at 1st Pres, but am thankful to be able to listen to your sermons on line here at home. Your words and prayers will stay with me, I know.

I look forward to your next sermon.

It was so good to hear your voice too.

Love,
Barbara

Peter,

I’ve met you once before at CCH, but am not “proud” of who I was at that time. I have continued to listen to Tim’s sermons online, and have attempted to be part of the community in that way. The Spirit has been patiently guiding me to a Contemplative understanding and I have seen a marvelous work performed in me. I just listened to your Lenten sermon and will listen to it again soon. I also appreciate the daily prayers you send out. I always look forward to them as a way to enhance my own prayer life.

I was a fundamentalist minister for 11 years. I left almost three years ago because I could no longer identify with that. I had no intention of ever ministering again, but over and over, more and more, I feel that gentle urge of God. I find myself ministering in my daily life by simply loving and being present for others, but I feel there is more I should be doing. Again, your daily prayers have been especially helpful in this direction. Because I beleive in the power of prayer, and because I know you are a man of God and prayer, I ask you to speak a prayer on my behalf.

Bless you.

Thank you so much,
Last night, I was struggled to do the homework from the Bible study that I could’nt agree with questioner. But I did go through with moment of centering, writing down what I really think of question. I am not sure, I will discuss about it with my group or not. This morning your prayer assure me the Holy Spirit was with me through the struggle and conform me to stay in the bible study group.
God bless you, Sunhye

This has filled my morning with newfound calm. It reminds me of the message in a much loved poem – “Peace” by Henry Van Dyke – that never fails to inspire and renew Blessings and peace be with today, friend.

Comment on What is Contemplative Christianity? by Contemplative Christianity

Contemplative Christianity — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 15:46:23 +0000

Contemplative Christianity makes use of silence and solitude where our restless hearts and minds find their true home in Jesus. Solitude is where our demons reveal themselves and where we learn to cling to Jesus as we confront each one. Jesus spent 40 days in silence and solitude before beginning His ministry. During His ministry, He often went apart to spend time with His Father. He needed to hear His Father’s voice and to receive His empowering. In silence and solitude we deepen our walk with Jesus and learn to be fully present to Him in each moment.
