1 Corinthians 15:21-22 King James Version (KJV)

21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims

“The Affirmation of the Divine Presence
If we desire to enter into our supernatural inheritance, the deep tranquility of faith, coming unto God, we must be completely absorbed by the thought that He is; and rewards, in such ways as we can endure, them–and them only–that diligently seek Him for His own sake alone.”

―  Quote from Evelyn Underhill, included in A Private House of Prayer by Leslie D. Weatherhead

Psalm 100:5 King James Version (KJV)

5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims

“Men who come to God not to dictate but to receive have approached prayer from the right angle.  They have seen that prayer is giving God an opportunity to bestow what He is more willing to give than we are to welcome.  Prayer is the taking hand.  As a sixteenth century mystic said, ‘Prayer is not to ask what we wish of god, but what God wishes of us.’ “

“O Lord! it was thy Power that enabled me to forsake Sin in my Youth, and I have felt thy Bruises for Disobedience; but, as I bowed under them thou didst heal me, continuing a Father and a Friend:  I feel thy Power now, and I beg that, in the approaching trying Moment, thou wilt keep my heart steadfast unto thee.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise

2 Peter 3:9 King James Version (KJV)

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims

“Our fundamental fallacy about God is our thought of him as an artificer, not far-off, who has left this machine of his running by its own laws, and who cannot do anything with it except by intervention.  Let us banish so primitive a picture of God, so childish a conception of the universe!  He is not far-off.  He is the Indwelling Presence in the World, as our life is in our bodies, controlling all.  He is the immanent and eternal Creator, and the laws, some known to us, some unknown, are his ways of doing things.”

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims

“Whatever has been said by me, Thou the only God, do Thou come to my help, the one true, and eternal substance, where is no discord, no confusion, no shifting, no indigence, no death.  Where is supreme concord, supreme evidence, supreme steadfastness, supreme fullness and life supreme.  Where nothing is lacking, nothing redundant.”
