The Lord and His Prayer quotes
"Heaven and earth are to interlocking arenas of God's good world" (24)
"How can the Prince of Peace defeat evil if he has to abandon Peace in order to do so?" (27)
"Thy Kingdom Come: to pray this means seeing the world in binocular vision. See it with the love of the creator for his spectacularly beautiful creation; and see it with the deep grief of the creator for the battle-scarred state in which the world now finds itself. (31)
Jesus waited until his followers asked him for a prayer; and the reason they asked is becuase they saw what he was doing. Something tells me there is a lesson there. (35)
Scripture is full of stories of people who brought their deep natural longings into the presence of God, and found them answered by being taken up within his purposes. (43)
Instead of forgiveness, our generation has been taught the vague notion of "tolerance" (50)
Jesus was called to throw himself on the wheel of world history, so that, even though it crushed him, it might start to turn in the opposite direction (69)
