http://inthekingdominstitute.org/2013/12/a-magnificent-song
Gabriel sends Mary hurrying to Elizabeth with a child in her womb and wonder in her heart. One wouldn’t think she could be more filled at the moment. But the Holy Spirit who has overshadowed her womb spills out all around her. John the Baptist leaps for joy in Elizabeth’s womb. Elizabeth is filled with awe, wonder and blessing upon blessing for her young relative. In the end, Mary sings a. Staying in the Steam room (or where on earth is Carla?

Staying in the Steam room (or where on earth is Carla? Staying in the Steam room (or where on earth is Carla? I am leading the worship seminar in January 2015. At the Institute of Worship Studies (IWS) in Jacksonville, FL. This week’s announcement caused me to take a deep breath. Perhaps I should let my friends know where I am.

Another Wise Mentor | In The Kingdom Institute
http://inthekingdominstitute.org/2013/12/wisdom-on-deposit
But my students were not far off. These attributes are also completely consistent with the feminine personification of wisdom in the book of Proverbs. Here wisdom is painted as a mother calling to her children in the streets, as a wife more precious than jewels, as a sister who walks beside and speaks truth to us, and as a hostess at a nourishing banquet. Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn her seven pillars. She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mixed her wine;. She has also set her table.

Mary is waiting, too. When Gabriel arrives, she is waiting to marry Joseph. She is engaged, or rather, in more hefty biblical language and meaning, she is betrothed. She is technically married to Joseph. Now she is waiting out the prescribed year of preparation before she goes to live in Joseph’s house as Joseph’s wife. David F. Ford writes about wise friends in general, and I have Elizabeth written in my margin on that page. He writes,. The Shape of Living. Mary will need this deep engagement to gratitu...

Full of Grace | In The Kingdom Institute
http://inthekingdominstitute.org/2013/12/full-of-grace
I think my eyes get cloudy in all the wrong the places. I am working hard to paint my house coordinating colors, to center the pictures I hang on walls, and put my books on the shelves in some kind of coherent order. I’m really quite clear about these things. But grace, a reality as crucial to life as air here I get quite cloudy. So what is grace? If I stay right here, not content to be cloudy due to the immensity of the topic, I can make a couple of observations. This grace has everything to do with...

To her troubled heart. Be still, the Holy One. Will rest deep within your waiting womb. To her astonished feet. Blessed community in her great need. From mouth to elder ear.

A meditation on I Samuel 2: 1-10 and Luke 1: 34-50). Staying in the Steam room (or where on earth is Carla? On Pilgrimage (Psalm 84 Part 2). Christ as Our Shield.
