A Life of Prayer and Holy Obedience in a War-Wracked World
In this substantial piece by Richard Foster on the relationship between prayer and holy obedience in fighting spiritual warfare, he reminds us of Edward Payson’s words, “Prayer is the first thing, the second thing, the third thing necessary to a minister. Pray, then, pray, pray, pray.”
Emulating Francis and Clare
Richard Foster remembers the sweet friendship of St. Francis and St. Clare—both of Assisi. They have so much to teach us today about living life fully in the Spirit, meeting God in nature, and walking with humility, love, obedience, and joy.
Focused
How do we follow Jesus? Lilias Trotter suggests it has a lot to do with our focus—what we think about, what our aim is, which path we set out to follow, and whether or not we are willing to drop anything that gets in the way of our devotion and obedience to Christ.
The Jesus Way of Life
“Jesus Christ calls all peoples everywhere to be his disciples. And disciples are those who intend to live their lives as Jesus would live them if Jesus were them.” Richard Foster examines this Jesus Way in terms of relevance, patterns, and grace.
