K. P. Yohannan on willingness to suffer

Posted on July 3, 2012 Written by Mark McIntyre 1 Comment

This quotation is from Against the Wind, by K. P. Yohannan.

” . . . if you humble yourself and repent, saying, ‘Lord, my heart is cold. I am going after the things of the world. I am more concerned with my health and my comfort and my wife and kids than Your kingdom and Your people. Lord, I am more concerned about my comfort and future than the lost in the villages going to hell. Please forgive me, Lord. Would you change my heart?’ – I tell you, something amazing will happen inside of you. His anointing, grace and peace will enter your life, drawing you closer and closer to His side and changing your heart to be one that is willing to give whatever He asks because of your love for Him.
Follow in the footsteps of Christ. Be one who is willing to suffer.”

Beware the leaven . . . thoughts on contemplative prayer

Contemplative prayer has become a hot topic. My concern is that by applying labels and generalities we miss an opportunity to learn and grow. The danger is that we throw out the wheat along with the chaff.

The Goal of Christian Teaching – Love From a Pure Heart

Confused About the Goal In Matthew 22:37-39 and Mark 12:29-31, Jesus tells us that the two great commands are to love God with our entire being and love our neighbors. The concept is simple but the execution is difficult. Only two commands and if we’re honest, we admit that we cannot keep either one of […]

What I’ve been doing instead of blogging

Those who regularly read this blog have probably realized that over the last year, posts have been rather sporadic. I took a long break between Memorial Day and Labor Day and haven’t posted very regularly since coming back to it in September. I thought I would take a few minutes to tell you what has […]
