The peace of the Lord be with you!
It is now my second Sunday in Africa. My first slipped away from me as work absorbed my day. But today, I joined the newly formed Liturgical Protestant Service at 8am. I believe it used to meet on Saturday evenings. It is an answer to prayer that I may join other Christians of similar backgrounds in the liturgy, even if I cannot join them in fellowship at the altar. Today's Communion Liturgy clearly professed the Reformed view of only a spirtual presence of Christ.
After service, I am catching up on my blog readings that I have neglected for several weeks and how pleased I am to find a nugget in the sermon of a friend, Pr. Douthwaite of St. Athanasius in Vienna, VA. One of the perishoners there, Dr. Gene Veith, posts poertions of sermons often. Here is the link: Life Sunday.
We all want to be loved. How wonderful it is to know that God loves us; in fact loves us so much that He would do the unthinkable in giving His Son to save us. Amen.
