150 Quotes to Celebrate 150 Years of God’s Unchanging Grace in Christ

Just as God always located Himself to show mercy to His people in the Old Testament, God also locates Himself today.  God comes to us in His Word and in the sacraments He gives to the church.  In other words, we have access to God and His mercy when we read His Word or go to church.  Church is today’s Zion, a place where God gives His word, mercy, and forgiveness to His faithful people. – (Steinmann, Is God Listening? Making Prayer a Part of Your Life, CPH, pp.91)

150 Quotes to Celebrate 150 Years of God’s Unchanging Grace in Christ

No wonder then, that Christians have been urged through the centuries to see the Psalter not only as the church’s prayer book, but as Christ’s prayer book as well.  That is, as the written Word of God the Psalter is not only words about Jesus Christ but also words from Jesus Christ.  When we pray the Psalms, it is our Lord Himself who prays with us.  (Senkbeil, Dying to Live: The Power of Forgiveness, p. 153, CPH, 1994)

150 Quotes to Celebrate 150 Years of God’s Unchanging Grace in Christ

We need to confess the sins of our society because we are part of society.  No matter which society we as Christians are a part of, we are affected by it.  The solutions to our society’s problems are not solved by us self-righteously viewing ourselves separate from our culture and unaffected by its sins.  If Ezra had done that, he would have created a distance between himself and the people who were disobeying God’s command.  By remaining a part of a society that was ignoring God’s command, he was able to pray a prayer that transformed his society.  His prayer was a request for forgiveness that would touch the lives of every one of his people so that they would all change.” – Comments based on Ezra 9:6-15 (Steinmann, Is God Listening? Making Prayer a Part of Your Life, CPH, pp.66-67)
