“God makes it clear that his image bearers must live in dynamic communion with one another, thereby discovering and celebrating the good gift of one's own gender and that of the other. With a cross-shaped lens, we behold the beauty of man for woman and woman for man. None of us has ever lost that original design. No matter how broken we have become, we have never lost the potential to be good gifts for others!” MenMatterLostClearDesignBrokenMen And WomenCrossesOriginalsGenderBe GoodCelebrateDiscoveringCommunionLenses Author:Andrew Comiskey
“When we read or hear how some professed Christian has turned defaulter, or lapsed into drunkenness, or slipped from the communion table into open disgrace, it simply means than a human arm has broken. The man has forsaken the everlasting arms.” MenHumansMeanChristianHe ManBrokenArmsTablesCommunionEverlastingDisgraceDrunkennessForsaken Author:Theodore L. Cuyler
“Bread of the world, in mercy broken, Wine of the soul, in mercy shed, By whom the words of life were spoken, And in whose death our sins are dead: Look on the heart by sorrow broken, Look on the tears by sinners shed; And be Thy feast to us the token That by Thy grace our souls are fed.” WorldLooksHeartSoulSinGraceTearsBrokenSorrowMercyWineBreadSinnerFedsShedCommunionTokens Book:The Poetical Works of Hemans, Heber and Pollok: Complete in One Volume Source: The Poetical Works of Hemans, Heber and Pollok: Complete in One Volume
“When Jesus says, 'Take, eat. This is my body that was broken for you,' He says, I want my body in you. (Pause. . . shouts and claps) I want my blood in you. And every time you celebrate this rite, it is a reminder that you belong to me, and I belong to you. And he said, 'I will drink no more wine until I drink it new with you and the kingdom of God. Communion is the most romantic ordinance. Eh, Eh, Eh. (He laughs. Pause. . . the audience shouts and claps.) It is the most romantic ordinance between two lovers.” WantSaidTwoBodyJesusAudienceLaughingBloodBrokenLoversDrinkWineKingdomsCelebrateCommunionPausesRemindersKingdom Of GodRiteOrdinancesMost RomanticTwo Lovers Author:T.
