“[John Calvin's] treatment of the person and work of Christ, of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer, of prayer and liturgy, of the sacraments, and of the way in which we have an in-built sense of the divine that we suppress to our great sorrow - these are all immense contributions to Christian thought. The same could be said of his commentaries, which are still regularly consulted by biblical critics today.” WayPersonsSaidStillsTodayChristianSpiritChristPrayerDivineSorrowHolyBuiltCriticsBelieverHoly SpiritContributionTreatmentImmenseBiblicalSacramentsCommentaryLiturgy Author:Oliver D.

“I went to a mosque in Philadelphia with [my wife] in December 24, 1999. And we we went to this mosque in Philly, and I just had such a strong reaction to the prayer.

And so to be in this prayer and the imam is doing the prayer in Arabic and I don't understand a word of Arabic but I just remember these tears just coming down my face and it just really connecting to my spirit in a way that felt like I needed to pay attention to that.” WayRememberFacesSpiritStrongFeltPrayerPayAttentionWifeTearsNeededMy WifeReactionsPay AttentionGroundedConnectingDecemberPhiladelphiaMosques Author:Mahershala Ali
“It doesn't really matter so much what the words are I don't think - maybe if you're a real expert in prayer you could do it through silence. But I think sometimes it helps to express it and to know you're expressing it to God. Paul talked about praying with your spirit and that's basically what it is, it's expressing what you feel deep down in a language which God gives you.” IfsThinkingKnowsGivingFeelsRealSometimesMatterHelpingSpiritLanguagePrayerSilencePrayingExpertsDeep Down Author:Nicky Gumbel
