| Sometimes words have hands. They take hold of yours and lead you to a chair. “Sit down,” they say. Those words look you in the eye and speak truths you have long known but could not articulate. That is what Tanner’s book does. Here is a book brimming ...more | |

Untamed Prayers: 365 Daily Devotions on Christ in the Book of Psalms:
"My soul longs for this kind of honesty
In a world of Christian messages that shout to you that all you have to do is "be better." Chad Bird's writings bring us back to the honest Gospel. A Gospel that says "I know you can't but I can. I am here and I" Read more of this review » |

Untamed Prayers: 365 Daily Devotions on Christ in the Book of Psalms:
"I have longed for a devotion written by such a scholarly author. I love the connections the author makes with Hebrew such as in crown in Psalm 21, always pointing to our Lord. Honestly, in studying the psalms I have learned to lament and praise- all "

of
Untamed Prayers: 365 Daily Devotions on Christ in the Book of Psalms:
"The Psalms are the most quoted Old Testament book in the New Testament, which is one reason I’ve been wanting to do a deep dive into them. I was excited when I saw that Chad Bird had written a devotional on this topic. Based on his social media posts"

“The glory of Advent and Christmas is camouflaged by humility, anonymity and even foolishness, for our God likes to hide himself beneath his opposite.”
― Glory to God in the Highest: Devotions for Advent
― Glory to God in the Highest: Devotions for Advent
“When Jesus “starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably,” when his work in our lives “does not seem to make sense,” then he’s really getting somewhere. He’s pounding gaping holes in the painted drywall of our own wisdom to reveal the termite-infested 2x4s on the other side. Ripping up the carpet to point out an inch-wide crack in the foundation. What we thought would take a few months to fix and fancy up will, it turns out, require a lifetime of labor. But Christ is okay with that. He was, after all, raised in the home of a carpenter. And he’ll take his sweet time. C. S. Lewis says he “intends to come and live in it Himself,” but the truth is, he’s already moved in, put his underwear and socks in the drawers, and buckled on his tool belt. He’s here for the long haul.”

“Psalm 24 doesn’t ask us any questions to which it doesn’t give us the answers: “Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place?” The answer: the person with clean hands, a pure heart, a true soul and honest speech. And that puts us in a bind. For in one way or another, we all have dirtied our hands and muddied our souls in a selfish life. So who’s going to ascend this hill? Stand in God’s holy place? The King of Glory, that’s who. The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle! The Lord of Advent stayed clean to make us clean. And he became unclean with our evil on the cross to strip it away from us.”

“The moment we begin to feel satisfied that we are making some progress along the road of sanctification, it is all the more necessary to repent and confess that all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. Yet the Christian life is not one of gloom, but of ever increasing joy in the Lord. God alone knows our good works; all we know is His good work.”
