‘O thou who hast the hearts of all men in Thine hand, form my heart according to the Word, according to the image of Thy Son, so shall Christ the Word, and His Word, be my strength and comfort.’ – Puritan Prayer
Everything we do is formative.
Everything we do is liturgical.
How we spend our days is how we spend our lives.
As one of my pastors said regularly, ‘Don’t let the world teach you theology.’
So, ‘Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.’ [Rom 12:2]
Don’t flippantly be formed by the world – but by the mercies of God, ‘present your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God…’ [Rom 12:1].
Be formed,
