Tear Off The Mask

Tony — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 11:00:25 +0000

Dear Lord, give me the truths which are veiled by the doctrines and articles of faith,
which are masked by the pious words of sermons and books.
Let my eyes penetrate the veil, and tear off the mask,
that I can see your truth face to face.

Saint John of the Cross – Spanish mystic and Carmelite friar and priest (1542 – 1591)

Forgive them all, Lord

Tony — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 11:00:57 +0000

Forgive them all, O Lord:
Our sins of omission and our sins of commission;
The sins of our youth and the sins of our riper years;
The sins of our souls and the sins of our bodies;
Our secret and our more open sins;
Our sins of ignorance and surprise,
And our more deliberate and presumptuous sin;
The sins we have done to please ourselves
And the sins we have done to please others;
The sins we know and remember,
And the sins we have forgotten;
The sins we have striven to hide from others
And the sins by which we have made others offend;
Forgive them, O Lord, forgive them all for his sake,
Who died for our sins and rose for our justification,
And now stands at thy right hand to make intercession for us,
Jesus Christ our Lord.Â Amen.

John Wesley (1703 – 1791)

Continue in God’s presence

Tony — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 11:40:32 +0000

O my God, since Thou art with me,
and I must now, in obedience to Thy commands,
apply my mind to these outward things,
I beseech Thee to grant me the grace to continue in Thy presence;
and to this end do Thou prosper me with Thy assistance,
receive all my works, and possess all my affections.’
‘Lord of all pots and pans and things … Make me a saint by getting meals
And washing up the plates!’ Amen.

Brother Lawrence (1605-1691)

Football Hooligan to evangelist: Renton Baker interview

Tony — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 11:26:19 +0000

The Premier League is in full swing and football fans will be on the edge of their seats either in their living rooms or on the terraces, cheering their teams on. Although it’s referred to as the ‘beautiful game’, football does have an ugly side which rears its head from time to time. Renton Baker knows all about that and used to be a football hooligan before giving his life to Christ and becoming an evangelist for Avanti Ministries. Tony Miles spoke to him live in the Premier studio last Saturday:

Strength in weakness

Tony — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 14:12:01 +0000

A prayer by Jeremy Taylor (1613– 1667) He was a clergyman in the Church of England who achieved fame as an author during the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell.

Only when we are weak, O Lord, are we strong.
As we pass through this vale of suffering
grant us the gift of your safety and peace,
the gentleness of your Spirit
and the assurance of your mercy and love;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Simon Pinchbeck (Tough Talk) Interview

Tony — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 14:14:00 +0000

The Bible is full of unlikely characters who God chooses to do his work: Christian persecutor – Saul, a killer – Moses, and the adulterous David spring to mind. But who does God use today?

Simon Pinchbeck became a criminal AFTER he upheld the law as a policeman and now he’s an evangelist for the powerlifting God squad, Tough Talk.

Simon is featured amongst other members in the new Tough Talk’s DVD ‘Stories from the Front Line’.

He joined me live in Premier’s studio:

Open and illuminate our minds

Tony — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 21:00:46 +0000

Almighty, eternal, and merciful God,
whose Word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path,
open and illuminate our minds,
that we may pourely and perfectly understand thy Word
and that our lives may be conformed to what we have rightly understood,
that in nothing we may be displeasing to thy majesty,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The prayer with which Ulrich Zwingli began his Bible lectures in Zurich each day.
