Reflecting on three days in http://www.ffald-y-brenin.org/.. Here are some of my thoughts I posted in response to a friends question, how was it? "Yes totally wonderful ...completely diferrent to what I expected.. It's as if you go there and He just meets you and says right now this is what I am after and about in you. You come away feeling profoundly loved and hugely aware of His power and convinced that great things come through prayer. Cant remember the last time I heard Gods voice so clearly and recovered a very Christ centredness.
It was much less a come and recieve the anointing...more come and I will reveal myself to you. So I've come back so much more aware of the power of the cross, how loved I am, and how much more God is committed to the mission of DCM than I am.
Many things took me by surprise, like litergy was not the enemy of charismatic gifts, reflective reading of scripture had huge power, and secondly praying for the creation was new... so becoming connected not only to heaven but also to earth and stewarding the earth through prayer, there was something very profound in that. I also liked the connectedness with the past... I am very evangelical and protestant and some of the Celtic spirituality was very deep... I will return.
The Theological Musings of a Inner City Missionary... The term Christian Hedonist comes from Dr John Pipers book Desiring God where he describes the Christians Quest for Joy that is found in the Glory of God and the Enjoyment of Him. Following the Missionary God in His Mission results in delight for me and Glory for Him, may the Nations be Glad!
