Waiting for Fire to Descend

"Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on your altar and watch for fire to descend." Psalm 5:3


Here is a brilliant physicist turned Anglican priest/theologian/philosopher/Benedictine from Wales now living in the US (President of Renovare) who teaches us about reading the Bible. I've met Chris and have been taught by him. I also had an extended conversation with him. He is dripping with humor and wisdom ... a young desert father. I highly recommend his book, Fire of the Word and him as a speaker.

If you're looking for a refreshing and wise and humorous soul for tutelage in the ways of God...here is one. His life and ministry are refreshing because so many American preachers/teachers are full of egoism and striving for numbers. He is not one.

Our church is participating in a week of prayer and fasting this week, and watching this video was a really inspiring kick-off for the extra time I'll be spending in the word this week. Thanks for sharing it!
