The world wants to make us into its image. The cares and pleasures of this life demand our hearts' devotion. We are always in the process of being transformed. We become like what we worship—which means we will find true rest only as we worship Christ and become more like him. In his revised devotional work, Kris Lundgaard invites us to forsake unfulfilling idols and set our hearts on adoring Christ instead. Drawn by the wisdom of Puritan John Owen, this book is a profound call to contemplate Christ—his person, work, and love—in new and deeper ways, so that you are challenged and changed. Readers praise The Glorious Christ (formerly Through the Looking Glass) as a useful resource for group study as well as private meditation. Discover the eternal value of beholding the glorious Christ, who is worthy of all our worship.
Do you feel overwhelmed? Discontented? Weary? These are symptoms of a distracted mind-a mind fixed on passing earthly things. Guided by the rich wisdom of Puritan theologian John Owen, Kris Lundgaard presents a countermeasure: the devoted mind. By seeking those things above, where Christ is, we can have hope in all circumstances, know contentment in any situation, and enjoy deep communion with God that makes life worth living. Deep, meditative, and compelling, The Devoted Mind invites us to draw nearer to Christ as he draws near to us. Its twelve brief but profound chapters each conclude with exercises to guide the mind-work and heart-work you need to grow. Let us devote our minds to contemplating God and find our worship renewed.
How would you like to fight an enemy who, just as you have him on the ropes, always evades the final blow? An enemy who hides just out of reach, lulling you into a false sense of security, until he drops from nowhere onto your back?
That's the advantage of indwelling sin-it lurks in an unsearchable fortress where you can't get to it. But if God has redeemed us from sin-and given us his Holy Spirit to sanctify us and give us strength against sin-why do we go on sinning?
Drawing from two masterful works by English theologian John Owen, Kris Lundgaard takes aim at the enemy within. He shares his discovery of hope and renewed love for Christ, as well as an approach to holiness by faith in him.
