]]> Comment on Religion is Not a Bad Word by Rev. Scott Rooks http://www.richardliantonio.com/blog/2010/02/religion-is-not-a-bad-word/comment-page-1/#comment-18089 Rev. Scott Rooks Sat, 07 Jan 2012 14:34:44 +0000 http://www.richardliantonio.com/blog/?p=1412#comment-18089 Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! At last someone who gets it!!! I have been preaching this for years and it falls on deaf ears and resistant hearts. You have skillfully pointed out the grave mistake of this generation: trying to separate "religion" from their relationship with Christ; in the process we have lost the sense of the sacred. Why is it so hard for people to find balance in their walk with Christ. We swing from the extreme of being religious without a relationship, to wanting a relationship with no religion. Well done!!!

]]> Comment on Opposition to Pre-Written Prayers Comes From the Spirit of the Age (Developing a Consistent Prayer Life Part 2) by Cynthia http://www.richardliantonio.com/blog/2009/07/opposition-to-pre-written-prayers-comes-from-the-spirit-of-the-age/comment-page-1/#comment-17820 Cynthia Mon, 26 Dec 2011 16:59:01 +0000 http://www.richardliantonio.com/blog/?p=406#comment-17820 This especially true because our Lord said to pray continually and that if the unjust judge rewards the one who continually seeks him about something in particular why wouldn't he. So a planned out or written prayer is effective, with right motives and evident faith, of course. On the movie Bruce Almighty, at the end, "God" tells Jim Carrey to pray what he really wanted or what was on his heart and at the time I was moved by it but I have a little more understanding now because the heart is deceitful above all things.

These are not cheap, but they are available (at http://www.anglicanbooks.com/store/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=5). These typically come with plenty of ribbons already installed, but you ably have shown how to install more if need be. Then you have the Bible readings right there. Also, I prefer the KJV psalter to the BCP one, so this makes it handy. Thanks for your excellent web resource! The very simplest thing is to buy a 1928 BCP/KJV Bible combination.
