While the lyrics are not the same, they do include the whole prayer in their Album notes. It's a really beautiful song by a good Celtic Christian group.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04923759769913226698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-1126832982270938482005-09-15T20:09:00.000-05:002005-09-15T20:09:00.000-05:00Mark, you might want to start with "Discovering Sa...Mark, you might want to start with "Discovering Saint Patrick" by Thomas O'Loughlin, a lecturer at University of Wales-Lampeter. UW-L, by the way, has a great distance Masters program in Celtic Christianity; the only one in the world. It is also inexpensive, even with the falling dollar.<BR/><BR/>Other books you might enjoy are "The Life of Saint Patrick and his place in history" by John B. Bury and "Confession of Saint Patrick" by John Skinner, the latter is a translation of all Patrick's writings. "Saint Patrick's World: The Christian Culture of Ireland's Apostolic Age" by Liam De Paor is required reading for anyone who wishes to know how to reach a non-Christian, post-Christian, postmodern world, as is "Celtic Evangelism" by George Hunter III. <BR/><BR/>All of these are available at Amazon.PatrickMeadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741720069221746106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-1126829957841242862005-09-15T19:19:00.000-05:002005-09-15T19:19:00.000-05:00Okay--you've convicted me to take sin more serious...Okay--you've convicted me to take sin more seriously!<BR/><BR/>JBjettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04351615360394477260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-1126731944838283952005-09-14T16:05:00.000-05:002005-09-14T16:05:00.000-05:00This prayer is very convicting as it reminds us th...This prayer is very convicting as it reminds us that we should be removing all sin from our lives, not just the big ones. I have struggled with this regarding entertainment. I think sometimes I should just throw the TV out the window (checking to make sure the elderly lady downstairs is not on her porch first).Chalmershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06355578099725547881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-1126727942408032972005-09-14T14:59:00.000-05:002005-09-14T14:59:00.000-05:00Great Blog... we take sin way to lightly.

When we take seriously the Biblical illustrations of our relationship with God and Christ it gives us such perspective. YOu writings and preaching ( I listened to your Richland Hills church mens retreat) are a blessing.

I'm sure she acknowledged it somewhere in the book, but I remained ignorant for not reading wherever it was. <BR/>I think that is what Torah is supposed to do in us, help us to see how despicable sin is and to hate it as G-d hates it. Then we will find obeying our Redeemer a delight as He is the One who gives us victory over sin.<BR/>Shalom,<BR/>SerenaSerenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442374238506159477noreply@blogger.com
