Fed And Nourished By The Word (Erpingham Gate)
by Norman J Goreham (1931-2021)
This hymn, with music by Madeline Maguire, is suitable for the end of worship, when the Gospel has been read and the people are sustained by bread and wine. The Saviour's face has been revealed and they are free to go in peace and serve.

Psalm 88 (and 77) - Depression ?
by Colin Smith
These reflections/commentaries have been used as a short (1272 words)talk This in spite of the fact that both psalms are different to many others and one of them (Psalm 88) doesn't appear in the lectionary. They are the personal prayers of one person, and unusually don't addres

Mark The Peoples' Bible Commentary - Clean Hands and a Pure Heart
by BRF - Dick France
Clean Hands and a Pure Heart We now return to the issue which sparked off this sharp dialogue, that of purity. Jesus declares his position by means of a ‘parable’ (which means here an epigram or a puzzling saying needing interpretation— see our study of chapter 4), which, followi

Psalm 37. 4, 7, 32 The promise of God to give us our heart’s desires is conditional. When our heart is in tune with God’s heart and hence our will with his will then, as Jesus said, ‘Ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you’ (John 15.7 nrsv). The secret is to stay c

A Different Kind of Kingdom Americans often tell me this. ‘We used to have kings,’ they say, ‘but we gave them up. You British understand these things; we don’t.’ This is a misunderstanding. The constitutional monarchy we have today in the United Kingdom is quite different from a

Psalms for Everyone Part 2 - How to Persuade Your Heart
by SPCK - John Goldingay
How to Persuade Your Heart Psalm 103 Some years ago I went through one of those periods when God didn’t seem to be real. I don’t mean I was going through some intellectual questioning, though I have done that at other times, but rather that I didn’t feel that God was there. I wou

With My WholeHeart - Psalm 95: 1, 8, 10
by SPCK - James Jones
Psalm 95. 1, 8, 10 This psalm begins with a fanfare and ends in the plagal cadence of a sung ‘amen’. There could hardly be a greater contrast between beginning and end. At the start the heart is rejoicing; by the finish the heart is indicted for its erring and straying like a stu

With My WholeHeart - Postscript to the Psalms
by SPCK - James Jones
Postscript to the Psalms Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. This verse (Psalm 51.6 kjv) does not come with the word ‘heart’ in the psalm version of the Book of Common Prayer but for me it has been at the cent

With My WholeHeart - Psalm 54:6
by SPCK - James Jones
Psalm 54:6 In the world of the psalms the worship of God involved the offering of gifts. These were signs of the worshippers’ dedication to God. There were rules about the quality and purity of the offerings and the sacrifices. As we draw near to God in our searching after him we

The Letters 19 APRIL 1930 This conscious, incessant submission to God has proven extremely difficult, and I have surrendered for the past few days. And today and yesterday I saw evidences of the result. In an effort to be witty, I have said biting things which have hurt the feeli

With My WholeHeart - Psalm 51:10, 17
by SPCK - James Jones
Psalm 51:10, 17 Repetition is a feature of the life of prayer as we can see in the psalms. Yet again the plea for forgiveness comes with ‘Make me a clean heart’. There is a particular religious psyche that is obsessed with sin. There’s also a psychological condition where the pat
