Fear Not The Toilsome Path

by i.burgess on November 24, 2011

Come hither, all ye that have strayed and lost your way, whatever your error and sin may have been, whether it be one which in human eyes is more more pardonable and yet perhaps more dreadful, or one more dreadful in human eyes and yet perhaps more pardonable, one which was revealed here on earth, [...]

Come Hither! Kierkegaard’s Gospel #1

by i.burgess on September 30, 2011

Come hither to me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, I will give you rest. Over the next few days I’m going to be exploring Søren Kierkegaard’s exposition of the above verse as he writes in the opening chapter of his book Training in Christianity. While perhaps I wouldn’t read scripture in the [...]

On Being a Terrible Evangelist

by i.burgess on April 29, 2011

Jesus Christ rose from the dead, defeating death and having been crowned firstborn over all creation he met his disciples. Back where it all began, Jesus meets his friends again to give them a new mission. The first time around, Jesus was the missionary in the world. After the resurrection, the Spirit falls on his followers [...]

Blessed are the Merciful

by i.burgess on January 21, 2011

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Does this contradict the previous point, for what is mercy if not the mitigation of the expectation of righteousness? When I have heard teaching on God’s mercy, I have been told that is it the relenting of God from his own righteous indignation. In other words, [...]

The Poor in Spirit

by i.burgess on January 14, 2011

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:3) “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound! That saved a wretch like me” Contrary to popular opinion, the agony of the soul is not a concept invented by Evangelicals to guilt people into converting to Christianity. One’s awareness of wrongdoing, or [...]

He taught them, saying…

by i.burgess on January 13, 2011

On the 30th of January I am preaching on Matthew 5:1-12. Otherwise known as the ‘beatitudes’, these constitute to some of the most stirring, most memorable words of Jesus’ teaching. In Matthew’s Gospel, these statements are the prologue to Jesus’ whole teaching. These statements make sense of the rest of his life and ministry, and show the [...]

Eucharistic Hymn

by i.burgess on December 11, 2010

This day receive me Son of God Communing at your mystic feast, For I will not betray You Mystery to your foes; Will never give a kiss Like that which Judas gave, But like the thief I shall confess to you: In your royal kingdom, Lord, Be mindful then of me. Liturgy of St John [...]

Learning how to die #4

by i.burgess on April 30, 2010

Realising that I am wholly inadequate in obeying God is a very important step to being reconciled to him. I think it is wonderful grace that his arms are open for those who would seek him, however incompetent we may prove ourselves to be. The fact that I find it terribly difficult to love others, and so fulfil [...]

Learning how to Die #2

by i.burgess on April 24, 2010

Learning how to die is rapidly becoming lessons in love. See, the Law of God can be summarised with 2 main ideas: Love God Love others And the New Testament idea is that the law brings death (2 Corinthians 3:7-8). I perceive this death to be necessary, as there can surly only be new life once the [...]

After Easter

by i.burgess on April 5, 2010

Crying Eggs Tears and treats Sorrow and sweets What a messed up story, This spring festival This remembracne of battle fought And  victory won This Hallmark Holiday, marketing campaign and sales booster Lord, Lord, Awaken our hearts and ignite our spirits That we would put to death all these worthless things, And see your everlasting glory Displayed [...]
