In discussion with the Moderators, we have created the Meditating on the Preached Word forum.

In lieu of the abundance of frivolous posts we sometimes receive on the Lord's Day, I hope this forum will serve as an opportunity for members to spend time in contemplation and reflection on what they heard from the pulpit that day.

Obviously the forum is open throughout the week as well for continued reflection and application of what you heard preached from the Word of God for the conversion of your souls and the renewing of your minds.

Is it to link sermons, or to discuss them primarily?

"Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart, And all is darkened in the vale of tears, Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart, Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears. Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay From His own fullness all He takes away."

"Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray—
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee."

This will be great!

Meditating in the sense of thinking deeply, feasting on the Bread of Life. Nothing "Eastern" about it.

A most excellent idea, Rich. I believe it will be most beneficial and edifying for all.

Thank you, sir!

1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditateday and night.

47And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.

48My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes
78Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
99I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation

Well I will admit I was wrong then, but the only meditation that goes on in the danish peoples church is the eastern form which they have adopted to help the entire body (or so they say) they are doing yoga as well some places now, not in the sunday service but other week days, to make the church more "relevant", so they say

So I am sorry that I am a bit pessimistic, but it is NOT being used in a good way over here.
I guess I am just used to answereing a fool acording to his folly.
I am used to see so many different perversions, that I forget that it has value in it to, so

I am sorry

Great!!

Ian,

I'm not certain about your confusion:
In other words, share what you heard from the pulpit and contemplate what you heard. If you want to share the sermon audio you are welcome to do so but this is not a place simply to post audio from sermons.

That was were my confusion lay. I wasn't sure whether posting the audio was allowed. Thanks for clearing that up!
