Robert E. Webber
Quote of the Week

What if the principle of the early church was translated to form our day into a conscious Christian rhythm of daily devotion? By remembering the work of Christ on the cross at 9 am [he was nailed], noon [darkness], and 3 pm [he died], we would experience each day in the rhythm of the most central event of human history. Add to those hours the remembrance of creation on rising and an anticipation of the new heavens and the new earth at the coming again upon retiring and the rhythm of the day will express the contours of all history.
