Philip Veitch Thu, 10 Sep 2009 21:17:23 +0000 http://www.meetthepuritans.com/?p=405#comment-69 Thanks for the post. Have given it more thought since the original post, so thankful for it, although I still disagree with it. Indeed, the BCP supports me when I'm lazy, as today when I "read" rather than "prayed my prayers." There are good, better, weak, and weaker days. But that obtains for Bible reading as well. Thankful for Owen's insistence upon stirring up the gift of prayer. But it's rather hard to raise much noise about it when the Book teems with Scripture. BTW, the Book needs revision at points.

Philip Veitch Wed, 09 Sep 2009 04:48:03 +0000 http://www.meetthepuritans.com/?p=405#comment-57 A wonderful retort by Owen on one aspect of the thorny issue (for some). Yet, for this scribe, it is an insufficient argument to toss an entire Book. Many a godly Anglican has prayed passionately, thoughtfully, and biblically with its abundance of Scripture. And many pray without their prayer book during the day and evening, often with phrases informing their spontaneous prayer. Owen's argument doesn't fully sell.
