Augustine on Christmas
He, through whom time was made, was made in time;
and He, older by eternity that the world itself, was younger in age than many of His servants in the world;
He, who made man, was made man;
He was given existence by a mother whom He brought into existence;
He was carried in hands which He formed;
He nursed at breasts which He filled;
He cried like a babe in the manger in speechless infancy -- this Word without which human eloquence is speechless!
Sermon on Christmas, by Augustine of Hippo.
Again, not-puritan, but a great encouragement.

The Lion
"Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight,
At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more,
When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death,
And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again."
I know - not a puritan quote, but I just finished The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis.
Michael Lawrence from Capitol Hill Baptist Church is doing a sermon series on this - the first one is titled The True Lion. Download it here. He is also doing 2 more in the coming weeks: The Witch's End and This World's Wordrobe.
