Jewish Prayer Services. Tefillot, Siddur, Shemoneh Esrei. The word "Jew" comes from Judah, a name that means "praised" which is derived from the shoresh yadah, meaning (in the Hiphil) to give thanks, to laud, to praise.

The Priest and Clerks meeting the corpse at the entrance of the Church-yard, and going before it, either into the Church, or towards the grave, shall say, or sing: I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.

DivorceCare this morning was all about how we can regain our “purity” and set boundaries with our prospective mates to please God. The video actually said something along the lines of “God thinks wild and fulfilling sex is awesome… when it is inside the marriage covenant.” Yes, I understand. And I also understand the idea that having sex with someone who doesn’t respect your boundaries about sex or who treats you like an object is not going to help your self-esteem and foreshadows their inability to respect you on other issues. That’s the point, I believe. Date and marry Christian men who will respect your boundaries. Don’t act like a ho to validate yourself. Must have missed that part in Sunday school.
But I promise that I did not laugh when they said, “Oh, and masturbation is just not acceptable in the eyes of God. Pray for Him to fulfill your desires in other ways.” Okay… I might have snorted a bit. I did, however, fall out of my chair when the priest on the video discussed pornography and its special place in the Devil’s toolkit. Hey, I was raised by a pair of free-spirited hippie Christians. They are all about God’s Word… but in terms of bodies and sex and all that stuff, freedom and happiness (preferably, but not necessarily, with a husband) were their words. Thank God.
You should have heard the woman who had been married 30 years. She practically sputtered and said, “But what if you wait until marriage and then he is bad?!? I just cannot go through that again!” ROFL.


|Carl Bloch's, Christ Healing the Suffering at Bethesda, at BYU's Musuem of Art (MOA)|
In Renaissance Europe, aristocrats were overjoyed at the prospect of visually demonstrating their power and influence through status portraiture. The Catholic Church similarly covered the walls of their cathedrals with images that taught non-literate individuals the insignificance of their existence through the size and grandeur of cathedrals, and instructive works on their walls and windows showing biblical depictions. They were figures of whom few could aspire to become. A few exercised power over the rest. Carl Bloch’s easel stood much later, and the difference in eras was the fundamental difference in approach to the common subject of the individual. In this paper I will critically analyze Carl Bloch’s work, Christ Healing the sick at Bethesda, and will argue its contextual importance in the era in which it was created, stating that the humble and afflicted person could become significant with the romanticist focus on the individual.
Carl Bloch entered the stage with the romantic act climaxing. High art had moved from being only Catholic and aristocratic patronage to increasing middle class involvement. The Baroque and Rococo eras had entertained the wiles of the elite, but themes turned to the mystique of the individual. John Constable “shared the deep and warm love of nature expressed by Wordsworth1,” while Thomas Eakins painted ordinary people in a real, photographic fashion doing things like swimming in a waterhole with friends. The sense of romanticism was heavy as objects in a composition demonstrated leisure, appreciation, and yearning. At times those subjects turned dark, as artists explored the romantic dark-side.
Bloch was a strange contribution to European high art at the time. He was heralded for his brilliant technique, becoming a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. From there he served positions as a professor and council member at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, a member of Gallery Commissions, and vice director at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. With such success and acclaim Bloch managed to produce pieces of sincere religious worship, a contrast from the increasingly secular focus. His religious works echo the complexity and semiotic usage of High Renaissance artists like da Vinci and contain the low key lighting and technique of Rembrandt.
In Bloch’s work, Christ Healing the Sick at Bethesda (1883), one cannot help but be enveloped by the enormity of the work (Fig. 1). By such proportions the viewer must stand far back to not be caught up in the scene. Alphabets that read left to right will tend to read artwork in the same manner. The eye is immediately taken by Christ’s brilliant robe on the left hand side. His robe is strikingly distinct from the general color tones throughout the rest of the composition. His beard and long strands make his appearance relative to the mortal individuals in his proximity, but his face “shine[s] as the sun, and his raiment [is] white as light2.”
The men behind Christ look on as he pulls a cloth unveiling the frail, elderly man who undoubtedly lived a suffered life. Christ gestures authoritatively for him to arise, that the man’s faith had made him whole. The men behind Christ stand in shadows. Much is implied about their character in the adornment of red attire. They observe Christ performing miracles on the Sabbath, and lean back to criticize, devalue, and discredit.
To the veiled man’s right, another afflicted man coasts up against a pillar. The architecture shown is of Italian influence, as Bloch had spent time in the land. His eyes read of social forsakenness and affliction. Perhaps his red cap denotes a different gravity from the men behind Christ. Separate from the slanderous disbelievers, this man has perhaps been grinded on their heels’, and through neglect has suffered the refiner’s fire. His robes resemble Christ’s more than the disbelievers.
Not all the poor and afflicted individuals look on to Christ in humility though. The figures to the right stand at a distance, their eyes diverted elsewhere. A man’s back is turned from Christ. Perhaps in despair he refused to humble his heart. The men behind Christ are engaged in the establishment of their own grandiosity, but that’s not to say that the downtrodden men on the right don’t have similar self-inflation. They worry, they complain, and they scheme, but in their midst the little child teaches the viewer that it is her that we must emulate. She gazes on to Christ with a look of admiration.
My personal response to this piece was powerful because of the stance I interpreted about the nature of man, that of being capable of horrendous atrocities towards one another, but equally endowed with ability towards greatness. The tones do nothing to circumnavigate the viewer from life’s cruel tendencies. It does nothing to hide darkness, or simplify complicated dynamics. Christ’s back is turned to the predators, and his attention is given to those humble enough to receive him. To me this painting tells of a need to displace desires and personal interests to things that will enhance life’s vision.
Christ Healing the sick at Bethesda is an important piece because it combines the sophistication of High Renaissance art, but approaches the individual in a romanticist fashion. Afflicted peasants and the downtrodden mass hold little prominence in European history, but Carl Bloch, the son of a merchant of Copenhagen, Denmark, did much to define their divine value. In this piece he perhaps suggests that it is in a state of gravity that men find reason to look to God, and develop their God-given potentials. His is a message of hope to all, especially those termed lesser in the world.

Gilt Bronze Gothic Revival Religious Clock
A gilt bronze Gothic revival 19thC French clock depicting a kneeling noble lady laying a crown of flowers in front of a shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes. The case is entirely of gilded bronze with the exception of the small patinated figure of the Virgin. The original movement and dial with Roman numerals, is a twin barrel, with a silk-string suspension system. It rings a bell on the hours and halfs. French circa 1860.
Our Lady of Lourdes is a Roman Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary venerated in honor of the Marian apparitions that reportedly occurred in 1858 in the vicinity of Lourdes in France. The first of these is the apparition of 11 February 1858, when 14-year old Bernadette Soubirous told her mother that a “lady” spoke to her in the cave of Massabielle, (a mile from the town), while she was gathering firewood with her sister and a friend.
In 18 January 1862, Pope Pius IX authorized Bishop Bertrand-Sévère Laurence to permit the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Lourdes. On 3 July 1876, the same Pontiff officially granted a Canonical Coronation to the image that used to be in the courtyard of what is now part of the Rosary Basilica. The image of Our Lady of Lourdes has been widely copied and reproduced in shrines and homes and as in this case a clock.


I remember spending Sundays in church with my family, a Southern family tradition in the United States. While the preacher was delivering his sermons, I was always drawing but listening. Inspired by the messages from the Bible, architecture and colorful stained glass windows of the church, it became a place where I started my creative journey and unlocked my future.
In this current body of work, I re-examine my standing with religion and other influences that have imprinted on me, which have shaped my life. Asking questions and trying to understand myself, my path and my place in the world.
The paintings are based on Christian religious stories and key characters in the Bible. I would then cross-reference and compare them with similar Greek mythologies. While hearing the stories in my head, I relate them to my reality, transforming them into a collage of religion and its correlations to mythology, life, imagination, and childhood nostalgia onto a subject matter that I called MYTHOLOGYANITYISM. While doing this, I created my own world and language through the style of painting and authentic symbolic symbols to talk about any subject.
The topics are based on my relationships with life, death, relatable self-reflection, internal struggle, parenting, family, temptation, race, politics, social status, greed, time, questioning of one’s fate, guilt, the act of painting, and good vs evil.
These suggestive paintings came to me intuitively, unveiling problems, solutions, self-reflection and growth to the relationships in my life. Therefore, becoming my therapy. I discovered that a vast majority of our lives are occupied by the universal connections with different types of subjects, all within the influence of Christianity. Like the stories in the Bible, these paintings can be read with many interpretations, and through those universal values, allow everyone to connect to the subject matter despite their beliefs.
The Bible is a great tool for visionary stories. Some are believable, and others are not. Deluding myself to believe in magical things, I still want Santa Claus to be real. The reoccurring cardinal, gator and snake are pivotal symbols in my reality and art, chaining me to my religion.
Painting is my medium to conceive this series because of its ability to be physically real. It is something I can see, smell, touch, and I know it will withstand the test of time. Just like Saint Thomas, who needed to feel the flesh and ribs of Jesus Christ to believe, a painting reflects the tangible truth, which seems to be all the more vital in today’s misleading information-filled world.
My faith has taught me, “Yes, this is all true but also probably never happened.”

“The Wisdom of God’
I Corinthians 1:23-24: … but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Charles T. Fritsch: [Today’s text from Proverbs] is the highest conception of wisdom found in the canonical books [of Scripture]. Wisdom therefore should be obeyed not only because of the advantages she brings, but also because of her essential nature and the high place she holds in the universe.
Many of you may recall the movie The Sound of Music. Early in the movie there is a song sung by a group of nuns about a young novice named Maria who just couldn’t seem to get the hang of life in the convent. The title of that song is “What’ll We Do with a Problem Like Maria?”
I could easily have titled today’s sermon “What’ll We Do with a Problem Like Sophia?” Sophia, of course, being the Greek word for Wisdom. First of all, this Wisdom is feminine. Commentators refer to her as Dame Wisdom or Lady Wisdom. According to one interpretation of the text the Wisdom in today’s text can be considered to be a personification of God. Thus Sophia becomes a name for God. In other words, God can be referred to as a she as well as a he. That tends to drive some Christians up the wall. “The next thing you know, they may be thinking, “somebody’s going to tell us that we must pray to God the Mother.”
Before any of you start squirming in your seats or begin questioning the orthodoxy of your pastor’s theology, let’s back up a little. In the Revised and New Revised Standard Versions verse 22 of today’s text is translated, “The Lord created me at the beginning of his work.” If Wisdom is a creation of God, then Wisdom cannot be considered a person of God. Wisdom may predate the creation of the universe, but she is still creature not Creator.
The King James and Today’s International Versions translate verse 22 more like this; “The Lord created me as the beginning of his work.” In other words, God’s first creation was wisdom. But that still makes Lady Wisdom creature rather than Creator.
But one commentator, a Southern Baptist no less, interprets the text as giving Wisdom a personality. This personified Wisdom, according to Dr. L. D. Johnson, was present at and an agent of creation. She is a female expression of God’s self-disclosure. That makes her Creator.
Dr. Johnson goes on to equate Wisdom with the pre-existent Logos, the pre-existent Word of God who became flesh and dwelt among us in the person of Jesus Christ. He backs this up this interpretation by referring to the text from First Corinthians that I read just prior to the sermon. In that text Jesus Christ is referred to as the wisdom of God. Jesus Christ, the living Word of God, became the incarnate expression of God’s Wisdom. Thus according to Dr. Johnson and others Wisdom equals Word, incorporating her into the Trinity.
That may be stretching Dr. Johnson’s interpretation farther than he intended. But he does interpret the Wisdom of today’s text as a hazy glimpse of what would eventually become the New Testament doctrine of the pre-existent Christ, a predecessor of both the Logos and Holy Spirit, an early theological step in the direction of the doctrine of the Trinity.
Most commentators, however, focus on a more depersonalized Wisdom that is an attribute, possession, or creation of God – creature not Creator. This in no way, however, makes wisdom something to be taken lightly. Lady Wisdom, Miss Sophia if you prefer, was at creation, working alongside God as God put it all together. Some of the ancient texts say “little child” rather than “master worker,” thus the emphasis is on Wisdom’s presence at but not participation in creation.
Needless to say God’s Wisdom has been around for a long, long time. She may not have been around as long as God, but she definitely pre-dates the heavens and the earth. She may not be part of the Godhead, a person of the Trinity, but she’s been hanging around with them since way before we were created. Verse 30 refers to her as God’s own delight. As such she is a force to be reckoned with. Hers is a voice to be listened to. Hers is guidance that we ignore at our own peril. To paraphrase an old television commercial for a certain butter substitute, “It’s not smart to fool with Lady Wisdom.”
Why should we even want to? As verse 31 puts it Lady Wisdom has been rejoicing in God’s created world from day one. She is depicted as delighting in the human race. We are a delight to her. She derives pleasure from our presence. To her we are extremely pleasing. Wisdom is our friend. She likes, no, she loves, us a lot. Her wish for us is grace and goodness. She wants us to be the whole, healthy persons that God created us to be. She desires for us nothing less than God’s shalom – the peace that passes all understanding.
Not only does Wisdom wish us shalom; she also leads us in the ways of shalom. Earlier in chapter eight she is described in terms of justice and righteousness. By way of Wisdom we can live the just and righteous lives that lead to peace; we can be part of relationships that lead to the health, wholeness, and goodness that God desires for all of creation. If we listen to this Wisdom of God and follow her guidance, we will avoid the self-destructive pitfalls that damage our lives, disrupt the lives of others, and corrupt the goodness of creation.
So it is good to pay attention to Wisdom. By way of her insight kings are enabled to reign and rulers empowered to rule. The fruit of Wisdom is more valuable to us than the finest silver and gold, for silver and gold cannot buy the peace that Wisdom brings. Nor can they in themselves bring about God’s justice and righteousness in the world.
In other parts of Proverbs and other places in Scripture, some practical advice concerning Wisdom is laid out for us. Proverbs is full of Wisdom’s insights into life and living. Proverbs is full of Wisdom’s insights into staying in right relationships with God and our fellow human beings. That’s why Proverbs is among those books of the Bible that we call Wisdom Literature.
Biblical scholars and theologians will probably never arrive at a full
agreement on the answer to the question of Wisdom being a person of God or an
attribute of God. There never will be an
answer to the question, “What’ll we do
with a problem like Sophia?” that satisfies everybody. Questions concerning Wisdom’s relationship to
the Godhead will persist until that day when such questions are rendered
irrelevant by the dawning if the realized
The answers to such questions, like those we want to ask the Apostle Paul about why he wrote what he did about women in First Corinthians, await us in heaven. But by the time we get there we really won’t care what those answers are. Meanwhile, whatever our interpretation, we must take Wisdom seriously. After all, she’s been around a whole lot longer than we have, and from the very beginning she has been God’s daily delight. She rejoices in his inhabited world. She delights in the human race. Do we really need to know more than that? Amen.


In Ukraine, the Orthodox Christmas is celebrated on January 7th.
When Communism fell, there was a new freedom of religion. The Orthodox Church was no longer the only church allowed by the government. Other Christian groups wanted to celebrate Christmas on December 25th. The new government decided to allow the people to celebrate both. Not only did they celebrate both, but the day after Christmas was always a holiday. So the Christmas Season consisted of: December 25 and 26, December 31 and January 1, 7, and 8. It was most interesting for me to experience this the first year that I was here. If you were a churchgoer, that was a lot of services with a lot of sermons. This season is the first season that will have Christmas only on January 7.
The Evangelical Baptist Church took full advantage of January 8. It may be the first time there was a live presentation of the Christmas story. They created different scenes in the park next to their church. After the 10 AM service was complete, the player all took their places, ready to tell their stories. It was a very cold afternoon, but it didn’t stop the enthusiastic choir or actors. Small groups would go from scene to scene to hear the story. It was a great event. It will be repeated, and will be recreated in different places in Illichevsk.
The people who grew up under persecution still have a high value of what religious freedom means. Unfortunately, this passion has not been experienced by the younger generation. They respond with enthusiasm of the event, but haven’t experienced the true value of what it means to be free to express your beliefs in public. I continue to try to learn of the secrets of life during communism.

Worship Customs at Our Savior Lutheran Church
Reverence and Quiet before the service. Please don’t consider Our Savior Church members unfriendly because of their lack of conversation before services. The time prior to services has always been set aside to prepare to hear God’s Word and receive the blessed Sacrament of the Altar. Our members are encouraged to arrive early and to spend time preparing for the Divine Service by marking their hymnal, reading the lessons, and praying. Immediately after the service ends (right after the closing hymn or Benediction) is the time to joyfully converse with one another.
The Sign of the Cross. Many members follow Martin Luther’s recommendation to make the sign of the cross as the name of the Holy Trinity is spoken, as a Benediction is given, when receiving the body and blood of Christ, and at other times. The cross is signed to remember— Jesus died to forgive me.
Standing for Doxological Stanzas in Hymns. We follow the practice of standing when singing a hymn stanza – almost always the last verse of a hymn – that gives praise to the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These are called “doxological stanzas.” The cue to stand will be an interlude before the verse by the organist. Doxological stanzas are always followed by a sung “Amen.”


Jussi Björling Statue Sings O Holy Night
Central Borlänge was swarming with people, a rarity in itself, in the afternoon of Advent Sunday. It was the premiere Christmas window display, but towards half past three many gathered at Jussi Björling Square to witness for the first time Jussi Björling as street singer. The statue was discretely coloured in red through spotlight illumination. Rikard Rudolfsson, Chairman of the cultural committee, and Patric Hammar, head of culture and leisure in Borlänge, greeted the crowd to attend the re-inauguration of the square, after extensive renovation work.
Photo: Lasse Eriksson
Swedish Television was there, the local radio and newspapers were represented, and at 3.45 p.m. sharp Jussi himself spoke and announced that in view of that it was Advent Sunday he was going to sing “O Holy Night”. The sound streamed out from a twelve-foot-high pillar, placed just behind the statue and it was clean and well-balanced; no disco sound which one often hears in outdoor situations, but a level corresponding to what it would have sounded like if Jussi had been there in person. When Willy Gordon’s statue was inaugurated in 1990 and Rolf Björling sang, I was standing on practically the same spot as now, and the volume of that sound was comparable to what was heard now. Everything was tastefully done and the audience listened devoutly with undivided attention. When Jussi had finished the lighting was toned down and there was a tactful round of applause. During the rest of Advent Sunday he sang every hour until 7 p.m. and all through December he will sing every day at 12 o’clock noon and 7 p.m. Henceforth there will be singing on chosen occasions, next in turn on 2 February, the date Jussi celebrated his birthday.

Dr. Joseph F. Tuttle
Born on March 12, 1818 in Bloomfield, New Jersey, Joseph Farrand Tuttle was the son of a Presbyterian minister. His father’s influence had a great impact on Tuttle's life. He was educated at Marietta College in 1837 and then attended Lane Theological Seminary to become a Presbyterian minister. His first job was not in education, but in the ministry at the Second Presbyterian Church in Delaware, Ohio. Sixteen years later, in 1861, Joseph Tuttle became the third president of Wabash College. This was a post that he held until his resignation following the 1891-1892 school year. During his tenure at Wabash, the college experienced enormous financial growth and unprecedented additions to the buildings on campus.
Tuttle was very involved in the community of Crawfordsville in many ways during his time in the city. When he took the job at Wabash College, he also became the pastor at the Center Presbyterian Church. He also took an interest in the public schools of Crawfordsville. In 1897 he was asked to speak at the dedication of the Old Willson School located at the corner of Wallace and Wabash Avenues.
After resigning from Wabash College, Tuttle stayed in Crawfordsville with his wife, Mrs. Susan C. Tuttle, until his death on June 8, 1901. Crawfordsville Community Schools honored Tuttle shortly after his death by naming the new grade school after him. Even after the original building was torn down, Tuttle's name remained.
General Lew Wallace was quoted as saying the following at the funeral of Tuttle, “He was a man among men, whom it was a pleasure and a benediction to have known.”

Sharing the below prayer requests from VOM. Please join me in prayer.
weekly prayer updates
"Prayer is the pulse of life; by it the doctor can tell what is the condition of the heart. The sin of prayerlessness is a proof for the ordinary Christian or minister that the life of God in the soul is in deadly sickness and weakness." - Andrew Murray
"praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints" - Ephesians 6:18
VOM-USA Prayer Update for July 5, 2013 On Wed. Jul 03 2013 at 01:51 PM Moderator wrote: Laos--Elderly Couple Evicted from Home Source: VOM Sources
Two Christian converts have been evicted from their home for seeking prayers for physical healing, a VOM worker reports. On Jan. 10, 2013, Mr. Sakien and his wife, Dong, went to a church in Intee village, Attapeu province, looking for physical healing. Their son and daughter-in-law had told them that they had experienced healing from prayer. Shortly after seeking healing at the church, the couple embraced the Christian faith. Then, on Jan. 23, the village chief issued an eviction order and stated that the couple would be denied residency in the village because of their conversion to Christianity. Sakien and Dong were told to "find a different place where Christians can live." Sakien is very ill, and the couple is currently taking shelter in an unfinished church building in Intee village.[/quote]
Honduras--Widespread Violence Affects Pastors Sources: Fuerza Latina Cristiana, VOM Sources
1 Corinthians 15:53-55
Eight pastors have been murdered in Honduras in 2013 alone. In the most recent attack, on Wednesday, June 19, Pastor Eduardo Mejia was stabbed to death. Pastor Mejia led a church called "God Is Love." The other seven pastors killed over the first half of this year have all died from gunshot wounds. An estimated 600,000 illegal weapons circulate in Honduras, and most are owned by criminals. Honduras has the highest murder rate in the world, at about 85 per every 100,000 people, according to data released by human rights organizations. None of the cases involving the murdered pastors has been solved.[/quote]
Syria--Christians Hopeful amid Civil War Source: VOM Sources
Christians in Syria remain hopeful despite increasingly difficult circumstances, a VOM contact reports. Syrians still face continual threats from snipers and mortars; from June 8 to June 10, dozens of mortars fell around the building where our VOM contact lives. He said many people are begging, searching in the rubbish and looking for a place to stay and that the value of the Syrian pound continues to drop. But he said Christians still have hope. Our contact's church still holds Bible studies, youth meetings, prayer meetings, medical clinics and church services on Sunday. The church, which VOM helps to support, also distributes packages of food, such as rice, pasta and lentils, as well as hygiene products, such as toothpaste and soap. Please pray that the church will be a house of prayer and a center for peace amid the chaos and that many more Syrians will come to Christ. Also pray for stability in the region.[/quote]
Pray for the recipients of 2 million tracts and 20,000 Bibles that will be purchased and distributed in Cuba.


Ever since my wife and I found out we were expecting our first child, we have taken our preparation for parenting very seriously. There is something about having a child on the way, that will force you to take a serious look at your living habits, spiritual life, health, finances, etc. For the first few months, Shelby and I bought every parenting book we have ever wanted to read. I recruited 2 other soon to be fathers and we began to read through Doug Wilson’s “Father Hunger”. Shelby and I listened to sermons on parenting, watched videos on parenting, discussed education, family worship time, discipline, and even college. Since her and I are both “type A” personalities, this led to a slew of action plans, and our unborn child’s life being planned out for the first few years, before we even know what sex the baby was.
The point of this post, however, is not to downgrade the importance of these discussions. In fact, the Lord was gracious enough to show us more of our sinfulness and his holiness during this time than he ever had before in our marriage. Shelby and I have grown closer in our relationship, not just as husband and wife, but friends. Furthermore, there were many great decisions made for our family that had been needed for some time. We are thankful for the Lord showing himself faithful, in how he grew us as a couple and individuals over the past 4 months, but no lesson has been greater than the subject of this post.
I believe it was Robert Murray M’Cheyne, the Scottish preacher from the 1800’s, who said of his ministry, “The greatest need of my people is my personal holiness.” This was a quote I have heard often, even one that I have thrown out, tweeted, or brought up in a conversation in order to get a “hmmm” or a “that’s good”. But that is, for the most part, where it has stopped. I could not agree more with M’Cheyne. One of the highest callings (aside from our call to know God), is our call to personal holiness (c. 1 Peter 1:15-16).
We do not talk about this reality much or take it as serious as scripture does, and shame on us for not. I spend a lot of time focusing on my teaching and ministry now or the ministry God has for me in the future. I pour over book after book on church, training and teaching strategy. My presupposition when approaching scripture is seeking out transforming principles for the saints, rather than my heart. Holiness is something to be taken seriously, but before it is to be taken seriously in the pulpit, it has to be taken seriously at home. This has been the greatest lesson over the last 4 months. If there was ever a time to get serious about our relationships with the Lord, and our pursuit of holiness it was now. The Lord has seen fit, to knit together a son or daughter, a mind, a heart, a soul and intrust it to our care. This is not something to be taken lightly. I know plenty of people, myself included, that have had to work through false images or attributes of God because of an earthly father who did not understand who God was himself.
One night over dinner, in the midst of conversation, Shelby and I realized that the Lord had been working on both of our hearts. He had placed on our heart, a desire to set aside everything, and press deeply into who God is. So we decided to put down the parenting books for the time being, and pick up our Bibles. To spend less time deciding what the best family devotional would be and press into the one whom those devotionals will be about. We decided that for the next 5 months, until our little one arrives, to spend time getting to know the God who calls us to holiness. After all, if the starting point for our holiness, is not the most holy thing in existence, we are doing it wrong.
Does this mean that we are not preparing? Not at all. We still talk often about how to train up our child in the way they should go, or how we can best be a reflection of God’s grace to our children. We just allow those conversations to flow out of who God is, what he has done, what he is doing, and what he is going to do.
The practical side looks like this:
- Scripture and Prayer: This is how God chooses to communicate with his people. We would be foolish to neglect this as the foundation. David, in Psalm 119, says scripture is as sweet as honey. We are going to spend the next 5 months developing a sweet tooth that will Lord willingly be passed down to our children.
- Stirring up. At the top of this blog you will see a line “Finding those things which stir my affections for Christ & filling my life with them. Finding that which robs my affections for Christ & leaving them at any cost.” Shelby and I are taking this more seriously than ever before.
- Books. By God’s providence, there were already a number of books on our reading list this year that had to do with the attributes of God, knowing him, pursuing holiness, etc. We have moved those books to the top of the list. Here are a few:
- Knowing God, Packer (this will be a book I will read and re-read several times this year)
- Gospel Deeps, Wilson
- Knowledge of the Holy, Tozer
- Christ Formed in You, Hedges
- Set Apart, Bridges
- Holiness of God, Sproul (book and video series)
- Community: When my wife and I surround ourselves with people who care about holiness, we find our selves caring deeper about holiness. But, when we surround ourselves with people who care more about other things, we find our affections torn in that direction. So we are going to fill our lives, for the most part, with people who love Christ deeply.
To close, I am not trying to suggest that parenting books are bad. In fact, there are a number of them I would highly recommend. Nor am I suggesting that parents who are preparing differently than us are going to fail as parents. This was something the Lord made abundantly clear to Shelby and I not by some “feeling”, but by what we consistently see in scripture (something I hope to write on more).
I will close with this, when Shelby first told me that I would be a father, she handed me her iPhone with an unusual smile on her face. When I looked down on the screen, it was the ESV app, on Psalm 127 where the Psalmist uses a very specific analogy for children. He calls them “arrows in the hand of a warrior”. R.C. Sproul Jr., in his book “Believing God” points out that this is not some random illustration. If we are truly fighting a war, “not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places” (Eph 6:12) than our children are future weapons that will carry on that fight. The point that the psalmist is making here, is that our children are future weapons that need to be sharpened, trained, raised to know and love God, his Son, his Spirit and his gospel. We as parents cannot do this without first knowing God ourselves. It is our prayer that our pursuit of knowing God, takes root in our heart, driving our pursuit of holiness, and ultimately forming the foundation of our parenting.
What makes life worthwhile is having a big enough objective, something which catches our imagination and lays hold of our allegiance; and this the Christian has in a way that no other persons has. For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God? -J.I. Packer (Knowing God, p. 34)


The Good Stuff
James 1:17Â Â Â 17.Â Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our FatherÂ Â â€¦
Stop & think for just a moment, what has been the best gift that you have ever received? I recently ask this question to our Elders during Bible Study and their response would most likely surprise the modern retail businesses of today. They did not mention new homes, automobiles, diamonds or gold. No electrical gadgets or devices. They did not mention any manmade orÂ physical objects,Â not even worldwide travel!
Their answers were given without hesitation and they revolved around the intangible things of this life such as their relationships with family, friends, children, & yes .. Jesus.
Â It was a beautiful scene at Bible Study that day. I was so proud of our elders and I wish the world could have heard their reply. It wasnâ€™t because they didnâ€™t know that all of these â€œthingsâ€ exist, (the fact is that this generation has witnessed more inventions & changes than any other generation in history) but rather they simply know what â€œThe Good Stuffâ€ in this life is! You know, they have so much for us all to learn from.
Â But then again this simply reinforces what the Bible teaches us in James 1:17. If itâ€™s good; it came from God! Elders at Pickett Care & Rehabilitation Center, thank you for a gentle reminder to all of us during this time of the year, to keep the â€œThe Good Stuffâ€ the main focus of our lives.

At times in life, the effort of our daily tasks and duties are so all consuming, overwhelming we have no energy to extend our imagination and envision what could be. This is a painting not of the Valley view, but of the struggle of each person from the morning light in the valley to the evening light of the foreground. It is a picture of the last days struggle to enter the valley of the Lord. Without the vision of brightness in the morning, would we be able to endure until the evening and still get up and go on again? Life is still the same. May we never lose sight of the goal of Eternal Life.

God has blessed me with two beautiful daughters. They are not only intelligent but love to take part in extra- curricular activities. They take part in songs competition, speech competitions and sports. Elder one is now in college and is a member of college women’ s basket ball team.
Christmas is approaching. It is a good time to buy gifts and other personal items because shops offer good discount during Christmas season.
While I was surfing the Internet for buying gifts for my Christian friends, I came across this page, where the retailer was offering well-known violin brands on sale. Bellafina and Florea are the best violins. I decided to buy one for a friend.
