Confirmation for Madison
Last night was Madison’s Confirmation into the Catholic Church. We’ve been without a Bishop in Utah for over a year now, but we finally have one! Bishop Wester was recently ordained, and his first order of business…..was Madi’s confirmation! It was pretty cool to be the first confirmation class in Utah that Bishop Wester presided over, and it was even his first visit to any parish! He did a great job and really seemed to connect to the kids!
Congratulations Madi! We are very proud of you and LOVE YOU very much!
Some of the photos are blurry….bad camera and bad lighting! Madi got this from Grandma & Grandpa, Uncle Kevin, Uncle Chris and Erin, and Carl and Tyson and I. She was sooo excited she was shaking when she saw "the box" and opened it!


Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4: 4-7.
Is joy a feeling or a state of mind? Are joy and happiness the same thing? Why is joy a gift? When was the last time you experienced real joy like the child in this photo?
What is joy? Definition … “the emotion evoked by well-being, success, or good fortune or by the prospect of possessing what one desires: delight (rejoice)”.
To rejoice is to have a deep sense of delight. The Greek word literally means “for the heart, in its deepest place of passion and feelings, to be well.” For the heart to feel very well. That’s what it is to have joy: to rejoice the heart.
J.D. Salinger, the author of Catcher in the Rye, once wrote, “The fact is always obvious much too late, but the most singular difference between happiness and joy is that happiness is a solid and joy a liquid.” While both are emotions, happiness is derived from external things, while joy is about the inner self. Joy is not static, but ever-changing, evolving with time.
”Christian joy is a good feeling in the soul, produced by the Holy Spirit, as he causes us to see the beauty of Christ in the Word and in the world.”
How many times is joy mentioned in the Bible? Old Testament = 155 times; New Testament = 63 times (NIV). The Bible says God gives us joy and peace. It tells us that real joy comes from God and is ours forever. Joy, therefore, is the natural response to God’s gracious gift.
Being joyful requires us to feel connected to other people in life, with nature, by appreciating the arts, and it requires an acceptance of life, as it is, in the present.
If joy is so powerful, then why do people have such difficulty experiencing and/or expressing it?
- JOY requires _______________ TIME_________________________________
- JOY requires ___________ ACCEPTANCE_____________________________
- JOY requires ______________ DESIRE________________________________
- JOY requires ____________ ENDURANCE_____________________________
Joy transforms our difficult circumstances into times of blessing. Something we should all be mindful of as we near the end of a very challenging 2020.
My wish for you this holiday season is that your life, and the lives of your loved ones, may be filled with joy, thanksgiving and hope. Hope for a bright, joy-filled future ahead.
Enjoy the journey!

Shrine Church is a parish of the Archdiocese of New York. All of the requirements of the Archdiocese of New York must
be met in order to have a wedding here at Saint Anthony's. We do not perform non-denominational, civil, or non-Catholic
weddings. At least one of the parties marrying must be a baptized and confirmed Roman Catholic, and you must secure
permission of the pastor of your current parish if you are not a member of Saint Anthony's.
~Please make an appointment with one of the parish priests for an initial consultation
and interview. The purpose of this is to determine your
freedom to marry in the Catholic Church. The priest will
walk you through all the necessary preparations, as well as any paperwork which may be needed.
~You will be given a booklet with a choice of marriage preparation programs of
different length being offered through the Archdiocese of New York, such as day programs, weekend programs, night sessions,
and also the Engaged Encounter Weekend. You will need to discuss your plans with the priest to receive his approval. Unfortunately, we do not offer these programs here at St. Anthony’s. The Archdiocese of New York's Office
of Family Life/Respect Life provides an opportunity to register for Preparation Programs for the sacrament of Marriage, sometimes
referred to as "Pre-Cana" classes. This is the website: www.nyfamilylife.org/marriage-preparation/
~Catholic parties must have received
the sacraments of Baptism, First Eucharist, and Confirmation, and provide certificates for these sacraments. These certificates
must be issued within six months of the wedding date. You can obtain
them from the church where you received these sacraments and have them mailed directly to St. Anthony’s. Non-Catholic
Christians must also provide proof of baptism, but these may be in any form available.
~ If either party has been previously
married, documentation and paperwork must be done to assure that you are free to marry and whether your marriage can take
place in the Catholic Church.
~Dates and times for weddings are available
on a first come, first served basis.
~Weddings can be scheduled
for Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, or any weekday.
~A priest or
deacon who is a family member or friend will be most welcomed to officiate at your wedding. However, he must be registered as a wedding
officiant with the City of New York before this can take place. Information about this can be found at cityclerk.nyc.gov/html/marriage/officiant_reg.shtml
~The couple is responsible for obtaining
a proper marriage license. The license must be presented to the
parish in advance.
Ceremony or Mass?
A Nuptial Mass is
a special celebration of the Sacrament of Marriage in the context of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The reception of
the Body and Blood of Christ is a sign of God’s love for us in the person of Jesus Christ. It is also a special
gathering of God’s people in unity as the Roman Catholic Church. While it is desirable
to celebrate wedding at a Nuptial Mass, certain criteria should be met. A ceremony is a
wonderful and valid option for those who do not meet these criteria. Both parties must
be practicing, church-going Catholics. This would presume
that both bride and groom attend Sunday Mass on a regular basis, are practicing members of the Catholic faith,
and are not cohabiting. Couples who are living together before marriage
do not constitute the proper sign within the Catholic church of the nature of the Sacrament of Marriage. Nuptial Masses cannot
be celebrated in the case of a Catholic marrying a non-Catholic. To prepare for your wedding ceremony
or Nuptial Mass, you will be given a booklet called "Together for Life." This contains choices for readings,
vows, prayers, etc. An online version can be found at http://togetherforlifeonline.com and for reading slections
Please discuss these guidelines
with the photographer and /or videographer. Your marriage Liturgy is a sacred moment
of prayer. Anything that disrupts this
time of prayer is to be avoided at all costs. While we understand your desire to record this moment, we ask you to observe the following
guidelines so that the sacredness of this celebration will not be marred by photo or taping equipment and those who operate
them. Photographers and videographers should check in with the celebrant before the wedding Mass or ceremony. Professional photographers and videographers are more aware of respecting limits and boundaries of a religious ceremony than are amateur
We cannot emphasize enough that a Nuptial Mass or Wedding Service
is a time of worship. Any music chosen for your wedding must be appropriate for use in a church. We do not permit
secular or popular music. Classical music must be appropriate for use in church, and must be approved. Love songs
and poems are very often inappropriate, since they do not express the religious nature of the Sacrament of Marriage, nor do
they reflect the special relationship with Christ and His Church involved in the Sacrament of Marriage.
Our church provides professional and capable music ministers to
assist you in the preparation of music for your wedding. You may have relatives or friends who would like to participate
in the music program of your wedding. This is subject to the permission of the parish priests and musicians.
Not all musicians are familiar with the challenges of singing or performing in a church setting. Not all musicians
understand the nuances of playing the organ or piano in a church, or leading a congregation in singing. Just because
someone sings does not mean they are appropriate singers for a church Mass or service. For those having a Mass, there
are parts of the Mass which must be sung. This is not an option. For wedding services, there may be more leeway,
but the same principles come into play. Someone who sings in a recital hall or a lounge may not be suitable for singing
in church. Musical repetoir is also something to take into consideration. Your favorite love song may be
more appropriate for your wedding reception than in the church. Music used in the church must be religious and liturgical.
Our parish cantor and organist are employed to handle the music at all our Masses and services. Just as you would not
expect to bring a friend who is a chef or a waiter to provide that service at any restaurant, so too we do not permit musicians
to completely take the place of our own parish musicians. This is also a matter of justice, since providing music at
our church is their means of employment.
The parish musician you work with is the representative of the
Pastor and staff of St. Anthony's, and will have final word in determining the use of guest musicians. You can contact
Christine Sperry, Music Minister, at firstname.lastname@example.org or 917-435-6669.
It is most appropriate for families to supply flowers for the
church altar for the embellishment of the church sanctuary. Flower pieces can be placed on pedestals by the florists.
Other flowere that are appropriate could be placed on the church pews, and special arrangments can be provided for presentation
to the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, if that is your family tradition. Please realize that the church is very large,
and small flower arrangements tend to get lost in such a large environment. Larger arrangements would enhance your
wedding more than small ones. Please know that flower arrangements SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED from the church after the wedding
and brought to the banquet hall. Flowers presented to God at His altar should remain there as your gift of gratitude
to God Himself.

Synkovichi village, Zelvensky district
On September 18, 2022, one of the earliest Gothic churches in Belarus, included in the state list of historical and cultural values - the church-fortress in the village of Synkovichi, Zelvensky district, invites you to the festival "Sonka Vecha", dedicated to the 720th anniversary of the founding of the first fortress and 615 years since consecration of the temple.
The main part of the festivities will be the Divine Liturgy, which will be led by Archbishop Anthony of Grodno and Volkovysk with a host of bishops and priests. At the end of the service, a procession will take place around the temple. Everyone can pray and venerate the miraculous icon of the Mother of God "The Tsaritsa" and other shrines of the temple.
The festival site will be the area around the temple. The guests of the event will witness and participate in the historical reconstruction in the style of the medieval era of the time of the Grand Duke Vitovt. There is a claim that it was he who rebuilt the ancient fortress into a temple in gratitude for the fact that the locals sheltered him from the pursuit of Jagiello. The surrounding lands were the patrimony of the Grand Duke.
The performance will allow you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of that time. Guests of the festival will be able to feel like a resident of the Middle Ages and take part in festive tournaments of medieval combat, competitions and games.
Monastic farmsteads, folk craftsmen and artisans will present their products to the festival guests. You will be able to see master classes in icon painting, wood carving, straw weaving, soap making, belt weaving, pottery and embroidery, as well as see the performance and become an artist of the Batleyka Theater yourself.

What a great month January has been at White Pine! The vision of impacting all the communities north of Portland as deeply as we have the towns of Cumberland and North Yarmouth is both daunting and exciting–daunting because we know we can’t do it on our own but exciting because we know God can do it through us! And we trust that He will as each of us PRAYS FOR ONE and OWNS OUR TOWN.
But just as important as how we pray and what we see is whether we speak. Our outreach must be verbal as well as visual, so I want to help you find your voice. Will it take courage? Yes. Will it require that you become someone you’re not? No. Come and see how God wants to use one-of-a-kind you to help others in your town find and follow Jesus.


There are many aspects of these “Sting Operations” that our on display in The Bible. Let’s start with the FIRST aspect–the Sting Operation itself:
Genesis 3:1-6 (NIV): THE FALL
1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
Another “Sting Operation,” but to a lesser degree occurs in the book of Daniel. Perhaps this is more similar to stuff that went on during the Nixon administration and which is also happening with the Trump administration today. Regardless, rules/laws are being enacted these days to favor Sting Operations. This is what occurred thousands of years ago when they tried to bring down Daniel:
Daniel 6:1-7 (NIV): DANIEL IN THE DEN OF LIONS
1 It pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom, 2 with three administrators over them, one of whom was Daniel. The satraps were made accountable to them so that the king might not suffer loss. 3 Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. 4 At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent. 5 Finally these men said, “We will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God.”
6 So these administrators and satraps went as a group to the king and said: “May King Darius live forever! 7 The royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers and governors have all agreed that the king should issue an edict and enforce the decree that anyone who prays to any god or human being during the next thirty days, except to you, Your Majesty, shall be thrown into the lions’ den. 8 Now, Your Majesty, issue the decree and put it in writing so that it cannot be altered—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.” 9 So King Darius put the decree in writing.
These parallel our lives today. It shows us that human nature doesn’t change. Desires, power, greed, etc. are still with us today.
In some sense we, who are family of those caught in the sting, are like Abraham (Abram):
Genesis 22:2 (NIV): ABRAHAM TESTED
2 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”
Think about it for a minute. Our family member, in some sense, is going to be sacrificed. If we go to trial and lose it will be a HUGE loss. If we carry on and WIN well that is a big relief and perhaps there is no sacrifice. Is this a TEST? Maybe, maybe not. But certainly there is a lesson (if not many) to be learned here.
I bring you to yet another passage that has significance here:
Luke 22:42-44 (NIV): JESUS PRAYS ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane prior to his capture. This essentially could be our family member awaiting their fate. Most likely there will be suffering, and it could be long and drawn out. It is that powerful prayer that is important: “Not my will, but yours be done.” This is where we put our lives into God’s hands and accept whatever outcome.
I don’t like these Sting Operations. They prey on the weak, gullible and they use deception (like the devil) to do so.
1 Peter 5:8-9 (NIV): DEVIL PROWLS LIKE A ROARING LION
8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
Thousands of people get captured every year in these DOJ funded Sting Operations. No, it is NOT FAIR! These are proactive measures that cast a wide net and capture the “innocent” as well as the guilty. The punishment handed down is extremely severe and not fully justified. There IS NO Grace in this Justice.
We continue to maintain our strength from Devotions (e.g. In Touch) and the Bible. If your family member can do the same they will be able to draw strength from this and overcome these difficult times NO MATTER WHAT THE OUTCOME. We all want things to work in our favor but unfortunately that won’t always happen (~80% of these cases do not end well). Trust, faith, and obedience go along way. So does forgiveness and repentance (turn away). I pray that all those going through this will have peace and get pass all the anger, frustration, stress and difficulties brought through these Sting Operation.

Explore Macedonia’s churches and monasteries, a total of 992, featuring 150,000sq.m of fresco paintings, 23,000 icons, 240 iconostases, and other church items carved in wood.
Macedonia’s churches and monasteries are among the country’s most precious treasures, where the spiritual and artistic heritage of the Byzantine Orthodox tradition is magnificently preserved.
While Macedonian churches share the essential characteristics of all Byzantine churches across the Balkans, in terms of construction, design and artwork, they also have very unique elements. First among these are the incredibly detailed and precise wood carvings found in many churches, especially in western Macedonia, created by the well-trained masters of the centuries-old Macedonian School of ecclesiastical art.
The singularity of Macedonia’s churches is also attested in the many frescoes and icons unusual for either their subject matter or style. Macedonian icons, acknowledged as being among the most important in the world, were recently displayed at a comprehensive exhibit by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Macedonia’s myriad churches bear witness to the country’s rich and varied past. Many reveal the influence of Serbian, Greek or Latin founders, while Oriental and even Evangelical touches can be seen in a few.
The country in a past, over the centuries often changed its borders and its ethnic compositions but the people managed to preserve most of these Macedonian treasures regardless of the different emperors and different religions that passed through. It is believed that Ohrid holds most of this treasure because once it had 365 churches – one for each day of the year.

Are you growing in your faith? If you think so, how do you know so?
For the past several weeks we’ve been wading into the apostle Paul’s first letter to the Christians in the ancient Greek city of Corinth -- which in the first century was one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the Roman empire. It had been populated by former slaves imported from around the empire.
There was a huge temple dedicated to the Greek goddess in Aphrodite -- the associated rituals influenced the culture of the whole region. Not surprisingly then, Corinth was also know for its loose approach to morals -- which in the ancient Roman world meant that they almost did not exist.
So, the question underlying much of this letter is how does one actually grow in their faith when they’re living in that kind of a cesspool? Is it even possible to experience genuine Christian growth when you’re living in a Corinth?
Is the power of the resurrection potent enough and life-changing enough that Corinthian people could actually be transformed and begin to join in God’s mission to transform the world?
At first glance it appears that there was little cause for optimism in answering those questions.
Apparently something had gone wrong -- terribly wrong in the new church there -- and there were some people in leadership who were advocating an alternative to the gospel as it had been taught by the apostles.
They were pitching spiritual growth and stature through an experience that they were calling “wisdom” or “knowledge.” We might say -- “enlightenment.”
In their system it was an add-on to the Jesus message. They were saying that if you are really going to grow and amount to anything as a person -- and a Christian -- you needed to go through a kind of enlightenment ritual in which you would receive their version of wisdom and knowledge.
Obviously, Paul was not terribly happy about this whole thing and First Corinthians is an attempt on his part to move things back toward the center -- who is Christ -- Christ the center.
As we move into chapter 3 of the letter Paul is still vigorously chiseling away at the ideas of these renegade influencers.
And he begins to layout a vision for genuine spiritual growth. So that’s what we’re looking at this morning and I’ve summarized his message with five observations. Five observations based on 1 Corinthians 3:1-9.
And here is the first one. GENUINE CHRISTIAN GROWTH INVOLVES A SOLID DIET.
Verse 1 -- “Brothers and sisters, I couldn’t talk to you like spiritual people but like unspiritual people, like babies in Christ. I gave you milk to drink instead of solid food, because you weren’t up to it yet. Now you are still not up to it because you are still unspiritual.”
Wow, these are pretty forceful and in-your-face statements. This is a slam against people who considered themselves spiritually superior -- who because of their enlightenment experience considered themselves to be the most mature.
But Paul blows them off -- and then cuts them down to size. He says, “You guys are spiritual milk drinkers! You haven’t even advanced to glop.”
That’s what we called the first solid foods that we fed our children. We mixed yogurt with fine ground cereal and we called it glop.
You think you’re so grown-up but you’re not even eating baby food. You’re stuck on milk -- that is, basic stuff. You’re not even getting the most basic teaching right so you have to keep trying to digest that if you’re going to grow.
And “basic teaching” in Paul’s mind would be -- repentance or turning from loose living -- obedience to Christ. Honesty and faithfulness. Trust in Christ. The power of the cross and resurrection -- chapter 15. Love. He devotes all of chapter 13 to revisiting that message.
These are not advanced topics. They are not graduate level -- or even upper division level. They were stuck in second grade.
Well, what then is solid food from Paul’s perspective?
Frankly, the deeper spiritual truths are not a lot different in nature than the more basic spiritual truths.
And the irony, of course, is that the deeper you go the more basic things are. But in a different way.
Yes, the basic teaching is turn from sin and be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins. (Acts 2:38). That is, conversion. But the deeper more solid food is the same -- except we’re applying it at a deeper level.
We stop thinking of conversion and baptism as a one time event but we begin to realize that we are having to live into our baptism on a daily basis -- Ongoing obedience to Christ.
It’s not just a past event but it is what is happening every moment. We’re focusing on converting every minute, every second -- giving over every breathe and thought to Christ. Repenting of even the ungodly and self-focused thoughts -- and not just the actions. And as we do that we begin to grasp the depth of our union or connection with Christ. Solid food.
Secondly, GENUINE CHRISTIAN GROWTH REJECTS FRACTIOUSNESS.
Sorry for the big uncommon word. But it is a great word to describe what we are rejecting when we are in the realm of solids. Fractiousness -- F-R-A-C-T-I-O-U-S-N-E-S-S
A fractious person is one who is thrives on being in quarrels. He is argumentative and lives to divide rather than unite.
And that was the Corinthian MO -- modus operand, method of operation.
Verse 3 -- “Now you are still not up to it because you are still unspiritual. When jealousy and fighting exist between you, aren’t you unspiritual and living by human standards? 4 When someone says, ‘I belong to Paul,’ and someone else says, ‘I belong to Apollos,’ aren’t you acting like people without the Spirit?”
We saw signs of this disunity in chapter 1:10-13 -- “Now I encourage you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: agree with each other and don’t be divided into rival groups. Instead be restored with the same mind and the same purpose. My brothers and sisters, Chloe’s people gave me some information about you, that you’re fighting with each other. What I mean is this: that each one of you says, ‘I belong to Paul,’ ‘I belong to Apollos,’ ‘I belong to Cephas,’ ‘I belong to Christ.’ Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you, or were you baptized in Paul’s name?”
Fractiousness is divisiveness. Instead of centering on Christ the focus is shifted to something or someone of lesser importance.
We don’t mean that there is no room for disagreement -- just that those disagreements cannot be used to define us or to set the course for us -- whether as individuals or groups.
In 1885 Swedish immigrants to the US dissolved the church bodies that they had originally formed upon arrival -- the Ansgar Lutheran Synod and the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Mission Synod in order to form the Swedish Evangelical Mission Covenant Church of America -- the group to which MasterPiece belongs.
Now, those early Covenant people were still pretty Lutheran in how they thought theologically and how they functioned. They were Lutherans who had been influenced by the Pietism of Moravians and Methodists. But they still found a lot of inspiration in the Lutheran theological categories.
And if you don’t yet understand what I just said, don’t worry about it right now. But note that they wanted to make it clear that they were not just for Lutherans -- so they dropped the word Lutheran from their title.
Eventually they dropped the word Swedish from their name because they wanted to make it clear that they were not just for Swedish immigrants or the children of Swedish immigrants.
They were and we still are, working on trying to be less fractious -- less divided -- focusing instead on the common mission. That’s what the word “Covenant” means in this context, a covenant to work together and be accountable to one another for the mission of Christ.
We are not perfect, and we are by no means 100% successful in living into our stated values, but we know that genuine growth takes place in the kind of environment which builds bridges rather than walls over every little thing about which we might disagree.
If we can keep the focus on what God is doing, what we agree he has revealed in the Bible -- then the lesser matters of who and how remain lesser matters. There is less fractiousness.
Diminishing fractiousness is an indicator of genuine spiritual growth.
Thirdly, GENUINE CHRISTIAN GROWTH IS SERVANT GROWTH.
Verse 5 “After all, what is Apollos? What is Paul? They are servants who helped you to believe. Each one had a role given to them by the Lord: I planted, Apollos watered, but God made it grow. Because of this, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything...”
We are only God’s servants -- and there is not much ego in being a servant. Servants are not looking for nor do they get much personal credit.
And if your spiritual identity hinges on others recognizing all that you have done or the sacrifices you’ve made... If you need people to tell you that you are important because you have helped your neighbor unload
the moving truck -- hey, you don’t get it.
Yes, it is nice when we receive recognition for something we’ve done. But as we grow spiritually and personally we no longer live for the recognition of others. As we grow into our roles as servants we realize that it’s not so much about us as it is about who we serve.
Second half of verse 7 -- “...but the only one who is anything is God who makes it grow. The one who plants and the one who waters work together, but each one will receive their own reward for their own labor.”
Yes, there are rewards -- but we are not driven by the rewards. Our drive is, to quote verse 9, the fact that “We are God’s coworkers...”
That’s our identity -- the fact that we are serving alongside God himself. That’s the thrill!
Are you growing as a servant? Or do you see growth more in terms of how many are serving below you on a pyramid?
Genuine maturity -- spiritual growth is servant growth.
Fourthly, GENUINE CHRISTIAN GROWTH IS A PROTRACTED PROCESS.
This is an assumption behind the agricultural metaphor. We all know that growing plants takes time -- at least in most places.
On Guam we can put a plumeria stick in the ground and within a few weeks it has roots and is starting to branch -- and within a few more weeks is blooming.
But even then it took time -- not as much time as some places -- but it still did not happen over night. Genuine growth needs time.
Eucalyptus trees grow relatively fast but because they develop so fast they are weak and subject to wind and storm damage. You don’t want to have a tall eucalyptus tree one next to your house.
Likewise with mango trees in the tropics. They grow extremely fast and tall -- but they are extremely brittle.
In contrast, there are bristle cone pine trees -- slow growing on the back side of the Sierra Nevada mountain range -- one of which are nearly 5,000 years old.
There is a Baobab tree in South Africa which is 6,000 years old.
Slow but steady growth is more sustainable over the years. Don’t get anxious if you have not developed as fast as you think you should have. Just keep trusting God and moving forward.
Here is a general rule of thumb. In my experience, those concerned that they are not growing enough are the ones who are in fact growing -- they just can’t see it. But those who think they’re achieved a lot don’t really get it and they’re as brittle as eucalyptus.
I teach a spiritual formation class at Pacific Islands University -- that is, how is it that we are formed or grow into the image of Christ.
Sometimes my students get frustrated with me. A lot of them are looking for quick answers and formulas for growth. Read your Bible everyday and pray for so many minutes and you’ll become a mature convinced and convincing follower of Christ Jesus.
The area where I hear the most grumbling is when it comes to prayer. Students really want to learn how to pray. But usually, when they say that, they’re looking for a magic formula that will give them the power, focus, and concentration they think they need to get on top of life.
They’re looking for the right formula -- the right words to say, and the right prayer posture, so that they can get whatever they ask for.
But I teach them the not so flashy Lord’s Prayer -- in which, by the way, we find the entirety of the kingdom of God message summarized. Once you’ve really learned how to pray the Lord’s Prayer in all its simplicity you’ve grown to the place where you can and are hitting on all cylinders spiritually. Then you can learn more.
This is one reason that I’m pretty adamant that we use the Lord’s Prayer in worship -- so that it becomes second nature to us -- and that it is so imprinted over time that it starts to form who we are and what we think and what we ask for and how we ask for it.
We do this with our young children. We make them say words they don’t really understand nor perhaps mean -- please, thank you.
And over time they are formed by the words themselves. They become gracious and grateful people.
The same is true with growing through the Lord’s Prayer.
It’s a process -- and it only comes through time and doing -- repetition -- rooting, to continue the farming metaphor. And it is true that there might be times that we say it without thinking -- but over time -- through the process -- as the imprint becomes deeper we begin to think deeper about it.
In Luke 11 the disciples ask Jesus how they should pray and he says, “When you pray say this...” That is, learn to repeat this. Commit to this long protracted process.
Fifth, GENUINE CHRISTIAN GROWTH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT GOD IS THE GROWER.
vs. 7 -- “Because of this, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but the only one who is anything is God who makes it grow.”
The NLT renders the last line -- “What’s important is that God makes the seed grow.”
It’s really God who makes it all happen. We’re just cooperating -- and even the ability to do that is by his grace -- his generosity. And we acknowledge God as grower when we eat solid food, reject fractiousness, become servants in our thinking and acting, and commit to a long term process.
This morning I want to challenge you to embrace this kind of growth -- genuine growth. In Colossians 2 Paul says,
“Just as you have received Christ Jesus so continue to live in him.”
That is, just as you have decided to follow him and have given him total access to your life -- stay that course -- don’t change strategies and look for a short-cut in the form of an add-on spirituality.
And be genuine about it.
You know, our natural tendency is to try to manage our images with other people. We want people to think a certain way about us.
So, for example, I might say, “I don’t watch television much but I saw this great show on TV last night.”
Did you catch it? “I don’t watch TV much...” That is, I don’t want you thinking of me as someone who sits around watching TV all the time.
We do image management in a lot of ways -- and the temptation is to try to manage how others think of our spiritual growth.
I’ve been trying to start these seeds for our garden and I decided last week that it might help to put a grow light on them at night so that they get some extra light on the same wave-lengths as the sun -- firm them up -- speed up their growth. So I bought this plant light bulb.
Cheryl saw the package sitting by the lamp and asked me the other day, “Why did you buy a plant light bulb?”
So I went through the whole speech -- explaining about speeding up and firming up the growth of the seeds.
Then she read to me the side of the package. “This Plant Light bulb from GE is tinted blue to highlight the natural beauty and color of your plants -- so they appear healthier and greener.”
I thought I was buying a grow light (and there are actual grow lights) but I bought a plant light that was only designed to make things look better. I didn’t even know that they made light bulbs for THAT purpose.
I thought plant lights were grow lights. But while plant lights may manage the image of the plants -- making them appear greener and healthier -- they don’t help them grow any better than any other source of light. There is nothing special about them.
Through my own inattentiveness to the label I messed up. And that’s exactly what the Corinthians were struggling with. They had directed a bunch of artificial plant lights onto their lives and were bragging about how wonderfully they’d grown -- all the while they were infected with a sickness that given enough time would probably kill them. They were masking their flaws with artificial light.
Genuine growth isn’t interested in the appearance of growth but is committed to the real thing -- the obedience to Christ that is solid food, the rejection of fractiousness, the adoption of servant thinking and acting, and a long term growth process.


I love all things spontanious. So, when I got the last minute news that my bestest friend would be coming to Las Vegas for the weekend I was very very excited! My friend DeeDee and me always have the best time together. She's just as sarcastic as I am and we just get eachother. We like to say we share a brain. [hahaha] We had such a great time and so I thought to myself why not blog about it.
Saturday: Went over a Bible study DeeDee wrote on "the armor of God". Such a blessing to have a friend who is talented at taking God's word and relating it to daily life. I really needed this study and I'm thankful she shared it with me.
That night we went to a country restaurant/bar by my house. We had so much fun watching the line dancers and taking pictures.
Sunday: DeeDee got to come serve in the infant room at Central Christian Church's Summerlin campus with me. After that we attended the service on not being afraid of what other's think of you. This was such an amazing sermon. The worship before hand was very moving!! I feel so blessed to be a part of a church like Central and was so happy I got to share it with a good friend. Sadly, after church my dear friend had to head home but what a wonderful time we had.
Here are some pictures from our weekend extravaganza:


Ephesians 4:22-24 (ESV)
22 to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires,
23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,
24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
Romans 13:14 (ESV)
14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.It does not take long for a beggar to put off his rags and take instead a new suit of clothes, and it need not take a moment longer to put away habits and thoughts, ways of speech and life which are unworthy of the children of God. Do it now, and look up to the Holy Spirit to keep renewing you in the spirit of your mind.
“If the Holy Spirit be ungrieved He will witness to our sonship; He will enthrone Christ as King of our life; will keep the self-life in the place of death; will give us a hunger for the things of God; He will give power in witness-bearing. In order to have a strong and blessed Christian experience, the one thing is to see that we do not grieve the Spirit. I do not think that we can grieve Him away, but we may greatly limit and restrain His gracious work by insincerity of speech, the nursing of an unforgiving spirit, any kind of over-reaching or fraudulent dealing, impurity of speech, or failure in love. We may be bound, so as not to be able to move our arms, by a number of cotton threads, quite as tightly as by a strong rope-thong. Let us take care not to grieve Him by such inconsistencies.” —F.B. Meyer
At the moment of true faith, when, in recognition of the utter sinful rebellion of one’s being in the sight of God, a person accepts that God’s perfect mercy was shed in Jesus Christ, and His Grace is available for cleansing, that old, self-life sinfulness dies with Christ on the Cross. The poor, mourning soul is buried with Christ and called out, like Lazarus, grave clothes and all, to new life. The New Man is regenerated with life from the Risen Lord who tells us to come out of the place of death and encourages us and those of our family to remove the grave clothes.
Put off the old man! that’s the command to remove the grave clothes Come out of the tomb! We’re to leave the place of death and the clothes that are only appropriate in such a dark and loathsome place. We are to walk, not remain lame. We are to show ourselves to the Priest, Christ, that we are truly cleansed, not continue to live in blindness or corruption among the leper colony.
In addition to putting off the things of the dead self-life, we are to put ON the things of Life, the garments that have been provided by the Father for the wedding feast. How many will attempt to attend the wedding feast without the appropriate garments? They will be cast out because they never received the cloak of righteousness that comes from the Father because of His great Grace, recognizing the payment He made through His son, Jesus Christ.
We understand through quantum theory that one particle can exist equally in two places. So, it is not hard to imagine how we can exist in the Heavenly realm with Jesus as our representative, whose Spirit resides within us, as well as bodily in this earthly realm. But we must increasingly associate ourselves with the Ascended Lord who sits in the throne room of Heaven, a very real place, rather than this temporary shell of what we know as reality.
We should be like travelers who, as we draw closer to home, we see landmarks that are more reminiscent of Home than of the places through which we traveled. These landmarks should encourage us and remind us of the Home to which we’re traveling.
The Old Man resides in the place of death and values the grave clothes over anything else. The riches of this world, the recognition of fellow dead men will one day be revealed to our sight in stark detail that will not be missed. In that day, the dead men of the rebellion will know how foolish they’ve been and will see clearly how useless their wealth and status is against the Lord. They will feel like the primitive savage confronting a modern army. Their spears will be like toothpicks and their witch doctors will be revealed as frauds. The LORD will roll over the rebels decisively. There will be no resistance. There will be no hope.
Death and the grave cannot survive in the purifying Light of Life. Not for an instant.
Put off the Old Man, leave the grave behind. Put ON the New Man, who is Christ our LORD.


|Priests of the Zagreb Archdiocese Visit Jasenovac|
After visiting Stara Gradi┼íka, today, September 24, priests from the Zagreb Archdiocese paid a visit to Jasenovac. In the parish church on the occasion of the prayer of the Sixth Hour, Archbishop Cardinal Josip Bozani─ç said during the homily that in Jasenovac a person open to the truth feels deep pain caused by violence, injustice and inhumanity. Here, in the words of the cardinal, much that is unspeakable is etched deeply into the soul, leaving serious questions unanswered and many poisoned with hatred.
Although with the passage of years there are fewer people who can testify about their experiences and the horrors of the Second World War, the cardinal emphasized how important it is, with their assistance and testimony, for new generations to get to the truth and acquire an appropriate understanding of these events... read more
"New generations, especially children and young people, removed in time from the actual events, have the opportunity to illuminate the truth through their efforts. The truth is the only thing that can free us from the open and hidden conflicts stemming from its manipulation. As the Church, we wholeheartedly support the investigation of all the aspects of the events prior to, during and after World War II, which should be conducted as soon as possible using all truthful means. Although much time has passed, during which there were a multitude of opportunities, such effort today is not only not in vain but is also greatly needed. Efforts should be made concerning the availability of all the relevant documents and testimonies, the opening of the archives relevant to understanding the overall context, and the application of a valid scientific method permeated with a desire for the truth and commitment to the good," said the cardinal.
He commented that when God as well as morality based upon the common good and the good of others are removed from the personal and public environment, it is a short path to the craving for authority over others, enslavement and the extermination of groups of people, even entire nations. It is not possible to build the happiness of individuals or nations on the foundations of racial or class ideology, on the foundations of discrimination against someone's ancestry or religion, or on the foundations of godlessness that does not accept the truth that all people are God's creatures, of equal dignity, said the cardinal.
"In Jasenovac, we feel deep pain for all the victims, particularly those who suffered and were killed here by members of the Croatian nation, and even greater pain when the perpetrators were members of the Catholic Church. Although we acknowledge the sin of those who are unworthy to bear the name of Catholic, the Catholic Church never participated in or supported such crimes. Moreover, although some want the Church to attribute failure to 'omission,' there are many indications that representatives of the Church and its members provided various forms of opposition to the inhumane ideology directed against others, especially against members of the Jewish and Serbian nations, Romes and political dissenters among the Croatian nation during that difficult period," emphasized the cardinal, adding that the names of the victims, their lives and personal journeys through the darkness of the Jasenovac concentration camp obligate us to seek the truth.
This place, as well as hundreds of other execution sites in Croatia, requires the truth, to which nothing is added or omitted, the truth that will not be suppressed by new ideologies or promote new levels of humiliation and crime, said the cardinal.
The cardinal stated that the precious models of courageous witnesses, among whom, undoubtedly, the most exemplary is the Blessed Alojzije Stepinac, must not be forgotten. The truth about the Blessed Stepinac has been suppressed, distorted, covered by a cloak of lies and has yet to penetrate the hearts and minds of new generations. "The victims of the Jasenovac camp cry out for the truth. They also cry out for the truth about our Beatus. The victims of the Jasenovac camp will be honored when they are approached with honor, as evident in concern for the truthful and complete listing of all the victims ÔÇô to the extent that they are not instrumentalized for anyone's political errors or manipulations.
We are well aware of the extent to which the victims of the Jasenovac camp were instrumentalized for the purpose of stigmatizing the Croatian nation as a genocidal nation and the Croatian state as an undesirable entity. We know that such abuses were even used to justify many killings and crimes that have still not been called by their real names, not only immediately following the Second World War but also throughout the period of the communist regime, as well as in the preparation and carrying out of the aggression and violence in Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina during the 1980s and 1990s," said the cardinal.
Archbishop Bozani─ç emphasized in his homily that a well-intentioned person simply cannot understand, much less accept, that the victims of Bleiburg and the death marches were consequences of what the Ustasha regime did in Jasenovac. "Petrified with amazement, we listened to the excuses voiced by tyrants during the Homeland War (1991-1995), who killed so many, destroyed so many families and homes, inflicted such unspeakable pain and expelled innocent people from their homes, that they were acting preventively in order that the atrocities in the Ustasha camp in Jasenovac would not be repeated. It is even more incomprehensible that today, from political stages, with no repercussions for lying in public, it is propagated that the Catholic Church is an Ustasha stronghold," said the cardinal.
He further emphasized that the site of the Jasenovac camp is a school where it is learned to what extent humans can be inhumane. Evil is not abstract. It is always concrete. It occurs in a specific place and is perpetrated by specific people. Here, one cannot remain indifferent to the suffering of the victims of this camp. Here, profoundly sympathizing with innocent victims, there is a sense of suffering that gives a person the right to cry out in prayer: God, deliver us from evil, said the cardinal.
"While we pray here with Christian piety, remembering the victims of the Ustasha regime, from this place we also raise our cry for the truth about the victims of the communist regime because, unfortunately, it is still being concealed and negated in our country, as is the truth about the crimes of communism committed during the war, the postwar period and throughout its reign of terror. Why, even after nineteen years of democratic changes, are there still no list of the victims of communism, no due commemorations and no suitable memorials? Who is preventing this, who opposes it? Why has the European Parliamentary Resolution on European Conscience and Totalitarianism, dated April 2 of this year, in which it is clearly explained that reconciliation is the ultimate goal of the disclosure and assessment of the crimes committed by the communist totalitarian regimes, not been implemented until now in our country?" asked the cardinal, adding that precisely such a place cries out for peace, forgiveness and reconciliation, but also for remembrance.
"Nazism, fascism and communism are part of Croatian history because the Croatian population was also afflicted by the tragedy of the twentieth century that, in the words of the Servant of God John Paul II, was marked by three great evils: fascism, Nazism and communism. To justify a totalitarianism, i.e., to cover up and remain silent about the injustice that it inflicted, means to induce permanent unrest in society and the public because a historical lie is a crime. Questions regarding the Second World War and the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century will continue to generate unrest and hostility in our society as long as we do not apply the same measure toward all totalitarian regimes and until the same measure of remembrance is guaranteed to all the victims," clarified the cardinal.
The cardinal stated that the priests had gone humbly to Jasenovac because they feel that the time has come, in a manner that does not violate the truth, to approach speaking about this place filled with pain, desiring only to pray over it. "We did not come here for debate or polemics. Although some continue to seek apologies, justifications, opinions or political views from us, we did not come here to convey them, because precisely such statements, based upon untruth, have frequently contaminated the truth. Nonetheless, it can be said that the Church has always manifested its freedom from political and other godless motives that led the minds of those who gave the orders and the hands of the executioners in all dictatorships, i.e., those who created the Bolshevik gulags, Nazi and fascist concentration camps, and the communist prisons. The Church has done so and will do so, although it has paid dearly with the lives of its faithful and leaders, and although it has been slandered without foundation.
When ideologues from various sides instructed the Catholic Church regarding what it should do in relation to the Memorial Area of Jasenovac, they forgot that the Church is the bearer of truth, regardless of the sinfulness of its faithful, sinfulness for which we repent every day, attempting to be better followers of Jesus Christ. The Church cannot and must not be a part of the political violence perpetrated against the victims. With this pilgrimage, we are first opening ourselves to God and then imbuing suffering with hope through prayer," explained the cardinal.
Following the prayer of the Sixth Hour, the priests toured the Memorial Area of the Jasenovac concentration camp. During the visit to the Jasenovac Memorial Area, the bishops and priests became acquainted with the concept of the museum exhibition, the manner in which the victims of the former concentration camp are listed, and the use of the database of the victims. The cardinal noted that listing the names of the victims gave them the dignity of victims.
After a visit to the Memorial Area of the Jasenovac concentration camp the archbishop of Zagreb wrote the following in the book of impressions: "In prayer for the victims and for the gift of God's Spirit that purifies the truth, heals through love and instills hope through justice and mercy, I have visited this memorial area, leading a pilgrimage of priests from the Archdiocese of Zagreb to Stara Gradi┼íka, Jasenovac and Petrinja."
Human suffering and Christ's victory over sin and death oblige us to live in the light of the Lord's resurrection and grow in love that transforms, in order for a safe and peaceful life to flourish everywhere, wrote the cardinal further.
At the end of the visit, Archbishop Bozani─ç said a prayer of absolution for the victims of the camp, inviting those present to pray for peace, justice and love, and particularly for those who promote the truth about the former Jasenovac concentration camp.
In a press statement, Nata┼ía Jovi─Źi─ç, the director of the Jasenovac Memorial Area, referred to the visit by the archbishop, bishops and priests of Zagreb as the crown of all the visits thus far made by representatives of the Catholic Church to this camp. As a memento, she gave the cardinal a book with a list of 72 thousand names of the victims of the camp, which is constantly being updated.

On this day (October 31) sometime during the reign of Pope Gregory III (731-741) Christians began celebrating All Hallows Eve (contracted today to Halloween) as the beginning of their commemoration of the dead on All Saints (Hallows) Day (November 1) and All Souls Day (November 2). In Christianity it is traditional to begin the celebration of major religious feasts with a vigil the night before.
Many people think that Pope Gregory placed the vigil on October 31 because of the Celtic feast of Samhain. The celebrations of many Christian festivals were purposely set to coincide with pagan observances in an effort to coopt the revelries for Christianity. Samhain marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the dark wintery half of the year.
The Puritans opposed the celebration of Halloween as they did many of the Church of England feasts so they did not bring it with them when they settled the New World. It was not until the mass migration of Scotts and Irish in the mid-nineteenth century that Halloween began to be widely celebrated in North America. Today, like many Christians feasts, the day has lost most (if not all) of its religious connotations and is marked by imaginative and often scary costumes, parades, parties, decorating, carving of pumpkins, tons of candy, and the pranks referred to in the challenge, “Trick or Treat!”
My father used to tell a story about Trick or Treating when he was young. The houses on his street did not have indoor plumbing and children who were disappointed at the front door of a house on Halloween used to go around to the backyard to knock over the outhouse in protest of poor rewards. As my father tells it, one wily old man decided not only to be stingy with his treats but to play a prank of his own on his costumed visitors. He moved his outhouse back several feet so that the children planning to do mischief in his back yard could fall in the open hole…

Faithful see Jesus in apartment window
10:29 AM CDT on Friday, May 27, 2005
By ISABEL ROJAS / Al Día
FORT WORTH – Faith can move mountains and make the crippled walk, according to Elvira Garcia, who said she was healed when she saw the image of Jesus Christ in an apartment window.
Early Thursday, Ms. Garcia took flowers and a candle to honor the image at the Fossil Ridge Apartments in northeast Fort Worth.
Socorro Duron uses her hand to trace the outline of the stain. "I came here hobbling, and look how I am now: I can raise my leg," she said. "It's a miracle. Now that I see God's image, I am strong."
Clara Martinez, 43, said she noticed the image Wednesday afternoon as she took care of her grandchildren in the apartment.
"There were colors in the window. I went out and saw the face," she said.
Her neighbors gathered outside to see it, bringing candles, flowers and pictures of the Virgin of Guadalupe. One man came with an ultrasound scan of his ill wife.
The Rev. Esteban Jasso of All Saints Catholic Church in Fort Worth said he saw a colorful figure but not the face of Jesus.
"There are several ways to interpret this; there are people who see what we don't," the priest said. He said that expressions of faith are respected by the church, and that if people bring flowers and pray to the image, that's fine with him.
There is a rainbow in the widow that is Jesus' hair, according to those who see the image. They say his face is in the glass itself.
"The image is very clear. At first I didn't see it; I was looking for the virgin. And now that I look at it, it looks very good," said Norma Quiroz, who was driving by Thursday and stopped when she saw a crowd.
Father Jasso said that while he respects people's beliefs, he's concerned that someone will start asking for donations or otherwise try to exploit people's faith.
"I don't think the Fort Worth Diocese will do anything until this really causes a massive crowd to gather," he said.
A priest with the National Catholic Church of Mexico, a church that is not governed by the Fort Worth Diocese, said the image is a miracle and can be seen very clearly.
"I will bring two bishops from Mexico to see the image, and then we'll take proof to Rome," said the Rev. John Parnell of St. Augustine Church of Fort Worth.
He scheduled a Mass at the foot of the image.
Honestly, though, I feel sorry for these people. This will consume the lives of these people for the next several days, weeks or months to come. Things in this country must really be bad for people to get some sort of hope from an image on a window. To me, it looks like water and oil mixed on the window.


NOTE: During the coronavirus (COVID-19) health crisis we will be meeting online on YouTube Live and Vimeo.
What should you expect? We sing songs to celebrate who God is and what he has done for us. We read Scripture together, hear a message based on a passage of the Bible, and observe the celebration of Communion. Each week we also highlight ways we are serving the community.
All are welcome. Children's classes are provided. Dress is casual.

Christmas Greetings From
Uncle Monty At Jerusalem.
As a sinful Anglican, Protestant, and Christain, I have now
arrived at Religious Israel at this Christmastide to witness first
hand the holy sites of Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Nazareth,
among others, and to be devoted to the spiritual and historic
presence of our Christ Child's magnificent and all-splendid
birth that humankind cannot deny no matter how hard some
of them try in this age of dark digital disrespect for
His Holy birth and all that He stood for.
I am humbled to be standing for the first time inside Israel,
despite all of its seizure mentality and Palestinian strife
and provocative threats against a future Nuclear Iran.
I am here as a Christian and Western pilgrim first and
foremost, but my Anglican eyes and Protestant ears will
not and cannot dismiss or ignore what I see and hear inside
Israel that is armed to the teeth and living under a military
and police state that is disconcerting to
witness to say the least.
Of course, while here inside Israel, I shall endeavour to
visit the most ancient and most traditional religious sites
of the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ. From Jerusalem
to Bethlehem to Nazareth to the See of Galilee I shall
tread with great respect and no doubt much awe of
Christendom's memorials, monuments and edifices
that mark here the glad origins of true Christianity.
After Israel, I shall also be visiting Jordan's Amman
while staying very clear of post-Hosni Mubarak's
Egypt while in the Middle East for the next three weeks.
Lebanon's Beirut is also on my New Year's travel list.
On my flight back to London, I shall make a stop-
over at Rome for a couple of days if the winter
weather of Europe doesn't suddenly turn foul.
Once I return to homebase, I shall continue my blog
stories - here at allaboutthebigissue - against The
Rotten Big Issue and the vile Bird Brothers and
coupled with looking at the many issues and events
impacting on the lives of the homeless inside
Broken Down Britain.
In the meantime from Jerusalem on this Christmas Day,
and after being in Bethlehem for the rise of Christmas morn,
I wish you all a very Happy Christmas & A Blessed
New Year, 2012, which will bring with it many important
anniversaries like the centenary of the sinking of the Titanic,
the 200th Anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens, the
Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's
English reign, and the somber 40th Anniversary of the
Massacre of Israeli Athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics
that coincides with our own London Olympics. I shall no
doubt be hoping to write and comment on such events,
here and there, during the year of 2012 on my Google
blogz after my heart operation has taken place!
So In closing the year 2011, I again wish one
and all a Very Happy Christmas from Israel ...
Best Wishes, Uncle Monty.
+Christmas Day At Jerusalem, 2011.
Old Christmas Carols At The Brompton Oratory.
By Uncle Monty.
Photos By Gary Day
& Alex Albion.
Just a day or so before heading off to Tel Aviv via
Rome, I accepted the welcome invitation for me to attend
the Traditional Catholic Carol Service at London's famed
Brompton Oratory. With over 2,500 persons present, it
was an extraordinary event by any religious standard of
which I was delighted to be a part off even though I'm
not Catholic but purely Old Anglican.
The Brompton Oratory's Marvellous Boys' & Girls' Choir.
Of the 4 or 5 Xmas events I attended over the space of
the past 7 days in London, undoubtedly the Carol Service at
the Brompton Oratory was the most traditional - thankfully.
Many of the old Christmas carols came forth with O Come,
O Come, Emmanuel; Once In Royal David's City (one of
my favourite carols along with The Holly & The Ivy
and I Wonder as I Wander ); O Come, All Ye Faith-
ful, and Hark The Herald Angels Sing. Those carols of
old I so much love and they can basically keep all the
rest of the jazzed-up Christmas honky-tonky tunes
and modernistic Xmas songs for they do so little for
me. I'm a traditionalist first and foremost over all the
trashy Xmas stuff of today that leaves me mostly
cold and decidedly unmoved.
Solemn Benediction At The Close of the Carol
Service By the Religious Fathers & Brothers of
London's famed Brompton Oratory. It was a fitting
close to the Latin Rite Catholicism I found at The
Oratory Under The Foundership of St. Philip Neri.
Just A Stone's Throw from The Oratory, I saw this
delightful English Merry-Go-Round going round and round
and with it all lit up as winter dusk fell at Old London Town.

His character must be upright, not stuffy. He needs to be honest to the core, yet vulnerable and real Official I turned myself into a pringle Morty I’m Pringles Rick shirt by tshirtat store. It is a tall order, but it promotes his realization that he/she can’t live up to the order. It definitely promotes humility and a dependence on the Holy Spirit to fulfill the calling because it is impossible without the daily work of Christ in his life and he ministers to the people in his family first, within the church, and also to the community as well.
And finally, you should know that it is likely the church you go to will be way less impressed with your gifts than your professors at the seminary are Official I turned myself into a pringle Morty I’m Pringles Rick shirt by tshirtat store. If they are, it will be very short-lived. Plan on it and expect it or you will be very shocked. Don’t be surprised by the criticism. It will come. Don’t take it too seriously, but pay attention to it in the sense that you need the wisdom to know the kernels of truth that are wrapped inside the criticism.
A person’s crush will usually like them back, as long as the aforementioned person is the main character. The two people will also awkwardly and cutely flirt before they get together, seemingly unaware that they’re “made for each other. You’re on a sports team, you wear your letterman jacket or cheerleader uniform to school every single day. If the main character is a senior, only other characters that are seniors will show up. If the main character is a sophomore, similarly, the other characters will also all be sophomores.


Is it true that if at first you don't succeed you should try and try again? Years and years of trying and trying often get you the same result and, in reality, this means there’s something in God’s Word still missing from your life. Thomas Edison did not fail, he found out 2,000 ways how not to make a light bulb. These 31 amazing chapters, filled with daily declarations and nuggets of wisdom, will help change your mind and fuel a fresh drive for a foundation of victory and success. Our prayer for you is that the days of trying and trying and falling and failing are over and you will never feel like giving up again.
Why are you not more successful in living up to God's standards and promises for your life? Why do you continually stumble and fall? Why do you give in more often than not?
As you arise and shine, read these daily chapters, and quote these declarations you will begin to build a firm foundation to help motivate you to overcome any obstacle. Our prayer for you is that we help ignite the power of God’s Word in your life. We invite you to begin a deeper journey in His Word with us. You will learn that victory belongs to you and you never again have to give in or give up! Success is imminent as you trust God’s Word, apply and use your faith, and build new mindsets.
With His great love,
Joe and Bella Garcia

The Church commemorates today the Synaxis for the archangels, Michael and Gabriel, and all the bodiless powers of heaven.
“The role of angels, or spiritual powers, is evident from their appearance in both the old and the new testament. St Paul says: “They are all spirits, whose work is service, sent to help those who will be the heirs of salvation.”
“While the Church honors these divine ministers as guardians and messengers each Monday, today we feast especially Michael and Gabriel. Michael, whose name means “one like God,” was revered in the Old testament. In the book of Revelation he is depicted as the captain of the angelic army” (NS).
James Michael Thompson writes of today’s feast: “The Synaxis of the Chief of the Heavenly Hosts, Archangel Michael and the Other Heavenly Bodiless Powers: Archangels Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selaphiel, Jehudiel, Barachiel, and Jeremiel was established at the beginning of the fourth century at the Council of Laodicea, which met several years before the First Ecumenical Council. The 35th Canon of the Council of Laodicea condemned and denounced as heretical the worship of angels as gods and rulers of the world, but affirmed their proper veneration.

Here is our scrabble challenge that helped the sunday school children understand that it's sometimes hard to fit in with others and you have to take time and effort to work together to achieve goals. The younger children enjoyed this challenge in a week where we were thinking about being connected with each other and god.

After you have toiled, put in all you have and built such a great edifice that will be mistaken for a palace and only for God to reject it like the offering of Cain. Yes God rejects so called good works that many will applaud per our standard.
A great error that we often commit is to run around keeping ourselves so busy to convince all around us that we have a great zeal for the Lord and his work. Unfortunately, God often does not see it as such.
The Big Question is this; has God specifically intructed you to do what you are doing ? Else, despite your good work, God calls you rebellious.
What sorrow awaits my rebellious children,”
says the Lord.
“You make plans that are contrary to mine.
You make alliances not directed by my Spirit,
thus piling up your sins.
2 For without consulting me,
you have gone down to Egypt for help.
You have put your trust in Pharaoh’s protection.
You have tried to hide in his shade.
Are you led by the Holy Spirit?
Only those led by the Spirit are the real children of God according to Romans 8:14.
All good looking stuffs you do in the name of God without the leading of his Spirit brings God no honour. Hence it only feeds man’s ego to make him/her more proud.
Men will praise and celebrate your acheivement but God will refer to it as “dead work”.
Therefore, when God gives you an assignment, do not rush immediately to do it in your strength. Remember to wait for his leading first. This will save you from a whole lot of unnecessary troubles.
God bless you.
