"O God, our God, how excellent are your counsels" - 17 May 2015 PM


O God, our God, how excellent are your counsels; and faithful are you in all your actions. We pray for your church throughout the nations that you would lead them in their decisions, direct them in their actions, and prosper them in their ambitions that they are undertaking in line with your will. Please give patient endurance to our brothers and sisters who are being hounded and harmed for the faith; deliver them from the slanderous tongues of their prosecutors and from the smashing hands of their abusers. And may they stand tall and unflinching in the strength and might of Jesus your Son, the faithful martyr.  O Lord, hear our prayer.

We call upon you to be with these churches; Community Christian Church; Crossroads Church; Crown Heights Christian; Draper Park Christian; Edmond Christian; and Forest Hill Christian Church; may they experience your grace in such powerful ways that they might cast off all self-generated certainties and boast only of you; and that they may enjoy your refreshing restoration as they are drawn closer to you through your Son. O Lord, hear our prayer.

Please help this congregation as we seek to be faithful; especially as we gear up for our work in Carnegie. Continue to provide all the monies, mental agility and manpower, and grant that your work will prosper in our hands. Also, be pleased to aid us in promoting your honor and intensify our love for one another. O Lord, hear our prayer.

We remember before you those who need to repent of their sins and embrace your Son in genuine faith…. Have mercy and save them. O Lord, hear our prayer.

O Lord God, prosper our country, which we love so much, but do not prosper that which is evil or unjust. Strengthen all that is good and wholesome, but weaken and defeat what is dark and destructive. O Lord, hear our prayer.

We ask you to lead the nations of the world toward the things that make for real peace, and will allow for the peaceful progress of your Gospel throughout the lands. We continue to ask you to care for those suffering in Nepal, and bless with your compassion and protection the aid efforts going on there. O Lord, hear our prayer.


Finally, give renovated anticipations, refurbished aspirations and restored fitness – body, mind, heart and soul – to those who find they are in extreme distresses or exhausting difficulties…. O Lord, hear our prayer.

"Was America Founded as a Christian Nation?" (Rev. Ed.) by John Fea. A Review

Image
  John Fea is a professor of history at Messiah University in Mechanicsburg, PA. A university founded in 1909 by the Brethren in Christ Church. He originally published "Was America Founded as a Christian Nation? A Historical Introduction" in 2011, and it was revised in 2016. This 328-page paperback is packed full with Colonial and American history, drawing from original sources to answer that question. It is a book written "for the historically minded and thoughtful reader who is looking for help in sorting" out this question, avoiding polemics (xix). Since we live in a sound-bite culture, Fea recognizes that it is difficult to have a sustained dialogue on this topic, but he makes a valiant effort toward having that sustained dialogue. The book reads fairly straightforward, and doesn't seem to get bogged down in the contentious mudpuddles or bogs. In the end, Fea seems to get his point across. To answer the reigning question if America was founded as a Christian...

Union with Christ - An Application

Image
  (This was my weekly letter to my congregation on Wednesday, 21 February 2024) This morning in my devotional reading, I was working through 1 Corinthians 8. Though I’ve read these words a huge number of times over the years, today one verse caused me to stop and take stock.  Paul wrote, “ Thus, sinning against your brothers and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ ” (1 Corinthians 8:12). What struck me is a couple of things. First, in God’s saving work, we are – by grace alone – united (hitched, bonded, ingrafted) to Christ so much so, that what happens to us happens to him, and what is his becomes ours (think of Galatians 2:20, for example). As Sinclair Ferguson put it, “through union with Christ all that is his by incarnation becomes ours through faith” (“The Christian Life,” 110). Let that percolate in your heart for a while. Your fear, anxiety, tears, and so forth, he feels. And his “ Peace, be still ” is yours. Second, the way we treat one an...

"Ah, Lord! We are Animated by Anger and Anxiety, Fear and Fury..."

I hesitate to put this out there because of the combative environment we are in at present. But I think some souls will take courage from this, and some will also join with me as we get to the end of this little composition. I am struck by the words of God in Zechariah 8. As he rehearses the waywardness and faithlessness of his people in the past, he clearly declares that he " set every man against his neighbor " (8:10). That got me thinking long ago. I started putting the pieces together and realized that one of God's acts of judgment is division, setting a man against his neighbor. That's what happened when he divided his people into the northern tribes and southern tribes (see 1 Kings 11:26-40). Because of Solomon's turning aside, allowing his wives to turn his heart away from the God of his father, David, the Lord brings about a rift in God's people. And this pattern of divisive judgment runs throughout Scripture. On the other hand, truthful unity is the g...
