Revives the Spirit of the Humble - 28 March 2021

 


O LORD, you are the high and lofty One, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy. You dwell in the high and holy place with those who have a contrite and humble spirit, for you revive the spirit of the humble, and revive the heart of the contrite ones (Isaiah 57:15). In the name of Jesus Christ your Son we come humbly, and we pray for this world and the struggles and troubles of many nations. Please govern and bring restoration in the catastrophes brought on through nature and the tragedies brought on by means of human malice. Give aid to the distressed, relief to the weak, food, water and shelter to the waterless and weary, and justice to the victimized. Set the nations and their leaders on a course for peace and lawfulness for all their inhabitants. O Lord, hear our prayer. 

Dearest Father, we entreat your caring direction for our own country. We desire our leaders to be people of upright and godly forthrightness in their actions, legislations, judicial decisions and executive enforcements; defending the legitimate safety and welfare of all in our borders: the born, unborn and foreign born. We also long for all citizens and inhabitants of this nation to become morally and ethically fit and sound. May your kingdom come, and your will be done in the United States of America as it is in heaven. O Lord, hear our prayer. 

O Abba, Father, look upon our children growing up, and are making relationship decisions. Guide them, bestow on them humility, chastity, graciousness, and insight. Help them as they think of life-long spouses, and bring them to make wholesome, healthy choices. O Lord, hear our prayer. 

Tender Father, kindly lift up the faces and hearts of those who are hurting or struggling with various ailments, devastations, and misfortunes. We especially ask your providential and parental care for these (…). O Lord, hear our prayer. 

Loving Father, enrich, aid, steer, and supply what is needed for your Church throughout the world, and here. As your blessed Son before his passion prayed for his disciples that we might be one, as you and he are one, grant that your Church, being bound together in love, obedience and faith, may be united in one body by the one Spirit, so that the world may believe in your Son, Jesus Christ. 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...
