"O LORD, You Made Heaven and Earth..." - 10 March 2024

 

O LORD, you made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them; you keep truth forever and execute justice for the oppressed. You give food to the hungry and freedom to the prisoners; you open the eyes of the blind and raise those who are bowed down; you watch over the strangers and relieve the fatherless and widow (Psalm 146).  It is to you we come!

O LORD, you made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them, we pray for your whole Church on earth, including Solid Rock Christian Center, Alethia Temple, Christ Legacy Church, and Community Lighthouse Church. Fill her with all truth, in all truth with all peace. Where she is corrupt, purify her; where she is in error, direct her; where in anything she is amiss, reform her. Where she is right, strengthen her; where she is in need, provide for her; where she is divided, reunite her; for the sake of Jesus Christ your Son our Savior. The LORD shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

O LORD, you made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them, grant unto us, your children, that by your enlightenment our minds may savor and dwell on what is true and good, and under your merciful protection, may do what is upright, and be filled with joyfulness, peace, and hope. The LORD shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

 O LORD, you made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them, we pray for these (…). We ask you to restore them body and soul in Jesus Christ, give them your relief and comfort, and grant them noteworthy reasons to take heart. The LORD shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

O LORD, you made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them, we remember those in the military, fire department, EMSA, sheriff’s department, and the local police department. Give them protection from their enemies and life-threatening situations, wisdom in difficult situations, and good leaders. The LORD shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

O LORD, you made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them, take notice of the nations of the world. Tyranny, violence, slaughter, hunger, machinations, and intrigues abound. Give peace, O God, give peace in our time that all may dwell securely and successfully in their land and your Church be protected. The LORD shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD! 

O LORD, you made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them, hear us for our own beloved country. Rid our nation of unbelief and every godless custom; increase the number of those who are not ashamed to confess Christ with integrity of life and talk, who are not afraid to follow his way, that brotherly kindness and civility may abound, and that righteousness would flow from our homes and down our streets like a mighty river. The LORD shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD! We ask all this and more in Jesus’ name.  And now we join all of our requests together to pray as we have been taught: Our Father…

“The Shift” - 2023 Movie. A Review

Image
  What do you get when you cross a dark dystopian storyline with sci-fi, alternative dimensions, theological and philosophical questions, and the biblical book of Job? You get The Shift , written and directed by Brock Heasley, produced by Ken Carpenter, and distributed by Angel Studios. This roughly one hour and 45 minute tale swirls around Kevin (Kristoffer Polaha) as he moves from one realm of life, with it’s happiness and heartbreak, to another dimension that is a dismal existence clearly governed by The Benefactor (masterfully played by Neal McDonough). A viewer will be asking questions all the way through, and picking up clues and answers that pull the story together bit-by-bit. The story bumps up against an infinite set of alternative possibilities, of time, space, and versions of one’s self that will likely stoke a viewer’s imagination. But the heart of the narrative - besides love, grief, loss, trust/distrust - is around the place of evil, specifically, personal or human evil.

"On Getting Out of Bed" by Alan Noble. A Review

Image
  When it comes to family members or friends going through a significant mental crisis, or suffering, we often can feel like we’re fumbling about to help them. Sometimes, we can become like Job’s friends, whom he had to call “miserable comforters” (Job 16:2). But very recently Alan Noble, assistant professor of English at Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee Oklahoma, and cofounder and editor-in-chief of “Christ and Pop Culture” penned a deeply beautiful 120-page hardback that addresses mental affliction. “On Getting Out of Bed: The Burden and Gift of Living” is written for those who struggle with mental affliction, but also pastors, teachers, parents, and loved ones, to “help them understand their loved one’s suffering. It is for anyone who ever struggles to get out of bed” (3). I finished this book earlier this week, and kept finding myself saying, “Finally! Someone gets it!” Eight chapters fill up this handy manual. They run through several subjects, like not sounding like Job’s f

Community?

Image
  (This is from my letter to my congregation I sent out today, 30 August 2023) As one of my elders was leading us through Carl Trueman’s Strange New World in our adult class , I appreciated Trueman’s emphasis on community. And our discussions, especially the last two Sundays, were very fruitful as we thought out loud together about this subject. Therefore, I thought I would share something from David Brooks, an Op-ed columnist that leans into this discussion.   Brooks published a book in 2019 titled, “The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life”. In that work he was taking a gentle punch at destructive trends he has been seeing, and giving some helpful correctives. And so, he notes that “Individualism, taken too far, leads to tribalism” (34). He then shows how the loneliness and spiritual emptiness of individualism taken too far have become more prevalent in our time and the ways that they lead to very dark social consequences. These darker social consequences foster the need t
