"None Holy Like the LORD" - 10 January 2021

 


“There is none holy like the LORD: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God” (1 Samuel 2:2). We offer up to you our thanksgiving for all your generosity to us (…).

We pray for your churches throughout the nations, including these in OKC:  Calvin Presbyterian Church, Chisolm Trail Presbyterian, Covenant Presbyterian, Grace Presbyterian church. Be pleased to give them all the resources they need to serve you properly and well, and the heart they need to serve you with sincerity. Guide them in the ways of your truth and righteousness that they may show themselves your own people in earnestness and truth. And deliver our brothers and sisters who are being hounded and harmed for the Faith that they may serve you in peace and joy. “There is none holy like the LORD: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.”

Please help us in this congregation, O Lord, that our families may be filled with godliness and holiness. May those who are single remain chaste and consecrated in their singleness and the married be charitable, gracious, and faithful. Strengthen the pregnant mothers and the children they carry, making this a healthy pregnancy and a good birth. Give all parents encouragement, energy, ingenuity, and insight in raising their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. May these children love you with all their hearts, souls and minds, and their neighbors as themselves. And may the aged live out their remaining days in the joy and peace of your Holy Spirit. “There is none holy like the LORD: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.”

We remember before you those who need to repent of their sins and embrace your Son in genuine faith (…). “There is none holy like the LORD: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.”

O Lord God, you have blessed us with civil government to restrain evil and promote justice. We ask you to take our governmental authorities in hand and turn their hearts and deliberations in ways that will be truly good for our country and State. And guide the nations and leaders of the earth so that all peoples, especially your Church, may be safe and secure. “There is none holy like the LORD: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.”

Finally, give renewed hope and restored health to those who find they are in dire straits, dog-tired or done in and done for (…). “There is none holy like the LORD: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.”

We ask all of this in Jesus’ name, for your glory and for our good, as we pray together what Jesus taught us, saying; 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.

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

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 another, is
