"Regard the Humble Prayers..." - 15 November 2026

 

O Lord Jesus Christ, who has generously given yourself for our sins to deliver us from this present evil age, to deliver us from the dominance of the devil, and to deliver us from the fearful bondage of death; as our great High Priest you regard the humble prayers of all who call upon you, who call upon you in truth. Incline your ear and hear.

Regard your Holy, Universal Church which you are sanctifying, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word; including this church, Promise Church, Solid Rock, Alethia Temple, and Christ Legacy Church. Rectify, O Lord, and have mercy upon all the ministers, pastors, elders, and overseers of your Church: aid us to shepherd the flock of God that is among us, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as you would have us do; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in our charge, but being examples to the flock (1 Peter 5:2-3). And keep your Church whole and harmonious: repair the rifts and rips in the churches and bring to nothing those unstable people who willingly twist the Scriptures to their own destruction (2 Peter 3:16).

Reclaim, O Lord, and have mercy upon those who have evil intent toward us, who seek to entrap and ensnare us, and who rail and rant against us (…). As well we pray for those who have pushed you away, all who are terribly mistaken and think they have no need of you, and those who are pioneering their own way (…). Change their minds and directions, and through Jesus Christ forgive them, and draw them and us to come together to worship, bow down, and kneel before the LORD our Maker (Psalm 95:6)!

Refresh, O Lord, and have mercy upon all loaded down with a weight of care, bowed down under disease or dread, doubled over with pain or panic (…). Also reorient and have mercy upon all who are afflicted mentally and emotionally, with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, paranoia, dementia, Alzheimer’s, depression, PTSD, suicidal ideations, dissociative disorders, and other infirmities (…). And replenish and have mercy upon all who find trouble brewing in their homes, or misfortunes in their families (…). Surround them with those who cherish them and can give them a hand to hold; provide them professionals and partners through whom you may bring substantial help, healing and hope. 

Rule over, O Lord, and have mercy upon all world leaders; upon all magistrates; and upon all the inhabitants of this land and all nations. Bring us, one and all, to speak the truth to one another; to render in our gates judgments that are true and make for peace; and to avoid and eschew the things you hate like devising evil in our hearts against others, and loving false oaths (Zechariah 8:16). And now we pray as Jesus taught us saying, Our Father…

O Lord, Who Knows... - 11 October 2026

  O Lord, who knows the thoughts and intentions of our hearts, we pray for the besieged and beleaguered peoples in our world, suffering from floods, droughts, hurricanes, unemployment, military threats, fears and pestilence. Please establish peace, justice, recovery and efficient economies in all lands, for the good of all, so that the Gospel of Jesus may spread unchecked, and that your Church may dwell securely in peace and quietness. Guide our own leaders in this country to throw off selfish programs, cut-throat tactics, and dastardly devices; and to put on what is truly legitimate and will promote evenhanded integrity. Give ear to our concerns as we pray for those who are in unbelief and for those who have deserted the Christian Faith (…). May they turn around and believe in your Son Jesus Christ and have everlasting life. And we pray for our enemies, some Islamic, others Marxist, a few rabid Secularists, and more. Oh Lord, lead them and us from prejudice to truth; and deliver t...

Worshiping Up to Our Theology

D.G. Hart has rightly observed that in worship, “ You cannot separate form and content ” (“Recovering Mother Kirk”, 200). His point should be clear, but just in case it’s not, then allow me to rephrase it this way: You will either worship up to your theology, or you will lower your theology to your worship. One way to understand this is in regard to our liturgical language. To put it in the ancient formula, lex orandi, lex credendi est : The language of prayer is the language of faith . If the language of our worship (songs, prayers, etc) is predominately pietistic, individualistic, therapeutic, revivalistic, charismatic, and self-absorbed, then no matter what our official stated theology (whether it‘s the 39 Articles of Religion, or the Westminster Confession of Faith), our lived theology will become pietistic, individualistic, therapeutic, revivalistic, charismatic, self-absorbed, and that then develops into the gauge by which our people evaluate a church, their life experiences, a...

Sacred Space 1

Temple or Meetinghouse? I’m thinking about space. Not really about “outer-space” with starships, x-wing fighters and all that (though sometimes my family and friends think I‘m a bit spacey), but worship space. As our congregation begins to plan and plot how to remodel and renovate our worship area (Nave and Sanctuary for you liturgy-Nazis), I am going to think out-loud here a bit. It seems to me that there are two major extremes with regard to worship space. On the one hand, there are those with a heavy sacerdotal bent who look on the worship area as something like the divinely instituted Temple. That’s tempting mainly because of the depth of reverence and awe that such a thing evokes. I once visited a Serbian Orthodox Church years ago. As I went through the doors I still remember being struck by a heart-pounding anticipation that came on me all of a suddenly, that I was entering into the august presence of God. There was something about the “otherness” of the Nave, the iconostasis...
