Congregational Prayer - 25 January 2015


Almighty God, whose eyes run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show yourself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are loyal to you (2 Chronicles 16.9), we pray for this world and your church.

We call upon you to relieve the fear, sooth the pain, and settle the trouble of those who need physical, monetary, mental, and relational healing...restore them, remove any gloom or anxiety, filling them with your unsurpassable peace to guard their hearts and minds IN Christ Jesus, and give them solid reasons to have hope in You when they feel all wrung out and thoroughly used up. O Lord, hear our prayer.

 Please shield, keep safe and brave our U.S. Military people, restore them to their families unharmed. O Lord, hear our prayer.

 Lord God, Maker, Sustainer and Governor of all things: we implore you to mercifully shower us with the rains and precipitation we need in this area. Thank you for what you have provided us, and grant us enough to hedge off this extended drought. O Lord, hear our prayer.

 We ask you to look upon our country and its new leadership, maintain our liberties, and guide us all (from the White House to our house) along the path of your truth and righteousness. Also, for the nations of our world, we ask you to turn away the violence, oppression and evil and advance that which is best and most fair for the good of your Church and wellbeing of all. O Lord, hear our prayer.

 O our God, we pray for your Church in all places, especially Progressive Baptist Church; Prospect Missionary Baptist; Rancho Village Baptist; Redeemed Missionary Baptist; and Rising Star Baptist Church: For those claiming to be yours, but who have embraced error in creed or deed, lead them into all truth by your Holy Word and Holy Spirit. For those who are towing the line of fidelity in Christ’s cause, supply all of their needs, encourage them, and preserve them from the evil one. O Lord, hear our prayer.

 We pray for this congregation: be pleased to assist us in glorifying and enjoying you, and in profitably expanding the borders of your dominion and add to our number such as are being saved. Incline our hearts toward your testimonies and not toward covetousness. Turn away our eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive us in your way (Ps. 119.36-37).  O Lord, hear our prayer.
Finally, we implore your grace to convert those who have never believed in your Son and please restore those who have strayed away from you… O Lord, hear our prayer.

“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
