Inspiration & Devotionals :: Prince of Peace

Author: NewsFeeder Subject: Prince of Peace Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2007 5:00 am (GMT -4) The average cell phone user would likely now claim that life without one would be more than inconvenient. Upon its invention, we in a sense became untethered. We no longer get tangled up in phone cords while trying to make dinner, set the table, and finish a conversation with Uncle Joe. Nor do we need to dash home from work in order to make that important phone call; we make it on the way, while sitting in traffic, driving to the next appointment, making a stop at the grocery store, or all three. It is with great appreciation that I am no longer bound to a phone cord and operating with a five foot radius. Yet, this is not to say that I don't feel a tethering of a different sort, and I imagine I'm not alone. Owning a cell phone can foster the attitude that its owner is always available, always working, always obtainable. While there is no cord to which we are confined, the phone its...

Inspiration & Devotionals :: What’s “Good” About the Good News?
2007-12-06 10:00:00
Author: News Feeder Subject: What’s “Good ” About the Good News ?Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2007 5:00 am (GMT -4) One of the wonderful aspects of the Christmas season is the celebration of unique and sometimes quirky family "traditions" that make the season special for each one of us. In my family, we had several Christmas television specials that became part of our celebration ritual. One of my favorites was "A Charlie Brown Christmas." I loved the music that undergirded the animated characters and plot; I loved the fact that Charlie Brown finds the lowliest Christmas tree for the pageant, and I loved Linus's gentle, yet poignant reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. I'm sure we all remember his slow walk to the center of the stage with thumb in mouth and blanket trailing behind him. To this day, his recitation from the second chapter of Luke still gives me goose bumps. Tears of joy and beauty often fill my eyes as I hear his small, childlik...

Author: NewsFeeder Subject: Daily Manna from the Net for Thursday , December 6, 2007Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2007 5:00 am (GMT -4) Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, 'The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.' The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young. Let him sit alone in silence, for the LORD has laid it on him. Let him bury his face in the dust-- there may yet be hope. Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him, and let him be filled with disgrace. For men are not cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. Lamentations 3:22-32 NIV Listen (MP3) Read more... Source: Daily Manna from the Net [NIV] Daily Script...

Author: News Feeder Subject: Breakin g News Posted: Tue Dec 04, 2007 5:00 am (GMT -4) On October 30, 1938 a national radio program playing dance music was interrupted with a special news bulletin. The announcer heralded news of a massive meteor, which had crashed near Princeton, New Jersey. The reporter urged evacuation of the city as he anxiously described the unfolding scene: Strange creatures were emerging from the meteor armed with deadly rays and poisonous gases. The infamous broadcast, which caused panic throughout the country and mayhem all over New York and New Jersey, was made by Orson Welles, a 23-year old actor giving a dramatic presentation of the H.G. Wells novel The War of the Worlds. His compelling performance created traffic jams and tied up phone lines, interrupted religious services and altered bus routes. Several times in the program a statement was made regarding the broadcast's fictional nature. Still, many Americans were convinced that Martians ha...

For what son is not disciplined by his father? If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:7-11 NIV Listen (MP3) Read more...

Inspiration & Devotionals :: The Faces We Find
2007-12-01 10:00:00
Author: NewsFeeder Subject: The Faces We Find Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2007 5:00 am (GMT -4) I once prayed fervently, "Lord, show me who you are, so I can know you as Abba..." Today I wonder if the one who knows me better than I know myself responds by saying, "Let me show you who you are so that you might learn to see me as Abba." After all, as C.S. Lewis writes, "How can we see God until we have faces?" It strikes me that this is the question innately at hand in the process and crises of human development. As one theologian and developmental psychologist has noted, "It is evident that human development is not the answer to anything of ultimate significance. [But] every answer it does provide only pushes the issue deeper, back to the ultimate question, 'What is a lifetime?' and 'Why do I live it?'"(1) Working amidst the often miry course of human development, author Margaret Kornfeld speaks of the "mysteriou...

Inspiration & Devotionals :: Thanks-giving Treasure
2007-11-21 10:00:00
Author: NewsFeeder Subject: Thanks-giving Treasure Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2007 5:00 am (GMT -4) Over 200 years ago during the heart of the Methodist revival in England, John Wesley spoke fearfully about the movement's ability to sustain itself. Even as thousands and thousands were joining his ranks, he spoke prophetically about the inevitable decline and dissolution of this revival. What would prompt his despairing prediction in the throes of revival's raging fires? Wesley feared the danger of wealth and its expected increase as a result of his "Methodist" renewal. He wrote in his journal: "I fear, wherever riches have increased, the essence of religion has decreased in the same proportion. Therefore, I do not see how it is possible, in the nature of things, for any revival of religion to continue long. For religion must necessarily produce both industry and frugality, and these cannot but produce riches. But as riches increase, so will pride, anger and ...

Author: NewsFeeder Subject: Cres cendo of Thanksgiving Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2007 5:00 am (GMT -4) I can't give an exact date for my conversion. I can't describe the moment when I finally bowed and admitted God was God and Christ was Lord. This used to bother me--particularly when it was my turn to speak after going around a room of believers with specific dates and encounters to tell. I've since learned that conversion is more than one moment of waking--even for those who indeed have one moment that stands out among all others. But I've also come to love the diversity of means and ways God appears before a life--gently beckoning one to follow, pursuing over a lifetime the one lost or running, dramatically opening the eyes of another in an instant. The apostle Paul describes the converted one "like a letter from Christ... written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts" (2 Corinthi...

Inspiration & Devotionals :: On Earth as It Is in Heaven
2007-11-21 10:00:00
Author: NewsFeeder Subject: On Earth as It Is in Heaven Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2007 5:00 am (GMT -4) I don't know what it is as children that makes us readily picture God as seated high above us. From childhood, we seem to nurture pictures of heaven and all its wonderment as that which spatially exists "above," while we and all of our worries exist on earth "below." While this may simply illustrate our need for metaphors as we learn to relate to the world around us, there is also biblical imagery that seems to attest the portrayal. Depicting the God who exists beyond all we know, the Scripture writers describe the divine throne as "high and lofty," the name of the LORD as existing above all names. Yet even metaphors can be misleading when they cease to point beyond themselves. Though the Scriptures use the language and imagery of loftiness, they also attest that God's existence is far more than something "above" us. Author Steven ...

Inspiration & Devotionals :: The Apologetic of Being a Neighbor
2007-10-28 09:00:00
Author: NewsFeeder Subject: The Apologetic of Being a NeighborPosted: Sun Oct 28, 2007 4:00 am (GMT -4) For the apostle Paul, faith is absolutely useless if Christ has not been raised. He saw the resurrection not only as an event for which there was evidence, but an event for which there was theological need. The resurrection literally put flesh on the events of God in history, our state of justification, our assurance of victory over death. There is consequently a fleshiness to the faith we profess. The glory of God among us has a Body, and it is within this flesh, this bodily reality, that the body of Christ on earth finds its identity. In Corrie ten Boom's The Hiding Place, the autobiographical account of the family who provided refuge during the Nazi persecution of Jews across Europe, this identity was both living and active. In the words of Mr. ten Boom, "The master of this house demands that we open the door to anyone that knocks." Fittingly, he was r...

True daughter of affliction, she, inured to pain and misery... The Father then revealed his Son; him in the broken bread made known; She knew and felt her sins forgiven, and found the earnest of her heaven. Susanna Wesley was a woman her husband called "the best of mothers."

Author: NewsFeeder Subject: The Right Questions Posted: Tue Oct 09, 2007 4:00 am (GMT -4) The Right Questions Jill Carattini Like many Generation Xers, I have spent a great deal of my life asking questions. In retrospect, it seems that more than a few of my plaguing inquires were probably the wrong inquiries. In fact, more than a few of my questions were probably even unanswerable. But it took me a while to be able to admit such distinctions even existed. When you are a child and inquiry is your way of gaining a handle on the world around you, you come to believe that every question is right, and every inquiry deserves an answer that satisfies. Later, when social pressure begins to stress conformity and asking questions carries the risk of embarrassment, we learn to repress our inquisitiveness, even as those who still see the value in inquiring minds offer the ready assurance, "There are no wrong questions!" And this may be true, particularly in a classroom. But...

If that name does not mean much to you, you are not alone. It does not seem to have meant much to anyone else except, perhaps, him who bore it. In fact it was not even his name. His real name was Vincenzo Riccardi, and nobody seemed to get it right after the sensational discovery of his mummified body in Southampton, New York. He had been dead for 13 months, but his television was still on, and his body was propped up in a chair in front of it.(1) The television was his only companion, and though it had much to tell him, it did not care whether he lived or died. Riccardi's story raises many unsettling questions. How can a human being vanish for over a year and not be missed by anyone? Where was his family? What about his relatives?

The negative connotation of the expression is usually clear. Few would own up to having such boxes, though it seems we readily admit they exist. We are similarly encouraged from elementary school onward to think "outside the box." While this expression encourages thinking beyond the norm or moving away from the rigid lines of expectation, the former accuses thinkers of getting stuck inside them. I'm not sure where either expression originated, but the image evoked makes sense. Someone saw a common occurrence in learning and described it metaphorically; a clever (albeit perhaps overused) expression ensued. In fact, it is actually quite natural to draw lines around what we know, things we learn, ideas ...

As I revisited this story recently, I noticed that Jesus calls Zaccheus a "son of Abraham," and I was struck by how discordant this title would have seemed to all who heard it. Abraham, the great patriarch of Israel was called by God to leave his homeland and follow God into a land that God would show him. Scripture tells us that "Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness" (Genesis 15:6). How then could Jesus count a scheming, conniving, tax-collecting swindler as a "son of Abraham"? What was the great demonstration of faith by this much-hated man that would prompt Jesus's commendation? But as we examine the details of the story, we begin to g...

2007-09-28 10:00:00
Author: NewsFeeder Subject: Faith Is a WayPosted: Fri Sep 28, 2007 4:00 am (GMT -4) The history of Israelites is a powerful lesson of all that can happen on the spiritual journey. We see the glory of the great deliverance in the Exodus, the giving of the tabernacle and the Law in the wilderness. The people were formed by God and called to serve. They entered the land and conquered it in order to obtain the promise. But, as we know, all did not go well. They did not follow the Lord fully or faithfully. They formed alliances with the local people and steadily adopted foreign customs, ways, and worst of all, foreign gods. In the history of the people of Israel, we see the pendulum swing back and forth from faithfulness to rampant rejection of God. The last verse of the book of Judges captures the situation and the mood of one stage in their history: "In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit" (21:25).

Whatever a scientific study can say about prayer, it usually says more about the formula we're try to measure and very little about the God before whom the prayerful stand. Likewise, there are many things that can be said about healthy societies and the impact of religion, but it was Jesus who perhaps said it best: "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick" (Luke 5:31).
