Pastor Jeff Cranston continues his conversation with Pastor Jason of Crossway Church as they dive deeper into what makes the Christian and Missionary Alliance denomination distinct. They explore how the Alliance approaches communion and baptism, what a typical Sunday service looks like, and how its leadership structure supports both local autonomy and global mission.

Pastor Jeff Cranston is back! And sitting down with Pastor Jason Esposito of Crossway Church (a CMA congregation in Wisconsin) to discuss he heart behind the Christian and Missionary Alliance denomination. Founded by A.B. Simpson in the late 19th century, the CMA began not as a denomination but as a missions movement focused on bringing the gospel to the world. Pastor Jason unpacks the Fourfold Gospel (Jesus as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King) as well as the CMA's global reach, spiritual emphasis, and governance model.

So many thoughts pass through our minds in a day, but for most of us, few of them have much to do with what God has suggested we think about. What might happen if we could change our perspective? May this podcast by host Julie Harwick bless you!  *** Welcome to Women World Leaders podcast. I'm your host, Julie Harwick. Thank you for joining me today as we celebrate God's grace in our lives, in this ministry and around the world. Sylvester Foster Porter was the pastor of the small Christian and Missionary Alliance church we attended during my junior high years. In his early 70's, he and his wife, Helen, were recently retired from being missionaries to the Philippines. They were old school. She played the organ and I never saw her wear anything but a dress, pantyhose and low-heeled pumps – never!  He preached through the bible, verse by verse, taking more than two years to get through Revelation. He had several mannerisms that always brought inappropriate giggling from my best friend and me.  Mostly bald, he had only a ring of white hair on the sides and back of his head, but it was full and thick.  He had a habit of saying, “Oh Beloved,” when he wanted to emphasize something while he clapped his hands to each side of his head, making the hair he had instantly disappear.  Seeing him go completely bald just like that always got us going.  Whenever he referred to his youth, he'd say, “when I was young and red-headed…”  Although I knew he was referring to the color of his hair, I always got a mental image of a small boy with not only red hair, but an entirely red head from the neck up.  We were probably 11 at the time, so we were very easily amused. Helen had a common phrase she was known for as well.  I can still see her shaking her curly white head and saying to other women of the church, “he's so heavenly minded, he's no earthly good!”  I didn't really understand what that meant, but the other ladies would nod and laugh, so I filed it away as something I'd figure out when I was older. As I've thought about her odd comment over the years, I think I know what she meant, but I don't believe it's actually possible. Pastor Porter clearly loved the Lord.  He loved to study God's Word, meditate on it and share it with others.  I suspect that when it was time for household chores or to listen to her plans for the day, he was often distracted by the many spiritual questions he was pondering. I'm sure she often found that annoying, but on the other hand, I know many women who would give anything to see their husbands occupied with thoughts of God and His truths. Is it possible to be so heavenly minded, that you're no earthly good?  Colossians 3:12 tells us, “Set your mind on things above, not on the things that are on earth.”  That seems like a pretty clear directive and confirmation that Pastor Porter's mind was exactly where it needed to be.  Although Helen Porter was the only person I ever heard use the phrase, “so heavenly minded, he's no earthly good,” it was a common notion – at least during the life of Christian author C. S. Lewis. In referencing this popular saying, he strongly disagreed. “On the contrary, most of us are so earthly minded that we are of no heavenly or earthly good. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this one.” We are so easily distracted by things that seem to demand our immediate attention.  We have jobs, household chores, families to manage, appointments to keep, friends who need us…the list goes on.  And add to that Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, our favorite tv shows, movies and sports teams.  With all of our obligations, we deserve a little me time, don't we?  There are so many demands on our time and energy, swirling around us like an ever-strengthening whirlpool, threatening to consume us. How could we possibly find time to focus on heaven and things we can barely begin to comprehend? And yet, these are the very things that scripture commands us to think on. We're given a list of them in Philippians 4:8.  “Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right and pure and lovely and admirable.  Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”  There aren't a lot of things on this earth that meet that criteria, so it sounds more like a description of someone who is heavenly minded. Jesus Himself was certainly heavenly minded. He talked about it 70 times in the book of Matthew alone.  54 of the 66 books in the bible refer to heaven.  It's interesting to note that the bible begins and ends with references to heaven. Genesis 1:1 opens with, “in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”  The final chapter of Revelation says, “He showed me the great city, descending out of heaven from God.”  Heaven was one of the last things Jesus talked about with His disciples the night he was arrested. In John chapter 14 we read, “In my Father's house there are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.”  Those words were intended to bring comfort to the disciples who were about to face the most devastating 24 hours of their lives.  They were also meant to bring comfort and curiosity to us. As children, most of us did have quite a lot of curiosity about heaven.  We asked a lot of questions and our parents did their best to answer.  A very common question upon the death of a beloved pet is always, “do animals go to heaven?” As a child, I always thought of heaven as having everything I loved and nothing I didn't, but as time went by, I thought of it less and less.  I heard all the jokes about people who arrived at the pearly gates to be questioned by St. Peter and I saw movies like “What Dreams May Come,” that portrayed heaven as an unknowable, ethereal place as well as cartoons of people sitting on clouds, playing harps for all eternity.  None of that made me eager to go there. I believe that one of Satan's most brilliant moves was to convince our popular culture that heaven is incredibly boring, filled with a bunch of “goody two-shoes, sitting on clouds in white robes, looking like angels.  Conversely, many people believe that hell is filled with people who liked to have fun on earth and are continuing the party in hell.  It's a little warm down there, but it doesn't spoil the fun.  Unfortunately, in the case of hell, nothing could be further from the truth.  And fortunately, that's also true of that diabolical view of heaven. My impressions of heaven changed dramatically when I discovered author Randy Alcorn. He's written numerous Christian fiction novels that have quite a bit of the story taking place in heaven.  I was surprised and delighted at the way he portrayed it. The people who had acknowledged their sinful nature and received God's gift of salvation through Jesus Christ did participate in awesome, extended worship services standing around the throne, but they did so many other things as well.  They spent one on one time with Jesus, having their eyes opened to the way He was working in their lives when they couldn't understand what was happening to them.  They had work to do.  Satisfying, fulfilling work that they enjoyed.  They had their own private spaces, that God had designed specifically for them that included everything they had loved on earth as well as things they had never imagined.  They were able to spend time with loved ones who had gone before them as well as ancestors they had never known and learn how they had been observed at times and prayed for through various trials.  The author makes it clear that he is using his imagination in conjunction with what scripture does tell us about heaven and about God's character.  He doesn't claim that his version of heaven is more accurate than anyone else's, but he encourages readers to spend time thinking and imagining with him.  He's also written a non-fiction book called, “Heaven,” which I highly recommend.  It's presented in a question and answer format and he does his best to give the logic as well as the faith behind his answers.  It's not the sort of book you read straight through, because it's deep and challenging, but it's a great reference source for specific questions and will encourage you to spend more time thinking and imagining what heaven will be. That's exactly what I believe Paul intended when he wrote, “Set your mind on things above, not on things of the earth.”  The days we spend on this earth are a miniscule fraction on the eternal timeline.  And yet, we often live as if this is all there is, consumed by the cares of this world and oblivious to the next, where we will spend eternity. And I know, even trying to comprehend the concept of eternity blows our minds.  We are such time-oriented beings, the absence of it is really beyond our comprehension.  But God created humans to consider things that are beyond their comprehension – that is how we learn and grow and advance.  And no doubt, that is why He challenges us to meditate on things that are above and even beyond our comprehension.  That will cause us to learn and grow in our knowledge and appreciation of Him and His creation.  It will cause us to advance in our spiritual walk with Him and prepare us for an eternity in His presence.

I LOVED this discussion. We are blessed to have Steve Croyle as our worship director at church. He is truly someone who influences me in my walk with the Lord. I love hearing his thoughts and musings on God's character and this episode is not short on either. I knew it would be a great discussion and I was right! Steve is a learner of Jesus Christ, husband to Andrea, father to Elijah and Elise, and pastor of worship and adult discipleship to the congregation at Mountain View Community Church in Snohomish, WA. He worked as a recording artist in the Christian music industry with the band FFH in the late 90's before moving from Nashville, TN back to his rural hometown area of Huntingdon, PA, where he worked as director of youth ministries for about 14 years, the latter 12 of which were at Huntingdon Christian and Missionary Alliance. In 2014, he and his family, with their tetherball-loving rat terrier named Maestro, headed west to grow and serve alongside the wonderful community of people at MVCC. Steve is an introverted internal processor and an avid cyclist, enjoying the headspace afforded by many hours alone in the saddle. We talked so much about introvert vs. extrovert and how we each worship and live life with Jesus in different ways. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Steve's email is steve@mvccweb.org if you want to drop him a line.

His gratitude is founded in the gift of Jesus and the Gospel, the joy of being married to Kristin, and being the proud father of three girls; Eden, Esther, and Mercy.After growing up Jewish and experiencing life in a broken home, Zach met Jesus through the witness and courage of his friends and their families who loved Jesus boldly around him. Since meeting Jesus, Zach has had the joy of planting churches, traveling the world as a missionary, investing in leaders, ministering on college campuses, and pastoring in the local church. His passion is to help identify and develop emerging leaders for future Kingdom impact and has recently done that as a part of Envision, a ministry of the Christian & Missionary Alliance. Zach's latest adventure with Jesus was catalyzed by his participation in a unique outpouring of God's Spirit at Asbury University in February, 2023 which has catalyzed traveling to universities and communities around the world to testify and spur on hunger and pursuit of God's mission through humility, awakening, and renewal. Zach currently lives in Lexington, KY with his wife and girls and is excited to continue to watch and participate in what God is doing around the world.

Acts 20:17-28 :: Kent Sovine (MidAmerica District Superintendent, The Christian and Missionary Alliance) | 01-14-24 :: Sunday Gathering

Why Daniel? 1 Maccabees 1:41-61 & Zechariah 8:1-8, 20-23 by William Klock The world is not what it once was.  My great-grandmother—the only one of my great-grandmothers I ever knew— was born in 1896.  When she died in 1993, I remember everyone talking about how much the world had changed in her lifetime and how she'd seen it all.  She was the daughter of Portuguese immigrants from the Azores, one of thirteen children in a close-knit family.  She grew up in Mission San Jose, a little town on the east side of San Francisco Bay.  It was centred on a church established by Father Junípero Serra, the 18th Century Franciscan missionary.  It was the Catholic California version of one of those New England Puritan towns centred on a white, clapboard Congregational church.  She could remember the days when no one had ever seen an automobile.  And she'd seen Neil Armstrong put that first human foot on the moon.  The Christmas I finally got the Atari 2600 I'd been begging for, she sat patiently and played Pac-Man with me, this woman who had grown up in a world not only without television, but even radios.  Hers was a lifetime of change.  It happened so fast.  From kerosene lamps to computers, from horse-drawn buggies to space shuttles, all in one lifetime. Everyone talked about that century of progress in technological terms.  I don't remember anyone talking about my great-grandmother having also seen the century of regress that happened simultaneously in religious, spiritual, and philosophical terms.  My grandmother had seen church attendance peak in the 1950s and then slowly decline.  The church that had once been the centre of the community in which she grew up is now little more than a tourist attraction.  She saw the decline of the family, the rise the “me” generation, and the sexual revolution.  She didn't have the education that would have given her the philosophical language to describe those changes, but she knew them and felt them in her bones—and her bones ached terribly.  She knew sacrifice.  Her mother died when she was ten years old.  She dropped out of school after the fifth grade to take care of her family, doing most of the cooking and baking and housekeeping for her father and twelve brothers and sisters.  She knew what it meant to be part of and committed to a family and a community, to give and to sacrifice for the sake of others, and she couldn't help but notice as her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and their (our) generations became focused on ourselves, on consumption, on materialism, unwilling to give, unable to comprehend the life she knew growing up.  Even though these things weren't what people were talking about, these were far more significant, far more profound changes that took place during the Twentieth Century—far more important than telephones and TVs and airplanes and computers. As a people we've adapted pretty readily from buggies to cars, from trains to aeroplanes, from telegraphs to texting.  It's not to say technology hasn't introduced its own problems.  But the other changes: the spiritual, the religious, the philosophical?  That's another story.  And as much as the sexual revolution and the rise of rabid individualism were shocking and disorienting in a broad cultural sense for my great grandmother, the continuing spread and evolution of those same social, spiritual, and philosophical trends—and not least their acceleration—leaves most of us, I think, feeling like someone's pulled the rug out from under us. The pace of all this change spiritual and philosophical change is staggering.  The folks who promote all these changes like to pretend that nothing's changed, but the rest of us are left breathless, troubled, even with anxiety about where things are headed and what it will mean for us.  There's a cartoon where a Leftist, Progressive, Liberal man accusingly asks a traditionalist: “Who radicalised you?”  And the traditionalist leans in and says: “No one.  I'm just a normal person from five years ago.”  I think every one of us here can identify with that.  Just a few years ago the idea of people telling you their “pronouns” and expecting you to seriously play along was absurd.  Just a few years ago, most people would think you were crazy if you said that one day the City of Courtenay would be flying a rainbow “pride” flag from city hall and painting rainbow crosswalks downtown.  Just a few years ago, to look at the world and sort everyone into classes of “oppressor” and “oppressed”, to judge everyone on the basis of power and privilege or the lack thereof, that was the purview of a handful of Marxist academics.  And now, if you don't support these things, people ask, “Who radicalised you?”  “Why can't you get with the programme?”  Or they “cancel” you—something else we'd never heard of until a few short years ago.  If only we had the confidence to stand firm and respond like the man in the cartoon: “I'm just a normal person from five years ago.  You're the ones who have lost your minds.”  Instead, we often feel as if we've been thrown into deep, murky water and are struggling to stay afloat while our feet scramble to find something solid on which to stand. And speaking of something solid on which to stand, where is the Church in all of this?  We're increasingly side-lined.  Our part of the world has always been the least-churched part of Christendom.  I like to think that there's something providential in that—that God has us right where he wants us to teach us and to prepare us for the days ahead.  (This is, after all, why I think we need to study Daniel.)  Christianity has, at least in the eyes of the world out there, become pretty much irrelevant.  When I meet people in our community and talk to them about what I do, I realise that even a lot of older people, have no idea what we're about.  They have as much idea of what goes on in a church as I have what goes on in the Legion Hall or the Masonic Lodge.  And they have as much interest in what goes on here as I have interest in the Legion or the Masons.  I've talked to people who don't recognise a clerical collar, who don't know what a pastor is, who know nothing about the Bible, and—one woman I talked to a few years ago—who thinks Jesus was a nice man who lived “a couple hundred years ago” and was “riffing off Buddha”.  The Dutch missiologist Stephan Paas describes this attitude towards the Church as “apatheism”.  Most people aren't hostile towards us.  They just don't care.  They think we're quaint and maybe a little weird and that's about it. But when the Church does stand up for something: for the gospel, for Jesus, for right and wrong, for truth—when we do make ourselves heard.  When we openly challenge the gods and kings of the pagans.  Well, then we're in trouble.  People get angry and nasty.  And there are people in the church who will jump overboard lest any of the anger or nastiness fall on them, lest people “out there” think less of them or call them haters or bigots for refusing to go along with this rapid-onset cultural insanity.  And so we end up sidelined even more and to communicate with the world around us becomes an even more uphill battle than it was before.  Like the Christians in the First and Second Centuries who were falsely accused of being atheists (because they worshipped only one god, which was as good as worshiping no god in the Greco-Roman world); who were accused of incest (because they called each other Brother and Sisters); who were accused of cannibalism (because they ate the body and drank the blood of the Lord); who were accused of being politically disruptive troublemakers (because they refused to worship Caesar).  The accusations today are a little different: we're “haters” because we insist that sin is sin and truth is truth; we're “bigots” because we believe that Jesus, crucified and risen, is the only way to the Father; and we're patriarchal, sexist, misogynists, because we talk of God as Father and Jesus as Son and believe that God created men and women to be different, but complimentary. And it's even more troubling—like the rug being pulled out again—when fellow Christians give in and capitulate to this increasingly anti-Christian culture.  For most of my life, the division between the liberal Mainline churches and orthodox Evangelical churches has been in the past.  As Evangelicals we've watched those churches that capitulated to the culture a hundred years ago become less and less relevant as they've dwindled down to almost nothing.  And we've thought the church was done with those sorts of mistakes—with capitulating to the demands of the culture to get by or to become socially acceptable.  You cannot worship Yahweh and Zeus at the same altar—not and keep your soul.  Our generation (yours and mine) not only recognised that move as a betrayal of Jesus and the gospel, but also that it didn't work.  And yet a new generation is trying it all over again.  My own seminary, a bastion of Evangelicalism when I went there, seems now to be turning out pastors who are reshaping the church and the gospel in light of those Neo-Marxist categories of oppressor and oppressed, of privileged and unprivileged; and embracing expressive individualism and all that means in terms of identity politics and postmodern sexual ethics and ideas of sexual identity.  I'm part of an alumni group on Facebook.  If you dare to say the things the seminary upheld thirty years ago, you'll be woke-scolded and shut down in that infuriatingly post-modern passive aggressive way we're all starting to know so well.  They sound remarkably—and creepily—like the Director of N.I.C.E. in C. S. Lewis' That Hideous Strength.  I listen to the sermons of some of those younger alumni and hear pastors who are leading their congregations in the process of “Deconstruction”, promoting a false gospel having more to do with Marx than with Jesus, and even defending sexual immorality.  Many of us here were forced out of the mainline Anglican churches as they followed a similar path decades ago, but now once strongly Evangelical denominations like the Christian and Missionary Alliance, the Mennonites, and the Canadian Baptists are spiralling that same drain—and their pastors, even as the go down the drain into apostasy and irrelevance, they're rebuking and scolding those of us who are holding to the Bible with everything we've got, our solid rock in the midst of this raging sea.  Even our own Anglican Church in North America hasn't been immune.  Barely a decade after our founding, having experienced all this wickedness, and we're already having to confront a young generation who, with no personal experience of our old struggles, is ready to run straight back into that old folly. What do we do?  The world is largely ambivalent to our message.  (I hand-delivered over a hundred invitations to Christianity Explored a few years ago to our neighbourhood and not a single person followed up, let alone showed up.)  And when we do speak up, when we do make ourselves noticeable, we're shouted down, falsely accused of all sorts of things, and sent to go sit in the corner like bad children—and sometimes that's exactly what we end up doing, because we don't know what else to do.  So what do we do? Brothers and Sisters, we're not the first believers to face this, although after two thousand years of Christendom, it certainly feels like we're the first.  And after two thousand years of Christendom, I think we're struggling with how to respond to our world and with what to do.  Do we defend ourselves from the false accusations or do we go and sit in the corner?  How do we proclaim the good news when people are predisposed to dismiss it?  What do we do when our traditional methods of evangelism no longer work?  What do we do when the world pressures us to go along to get along?  And, I think the most important question of all, where is the Lord in all of this?  Brothers and Sisters, again, we're not the first. We could look back to the letters John wrote in the book of Revelation to the churches in Asia Minor—letters exhorting them to stand firm in faith, on Jesus and the gospel, because a storm of persecution was coming.  We looked at those letters two years ago.  Let's look at another time of trouble for God's people that most of us probably aren't nearly so familiar with.  The books of First and Second Maccabees in the Apocrypha tell the story of Judah about 160 years before Jesus was born—in the time between the testaments.  The Jews had returned from the Babylonian exile, rebuilt Jerusalem and the temple, but still lived under Persian Rule.  The Greek conqueror, Alexander the Great, defeated the Persians in 331 BC and Judah became part of his empire.  Alexander, however, didn't live very long and his generals divvied up his empire and then they and their descendants fought with each other for two-and-a-half centuries.  Poor Judah ended up caught in the middle of that.  Those Greek kings, for the most part, left Judah alone.  She had a special status as sort of a temple state, ruled by the high priest.  But things slowly went downhill.  The priesthood was bought and sold by corrupt men.  A lot of Jews gradually adopted the pagan ways and ideas of the Greeks and became less and less faithful to the torah.  But things really went bad for Judah under a king named Antiochus IV.  People called him “Epiphanies”—just like our current season of the church year—because he believed he was Zeus manifest (epiphany) in the flesh.  Antiochus was at war with Egypt and he wanted Judah to know that she belonged to him, not to the Egyptians.  He also wanted to get his hands on the temple treasury to fund his war efforts.  So Antiochus pillaged the temple, desecrated it with an altar of Zeus, and actively suppressed their Jewish way of life—their ability to live by the torah—and tried to turn them into good Greeks.  Here's how the author of First Maccabees tells it.  Listen and see if any of this sounds uncomfortably familiar.   Then the king wrote to his whole kingdom that all should be one people, and that all should give up their particular customs. All the Gentiles accepted the command of the king. Many even from Israel gladly adopted his religion; they sacrificed to idols and profaned the sabbath. And the king sent letters by messengers to Jerusalem and the towns of Judah; he directed them to follow customs strange to the land, to forbid burnt offerings and sacrifices and drink offerings in the sanctuary, to profane sabbaths and festivals, to defile the sanctuary and the priests, to build altars and sacred precincts and shrines for idols, to sacrifice swine and other unclean animals, and to leave their sons uncircumcised. They were to make themselves abominable by everything unclean and profane, so that they would forget the law and change all the ordinances. He added, “And whoever does not obey the command of the king shall die.”     In such words he wrote to his whole kingdom. He appointed inspectors over all the people and commanded the towns of Judah to offer sacrifice, town by town. Many of the people, everyone who forsook the law, joined them, and they did evil in the land; they drove Israel into hiding in every place of refuge they had.     Now on the fifteenth day of Chislev, in the one hundred forty-fifth year, they erected a desolating sacrilege on the altar of burnt offering. They also built altars in the surrounding towns of Judah, and offered incense at the doors of the houses and in the streets. The books of the law that they found they tore to pieces and burned with fire. Anyone found possessing the book of the covenant, or anyone who adhered to the law, was condemned to death by decree of the king. They kept using violence against Israel, against those who were found month after month in the towns. On the twenty-fifth day of the month they offered sacrifice on the altar that was on top of the altar of burnt offering. According to the decree, they put to death the women who had their children circumcised, and their families and those who circumcised them; and they hung the infants from their mothers' necks.  (1 Maccabees 1:41-61) Immense pressure was put on the people to conform.  Many of their leaders were in on it.  Many, feeling the pressure and fearing men rather than God, capitulated.  But not everyone. But many in Israel stood firm and were resolved in their hearts not to eat unclean food. They chose to die rather than to be defiled by food or to profane the holy covenant; and they did die. Very great wrath came upon Israel.   In the midst of that nightmare of persecution the book of Daniel was written.  (I know, you were starting to wonder what any of this has to do with Daniel.)  People were asking those questions: What do we do?  How do we remain faithful?  Where do we draw the line with these pagans and their demands?  And that all-important question above all else: Where is God in all of this?  Why is he allowing this to happen to us?  And so some anonymous writer, inspired by the Spirit, undertook to exhort his people by looking back to the last time Judah had faced tragedy and had been tempted to compromise with pagans: the Babylonian exile.  Specifically, he looked back to a man named Daniel. In the centuries since Daniel had lived, he'd become the popular subject of stories about faithfulness and wisdom.  This man living during the reign of Antiochus collected some of those stories to form the first part of his book—stories written in Aramaic, which had become the common language of the Jews since their exile.  And then he wrote (in Hebrew) an apocalypse in the style of a prophecy told by Daniel, and in that apocalypse he recounts the history of Judah's recent troubles, and through it all reminds the people that no matter what things look like, the Lord is sovereign over all—even pagan kings—and that he is with his people, even when it doesn't seem like it.  And in the end, knowing the faithfulness of the God of Israel, he looks forward in hope to the vindication of his people and to the Lord finally setting things to rights.  Daniel is really quite a bit more complicated than that, but that's it in a nutshell.  We'll crack open the nut in the coming months and I trust we'll be blessed, encouraged, and exhorted by what we find inside, especially knowing that it was written to people who felt as though the rug had been pulled out from under their feet and who were asking many of the same hard questions that we're asking as God's people today. The answers aren't always easy.  Sometimes we have to work out the math ourselves—like a “story problem”.  One of the interesting things about Daniel is that while we classify the book with the “Prophets” in Christians Bibles, the Jews placed this book in the section they call the “Writings”—all the books that aren't Law or Prophet.  Not everyone agrees on why this happened, but the prevailing view seems to be that Daniel was seen early on as wisdom literature—like Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes—those books where the big questions are worked out.  Where is God?  How does faithfulness work out practically in life?  Daniel does just that and one of the things I appreciate about the book of Daniel is that it shows us how we work out these questions, how we work out how to be faithful to the Lord in difficult times and difficult places, in light of what the big story of God and his people teaches us.  I had originally planned for our Old Testament lesson to be something from Daniel, but as I looked at the lectionary and the lesson it gives us from Zechariah 8, I realised that it's perfect.  Whoever compiled and composed Daniel as an exhortation to the people of Judah living under Antiochus Epiphanies, not only looked back to Daniel's experience in the Exile, but he also knew the story and the promises the Lord had made to his people before and during that exile—promises like the one we heard earlier from Zechariah: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath. Thus says the Lord: I will return to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; Jerusalem shall be called the faithful city, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts shall be called the holy mountain. Thus says the Lord of hosts: Old men and old women shall again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each with staff in hand because of their great age. And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets. Thus says the Lord of hosts: Even though it seems impossible to the remnant of this people in these days, should it also seem impossible to me, says the Lord of hosts? Thus says the Lord of hosts: I will save my people from the east country and from the west country; and I will bring them to live in Jerusalem. They shall be my people and I will be their God, in faithfulness and in righteousness.   He knew that there were parts of this prophecy yet to be fulfilled and in those dark days, that unfulfilled prophecy gave him hope, because he knew from the history of people that the Lord always does what he promises.  In particular, there's the second half of our lesson, from verses 2-23: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Peoples shall yet come, the inhabitants of many cities; the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, “Come, let us go to entreat the favor of the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts; I myself am going.” Many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of the Lord. Thus says the Lord of hosts: In those days ten men from nations of every language shall take hold of a Jew, grasping his garment and saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”   The author of Daniel looked around at his people.  Even though many of the people he knew were doing their best to be faithful, he saw so much compromise.  No one was looking to the people of Judah and seeing the Lord in their midst.  The nations looked at Judah and saw a people who were conquered—and that meant their god was conquered too.  But because he knew that the Lord is faithful, he could look forward in hope to that day when the Lord would restore his people and make them what they were—what they are—supposed to be.  He could look forward to that day that you and I have seen fulfilled in Jesus the Messiah, when the men and women of the nations would finally, at last, take hold of a Jew—the Jew—and plead, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.” Brothers and Sisters, we have seen these prophecies fulfilled in Jesus. We are the gentiles who have grabbed hold of his blood-soaked garments and he has led us to the God of Israel.  We who were not a people, have through him, become his people.  We see promise after promise fulfilled in him, fulfilled in the pouring out of the Spirit, fulfilled as the gospel has gone out to the nations.  And we, too can look forward in faith knowing the Lord's faithfulness—knowing, for example (again, just one of so many) that one day the knowledge of glory will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea.  Friends, no matter how difficult or dark the days, whether we walk beside still waters or through the valley of the shadow of death, though we know blessing or we know cursing, though we experience his approval or his discipline, the Lord is with us.  He has given his Son for our sake.  He has poured out his Spirit to equip us for his work.  He has given us his gospel to proclaim for the life of the world.  And he has done none of that in vain.  I think Daniel will help us answer those hard questions, but before we hear him speak, let's commit to holding fast to the solid rock, to the basic truths we already know, revealed in Jesus the Messiah himself: that the Lord loves us, that the Lord has a glorious future for us and all of creation, that the Lord is with us no matter what.  And most of all that great truth revealed in Jesus and in his death and resurrection: that the Lord will go to any length to keep his promise to us. As we prayed in our Collect, let us pray again: Almighty and everlasting God, you govern all things both in heaven and on earth:  Mercifully hear the supplications of your people, and in our time grant us your peace (and fill us with faith and hope); through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen.

Most of the time we think of the sermon preparation journey as one that starts at the desk and ends in it's delivery, but Justin Thornton invites us to peel back one more layer and start with the heart. He is the author of the book "The Preacher" which is a comprehensive guide from heart to pulpit. It will take you on a journey starting from what the heart should look like, to the basics of hermeneutics and exegesis, to homiletics and eventually delivery. It is for the seasoned preacher and the seasoned preacher trying to train up a team of new preachers.In this conversation Justin speaks about the dynamics of being a guest speaker, the difference between owning words and simply renting them, and how we can seek after the anointing of God upon our messages, and our lives.

What a blast to use my podcast to introduce Rick Warren to a church planter who hasn't even launched his first public service yet! Willie Johnson is with REDEFINE CHURCH in St. Louis MO. Rick's project these days is FinishingTheTask.com. I asked Rick to coach Willie, from his perspective as a church planter who has handed off his church to the next guy - with Willie and his team yet to launch their very first service.Willie would never ask this, so let me ask this for him - would you like to bless this new church plant?! Why not give them a one-time, or recurring gift as they get started? I love promoting what others are doing! Full disclosure - my church is forming a partnership and has sent thousands of dollars to Redefine Church, and I welcome you, if God so leads, to bless them also. They are a church plant with the Christian & Missionary Alliance!Enjoy this church planting coaching session!

It's Friday, June 9th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus.  (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Charges dropped against truth telling Pennsylvania street preacher Prosecutors have dropped charges against Damon Atkins, a Pennsylvanian street preacher, after he was arrested while reading from the Bible across from a homosexual pride event, reports The Christian Post. He was living out Romans 12:21 which says, “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” After a review of the arrest on June 3rd in the city of Reading, the Berks County District Attorney's Office said Wednesday that charges of disorderly conduct, filed against Atkins, were withdrawn. Video of the arrest went viral after Atkins, age 41, was taken into custody on absurd, trumped-up charges when he merely quoted a Bible verse to Reading Police Officer Bradley McClure. Donald Trump indicted on 7 counts over classified documents Former President Donald Trump has been indicted on seven federal criminal counts in connection with hundreds of classified government documents he retained at his Florida home after leaving the White House, reports CNBC. Trump himself disclosed the indictment in a series of posts on his Truth Social media site on Thursday evening. Dark horse GOP presidential candidate Doug Burgum On Wednesday, Republican North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, a successful businessman, announced his dark horse bid for the presidency, reports CBS News. After graduating from college in 1983, Burgum mortgaged his inherited farmland to invest in Great Plains Software which he sold in 2001 to Microsoft for $1.1 billion. He applied his business know-how to the state of North Dakota. BURGUM:  “We cut $1.7 billion in spending our first year in office. We cut red tape and streamlined services. We balanced the budget every year. We bolstered cybersecurity. We brought life back to our main streets. We made record investments in education, built infrastructure, unleashed energy production, and diversified the economy. “North Dakota is both growing and getting younger, one of the only states that's doing that. And we have the third lowest unemployment in the country and the highest workforce participation in the nation. (applause) “We achieved historic pension reform, helped pass term limits, and enacted the biggest tax cut in state history. (applause) We know we can do the same for America. “To unlock the best of America, we need a leader who's clearly focused on three things: Economy, energy, and national security. And that is why today I'm officially announcing I'm running for the president of the United States of America.” (applause) Pence touts conservatism and Constitution in presidential bid On the same day, from the early GOP primary state of Iowa, former Vice President Mike Pence threw his hat into the presidential ring, reports the Des Moines Register. He laid out his credentials as a conservative former Congressman and Governor from Indiana. PENCE: “What you may not know is I was also a congressman from Indiana for 12 years. I was a leader for House conservatives. We fought for life and liberty. I battled against big spenders in both political parties. I was a governor in Indiana where we cut taxes, as you heard from Speaker Houston. We achieved record employment, we expanded educational choice stood for the right to life, and the freedom of religion. “And as your vice president, I was proud to stand by President Donald Trump every single day when we made America great again. (applause) “Everything I am, everything I ever will be, I owe to my family, people of this country, and to Almighty God. I've long believed that to whom much is given, much will be required. That's why today, before God and my family, I'm announcing that I'm running for President of the United States of America.” (applause) Pence laid out his vision for America. PENCE: “We can defend our nation and secure our border.  We can revive our economy, put our nation back on a path to a balanced federal budget. We can defend our liberties and give America a new beginning for life. But it'll require new leadership in the White House and the Republican Party.” And Pence did not hesitate to address the events of January 6, 2021 when he chose to certify the 2020 presidential election results over the objections of Donald Trump. PENCE: “As I've said many times, on that fateful day, President Trump's words were reckless. They endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol. What the American people deserve to know is that on that day President Trump also demanded that I choose between him and the Constitution. Now, voters will be faced with the same choice. I chose the Constitution. And I always will.” (applause) YouTube will now allow posts questioning 2020 presidential election Speaking of elections, YouTube announced last Friday that it will allow content that challenges the results of past U.S. elections. Shortly after the 2020 presidential election, the Google-run video service said it would remove content that claimed voter fraud changed the election's outcome.  Now, YouTube is allowing such content. The company stated, “The ability to openly debate political ideas, even those that are controversial or based on disproven assumptions, is core to a functioning democratic society — especially in the midst of election season.” 1 Peter 2:16a says, “Live as people who are free.” Christian Missionary Alliance allows women in pastoral roles The Christian and Missionary Alliance, a denomination of over 2,000 churches with a statement of faith that aligns with the majority of Evangelical Christianity, voted last week to allow women to serve in pastoral roles, reports The Christian Post.  The change means that females may be ordained for pastoral roles with the exception of senior or lead pastor roles, which require male eldership. Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson died at 93 And finally, notable conservative Christian broadcaster and one-time presidential candidate Pat Robertson, widely known as the long-serving host of the popular Christian Broadcasting Network program "The 700 Club," has died. He was 93 years old. CBN News released a statement announcing Robertson died Thursday morning in his Virginia Beach, Virginia home. He was married to his wife Dede for 67 years until her death last year. In addition to writing 24 books, he ran for president in 1988 and founded the American Center for Law and Justice, the Christian Coalition, Regent University, Operation Blessing, and SuperBook, an animated series for kids about the Bible.
