Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: Gênesis 1:21-28 Plano De Leitura Anual: Gênesis 16–17; Mateus 5:27-48 Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira: Descobri recentemente algo incrível: perto de minha casa, um vizinho construiu um parquinho infantil secreto. Lá há uma escada de gravetos que leva até uma torre, balanços feitos de grandes carretéis pendurados nos galhos e até mesmo uma ponte suspensa entre as árvores. Alguém transformou um pouco de corda e de madeira numa aventura muito criativa! O físico suíço Paul Tournier acreditava que nós temos uma inclinação às façanhas porque fomos feitos à imagem de Deus (GÊNESIS 1:26-27). Deus aventurou-se a criar um Universo (vv.1-25), arriscou- -se a criar pessoas livres para escolher o bem ou o mal (3:5-6) e chamou-nos a sermos férteis e a nos multiplicar, enchendo e governando a Terra (1:28); nós também tendemos a ser criativos, assumir riscos e inventar coisas novas ao frutificar e governar este mundo de forma útil. Essas façanhas podem ser grandes ou pequenas, mas são melhores quando beneficiam os outros. Aposto que os construtores do parquinho perto da minha casa ficariam muito satisfeitos em saber que as pessoas o descobriram e se divertem nele. Seja ao compor músicas, explorar novas formas de evangelismo ou reavivar um casamento morno, qualquer forma de aventura nos mantém vivos. Qual nova tarefa ou projeto requer a sua atenção agora? Talvez Deus o esteja conduzindo a uma nova aventura. Por: Sheridan Voysey

The late Dr. Paul Tournier, known by many as the twentieth century's most famous Christian physician, wrote a book back in 1954 titled “The Meaning Of Persons” that offers some very helpful insights for today's world as we try to figure out how to best navigate social media in healthy ways. Tournier said that we all have to recognize the disparity that exists between who we know ourselves to be on the inside, along with how we decide to present ourselves to other people. He calls this disparity the difference between what we know to be our person, and the personage we present to the world. Because social media allows us to create, fabricate, curate, and present a false self to our followers, this disparity can be especially wide in today's world. Tournier says we become contradictory beings. The further apart our persons and our personages are, the greater will be our problems with mental health, for part of our lives will be lie. Could it be that this is at the heart of our kids mental health issues?

Paul Tournier, an influential psychologist, left us with this quote that I find fascinating. He said, “The human condition requires that there are two things in life that we cannot do alone. One is to be married. The other is to be a Christian.”  How do you live the Christian life in our generation of social media connection, but personal and physical isolation? Let's talk about that.   Samuel D. James, “The illusion of digital community,” https://wng.org/opinions/the-illusion-of-digital-community-1675342549, February 2, 2023.   Luis Andres Henao, “Faith in the metaverse: A VR quest for community, fellowship,” https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-technology-health-religion-virginia-04f7203bcf9026fee54a8893f396dca0, January 31, 2022.

I recently made a wonderful discovery. Following a dirt path into a cluster of trees near my home, I found a hidden homemade playground. A ladder made of sticks led up to a lookout, swings made from old cable spools hung from branches, and there was even a suspension bridge slung between boughs. Someone had turned some old wood and rope into a creative adventure! Swiss physician Paul Tournier believed that we were made for adventure because we’re made in God’s image (Genesis 1:26–27). Just as God ventured forth to invent a universe (vv. 1–25), just as He took the risk of creating humans who could choose good or evil (3:6), and just as He called us to “be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it” (1:28), we too have a drive to invent, take risks, and create new things as we fruitfully rule the earth. Such adventures may be large or small, but they’re best when they benefit others. I bet the makers of that playground would get a kick out of people finding and enjoying it. Whether it’s inventing new music, exploring new forms of evangelism, or rekindling a marriage that’s grown distant, adventures of all kinds keep our heart beating. What new task or project is tugging at you right now? Perhaps God is leading you to a new adventure.

The Book of Job: With Friends Like These… 1. The words of Job’s friends are accurately recorded, but their words may not be accurate to the truth. Job 42:7 (NIV) – [7] “After the LORD had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.” Job 4:1 (NIV) – [1] Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied: Genesis 36:10-11 (NIV) – [10] These are the names of Esau's sons: Eliphaz, the son of Esau's wife Adah, and Reuel, the son of Esau's wife Basemath. [11] The sons of Eliphaz: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam and Kenaz. Jeremiah 49:20 (NIV) – [20] Therefore, hear what the LORD has planned against Edom, what he has purposed against those who live in Teman: The young of the flock will be dragged away; he will completely destroy their pasture because of them. Jeremiah 49:7 (NIV) – [7] Concerning Edom: This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom decayed?” Job 4:2 (NIV) – [2] “If someone ventures a word with you, will you be impatient? But who can keep from speaking? 2. Eliphaz is immediately defensive. 3. Some study theology to KNOW God; others study theology to CONTROL God. “We are nearly always longing for an easy religion, easy to understand and easy to follow; a religion with no mystery, no insoluble problems, no snags; a religion that would allow us to escape from our miserably human condition; a religion in which contact with God spares us all strife, all uncertainty, all suffering and all doubt; in short, a religion without the Cross.” –Swiss Psychologist, Paul Tournier, Reflections Job 4:3-6 (NLT) – [3] “In the past you have encouraged many people; you have strengthened those who were weak. [4] Your words have supported those who were falling; you encouraged those with shaky knees. [5] But now when trouble strikes, you lose heart. You are terrified when it touches you. [6] Doesn’t your reverence for God give you confidence? Doesn’t your life of integrity give you hope?” 4. Eliphaz rebukes Job. 5. Our hope should never be in our righteousness but in God’s mercy. Titus 3:3-7 (NIV) – [3] At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. [4] But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, [5] he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. [6] He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, [6] whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, [7] so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. Titus 2:11-14 (NIV) – [11] For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. [12] It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, [13] while we wait for the blessed hope-the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, [14] who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

We do not have to live what Dr Paul Tournier called “automatic lives”. Choice is at the core of personhood. Meet our guide—and first crossroads—for this new series.

Sermon Notes John 11:1-3 NIV "Now, a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary, and her sister Martha. (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one 5who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) So the sisters sent word to Jesus, 'Lord, the one you love is sick.'" John 11:41-42 NIV "So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, 'Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.'" John 11:43-44a NIV "When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come out!' The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen and a cloth around his face." John 11:44b NIV "Jesus said to them, 'Take off the grave clothes and let him go.'" It takes a community to strip us of our grave clothes. Philippians 2:1-3 NIV "Therefore, if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves." Romans 12:9-10 NIV "Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves." Romans 14:13 NIV "Therefore, let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister." "When other people judge, criticize, and condemn us, we can plunge into cesspools of false guilt. Swiss psychologist Paul Tournier said false guilt “comes as a result of judgments and suggestions of men.” A twenty-one-year-old college student described his struggle with false guilt this way: “My dad acts like judge, jury, and executioner when I do something wrong. He makes me feel utterly worthless.” False guilt causes us to sink in defeat rather than rise up and move out of the tomb." – Steven W. Smith, The Lazarus Life Romans 8:1-2 NIV "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death." Learn to recognize the voice of your enemy vs. the voice of your Heavenly Father. Romans 8:5 NIV "Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires." Romans 8:6 NIV "The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace." Romans 8:7-8 NIV "The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God." Romans 8:9-11 NIV "You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you." Romans 8:28-30 NIV "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified." Romans 8:31-32 NIV "What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?" Romans 8:33-34 NIV "Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us." Romans 8:35-36 NIV "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: 'For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.'" Romans 8:37 NIV "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." Romans 8:38-39 NIV "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." The end game of God’s love for us is more worship. John 11:2 NIV "(This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.)" John 12:1-3 NIV "Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume."

================================================== ==SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1================================================== == DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA ADULTOS 2022“NUESTRO MARAVILLOSO DIOS”Narrado por: Roberto NavarroDesde: Chiapas, MéxicoUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church  26 DE ABRIL ALGO MEJOR«Dios no es injusto para olvidar vuestra obra y el trabajo de amor que hemos mostrado hacia su nombre». Hebreos 6:10¿HAY EN TU VIDA ALGÚN MAL HÁBITO que te ha costado superar? ¿Algún pecado acariciado? Si tu respuesta a cualquiera de estas preguntas es afirmativa, quizás te pueda ayudar la experiencia de Benjamín, de la cual escriben Mark Finley y Steven Mosley. *Benjamín había viajado por toda Europa en busca de curas para enfermedades que solo existían en su mente, pero sin resultado alguno. El caso es que en una de sus tantas consultas se topó con un médico cristiano, el Dr. Paul Tournier, quien percibió que los problemas de salud de Benjamín no eran de naturaleza física sino espiritual. Por supuesto, el doctor no se lo dijo. En cambio, le pedí que le hablara de su vida.Entre otras cosas, Benjamín le contó que cuando su hijo era todavía muy pequeño, su madre lo llevó a visitar a sus abuelos en el extranjero. Cuando llegó el tiempo de regresar, Benjamín le pidió a su esposa que ella regresara sola y que dejara al niño con sus abuelos. Ella así lo hizo, pero la idea no pudo ser peor porque el niño enfermo y al poco tiempo murió. Esa tragedia, en opinión del Dr. Tournier, marcó el comienzo de los problemas de salud de Benjamín. Ahora, ¿qué podía él decirle a este pobre hombre que lo colocara en la ruta a la sanidad?Sin rodeos, le dijo que ante él se extendían dos caminos. Uno, el que hasta ahora había seguido y que lo había mantenido de clínica en clínica. El otro, el que el Señor Jesucristo lo invitó a transitar. Un camino que nunca transitaría solo, pues Jesús siempre lo acompañaría.-Quiero elegir la ruta del Señor Jesucristo -dijo Benjamín—, pero necesitaré ayuda.Fue así como Benjamín comenzó a estudiar la Palabra ya orar. A medida que lo hacía, hablaba cada vez menos de sus problemas de salud. Llegó el día en que hubo realizado «algunas obras de amor», comenzando con su propia esposa: le pidió perdón por haberla herido, le habló del amor de Dios y le produjo que reanudó su relación.Según escriben Finley y Mosley, Benjamín «llegó a convertirse en un adulto saludable». ¿Cuál había sido la clave de su transformación? Su decisión de realizar «algunas obras de amor» lo colocó en la ruta de la victoria; la ruta en la que vencemos con el bien el mal; en la que reemplazamos la vieja vida, los viejos habitos, por una vida nueva. Este es un buen día para reemplazar lo peor con lo mejor; una nueva vida en la que Jesús es el centro y en la que realizamos «algunas obras de amor» para la gloria de su nombre.Padre celestial, ¿qué obras de amor podrían realizarse hoy, que glorifiquen tu nombre? *Mark Finley y Steven Mosley. Una religión eficaz, APIA, 1998, pp. 45-59

“Las grandes cortesanas, desde la escultural ateniense Friné hasta la pálida marquesa de Pompadour, unieron a su atractivo y buen hacer amatorio cualidades menos comunes: simpatía, inteligencia, carácter, astucia, ambición, talento, decisión y otras que forman parte de la influencia irresistible y perdurable que ejercieron, más allá de sus artes horizontales”. Esto corresponde a la introducción del libro “Las Cortesanas” de Paul Tournier. Esas digamos son las características que debía tener una cortesana para triunfar en la vida. El libro que nos ocupa hoy es "La dama de las camelias" de Alejandro Dumas hijo, y en este episodio de Pónganse a Leer, Pedro Julio tiene nuevamente como invitado a su amigo Eduardo Baccarani quien nos explicará por qué piensa él que Pedro Julio terminará su vida como Margarita Gautier…Leer más:https://culturizando.com/ponganse-a-leer-la-dama-de-las-camelias-y-de-como-ser-una-cortesana-y-no-morir-en-el-intento• CULTURIZANDO.COM/PODCAST • Podcast de Literatura • Podcast en Español •Conéctate con Culturizando:Visita: https://culturizando.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/CulturizandoInstagram: https://instagram.com/CulturizandoFacebook: https://facebook.com/CulturizandoYoutube: https://youtube.com/Culturizando

Guilt is a big topic - there is so much to say. Like the feeling of guilt itself, it is layered. We deal with guilt on an individual level and on a societal one. “Guilt is a religious problem which interests theologians, a social problem which interests sociologists and a psychological problem which interests psychologists,” wrote psychotherapist and theologian, Paul Tournier, in his book Guilt and Grace. People sometimes speak of  ‘religious guilt’ or ‘Catholic guilt’ and it’s almost always used negatively. The assumption is that if you are religious, you are dealing with much more guilt than the regular person, and certainly more than is healthy!But maybe guilt is actually good? And maybe religion - Christianity in particular - is the maestro of listening to, directing, and silencing the guilt we experience in our lives. LINKS About that record... the first was already dead: angler -- read more about Clive White's trout confession. This episode is brought to you by Zondervan's new book Bullies and Saints: An honest look at the good and evil of Christian history by John Dickson.  Meet our guest, Dr Rob Waller.  Meet our guest, Professor Wilfred McClay Here's Rob's book, The Guilt Book  Here's Bill's essay from The Hedgehog Review, The Strange Persistence of Guilt (behind a paywall, sorry!) The scene from Daredevil on Netflix was from Season 2, Episode 4. Though, we're not really saying you should watch it.  This one's specifically for John, actually: More on 30 Rock, the American satirical comedy created by Tina Fey. (PS. It won 16 Emmy awards and is regarded as one of the best sitcoms of all time). Here's the atheist bus campaign that Bill talks about. You can learn more about Neitzsche's theory on the genealogy of guilt here. Here's Sigmund Freud's Civilisation and its Discontents, where he declared guilt to be “the most important problem in the development of civilization.” He said “the price we pay for our advance in civilization is a loss of happiness through the heightening of the sense of guilt.” Here we are again, with a link for the Netflix series The Good Place. (So great that we keep quoting it. Dear John, you should definitely keep watching. Love Kaley and Mark)  There's a lot of views about whether or not to destroy Confederate statues. Here's a few interesting reads from different perspectives: A Solution to the Confederate-Monument Problem: Destroying the statues won’t erase the past. Why not let them deteriorate in a public space instead? from The Atlantic We need to move, not destroy, Confederate monuments from The New York Times Nearly 100 Confederate monuments removed in 2020, says report. Over 700 remain. from NPR (America's National Public Radio)  The battle over Confederate statues, explained: Confederate statues have always been about white supremacy. That’s why they’re coming down, by Vox And, here's Undeceptions own Laurel Moffatt giving her thoughts during an Undeceptions single last year.  Read the research by sociologists Bradley and Manning on victimhood: The Rise of Victimhood Culture, in which they write: "A culture of victimhood is one characterized by concern with status and sensitivity to slight combined with a heavy reliance on third parties. People are intolerant of insults, even if unintentional, and react by bringing them to the attention of authorities or to the public at large. People increasingly demand help from others, and advertise their oppression as evidence that they deserve respect and assistance. This only increases the incentive to publicize grievances, and it means aggrieved parties are especially likely to highlight their identity as victims, emphasizing their own suffering and innocence." It's Jiminy Cricket!   Read more on Professor Tyler Vander Weele's research on whether forgiveness is a public health issue. 

ARE YOU TROUBLED BY DEMONS? Mark 1: 21-28 All of us have times in our life when we are confronted with problems and emotions that almost overwhelm us. There have been times in my life when, emotionally, I was at the end of my rope and feared it would break. Perhaps you have had that experience too. What comfort it is to know that we have a Friend who can heal brokenness of any kind—whether it is physical, emotional, or spiritual—if we will let Him. This poor man in the synagogue was tortured of spirit. Maybe the demons that were troubling him were hatred, envy, resentment and especially un-forgiveness or guilt. “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” “Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!” The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek. Let's not allow the drama of this encounter to blind us to what is really happening here. Jesus saw a man who needed help and he gave that help just as he has helped millions since. Do you believe he wants to help you whatever your need may be? Are you willing to trust him? Paul Tournier was a brilliant thinker and writer, and an influential Christian therapist during his time. Doctors from around the world traveled to his home in Switzerland to learn from him. He wrote, “It is a little embarrassing for students to come over and study my ‘techniques.' They always go away disappointed because all I do is accept people.” That's what Jesus does for people too. He accepts them. It makes no difference who they are or what they've done, he accepts them. And if they will trust him, really trust him, He is willing to deliver them, heal them, quiet their spirit and make them whole once again. How about you? Are you troubled by such worrisome, but everyday demons like worry, hatred, envy, resentment, guilt or un-forgiveness? You have a friend who loves to cast out demons. He wants to help if you will let him. Grace and Peace, Stephen

Now that we have covered the importance of transparency, we move on to the importance of listening in understanding one another. In James 1:19 we read ‘Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.' Many people want nothing more than someone to care enough to listen to them. To be listened to and understood is important to one's well-being. Dr Paul Tournier writes: ‘It is impossible to overemphasize the immense need humans have to be really listened to, to be taken seriously, to be understood. No one can develop freely in this world without being understood by at least one other person.' A poor listener exhibits habits that suppress communication and create misunderstanding. We can fake listening. A friend of ours caught her husband out when she noticed that he was faking while ‘listening' to her. She suddenly threw in a statement like “and then I told her that I was going to leave you and run off with another man”, it took quite a while for him to register… We can be selective in listening. In the song The Boxer, Paul Simon has a line that says, ‘a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest'. This could be true for both men and women. A good listener will manifest an attitude of acceptance that will encourage communication, like giving focussed attention which says to your partner ‘you are my top priority'. A good listener will also listen with an attitude of acceptance and willingness to understand. Next week we'll talk about how to talk so that we can be understood.

REFLECTION QUOTES “A cynic knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.” ~Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) in Lady Windermere's Fan “One even wonders whether some current churchgoers might…be resistant were they to encounter a Christianity that is deep, costly, and demanding.” ~David F. Wells in God in the Whirlwind: How the Holy-love of God Reorients Our World “Anyone who has once been horrified by the dreadfulness of his own sin that nailed Jesus to the cross will no longer be horrified by even the rankest sins of a brother.” ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), theologian who lost his life defying Hitler “The power of just mercy is that it belongs to the undeserving. It's when mercy is least expected that it is most potent—strong enough to break the cycle of victimization and victimhood, retribution and suffering.” ~Brian Stephenson in Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption “Where there is no longer any opportunity for doubt, there is no longer any opportunity for faith either…. Christian faith does not involve repressing one's anxiety in order to appear strong. On the contrary, it means recognizing one's weakness, accepting the inward truth about oneself, confessing one's anxiety, and still to believe, that is to say that the Christian puts his trust not in his own strength, but in the grace of God.” ~Paul Tournier (1898-1986), the Swiss physician and author “Jesus is a teacher who doesn't just inform our intellect but forms our very loves. He isn't content to simply deposit new ideas into your mind; he is after nothing less than your wants, your loves, your longings.” ~James K.A. Smith in You Are What You Love: The Spiritual Power of Habit “It is like employing a small tool on big constructions, if we use human wisdom in the hunt for knowledge of reality.” ~Gregory of Nazianzus (c. 329-390), Archbishop of Constantinople SERMON PASSAGE Jude (ESV) 1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ: 2 May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. 3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. 5 Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day— 7 just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. 8 Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones. 9 But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.” 10 But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively. 11 Woe to them! For they walked in the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam's error and perished in Korah's rebellion. 12 These are hidden reefs at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, shepherds feeding themselves; waterless clouds, swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted; 13 wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever. 14 It was also about these that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones, 15 to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” 16 These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage. 17 But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. 18 They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” 19 It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit. 20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. 22 And have mercy on those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh. 24 Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, 25 to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

REFLECTION QUOTES “When nothing is owed or deserved or expected And your life doesn't change by the man that's elected If you're loved by someone, you're never rejected.” ~The Avett Brothers: “Head Full of Doubt, Road Full of Promise” “Christian faith does not involve repressing one's anxiety in order to appear strong. On the contrary, it means recognizing one's weakness, accepting the inward truth about oneself, confessing one's anxiety, and still to believe, that is to say that the Christian puts his trust not in his own strength, but in the grace of God.” ~Paul Tournier (1898-1986), Swiss physician and author “If the gospels did not concern the life of someone with alleged divine origins, most students would have long since accepted [their] early testimony.” ~Reynolds Price (1933-2011), American writer and professor of English “If a…Christian is asked why he believes Jesus…he can give…no more objective answer than… ‘I believe because He fulfills none of my dreams, because He is in every respect the opposite of what He would be if I could have made Him in my own image.' Thus, if a Christian is asked: ‘Why Jesus and not Socrates or Buddha or Confucius or Mahomet?' perhaps all he can say is: ‘None of the others arouse all sides of my being to cry ‘Crucify Him.'” ~W.H. Auden (1907-1973), English-born poet “We are constantly assured that the churches are empty because preachers insist too much upon doctrine—‘dull dogma,' as people call it. The fact is the precise opposite. It is the neglect of dogma that makes for dullness. The Christian faith is the most exciting drama that ever staggered the imagination of man—and the dogma is the drama….” “If this is dull, then what, in Heaven's name, is worthy to be called exciting? The people who hanged Christ never, to do them justice, accused Him of being a bore—on the contrary; they thought Him too dynamic to be safe….” ~Dorothy Sayers (1893-1957), playwright and essayist SERMON PASSAGE Mark 1:1-15 (ESV) 1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way, 3 the voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,'” 4 John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 Now John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey. 7 And he preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8 I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” 9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” 12 The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. 13 And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him. 14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”

REFLECTION QUOTES “An Instagram-age reader will note that Narcissus, in his statue-like stillness, is posing, and that his obsession with his own, intangible image has come about as a punishment for pride and for scorning real-life relationships…. Narcissus's isolation and loneliness, his inability to encounter, much less, to love, anyone in the flesh is recognizable to us as one of the core anxieties of our 21st century, digitally refracted existence.” ~Avi Steinberg in “The Murky Meaning of the Killer Selfie” in The NY Times Magazine, December 11, 2015 “There are two things we cannot do alone. One is to be married and the other is to be a Christian.” “The worst thing is not being wrong, but being sure one is not wrong.” ~Paul Tournier (1898-1986), Swiss physician and author “If you alter or obscure the Biblical portrait of God in order to attract converts, you don't get converts to God, you get converts to an illusion. This is not evangelism, but deception.” ~John Piper, American pastor and author “Have you no wish for others to be saved? Then you're not saved yourself, be sure of that!” ~Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892), famed London preacher “The Bible was not given to increase our knowledge but to change our lives.” ~D.L. Moody (1837-1899), famed 19th century evangelist “It is quite clear that between love and understanding there is a very close link…He who loves understands, and he who understands loves. One who feels understood feels loved, and one who feels loved feels sure of being understood.” ~Paul Tournier in his book To Understand Each Other SERMON PASSAGE 1 Peter 2 (NASB) 1 Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, 2 like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, 3 if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord. 4 And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 9 …you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 11 Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul. 12 Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation. 1 Peter 3 8 To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; 9 not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing. 10 For, “The one who desires life, to love and see good days, Must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit. 11 “He must turn away from evil and do good; He must seek peace and pursue it. 12 “For the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, And His ears attend to their prayer, But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” 1 Peter 4 8 Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.

“A man’s true value consists in his likeness to God. What gives value to his thoughts, his feelings, and his actions is the extent to which they are inspired by God, the extent to which they express the thought, the will, and the acts of God.” ~ Paul Tournier

Anxious anticipation, nervous trepidation, heart palpitation and a tingling sensation are the smells and bells of adventure.   Paul Tournier was a 3 year-old orphan in Switzerland when Teddy Roosevelt became President of the United States.  Paul grew up to become a doctor.   He did a lot of thinking and he wrote a few books.   Paul Tournier was nearly 70 when he wrote The Adventure of Living:   “Our actual lives rarely suffice to assuage our thirst for adventure. Fortunately we can all supply the want by using our imaginations. The dullest and most humdrum life can be enlivened by imagined pleasures… Those who are lacking in imagination of their own can always use that of other people. There is no shortage of novels to read… The same mechanism of identification makes it possible in the cinema, through the radio or television, or at a circus to procure cheaply the feeling of taking part in an adventure. This is the case, too, with ‘sportsmen' who come back from a football match proudly proclaiming ‘We won!' although they personally have done nothing but applaud the winners… That the need for adventure lies behind the passion for gambling hardly needs mention. A habit that is quite as difficult to cure as gambling is that of drug-taking, in all its various forms. This too can be regarded as an expression of the instinct for adventure… Looked at in its best light, adultery may be seen to be for many men the only means of satisfying their craving for adventure.”   Tournier believed every human life is a never-ending search for adventure.   “A most important observation must, however, be made at this point, and that is that a distinction is to be made between quality adventure and quantity adventure. In capitalist countries financial success is still, if not a truly satisfying adventure, at least a symbol of adventure. There are of course other quantity adventures aside from those of money, gambling or dope. There is, for example, that of frenzied activity. It is obvious that for many people these days the whirl of activities with which they fill their lives is a compensation for a profound dissatisfaction in regard to the quality of life they are living.”   Video games, movies, reality TV shows, online flirtations, romance novels, sporting events and conspiracy theories are just different manifestations of our common need for adventure. I learned all this in the first 17 pages of Tournier's 250-page book. I'm glad my friend Ron told me about it.  Purchases are often an adventure. Much of what we buy is bought to remind ourselves – and tell the world around us – who we are. The politically correct term for this, I believe, is self-expression. Kurt Vonnegut may have been pondering self-expression when he said, “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be.” I pretend to be a writer and an advertising consultant and a connoisseur of fine art. (I say “pretend” because I'm not actually qualified to be any of these things. It's really quite an adventure.)   What is your current adventure? Are the stakes high enough to make it truly riveting?   Page 21 of Tournier's The Adventure of Living helped me to understand why people often do stupid things: “Many people are never able to come to terms with the death to which every adventure is inevitably subject… The Law of Adventure is that it dies as it achieves its object.” And then we must find a new adventure.   Desperate for adventure, some people feel compelled to outsmart society. Vandalism and shoplifting are two of the standby adventures of youth. Road rage and embezzlement are just around the corner. And all these people ever really wanted was anxious anticipation, nervous trepidation, heart palpitation and a tingling sensation.   ...
