How should Christians interact with politics in light of the Kingdom of God? Guest speaker Dr. Steven Cole, Executive Director of the Brethren denomination, addresses this topic.

From duty to daily life, reuniting veterans with their communitySHOW NOTES:Military life is different. To fully understand, you would need to be a Veteran. Veterans selflessly and fiercely protect the lives we know—the lives many of us take for granted. There's a unique camaraderie in the military: one for all and all for one. One might think that such a bond between the military and the civilians they protect would ensure a supportive welcome home. However, the reality is often quite different.The transition to civilian life after the regimen and sacrifice of military duty can be daunting. Yet, in the Carolinas, there exists a strong, vibrant, and caring community that is getting it right. At the heart of this community is Veteran's Bridge Home, a nonprofit dedicated to connecting Veterans and their families to the resources they need during any state of transition. At its mission's core, Veteran's Bridge Home assists Veterans in navigating employment opportunities, fostering social connections, and settling their families, all with the support of an extensive network of partners.In this episode of Raise Nation Radio, Steven Cole, Vice President of Development, joins us to share how Veteran's Bridge Home helps Veterans successfully pursue their dreams and enriches the community with their leadership and dedication. Tune in to learn about Steven's 20 years of service in the Army and his journey to Veteran's Bridge Home, the organization's achievements and success with programming and development, and how communities can become more welcoming and livable for returning Veterans and their families.

My guest today is Dr. Joann O'Leary, who holds a Masters Degree in Maternal-Child Health from the University of MN and a Masters in Psychology from Queens University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Joann has published 5 books including Different Baby, Different Story: Pregnancy and Parenting after Loss2020Meeting the Needs of Parents Pregnant and Parenting After Perinatal Loss2016Pregnancy After Loss: A Descriptive Phenomenological Study Of Parenting A Subsequent Baby Following A Perinatal Loss2010After Loss: Parenting in the Next Pregnancy: A Manual for Professionals Working With Families in Pregnancy Following Loss1998A parent involvement program for preschool children with special needs1978Joann does research and writing on prenatal parenting, and the impact on parents and siblings and on the child born after the loss of a baby.How it all started 35 years ago. Joann and Linda Parker, a nurse, led their first pregnancy after loss group. “We were going to do it twice a month, like most infant loss group, but the parents were like, Oh, my God, we can't wait another two weeks. We want to come next week too. And when they left Linda being the clinical nurse specialist said, did you see all those moms with high risk pregnancies? And I said, did you see all those babies with attachment disorders because I envisioned all these little babies in their mothers' wombs, saying I'm here, I'm here, because the moms weren't paying attention, they were afraid to embrace this new baby. And so that's kind of how our program started.”She works with grief and attachment at the same time. Because it's a whole new layer of grief when parents become pregnant again, because they think they're going to be so excited to have this baby. Of course, it just brings up Oh, my God, this baby could die too.Joann's approach, in a nutshell, is showing pregnant parents after a loss how they can still be parents to their deceased baby while working to embrace this new unborn baby.I asked her whether she thought think that her work had influenced physicians' attitudes towards pregnancy and pregnancy loss since physicians usually are just interested in the physical aspects of a baby. How much does it weigh, what is the Apgar score, stuff like that? And they don't give a hoot about the psychological emotional aspects of pregnancy and births? Joann obviously does. Her answer was not encouraging.“I wish I could say yes. But I'm afraid I can't. The perinatologists that I worked with, they always still thought I did a grief group. Right? They never understood that it was a group to build attachment. Right. And we have very, very few physicians that come to our presentations. Very few.”We spoke of embodied grief. How grief stays in the body and the importance of releasing it with massage, Reiki, other types of body work.Joann says that the babies that have been in her groups have been observed to be sensitive, caring adults. They have  learned about grief in utero. Their teachers report that they're the first child in class to reach out to children with special needs. Parents and teachers agree that they're just wonderful, caring people.Joann can be reached at joann@starlegacyfoundation.org. My next week's guest, will be Dr. Steven Cole, Professor of Medicine, Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Science in the UCLA School of Medicine with whom I will discuss  the molecular pathways by whiIf you liked this podcast please tell your friends about it, subscribe to this podcast wherever you listen to podcasts and/or write a brief note on apple podcasts, check out my blogs on Psychology Today at https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/contributors/thomas-r-verny-md

================================================== ==SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1================================================== == DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA MUJERES 2022“SIN MIEDOS NI CADENAS”Narrado por: Sirley DelgadilloDesde: Bucaramanga, ColombiaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church  10 DE MAYO DE MAL EN PEOR“Tu fidelidad se extiende a cada generación, y perdura igual que la tierra que creaste” (Sal. 119:90, NTV).A veces, antes de mejorar, las cosas empeoran bastante. Dios llamó a Moisés para sacar a Israel de Egipto. Aunque no se sintiera capaz, Moisés obedeció. ¿Qué sucedió inmediatamente después? El faraón no solo se negó a dejar ir al pueblo, sino además aguantó su servidumbre. Dejó de proveerles la paja para hacer los ladrillos de barro, pero les exigió que produjeran la misma cantidad, y los capataces les daban golpizas cuando no lo lograran. ¡La intención del faraón era que el pueblo de Israel no tendría tiempo ni energía para soñar con ser libre! Confundido, entonces, Moisés le preguntó a Jehová: “¿Por qué me enviaste?” (Éxodo 5:22).Muchas veces, cuando respondemos al llamado de Dios, en cualquier área de nuestra vida, las cosas empeoran y nos sentimos confundidas. Sin embargo, como escribe Steven Cole en su artículo “The Plan is not working”, “cuando comienzas a servir al Señor, ingresas a la infantería. El príncipe de las tinieblas comienza a apuntar en tu dirección Generalmente, las cosas no se vuelven más fáciles y tranquilas. Las cosas empeoran”. Esto no debería sorprendernos ni detenernos. La táctica del enemigo es la misma que la del faraón. Pero si ante la dificultad nos rendimos, continuaremos siendo esclavas.Cuando llegan los problemas, dudamos de dos cosas: de nuestro llamado (¿Habré entendido mal? ¿Soy la persona indicada?) y de la fidelidad de Dios (¿Me puede bibliotecar Dios de esto? ¿Le importa?) Respondiéndole a Moisés, Jehová aclaró ambas dudas: afirmó a Moisés en su llamado y reiteró su amor por Israel (Exo. 6). Si al avanzar en la dirección a la que Dios te está llamando las cosas empeoran, no permitas que el enemigo te robe tu oportunidad de ser libre. ¡No hay ejército que pueda detener al Omnipotente! Si con fe depende de su fuerza, la victoria está asegurada.Señor, cuando las circunstancias empeoren, en lugar de mejorar, recuérdame tu fidelidad para con el pueblo de Israel. Cuando me sienta tentada a dudar de tu llamado, recuérdame que toda palabra que sale de tu boca no regresará vacía, sino que se cumplirá. No me daré por vencida, porque me llamaste para hacerme libre.

前言：瓶子框架不妨找一个安静的、不受打扰的时间，拿起笔，或者打开笔记工具，列出你在过去一周里面，你做过的主要事情，以及每一件事情的时间消耗。然后，把每一件事情和对应的时间，用这个框架大致分成四类。重要性：指的是这件事情从短期和长期两个方面对你的价值。也就是无法替代的、能够为你带来收获和成长的事情。时间耗用：你可以依照自己的实际情况大致划一条线，区分出“多”和“少”，不需要非常精确，大致就可以。我们逐项来看。 一、沙子：低重要性 - 低时间耗用这些通常是为了维持每天生活所需的日常琐事，比如吃饭，家务，事务性工作，等等。如果把生活比喻成一个瓶子，它们就像瓶子中的沙子，细微而不起眼，但却充斥在我们每一天的日常生活里每个方方面面。针对这些琐事，有两个简单的建议，可以让你从它们之中获得能量。1.尽量把琐事固化到固定的时间、固定的步骤，以及固定的场景里。简单来说，就是让你的生活保持稳定：在同样的时间吃饭，同样的时间做家务，同样的时间洗漱，同样的时间写日记，同样的时间上床睡觉。重复的行为能够带来一种奇妙的力量：它能增强我们的控制感，让我们感受到生活依然在控制之中，降低我们的焦虑感，增强我们的精神集中程度。同时，简单地重复精确的行为，还能够为自己提供一种自律的满足感，从而提高我们去做其他事情的动力。2.为日常琐事设计一些简单的仪式感。什么是仪式感呢？就是在你的日常生活轨迹中，插入一些行为，让自己遵循这些行为去行动。比如，在下午4点的时候起来散散步，做一下拉伸；午饭后给自己泡杯茶，读两页书；每工作半小时左右听会音乐，打开同一套播放列表。等等。实验表明：重复简单的日常仪式，可以帮助我们更清醒地思考问题，提高对任务的表现。比如：在一项为期5天的实验中，仅仅只是简单要求参与者在进食前闭上眼睛、数到10，就能促使他们选择更加健康的零食。什么样的仪式才能起到作用呢？答案非常简单：只要它足够精确，经常重复，并且遵循严格的顺序就可以了。你可以自由设定一套动作或行为，给它编上顺序，等触发的时候按部就班去做就好。关键是把它内化到每一天的生活轨迹里。通过这种方式，让自己重新找回对生活的掌控感。 二、水：低重要性 - 高时间耗用为什么把它们称为“水”呢？因为，当我们感到焦虑时，当我们被不确定性困扰时，我们最容易去做的下意识行动，就是去重复一些低门槛的、低价值的行为，从这些行为中缓解焦虑和不安。就像水一样，在你不知不觉之间，从瓶子的空隙流进去，填满一切碎片时间。最常见的例子是什么？就是不断地去刷信息流，企图通过刷信息来缓解心情。或者不断地对手上在做的事情去修修补补，企图让自己感到更安心。但是，这些事情有价值吗？其实是很低的。大多数信息对我们都是无用的，只会徒增我们的焦虑；大多数已经做好的事情也没必要不断修补，还不如着手去做新的任务。反而，它们会在你不知不觉之间，把你的时间和精力一点一滴榨干，让你感到：我好像没做什么，怎么一天就过去了？因此，一个有用的建议是：为这些事情设定一个明确的边界，不要让它们越雷池一步。具体来说，尽量减少刷信息的时间和频率。你可以为关注的信息源（比如各地区的官方发布平台、卫健委信息等）设定一个时间点，每天到点了检查一下。除此之外，尽量不要去关注其他太多无能为力的信息，避免增加自己的焦虑。同样，为自己计划中的每一件事情设定一个你自己的截止期限，到了截止期限，就不要再去反复思考它、咀嚼它，而是把它先放在一边，着手去做其他更重要的事情。尽量减少自己在这个部分上面的时间和精力耗用，你才能避开“时间黑洞”。 三、石块：高重要性 - 高时间耗用这部分是你每天生活中最核心的部分，也是填满生活这个瓶子的主体。对于这些事情，你要做的是什么呢？是尽量把注意力和精力投入进去，避免分心、走神，思绪不自觉地偏移。在焦虑的时候，我们很容易出现的问题，就是注意力涣散。无论手头在做什么事情，内心总是很容易不安宁，很容易偏移到对未来的担忧和怀疑上，也很容易把一些负面的信息和念头反反复复拿出来咀嚼、反刍。这是最需要避免的情况，它会极大地增加你的精神内耗，让你更容易疲惫不堪。那么，如何尽量提高自己的集中力和专注力呢？可以试试用下面这套步骤：第一，觉察和接受。不去否定和强迫自己的注意力，而是顺其自然：控制不住时就让它走神。等觉察到自己似乎走神了，再顺其自然地把它拉回来。第二，分解和挑战。把要做的任务，分解成一个个小小的挑战，来挑战自己，让自己在设定的时间内把它完成。第三，休息和转移。做完一个小挑战之后，也不要让自己过于懈怠，避免让注意力转移到“被动担忧”上面，而是进行“主动休息”，比如读一点需要动脑子的资料，写一点工作复盘和记录，看一点需要动脑子的知识类视频或纪录片……通过这套方式，慢慢锻炼自己的注意力，强化自己主动掌控、管理注意力的能力，让自己更容易进入和维持“心流”。 四、空隙：高重要性 - 低时间耗用最后，是那些值得你去做、但是一直没有去做的事情，我把它比喻为瓶子里的空隙，也就是我们可以想办法去填满的部分。这些事情包括什么呢？可能是学习一门语言，学习一项技能，读一本大部头的书，开始写作或做 vlog，完成一项旷日持久的项目……它们可能在你的待办清单上面待了很久，但始终没有迈出第一步。但是，如果你一直不去做，那么这些空隙就会慢慢地被“水”填满，从而，抢占你本应去实现自己、追求成长和更高成就的可能性。一定不要让这些空隙，白白地被低价值、低重要性的“水”给占据。你可以拎出一件最感兴趣、最有动力的事情，把它进行分解，让自己先尽快迈出第一步。再把它变成一个日常仪式，安排、“嵌入”到每天的日程里面。如果你想写作，那么可以定一个时间——比如每天洗澡后，拿起手机随便写一两百字，哪怕只是记录下心情也好。如果你想读书，那么可以把它放在书桌上，每天睡觉前做完别的事情之后，随手翻上一两页，不用追求“读到了什么”，哪怕是帮自己摆脱“它很难读”的心理负担也好。诸如此类。想办法把时间和精力，转移到这些事情上面，一步步去试着主动地填满这些空隙。这可以让你感到，你正在紧紧地掌控着自己的生活。 五、提高生活掌控感，四点建议下面，再分享几个简单的建议，帮助你提高对生活的掌控感。1.记录每天开心和焦虑的事情。这种方式叫做表达性写作，在心理学上，已经有非常多的研究，证明了它的有效性。比如：书写让自己感到焦虑和烦躁的事情，真实地抒发对它们的感受和想法，有利于摆脱这种负面情绪。 记录下「今天我最感恩的事」，可以非常有效地减少压力、改善情绪状态、提升幸福感。 表达性写作可以起到疗愈的作用，让个体从创伤和情绪剧变中更快地得到缓解和恢复。 ……不需要很复杂，不需要遵循什么模板或流程，只要忠实地记录下事件、情绪和分析就可以。比如：今天发生了一件什么样的事情？这件事让我产生什么样的情绪？为什么我会产生这样的情绪？不需要把写作看得很麻烦，实际上只要简单两句话就行了。这样做的目的，在于把自己的情绪和想法释放出来，避免它们堆积在脑海中，争抢我们的认知资源，对我们的思维造成负担。这可以帮助你轻装上阵，避免负面情绪对我们造成影响。2.跟朋友建立更多的联系不要忘记，人永远是社会性的动物。因此，我们总是可以通过从社会联系中汲取力量，获得疗愈。实际上，这几年在疫情的大背景下，催生出了许多关于社交隔离和孤独感的研究。这些研究基本都发现：长时间的社交隔离会对大脑造成不可逆的损害；反之，建立正向的、积极的社交联系，可以有效抵消个体的负面情绪和压力，为生活提供动力。当然，在疫情的当下，要进行线下社交可能不太容易。但是我们可以通过线上的社交来替代。最简单的方式，就是多跟朋友交流。聊一聊近况，聊一聊彼此的生活、工作，聊一聊最近看了什么有趣的书和电影，做了什么有趣的事情，分享一下彼此的成果、进展，以及生活中值得开心的事情。另一种方式，是跟朋友们一起做一些同步的活动。举几个简单的例子：一起读同一本书，然后定期交流想法和心得；一起在线上针对一个话题进行交流，然后做成播客；一起玩一玩线上游戏，最好是需要动脑思考、动嘴交流的游戏；一起跟着同一个教程学技能、做一些手工制品，然后一起分享和交流……这可以成为你对抗焦虑和恐惧的不竭动力。3.关注自己的身体状态我在很多文章里都讲过：我们的意识，包括我们的自尊、自信和激情在内，其实都不仅仅受大脑的影响，还受什么影响呢？我们的身体。神经科学家 Antonio Damasio认为：我们的身体会不断综合肌肉和骨骼的状态，获取全身运动能力的信息，这些信息会构成我们对“自己能做什么”的内在认知。而这种内在认知，会在很大程度上影响我们的自信心和自尊心。因此，Damasio认为：如果一个人缺乏锻炼，导致他身体孱弱、不够健康，那么这种状态可能会造成压力、焦虑和低自尊——而这是无法通过思考和心理的调整来弥补的。相当于说，它决定了你心理状态的上限。所以，一个具备更佳身体状态的人，在面对压力和挑战时，总是能够比一个状态不佳的人，拥有更强的主动性、进取心、自信心，以及毫不懈怠的毅力。一个有效的建议是：关注自己的身体状态，每天都通过适当的饮食、作息和锻炼来不断优化它。与此同时，多开启你的感官，去感受自己身体的变化，感受自己变得更加轻盈、更加敏捷、更加强壮的体验。这可以不断提高你的自信，让你有更充足的勇气去对抗不确定性。4.找到一个有趣的爱好并坚持我在之前的文章里提到过：想办法去为自己，找到一个心灵的后花园。简单来说，就是培养一个你愿意投入时间去做、跟主业区分开来、同时你做得也不错的兴趣爱好，把它作为一种休息和放松的方式。随便举几个例子：如果你喜欢读小说、看故事，不妨试着学习一下文学创作，试着动手写一点故事；如果你喜欢钻研工具和工作流，不妨动手学一下编程，给自己写一些插件或脚本；如果你喜欢与人交流，不妨试着运营一个账号，分享一些感兴趣的内容，或是做一做社群；如果你有旺盛的好奇心，不妨试着多涉猎几个不同的领域，学习一些平时可能用不上的知识；如果你喜欢做手工，不妨学一学咖啡、烹饪、烘焙、刺绣……心理学家 Steven Cole认为：对抗无处不在的压力的最好方式，就是找到能够为自己提供幸福感的事物。你看重的东西，可以压倒你害怕的东西。简单来说：当你从某些活动中获取幸福感时，你的腹侧纹状体会激活，从而抑制杏仁核，降低皮质醇分泌，降低应激反应。因此，如果你目前还没有一个能够依赖的后花园，不妨花一点时间去探索世界，接触一些平时接触不到的事情，从中找到可以去尝试的方向。这才是让你拥有对抗虚无和压力的激情来源。 六、总结最后，总结一下。沙子，通过设置日常惯例和仪式来提供控制感。水，通过设置时间边界来避免焦虑感。石块，通过专注和心流来提供成就感。空隙，通过见缝插针去做来提供幸福感。希望今天的文章，能够为你提供一点启发和动力。也为上海等地以及全国其他城市防控疫情的朋友们祝福。愿疫情早日过去，大家早日恢复正常生活。大家一起加油！

01:04 Breaking the Myth: Genetics are not like rocks and the DNA laid down at birth does not necessarily affect you every single day of your life. Whatever genes you got when you were born are neither necessarily what you're keeping until the day you die nor are the genes that determine the day you'll die.   02:03 We change a lot more than we're aware of. Every day, billions of our cells die and are reproduced. We are constantly rebuilt leaving us vulnerable to the influences of the environment around us.   02:46 Epigenetics is all about activating and deactivating genes that we already have encoded in our DNA in the process of constant self-regeneration. The world we live in and the life we live play roles in that process.   04:31 Diseases don't lie by and large in the DNA that we inherited but mostly on which of those genes are turned on and off in a person's life.   05:21 Our food, exercise, degree of stress, chemicals in our environment - everything - influences which genes are turned on or off.   11:30 An immune system in a pretty clean world tends to be over exuberant over the slightest provocations. This translates to the immune system being programmed to make more inflammation - which is great at protecting us from wound injuries but also a lot of other side effects which lead to today's diseases.   13:09 Every piece of permeability and plasticity that we have can also be turned for good. We're not cursed by the DNA that our parents gave us. That stuff is there as a menu of options, but which recipe we order out of that menu is up to us. That's something we can actually control.   15:47 Our DNAs are not strictly 100% identical to your DNA. But genetics is not a blackbox. Who you are right is a byproduct of your DNA, to some extent, but even moreso, your DNA working through your life experiences.   17:51 Vertical Transmission: Who you are today are also influenced to some extent by the life circumstances inhabited by your parents.   19:46 Methylation: Rendering a DNA deaf from incoming information to "turn off" a gene.   24:57 The life we live and circumstances we inhabit shape the way molecular biology of our bodies work and translates into a difference in the likelihood or speed of a disease.   28:04 Eudaimonic Happiness: Helps people stay healthy even though they're confronting adverse life circumstances. The kind of happiness that comes from doing something good or important. People with a higher sense of purpose and engagement have shown good gene profiles.

How does a church keep from going off course? What kind of shepherd/pastor is needed, and how should this individual lead and teach? Thank you, Andy. We do trust in God's timing, but we do believe we're in the final season of the pastoral search. So we felt it is appropriate in this final season to prepare for the calling and the coming of the next lead pastor; prepare, even as we look at the word through the next couple months in our sermon time. Specifically, we are going to be working through some select texts that Paul writes to Timothy in first and second Timothy, that speak to what is it that we should be looking for and expecting in an elder, a pastor. It applies to really all levels of leadership. In one way it's a definition of spiritual maturity. So it applies to all of us who follow Christ, but it has very definite, specific application to what we're looking for in the lead pastor. And so today, if you have your Bibles, I will take the first of those sections, which is in First Timothy, chapter one. I want to begin with just something that caught my my eye over the last year. Maybe you remember back in March, you remember in the news this cargo ship that got caught in the Suez Canal. This cargo ship is called the Evergreen. It's one of the largest container ships on the on the oceans. Literally its length is skyscraper-like, that's how long it is. And somehow as it's making its way through the Suez Canal it got turned. So it was almost perpendicular to the canal, the direction of the canal. It got stuck in the side of the canal. And for five days they puzzled on how are they going to get this unstuck? It was a problem, of course, not only for the container ship, but for all the ships that were coming through the Suez Canal behind it. Over those five days three hundred and sixty ships backed up behind the the evergreen, waiting for it to get unstuck. It literally costs billions of dollars and lost time of the shipment of goods, all because somehow - it's still under investigation. Somehow this ship got off course. Well, we have an example of this closer to home. The last year, I believe it was last July up in Duluth. Maybe you recognize the Duluth lift bridge there. There was a ship that similarly going through the Duluth Lift Bridge on its way out of the harbor in Duluth, out into Lake Superior, got stuck. It's the Presque Isle. I've seen that ship. It's one of the largest ships on the Great Lakes. This is a ship that has gone through this passage many, many times. But again, for some reason, this ship got turned slightly and got stuck against the breakwall for a period of time. Again, not only stalling its progress, but backing up ships behind it. And again, not all the details have not been disclosed, but I think it would be very easy to say that, like the Evergreen, the Presque Isle got off course. So I've been thinking about that image, that metaphor of getting off course. It really is a picture of what what Paul is warning Timothy about. Now, he is writing specifically about the situation in the church of Ephesus, but he could be writing to Calvary. So what is true of what is happening in Ephesus very well could be true of what's happening in Calvary or if you're visiting from another church, your church. This is really a threat both then and now. It is the threat like you see on the screen of churches going off course. And while there's many ways churches could go off course, probably the most fundamental, the most dangerous is churches going off course in their teaching. Why is this so important at this season? Because as we evaluate candidates for our next lead pastor, while that's not the only teaching role here at Calvary - there's others who teach from the pulpit, there's others who teach from from our adult Bible communities and in small groups and in other settings - this is a significant role. And the selection of a man who is at least going to be up here a majority of the time and the way that he will direct the ship of Calvary, so to speak, through its teaching, through its doctrine, if that gets off course, it presents a real danger to Calvary and, you know, if you wonder if that's just an idle warning; No, I mean, we look at churches all around us today, even in our Rochester community, that years ago were perhaps on course that have become for various reasons off course and a ship getting off course has ramifications that affect many a church getting off course. And it's teaching has ramifications that that affect many. So let's look a little bit about how Paul addresses this with Timothy. We open verse three. I urge you, Paul writes, I urge you, Timothy, when I went to Macedonia, remain in Ephesus. Let me just give you a little bit of a background context. Again, this could be written to Calvary. Ephesus was a church in a city, much like Calvary is here in Rochester. It was it was an area where because of its location on the eastern shores of the Aegean Sea, the western boundary of Asia Minor, it was an important place. It drew lots of people. It drew lots of intelligentsia. You know, Rochester certainly with the Mayo Clinic and and IBM and all the rest that goes along with that draws that same kind of people. Paul planted a church there, probably in the early 50s of the first century. We're not exactly sure there. It was on his second missionary journey. You can read about that in Acts 16, 17 and 18. And planning that church he spent almost three years there preaching and teaching, and then he moves on, moves on because there's other errands, specifically he is going to gather a collection for the poor, the people who are suffering in Jerusalem. He goes over to Macedonia on the other side of the Aegean Sea to collect that. And he leaves Timothy, his young protégé, a young new pastor, somewhat green, inexperienced pastor in charge there, in Ephesus. But what he hears in the years that pass concern him. What he hears as we'll see is a ship, a church, getting off course. So we see that as we go on here in verse three, he wants Timothy to stand fast there in Ephesus, stay in the church, stay in that helm. Why? So that you may command certain people not to teach other doctrine. We don't have a lot of explanation - there's actually very little explanation in scripture of what's going on here - but I think we can make some reasonable assumptions. Who are these certain other people? Acts 20 records what he speaks to elders in Ephesus. So the leaders of the church sometime later, based on what's happening, we read in Acts 20 what he is concerned about going on in the church. And I think it helps us identify who these certain people are who are teaching different doctrine. He writes Acts twenty. I know that after my departure, fierce wolves will come in among you. There would be people he was concerned about who would come in to the church from the outside and maybe they presented themselves as believers and yet they had a motive. They had a motive actually not to serve the sheep, to feed the sheep, but to prey upon the sheep, to take advantage of the sheep. And he says to the Ephesian elders in Acts 20, it's not only those coming in from the outside that he was concerned about. He goes on to say, even from among you, from within the church in other words, some will arise teaching perversions of the truth to draw away the disciples after them. He knew that there would be people who who grew up in the church who were saved through the church, who for some, you know, based upon different complexities of motivations, would become wolves who who rose up from within and would teach perversion of the truth, would teach different doctrine. Why? To draw off a following after them. So I think that's what we see here in First Timothy 1:3 - other doctrine. Some of your versions, if you have a different version, may translate that as different doctrine as strange doctrine, as false doctrine. It's teaching. It's truth that is other than what Jesus and the apostles taught, that we have in the New Testament. What kind of false teaching was he learning about that they were teaching in Ephesus. We read that in verse four: myths and endless genealogies. Now there are some particularities to that setting that may not apply specifically, but there are principles here that I think we need to be on guard against here at Calvary. What is a myth? A myth is basically the invention of the human mind. You might think of Greek mythology. Human minds made made up those stories of of Greek mythology. The myth here would describe the nature of any false teaching, anything that draws from human ideas rather than divine revelation, anything that draws from human perspectives rather than God's perspective represented in his word would qualify as a myth. He speaks about genealogies here. Again, we don't have a lot of detail, but there are genealogies of the patriarchs in the Old Testament. They had the Old Testament at that point. And what we believe was probably happening is that these teachers were starting with these genealogies. They were picking names of people identified in those genealogies and developing legends around them, developing allegorical interpretations from which they claim there was truth, that is authoritative. But again, it was mythical. It was the invention of their minds. It may have started with a real name in the scripture, but what they did with that name was certainly mythic. And Paul says that these are endless. In other words, it's their speculations without limits, without any biblical boundaries. And that would really, I think, be the principle here. How do we know when when this teaching when teaching is false? Here's what's common to all false teaching. It goes beyond what the Bible teaches. It goes out into human inventions brought in to scripture in some way. Well, how do we see that today? In lots of ways that we see it today. Let me just mention three that I see all around us. I see under the broad tent of evangelicalism, this is by no means an exclusive list. There's a teaching that goes on in many churches today where we're some who are teaching would claim that they have an authoritative word. And what I mean by that is they claim to hear some direct revelation from God that goes beyond what is said in the scripture. And they claim to be able to give that and teach that as authority, that you should be bound by what they believe God has personally, directly revealed to them. And that happens. That happens certainly in certain areas of evangelicalism. But I hear it popping up more and more. Even even somebody saying something as simple as God told me that can drift into that idea of somebody claiming to have an authoritative word that is beyond what scripture says. Well we see this kind of thing, I think in those who Samuel Davies says it like this, who lose the fundamentals in the nonessentials. The fundamentals, as we'll get to in a minute, is the gospel, is the saving truth. The nonessentials are things that are out on the periphery that may come from scripture, but to elevate a non essential to become the fundamental, the the highest priority can get a church off course. We see this as well as those who mix the word with current philosophies and with political affiliations. You get current philosophies, as I do, from the world around you. Every day we are inundated with the worldly philosophies about how we should think about human sexuality. And there are many teachers today who are mixing in those current philosophies of human sexuality with scripture, mixing it in and teaching it as authoritative and it is a different doctrine. It goes apart from what God has designed. You and I are inundated every day with with with human philosophies about race. And there are many who are teaching, taking secular, worldly philosophies about how we should think about race and mixing that in with what they claim to be biblical teaching. And that, too, is leading many churches astray. And then political affiliations, any time that a teacher takes and claims to teach from the word of God and steers that in one direction or another, attaches it with one political party or another, regardless of where it is on the spectrum. They're doing this. They're teaching a different doctrine because they are mixing it with something that goes beyond what scripture has to say. Well, how does this kind of teaching and there be many more forms that we could we could talk about if we were in discussion about this, how does this kind of false teaching pull a church off course just like those ships got off course? Well, we we see this in the second part of verse four. These promote empty speculation. What is a speculation? A speculation is basically a theory. It's opinion. It's something that we reach by our own conjecture. Let me give you one example of of of a speculation that that made it to prime time in the evangelical world. It's been a few years, but you may remember a number of years ago, not so long ago, there was a book that became a bestseller. It was called the Bible Code. The Bible code was a book written by an Israeli mathematician. And what he claimed to be able to do is to decode the Bible and with the use of computers and mathematical formulas he claimed to run all of the Bible through this computer using these mathematical formulas. And he claimed that, as you did, that the mathematics revealed three thousand year old prophetic events that were that that nobody's ever seen in scripture before. He claimed that these mathematical formulas running the Old Testament prophecies through them clearly predicted the Kennedy assassination, the moon landing, the election of Bill Clinton and many others. That's pure speculation. You know, no man, no matter how good you are at mathematics, when when you create some kind of system like that that goes beyond scripture, that claims to read into scripture, something that has never been seen before, that's empty speculation. And Paul warns about anything, whether it's the use of mathematics, nothing wrong with mathematics, but the use of anything that would be speculation that goes beyond what God has given us in his his word. There genealogical myths were nothing more than human speculation, taking a name and a genealogy and making some legend around it or spinning some allegory around it. Instead these lead us away from rather than going straight through the channel. What they lead us away from is God's plan. God's plan here or as some of your versions may say God's administration that refers to God's method of saving us from our sin. This is the gospel, the gospel that we are sinful, rebellious creatures and we are lost and we are perishing. And God does for us what we cannot do for ourselves. God reaches into the darkness, out of his mercy and by his grace. And he brings us the light of Christ, the son of God, the perfectly righteous one, the one who, because he is the only perfectly righteous one, is able to die in our place, died in our place, taking upon himself all human sinfulness and bringing us forgiveness and bringing us new life and filling us with the Holy Spirit as we put our faith in him. Any teaching that that takes us off course from the Gospel is exactly what's warned about here. Why is this so relevant? It's certainly relevant as we think about selecting those who teach. But I think why is it that we're even here? I had a striking event happen on Friday. I was in my apartment. I was coming home to my apartment and the elevator was blocked off. But the elevator doors open and there's policemen in there and they had one of those carts and there's a body on the cart. And as it turns out, as I learned later, that a neighbor, someone I didn't know well, but enough to wave on had a drug overdose and died. And I know this kind of thing happens all around us, but when you see it so close, it just reminds you of the reality of the world that we live in, that people are perishing, people are perishing all around us. People are perishing in our families. People who are neighbors are perishing. Those are people - I don't know for sure this individual. But but those are people who are in all likelihood, are perishing eternally, are perishing because they have not heard God's plan. They're perishing because they have not received the gospel. So any church that gets off course, whether it's the Bible code or whatever way they get off course and racial issues or in gender issues or whatever it may be, is like that ship, those ships crashing into the side rather than going straight through. People need the church to be going straight through the channel, to be changed by the gospel ourselves and to be taking the gospel out into the world, to our neighbors and to our family members who are lost. Saving faith is based upon the historical truth of the gospel. It's not based on speculation. Saving faith is revealed by divine revelation, not by some code, not by some invention, some fable, some allegory. So teaching that does not point us to God's redemptive plan, it takes us off course as a church. You see why it is so essential that in our selection of anyone who fills this role in the pulpit, but as well as any other teaching role at Calvary, why it is so essential that it is someone who teaches the word and teaches the apostolic doctrine of the Christian faith. And actually to not do that, to go astray in one of these ways. Again, that not only keeps the church from making forward progress in its mission, but it holds everyone back as well. So what kind of teaching what kind of preaching keeps a church on course? Paul speaks to that in verse five when when he writes the goal of our instruction. What instruction is he talking about? He's certainly talking about his teaching. He's certainly talking about Timothy's teaching, but he's talking about all our teaching. He's talking about what should come from this pulpit here at Calvary. He's talking about the kind of instruction that should come from our adult Bible communities. He's talking about the kind of instruction that should come from your home small group, the goal of our instruction. Why is it that you sit and you listen to to somebody preach or teach? Why is it that you participate in a small group Bible study? What is the goal? The goal is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Here's the standard that we should be applying not just to our pastoral search, but to how we look at anyone who's going to have a teaching role here at Calvary. And this has become, for me, one of my life verses as God has called me into pastoral ministry. Why? Because it goes beyond even the content of what we teach to my motives, to what is in my heart. So what is the motive? What's central to the motive that should be in all of our teaching? Well, you see it, there - it is love. It is love. And I know that term is overused and I know the definition of that word is is stretched beyond all limits by our culture today. But we know what that says. We know what Jesus taught us in Matthew 22. He teaches us it's about loving God and it's about loving your neighbor. We encompass that in our mission here at Calvary. Why is it that we make Disciples of Jesus, we make disciples of Jesus who are going to live out their faith in Passion for Christ. That's the love for God. And compassion for people. That's love for people. You know, when I came and I began my interviewing as part of my transitional role here and I interviewed many of you, one of the phrases that I heard over and over again is well Calvary loves a deep teaching. And I believe what was meant by that is Calvary loves preaching and teaching that gets deep into scripture. And that is a good thing as long as it's not an end in itself. If deep biblical teaching is an end in itself, we just want to fill our minds with more and more knowledge of scripture. That can get us off course. Filling our minds deep teaching is a means to an end. But here's the end. The end is is love and is the character of Jesus Christ being reproduced in our lives. The end of deep teaching, of filling our minds with biblical knowledge is a growing love for God, Passion for Christ, and a growing love for people, compassion for people. How does this love grow? It grows first of all, from a pure heart and again, you can hear this and you can just apply this to what we should look for in our next lead Pastor. I take it beyond that, this is what should be the standard for anyone in any leadership role at Calvary. This really, because it's a definition of Christian maturity, should be what we all aspire to. So it speaks to us on each of these levels. A pure heart. Our heart is where our attitudes are formed. It's it's where our motives are developed. It's where our priorities are shaped. So think about that. What does it mean to have a pure heart? None of us has a pure heart. Our hearts are washed by salvation when we come to Christ. But our hearts live in the world and our hearts are polluted by our own flesh. So we need the continual cleansing. We need to continually cleanse our selfish attitudes and our selfish motives and our selfish priorities by the word. We're looking for a lead pastor who models that. What is it to be real about who we are as people in this fallen world, as people still with the flesh at war with the spirit in us? We need our leaders to model this, but we each need to be growing in this to, that continual cleansing of the world, not just from a pure heart, but love from a good conscience. I think you have a sense of what conscience is. It is that inner sense that lives in your head that says this is right and this is wrong and our conscience is really polluted by the world until we come to Christ. But as we come to Christ, Paul tells us in Romans chapter two that God's law written on our hearts becomes the voice that either accuses us - you've gone astray, or it teaches us that we're doing right. So what does it mean for our lead pastor and our leaders and all of us as we grow in Christ to have a good conscience? Well, again, I think as we think about how this applies to all of us, it means that when my conscience is marred by sin. First of all, I'm to deal with that immediately before God through confession. But it also means that when I have sinned against someone else or offended someone else, I'm to address that through the immediate confession of sin. This is certainly true of who we're looking for in our next lead pastor. But this is true of every one of us who claims to follow Christ. From a sincere faith. Sincere means, genuine, sincere means without hypocrisy. It means without any pretense. But I think there's something more here. You know, when I began preaching, at least when you begin to preach as a young man, there's an initial excitement, wow, I got people's attention and and they're listening to me. It doesn't take very long of doing it before you realize I have nothing to say. I have nothing of value worth listening to. In fact, if I don't believe what it is that I am representing from this word, I would better serve this congregation by closing my mouth and sitting down. And so what does it mean to have to have a sincere faith? It means that it is more than a competency to present the word. It is a conviction that this word actually changes and transforms as the Holy Spirit uses it. And that's true of all of us. We need to not only be men and women who know the word as we follow Jesus, we need to be men and women who actively believe the promises and the principles of the Bible. And we believe them so much that we are willing to act on them. That's what we need in the man who fills this pulpit. And so we need in anyone who teaches in any setting, that's what we each need to grow in our own lives. You know, when the Evergreen and the Presque Isle, when they went off course, two things happened. They stopped going forward. No more forward progress. And they blocked everything behind it. They blocked the progress of any other ships. And to have a teacher who is teaching different doctrine, have a teacher who is really a wolf, who is really in it for themselves and what they can get out of it, that causes the church to go off course to stop making progress in its mission to impede anybody else from making progress. We see a little bit of that in verse six. When they deviate from these, when they deviate from love, from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith, they turn aside to fruitless discussion. I like how some versions translate useless or fruitless discussion, useless talk, empty arguments. How often do we in the church get caught up in arguments that really are useless, that are vain? They they don't advance the course. They get us off course. Steven Cole says we in the church often get caught up with the trivial and we neglect the crucial, the gospel. We argue finer points of theology, but then we shred relationships. We focus on knowing the Bible, but we forget that the goal of knowing the Bible is to change our lives and not just to fill our heads. Fruitless. Maybe the thing that we should ask for before we get caught on that into that next deep theological argument is, is this discussion, is it actually producing fruit? Is it edifying? Is it helping people grow more and more into the character of Christ or instead of producing fruit, does it have the tendency to produce thorns and make us more thorny, argumentative people? The goal of our instruction and what we're looking for in our next lead pastor and what we seek for all of our teaching forms at Calvary and what each of us seek as we grow in following Christ, the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. What does this mean as we look for our next lead pastor? What does this mean to apply this as we think about what you and I, what we expect in our next lead Pastor? What's most important as we evaluate what our next pastor - who he is and what he is like? What does this mean as we identify and raise up future leaders here at Calvary and bringing it home individually, how does it shape us in how we believe that Christ is calling us to grow? I want to close. I want to pray two scriptures that just really have impressed upon me as I think about not just our pastoral search, but the growth and the maturity of our body together and individually. Let me pray, Lord, you brought Hebrews 4:12 to mind that your word Calvary claims to love your word, Lord. Your word you say is living and it is active and in the hands of your Holy Spirit. It is sharper than any two edged sword, that it pierces to the very heart of us. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. That's what we need, Lord. We each need that that ongoing heart surgery. Those who are here yet, who don't know you as savior and Lord Jesus, they need the word piercing you piercing into the darkness of their lives and bringing the light of the gospel. Those of us who that has happened, Lord, we need that ongoing conviction and that ongoing transforming work, your sanctifying work in our lives. That happens as we listen to your word, as we hear your word taught, as your Holy Spirit presses it in. And then, Lord, you brought to my mind Romans 1:16. The Gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes. What it means to be going straight through the channel Lord is to focus on the gospel, to have our teaching not get caught up in abstract arguments, certainly not in human speculations, but our teaching to continue to lead us back to the Gospel, to lead people to the foot of the cross. My neighbor needed that Lord. Every one of us here can think of people in our lives who need that. We need that. So we pray, Lord, as we search for the next lead pastor, we pray as we think about the future of Calvary. We pray as each of us, Lord, contemplate what does it mean to follow you faithfully and allow your spirit to continue your transforming work in our lives? Let your word driven and empowered by your spirit, change us and transform us and make us more like Christ. We pray in your name. Jesus. Amen.

05/19/2018 Morning Service – “The Unfathomable Riches Of Christ” by Steven Cole. Ephesians 3:8 The post The Unfathomable Riches Of Christ – Steven Cole (Ephesians 3:8) appeared first on Faith Community Church, Vacaville, CA.

Steve Cole is a cartographer and photographer of old growth forests. He has been documenting public land timber sales on the Umpqua, mostly sales stopped by Umpqua Watersheds in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Steve has a remarkable website documenting this work: umpquaLSOGproject.org. Steve’s site is a celebration of what good work we all did back then, including the brave activists that sat in trees to protect them. I recently rode with Steve as he visited two of those sales, the Snog sale (1999, on the Diamond Lake RD), and the White Castle sale (2014, Roseburg BLM). We also visited BLM’s Sugar Pine sale (1997, near Tiller), and a newer project where we failed to save the old growth: Lone Rock Timber’s new road through a BLM forest near Susan Creek. I recorded Steve’s impressions as we drove, so there is a different sound to this interview.Steve also details how he uses a drone to take videos and other photographic techniques, as well as how he made the carbon maps on his web site.The website where it is all at is: umpquaLSOGproject.org. Until Steve gets it all up on his website, other pictures of the timber sales we visited are here:Snog: https://flic.kr/s/aHskeBcu3eWhite Castle:https://flic.kr/s/aHsmqZvGNJLone Rock Timber logging BLM old growth: https://flic.kr/s/aHskvJ7H4QOlder footage of the White Castle tree sit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VukPXLzSACg
