Mustard Seed Thoughts: Pray For Me
ChristWeb.com : Mustard Seed Thoughts
Pray For Me
They said to Samuel, �Do not stop crying out to the Lord our God for us, that He may rescue us from the hand of the Philistines.� 1 Samuel 7:8 NIV
It never fails, does it? They always get around to calling on the Lord! Oh, it's easy to forget Him when things are good, but let a little storm come, let a rock get in the saddle, let the bills start to pile up... well, you get the idea! When the going gets tough, people realize they need the Lord.
I have always found this interesting. As a habit, when someone tells me about their problems, I respond by saying, �Well, I'll pray for you.� Often, I stop right there and pray. Do you know what? Not one person has ever told me not to.
No one has ever said, �Don't pray for me� or �I don't need your prayers.� No one turns away an opportunity to be lifted up, not even those with little or no faith in the power of prayer.
In the verse above, the people are asking Samuel to intercede. Sure, the y have drifted from their commitment from time to time. They have turned away from the Lord and followed other �gods.� They have forgotten the deliverance of God in their lives. (I'm quite sure you and I never have.)
But, then the Philistines come. They're big. They're bad. �We haven�t seen anything like these guys before! We�d better call upon the name of the Lord!� You've been there, and so have I.
But shouldn't we call on Him in the good times as well? Aren't you glad He is still there when we do?

=========================== TODAY'S ARTICLE ==========================
What We Have Seen and Heard, by Patrick D. Odum
Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or
teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John replied,
"Which is right in God's eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be
the judges! As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have
seen and heard" (Acts 4:18-20 TNIV).
Rick Warren, the senior pastor of what might be America's best-known
church, the Saddleback church, was asked to lead the invocation at
President Obama's inauguration this week. Warren's prayer was probably
about what could reasonably have been expected from an evangelical
pastor. It was an unabashedly Christian prayer in which Warren invoked
the name of Jesus at least four times, and closed with the Lord's
Prayer.
Predictably, some people are horrified that a Christian pastor would
pray a Christian prayer.
Steve Chapman, a columnist for The Chicago Tribune, wrote this in his
online blog of January 21st:
If I were a Christian, I'd have been embarrassed by Rick Warren's
invocation at the Inauguration. It was aggressively evangelical,
serving to exclude everyone who doesn't accept the divinity of
Jesus. He seemed to think he was at a revival rather than a secular
event meant for all -- in a country whose constitution rejects
official sponsorship of any faith.
Mr. Chapman isn't a Christian. He is, in his words "not persuaded of
the existence of the Almighty." He goes on to write, after his
criticism of Warren, of his feeling of gratification that President
Obama included a reference to "nonbelievers" alongside "Christians and
Muslims, Jews and Hindus" in his address, pointing out that he is
probably the first President to expressly mention atheists as making up
part of the nation. He ends his post by writing, "I can only be
grateful to Obama for reminding his audience -- including Rick Warren
-- that nonbelievers are Americans, too."
Mr. Chapman's post is another entry in the ongoing debate that arises
out of the diversity of America. The framers of our Constitution never
envisioned a country of "Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and
nonbelievers." The clause against the formal establishment of an
official religion seems to have been part of an effort to keep the new
country from inheriting the Protestant/Catholic wars of Europe. It's at
best debatable that the clause was ever intended to obliterate all
traces of religion in the public life of the nation. But with
immigrants from all over the world coming to America -- and bringing
their faiths, or lack thereof, with them -- religion in American life
has become increasingly complicated. The recent past demonstrates an
approach that acknowledges a sort of civic, "God bless America" kind of
religion. It acknowledges that faith is important to many of us, and
lets us speak of that faith publicly as long as we do so in agreeably
non-specific terms.
Warren's sin is that he got too specific.
Of course, in asking Warren to lead the invocation and taking in
atheists with his address, President Obama might have signaled an
adjustment in approach. As glad as Mr. Chapman is that atheists were
recognized as Americans, I'm at least that gratified that President
Obama included evangelical Christians. As highly as Mr. Chapman values
his rights as an American to speak out as an atheist, I value my right
to speak out as a believer in Jesus.
If President Obama had asked a Muslim cleric to lead the invocation, no
one should have been surprised to hear that prayer addressed to Allah.
And no one should have been surprised that an evangelical Christian
would invoke the name of Jesus. More than a right given by the
Constitution, speaking in the name of Jesus is an obligation that
springs from who a believer in Jesus is. He claimed to be the salvation
of the world, and embedded in the gospel is a mandate to tell the story
to the world. A Christian literally bears the name of Jesus, and to
speak of who we are is unavoidably to speak of who he is.
Mr. Chapman is understandably comfortable speaking of a "secular"
sphere as opposed to a "sacred" one, because for him there is only a
secular sphere. It's more problematic for a Christian to speak in such
terms, because for us there is only a sacred one. Jesus stakes a claim
to our whole lives; "No one can serve two masters," he reminds us. And
so it would have felt like a betrayal of his faith for Rick Warren to
pray at the Inauguration in any way other than in Jesus' name. What for
Mr. Chapman was a "secular" event was for Christians a sacred one,
because the questions we should be asking at every event and every turn
of our lives is, "What is God up to here?" and "What is my part in it?"
In a regime which did not allow freedom of religious expression, Peter
and John found themselves forced to ignore an official gag order:
"Which is right in God's eyes: to listen to you, or to him? ... As for
us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard." And the
fact is that even in a country that allows freedom of religion, we'll
sometimes be called to follow in their footsteps. Our conviction will
at times, for various reasons, make people uncomfortable. We will
occasionally be accused of intolerance, that most unforgivable of
American sins. There will be times in our lives when we'll be asked to
be quiet, or even instructed not to speak anymore in the name of Jesus.
When that happens, as politely and gently and humbly as possible, we'll
have to say along with our spiritual forbears "We cannot help speaking
about what we have seen and heard."
Don't get me wrong: we mustn't be jerks. There's no Christian calling
to bigotry or hatred or intolerance of different beliefs and points of
view. We'll want to choose our words carefully, mindful of context and
situation. There may well be times when we'll suggest that it might be
more appropriate to finish a conversation at a later time. But, neither
should we pretend to be something we're not, or pretend not to be
something we are. If we're believers in Christ, then not speaking about
him is really not an option.
Not speaking about him is really not an option.
That's not because I feel like I have more right than Mr. Chapman to
force my opinion on others, or because I feel that the President should
favor Christians over atheists. It's not about my national identity at
all -- it's about who I am in Christ. It's about the fact that "the
life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved
me and gave himself for me" (Galatians 2:20).
I cannot help speaking about what I have seen and heard.
Sorry, Mr. Chapman.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For further reflection -- from the editor Phil Ware:
For an interesting take on the whole issue of civil public discourse on
faith, one of the great intellects for faith and believing is Os
Guinness. Check out his OP Ed piece in USA Today: Faith and
Inauguration.
For an example of how this was done by the earliest believers, check
out the apostle Paul before the philosophers in Athens and note that he
quotes their own pagan philosophers and poets (Acts 17:16-34).
Let's not be ugly and pigheaded in the public square -- the Internet,
blogs, etc. -- but let's also not be afraid to share the reason for the
hope we have, doing it with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15-16).
I'd love for us to continue the discussion on my blog:

Morning & Evening -- Romans 8:12 and Song of Solomon 1:7
-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / Charles Spurgeon's MORNING & EVENING http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, February 3, 2009
MORNING:
"Therefore, brethren, we are debtors."
-- Romans 8:12
As God's creatures, we are all debtors to him: to obey him with all our
body, and soul, and strength. Having broken his commandments, as we all
have, we are debtors to his justice, and we owe to him a vast amount
which we are not able to pay. But of the Christian it can be said that
he does not owe God's justice anything, for Christ has paid the debt
his people owed; for this reason the believer owes the more to love. I
am a debtor to God's grace and forgiving mercy; but I am no debtor to
his justice, for he will never accuse me of a debt already paid. Christ
said, "It is finished!" and by that he meant, that whatever his people
owed was wiped away for ever from the book of remembrance. Christ, to
the uttermost, has satisfied divine justice; the account is settled;
the handwriting is nailed to the cross; the receipt is given, and we
are debtors to God's justice no longer. But then, because we are not
debtors to our Lord in that sense, we become ten times more debtors to
God than we should have been otherwise. Christian, pause and ponder for
a moment. What a debtor thou art to divine sovereignty! How much thou
owest to his disinterested love, for he gave his own Son that he might
die for thee. Consider how much you owe to his forgiving grace, that
after ten thousand affronts he loves you as infinitely as ever.
Consider what you owe to his power; how he has raised you from your
death in sin; how he has preserved your spiritual life; how he has kept
you from falling; and how, though a thousand enemies have beset your
path, you have been able to hold on your way. Consider what you owe to
his immutability. Though you have changed a thousand times, he has not
changed once. Thou art as deep in debt as thou canst be to every
attribute of God. To God thou owest thyself, and all thou hast-yield
thyself as a living sacrifice, it is but thy reasonable service.
EVENING:
"Tell me ... where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock
to rest at noon."
-- Song of Solomon 1:7
These words express the desire of the believer after Christ, and his
longing for present communion with him. Where doest thou feed thy
flock? In thy house? I will go, if I may find thee there. In private
prayer? Then I will pray without ceasing. In the Word? Then I will read
it diligently. In thine ordinances? Then I will walk in them with all
my heart. Tell me where thou feedest, for wherever thou standest as the
Shepherd, there will I lie down as a sheep; for none but thyself can
supply my need. I cannot be satisfied to be apart from thee. My soul
hungers and thirsts for the refreshment of thy presence. "Where dost
thou make thy flock to rest at noon?" for whether at dawn or at noon,
my only rest must be where thou art and thy beloved flock. My soul's
rest must be a grace-given rest, and can only be found in thee. Where
is the shadow of that rock? Why should I not repose beneath it? "Why
should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?"
Thou hast companions-why should I not be one? Satan tells me I am
unworthy; but I always was unworthy, and yet thou hast long loved me;
and therefore my unworthiness cannot be a bar to my having fellowship
with thee now. It is true I am weak in faith, and prone to fall, but my
very feebleness is the reason why I should always be where thou feedest
thy flock, that I may be strengthened, and preserved in safety beside
the still waters. Why should I turn aside? There is no reason why I
should, but there are a thousand reasons why I should not, for Jesus
beckons me to come. If he withdrew himself a little, it is but to make
me prize his presence more. Now that I am grieved and distressed at
being away from him, he will lead me yet again to that sheltered nook
where the lambs of his fold are sheltered from the burning sun.

My Utmost For His Highest : "The Recognized Ban Of Relationship"
-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST -- http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------
February 3, 2009
THE RECOGNIZED BAN OF RELATIONSHIP
We are made as the filth of the world.
1 Corinthians 4:9-13
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1co+4:9-13&sr=1
These words are not an exaggeration. The reason they are not true of
us who call ourselves ministers of the gospel is not that Paul forgot
the exact truth in using them, but that we have too many discreet
affinities to allow ourselves to be made refuse. "Filling up that
which is behind of the afflictions of Christ" is not an evidence of
sanctification, but of being "separated unto the gospel."
"Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try
you," says Peter. If we do think it strange concerning the things we
meet with, it is because we are craven-hearted. We have discreet
affinities that keep us out of the mire - I won't stoop, I won't
bend. You do not need to, you can be saved by the skin of your teeth
if you like; you can refuse to let God count you as one separated
unto the gospel. Or you may say - "I do not care if I am treated as
the offscouring of the earth as long as the Gospel is proclaimed." A
servant of Jesus Christ is one who is willing to go to martyrdom for
the reality of the gospel of God. When a merely moral man or woman
comes in contact with baseness and immorality and treachery, the
recoil is so desperately offensive to human goodness that the heart
shuts up in despair. The marvel of the Redemptive Reality of God is
that the worst and the vilest can never get to the bottom of His
love. Paul did not say that God separated him to show what a
wonderful man He could make of him, but "to reveal His Son in me."

FOR OUR GOOD
Romans 8:28-34
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Romans+8:28-34
Dear Father, who is totally "for-us,"
How wonderfully reassuring to know that in everything you work for
good with those who love you, who are called according to your
purpose.
Thank you that whom you foreknew you also predestined to be
conformed to the image of your Son, that he might be the first-born
among many brethren. Thank you that whom you predestined you also
called; those whom you called you also justified; and those whom
you justified you also glorified.
What can I say to all this? If you are for me, who can be against
me? If you did not spare your own Son but gave him up for us all,
will you not also give us all things with him? Who shall bring any
charge against your chosen people? Since you alone do the
justifying, who is to condemn?
In the name of Jesus and by his authority I come, asking for the
confirmation of the faith I have expressed here. Fill me with it
and let me walk according to your purposes. Amen.

WJD! -- Ministry to the Whole Person -- Matthew 4:23

Ministry to the Whole Person
Jesus went everywhere in the country of Galilee. Jesus taught
in the synagogues and told the Good News about the kingdom of
heaven. And Jesus healed all the people's diseases and
sicknesses.
-- Matthew 4:23 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Preaching, teaching and healing. Three key elements of authentic
ministry are (1) proclaiming the good news of God's Kingdom, (2)
teaching people how to live obediently to the will of God, and (3)
ministering to their brokenness with the grace and power of God. With
all the modern technologies we have today, we must always remember that
ministry involves these same three elements if it is to be authentic.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Almighty and compassionate Father, give me eyes to see and ears to hear
those who need your grace -- not just today, but every day. Help me to
be wise in the way that I offer that care so that I may minister to
their needs by your power and according to your will. In the name of
the Lord Jesus I pray. Amen.
