Do You Really Believe

That What You Believe
Is Really Real?


For June 29nd Zion Light

 

THE TRUTH PROJECT:

LESSON 12 Community & Involvement: God Cares, Do I?

Here we will have an opportunity to draw near to the Creator and learn what it is that has compelled Him to draw near to us.  We will find that the God of the Scriptures is in fact the Lord of the lonely, the Savior of the outcast, the Defender of the defenseless, and the Sustainer of all who find themselves in need.  Our call is to become like Him by discovering what it means to not only love Him, but to love our neighbor.

 

The final session of the 12 week Bible study be this Sunday from
1:30-3PM in the Youth Room.  Each session consists of viewing
a DVD followed by discussion led by Donna Bishop.  High School
age and up are welcome to attend.  Makeup sessions will be offered
on Wednesday, July 2nd at 6:30 PM in the Youth Room & will be led by Lisa Madigan.

Fire

There’s something about fire that mesmerizes us, attracts us, draws us in. Its raw power and energy has amazing potential to be used for good—to heat our homes, to give us light, to cook our food, create spaces where we tell stories and connect with each other—and also to destroy as it consumes whatever we throw into it. It’s untamed, we can’t understand it, and it carries the potential to break out into something so totally beyond us. It’s a thing of awe, a thing of terror, a thing of beauty and a thing that has often inspired worship.

Understanding where our uniqueness is from
 

We desire old, vintage, nostalgic things’ they’re things we want.  I love the look of old movie theaters, the smell of old books, the glimmer of classic cars, the design of old posters and the simplicity of a boy shooting his eye out in A Christmas Story.

Tracing our Roots:
Matthew 1: 1-17


What I came to realize though was that pedigree doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether the family line was broken or unbroken, and with most of us it’s usually a mixture of both. The heroes and villains, clerics and cattle thieves, political servants, prostitutes and outlaws, slave liberators and slave holders and indentured servants make up our checkered past. They spring from the same branch. Yet we're all family, we have to live together, and we have to get along.

Carrying the Stones of Remembrance

Some of the things about Celtic Christianity I’m really drawn to are their ideas about hospitality and community.  A good man or woman was a generous one, and laws of hospitality and generosity were not just valued, but made up the fabric of their culture.  Men and women were seen more as equals, valued.  If women could fight in battle then they could also be queens, or later abbesses (Brigid).  The Irish loved nature, and saw beauty in all of creation, whether on the moors, the rocky coastlines, the crashing sea, the green hills, the deep forests, or the sparkling lakes and wells.  Life was passionate, both in the bedroom and on the battlefield, and there was a frank honesty about sexuality and a thirst for knowledge.

Cleaning House

I
talked with a friend this week about an opportunity she had to help a guy clean his house.  It may not sound that monumental, except his house hadn’t been cleaned for SEVEN years.  Something had happened, and his life as he had known it ended.  Maybe something died, or shut down, but stuff started to pile up—garbage, dishes, papers, clothes—until it felt overwhelming.  His friends didn’t know how bad it had gotten, he hadn’t shown them, or maybe they just never stopped by.  My friend was the first in a long time.  They spent six hours cleaning, just so they could clear a path so the appraiser could walk through the house.  It’s not finished, and there’s a whole lot more to do, but it’s a start.

Homeless in Lincoln

When the two of us decided to experience homelessness one weekend for a cross-cultural assignment, the lifestyle that over 20 million Americans experience every year, we were not ready for what we encountered.

We thought it would be easy to find money or food in exchange for work, and we were worried we wouldn’t even see any homeless people, much less interview them.  Instead, we were met by people who wouldn’t look us in the eye, much less give us the opportunity to work for them.

How Graduates Can Make Wise Decisions

A pastor friend called and asked for counsel: “A 13 year old girl in my church is from a broken home. Her father left her mother and has been living with another woman. The Dad has joint custody and visitation rights and the girl went to visit him for two weeks.

Have Americans lost their sense of reality to the The Truth?

Do we really understand what freedom is all about? Many have paid dearly for maintaining freedom.  “Freedom is not Free”...  much blood has been shed in the name of freedom.  Has all this blood been shed in vain?  How can God Bless America when abortion has killed over 46 million babies; that’s more than double the number of people who were killed in Holocaust.

Do You Really Want To Know The Truth?

I had spoken at a family conference
and explained and illustrated Bible truths about how a parent can “turn around” a rebellious teen.
-- A man came up to me and said, “How did you discover such amazing truths?” I replied, “The Bible is the mind of man’s Creator revealed to man. In the Bible God gave to man every key truth man would need to live human life. Our difficulty is in receiving and believing ALL of those truths. But each truth we believe opens up another set of truths. And each one of those opens up another set, etc. etc.”

Which Flag Are You Flying?

I read that an American POW in the Hanoi Hilton took some cloth scraps and carefully sewed an American flag.  Every morning he would come to attention, salute the flag and give the pledge of allegiance. One day his captors caught him. They destroyed his flag, beat him mercilessly, and then threw him back into his cell. Later one of his fellow POW’s saw him working with his hands and asked, “What are you doing?” He replied, “Sewing another flag.”

Lincoln Churches Come Together in Action

Community action of some kind is commonplace inside most churches. But for the first time in Lincoln, 11 churches -- and that number is anticipated to grow to more than 15 -- have banded together to create the campaign "Together for Lincoln." This unified action will involve all participating churches being committed to working together to serve the community, from building wheelchair ramps to visiting the homebound.

Living With Regret
By Ronald K. Denlinger

An error in judgment can result in a lifetime of regret. It isn't required that there be any intentional harm to another in order for us to carry sorrowful thoughts about our actions. Each of us looks back at things we've done, and we wish for just a moment in which we could have made a different decision. If only we had thought more carefully about the potential consequences. If only we had taken a slightly different course.
