Sing Thankfully

God has been, and continues to be, gracious to me. I thank him, and praise his name. It is exciting to realize that the technology that drives email and the Internet allows me, and you, if you will raise your voice with me, to thank him in front of all the people, among all the nations and even to the farthest corners of the earth.

Our voices can sing out in thankfulness and praise to the one true God: every day, all day; every night, all night; every week, all week; every month, all month; every year, all year from this day forward throughout eternity.

A Prayer begins . . .

Our Father in heaven, we raise our voices in thankfulness and praise to you, the one true God. Thank you for your grace and unfailing love.

Wanted: A Safe Place

Rick Richardson, Evangelism Outside The Box, New Ways To Help People Experience The Good News, InterVarsity Press, 2000, p. 48.    SoAmazing.com

"A second transformation from the modern to postmodern mindset has to do with the understanding of the self and of identity. The modern thinker saw the self as autonomous, individualistic and rational. The self was developed through analysis, discovery and self-expression. For instance, psychologist Erik Erikson posited that a person needs to achieve identity first and then is ready for intimacy. Psychologists today, such as Carol Gilligan, see identity and intimacy as inseparably connected. We construct our identity and our sense of self in community and through relationships and dialogue.

Consistent whth Gilligan's theory, people are looking first for a community to belong to rather than a message to believe in. They are looking for a safe place to work out their sense of identity and self."

" 'So you found Tsion.'

'I found his home page. I couldn't believe it. A number in the corner of the page--you must have seen it--showed how many people were accessing the site every so many seconds . . . Then I saw the archives. I thought, Archives already? I mean, how old could the site be?

'I clicked through the listings,amazed that he had posted a significant teaching message every day for weeks already. When I came upon one called, 'For Those Who Mourn,' I nearly fainted. I felt warm all over, then a chill. I locked my door and hoped the GC hadn't begun monitoring our laptops. I had the greatest sense of anticipation ever. Somehow I knew this man had something for me. I printed out the message and carried it with me for months, until David and I discovered each other and he warned me I shouldn't be caught with it. So I memeorized it before I destroyed it.'

Mac shot her a double take. 'You memorized an entire Ben-Judah message?'

'Pretty much. Want to hear the first paragraph?'

'Sure.'

'He wrote, 'Dear troubled friend, you may be mourning the loss of a loved one who either disappeared in the Rapture or had been killed in the ensuing chaos. I pray God's peace and comfort for you. I know what it is to lose my immediate family in a most unspeakable manner. But let me tell you this with great confidence: If your loved ones were alive today, they would urge you to be absolutely certain you're ready to die. There is only one way to do that . . .' ' "
