The Doctor Says...



http://www.roche.de/pharma/indikation/onkologie/nsclc/images/doctor_patient_5.jpg

A woman accompanied her husband to the doctors's office.
After the checkup, the doctor took the wife aside and said,
"if you don't do the following, your husband will surely die."

1. "Each morning fix him a healthy breakfast and send him
off to work in a good mood."

2."At lunch time make him a warm, nutritious meal and put
him in a good frame of mind before he goes back to work.

3."For dinner, fix an especially nice meal and don't
burden him with household chores."

4."Satisfy his every whim."

On the way home, the husband asked his wife what the
doctor had said, she replied "you're going to die."

Dear Howdy, Indeed I am a faithful Tarheel*, having both
MA and Ph.D. from their fine chemistry department.
But that doesn't keep me from getting a great kick out
of the humor propagated by what appears to me to be
a pack of wolves!!**


SERIOUSLY, THE HUMOR IS GREAT FUN BUT MY
MAIN ATTRACTION WAS TO THE CONSERVATIVE
MORAL AND POLITICAL STANCE THAT SEEMED
TO CHARACTERIZE THE FIRST ISSUE I SAW.
INCIDENTALLY (HE SAYS ACCIDENTALLY!), it was
sent to me by a friend, so I really didn't "hear about
you" at all, and still haven't. All I know is what has
come in the two issues of the Newsletter
I have seen. The best to you.

Lord of the Dance
Joe Boot

I vividly remember what it was like as a child to have overwhelming
questions running through my head about existence. Sometimes I would sit
and think and try to get my head around why I existed at all, until my
mind simply quit and went blank. Who am I? What is life? How did it
begin? If life goes on after death, what is eternity? Surely even that
must end? The one thing we cannot accept as children or rationalize as
adults is that things just happen by themselves. In my family, like most
others, lots of things happened inexplicably. Food went missing from the
cupboards, rooms messed themselves up, fights were started by phantoms,
dirty footprints appeared across the carpet on their own, and all sorts of
things were broken by the invisible man! All of us when questioned by mom
or dad usually denied responsibility. "I don't know! It wasn't me!"

Why did this reasoning never get us off the hook? Because people cannot
accept that things happen by themselves--something causes them to happen.
That room did not get messy by itself; something or someone messed it up.
This is a rule of common sense and common knowledge; all events must have
a cause. No reasonable person would dispute that. This is the source of
the persistent questioning of a child who asks why. If one asks why
enough times, eventually you either get back to God or you simply have to
assert something like, "It just is; that's all" or "Because I said so."
The latter response is rather unsatisfactory, and even reference back to
God will often prompt the question, "But who made God?"

This fact is telling. What it shows is that our minds demand a principle
philosophers call "efficient causality" or cause and effect. We all
notice that some things cause other things to begin to be, to continue to
be, or both. Every event must have a cause. We can say for example: I
have just knocked over my cup of tea because my arm knocked it over,
because my brain told my arm to move, because electrical impulses moved
the muscles as I willed to move my arm, because that's how the body works.
If we go on like that, we either get back to God or we resort to something
irrational.

As we have said, our senses tell us that the universe is real and that our
world is a system of events and changes. These events, like the spilling of
a cup of tea, cannot cause themselves--this would be absurd. Everything at
this moment is caused to be by something other than itself. But what is
causing them if everything at any given moment needs a cause? The only
reasonable solution is that there must be a first cause that is uncaused,
self-existent, independent, and eternal. A cause that is not dependent on
anything else to be its cause. This must be God. He is not an effect of
something else; instead, he is the ultimate cause of all other effects.
God is not an event that occurs at a given time like everything else; he
has always been and always will be.

The Bible begins with that very assertion: "In the beginning God." It does
not argue about it or seek to persuade the reader by clever argument that
it is true. It is simply stated. And human consciousness nods its head
to this fact--God is! This is the very answer to the child's question,
"Who made God?" For even a child knows that the gift of life came from
someone and was passed to all from somewhere. This is a constant theme in
the Bible. It tells us that people intuitively know they have been given
the gift of life from the giver of life who is eternal.

The Lord of the dance, the one who gives life to and sustains everything,
has placed in the human heart a sense of our own created-ness, of our own
immortality. Despite the fact that we cannot understand or explain an
infinite, self-existent God, a persistent awareness that He is the source
of all life remains embedded in the very essence of what it means to be a
human being. He is the great assertion, the only one who can truly say,
"Because I said so."

It is amazing the power that a hollyhock had on me this morning. As I went out to get the news-paper, I already had the weight of the world pressing down on me. I was walking, I was breath-ing, I was thinking, but because of my preoccupation with rescuing the earth from eternal de-struction and other similar issues, I was not really living. Or really praying, for that matter. Then came one brilliant moment, when God disclosed Himself to me. It happened as I bent down to get the paper. As I stretched and grunted to pick up the paper on the curb of my driveway, my eye caught sight of a single hollyhock that I had planted by our mailbox. The hollyhock had bloomed. I had previously noticed one or two yellow flowers coming out, but I had somehow missed the full, glorious blooming that had occurred. There were now yellows and reds and pinks and whites all arranged by God on huge “fig-like” leaves, sitting prettily on a couple of tall, skinny, gr! een stalks. Now if you know anything about hollyhocks, you know they are one of those perennials that are advertised in garden magazines as, “Old Timey Plants Just Like Grand-mother’s” or something like that. And it is true. Hollyhocks have a cherished place in the English cottage garden. As our forefathers and mothers came to America, they brought the seeds of those beautiful, spiked, multi-colored staple of the flowerbed with them. It truly is “an old timey” beauty. I have noticed that there are more of them in Midwestern gardens than Southern ones, but here in Tennessee, I have taken notice of quite a few. The hollyhock is one of those flowers that can evoke memories of childhood at grandma’s house, or Sunday afternoon strolls through a park, or for me Vacation Bible School. The reason is there were hollyhocks growing near the outhouse of New Bethlehem Baptist Church, way out in the country near where I grew up. (If you have not had th! e joy of using an outhouse, particularly an outhouse at a coun! try chur ch with VBS going on, I would love to talk with you about it sometime.) I remember that going to the outhouse was a real pleasure. Yes, that’s right it was a real pleasure. First of all, as a child, I was amazed by a plant that was taller than I was. (Hollyhocks can grow to be eight feet tall in the right conditions.) Second, they were pretty and reminded me of Miss Dot, our teacher who was, I thought, going to be my wife one day. I was seven years old and she was married to a banker, but somehow none of that mattered. Third, bees love hollyhocks and there was an element of danger in going to the outhouse. It made VBS even more adventuresome. But put it all together, and for that one moment, as I bent down to get the paper and was mesmerized by the hollyhock in full bloom, I remembered the experience of the Holy Spirit moving on my heart at Vacation Bible School. I remember how I got to carry the American flag in the daily processional before we said the Pledge of Alle! giance and then the Christian Pledge of Allegiance before the Chris-tian flag. I remember cold Kool-Aid on hot, humid days. I remember the crunchy sweetness and floury smoothness of those cookies that came like a million to a pack for 99 cents. I remember waiting for a ride home after it was over at noontime. I would slip inside and stand in the pulpit at New Bethlehem Baptist Church and imagine being the preacher. I remember how I felt God was there in that place and that He probably wanted me to do something with His presence. I didn’t quite know what He wanted at that time, but I remember His tug at my little heart.

I am thankful for that hollyhock this morning. The Lord used it to remind me that something very important is happening at our church next week. “Summer Stomp Camp” is our VBS and Music Camp that will reach in to our families’ children and reach out to children living right down the street from us. Kelly and Helen and their wonderful volunteer teams were able to place about 300 door-hangers on homes. Many of you are hard at work now preparing for that time next week. The Gospel of Jesus Christ will be presented. I am praying that our covenant chil-dren, who have been reared in the Gospel, will be strengthened and challenged to follow the Lord. I am praying that children who don’t understand God’s love in Jesus Christ will understand for the first time and receive Him. And I am praying for the Lord, who often does His wonderful sovereign work of preparing young, tender hearts for future ministry, to do that here in our church.

Will you join me in praying for our summer ministry to children next week? Pray for their musical presentation to the congregation, and to the parents who will be visiting with us on the following Sunday night? Pray for Christ to touch the hearts of children with His grace and love. For behind the cookies and the singing and the crafts there is the image of Christ welcoming children and saying, “Let the little ones come unto Me.”

And if you drop by next week, and you see some little child hanging around the sanctuary, maybe “trying out” the pulpit, let him alone. God may be up to something.

We don’t have hollyhocks growing next to an outhouse; we don’t even have an outhouse at First Presbyterian. But I think God will still be here anyway. Because I think God loves VBS. Because Jesus loves little children.

Verse of the Day



* * * Four Important Things To KNOW: #1) For ALL (Americans, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhist, Asians, Presbyterians, Europeans, Baptist, Brazilians, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc.) have sinned & fall short of the glory of God. #2) For the wages of above (see #1) are DEATH (Hell, eternal separation from God, & damnation) but the Gift (free & at no charge to you) of God (Creator, Jehovah, & Trinity) is Eternal Life (Heaven) through (in union with) Jesus Christ (God, Lord, 2nd Person of The Trinity, Messiah, Prince of Peace & Savior of the World). #3) For God so greatly loved & dearly prized the world (Americans, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhist, Asians, Presbyterians, Europeans, Baptist, Brazilians, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc.) that He even gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, that whosoever (anyone, anywhere, anytime - while still living) believes (trust in, relies on, clings to, depends completely on) Him shall have eternal (everlasting) life (heaven). #4) Jesus said: "I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, & THE LIFE. No one (male/female - American, Muslim, Jew, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist, Asian, Presbyterian, European, Baptist, Brazilian, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc. ) comes (arrives) to the Father (with GOD in Heaven) EXCEPT BY (through) ME (no other name). *** This wonderful loving GOD gives you the choice - - - (Rev. 3:20) {Please note that church membership, baptism, doing good things, etc. are not requirements for becoming a Christian - however they are great afterwards!!!} *** Jesus said, "Wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction (Hell, damnation, eternal punishment), and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life (Heaven, eternal happiness, forever with God), and only a few find it.

P U R P O S E
But these are written so that you may
believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the
Son of God, and that by believing in
Him you will have life. Jn 20:31

Seek the Lord while He may be found;
call on Him while He is near. Let the
wicked forsake his way and the evil
man his thoughts. Let him turn to the
Lord, and He will have mercy on him,
and to our God, for He will freely
pardon. "For My thoughts are not
your thoughts, neither are your ways
My ways," declares the Lord. "As the
heavens are higher than the earth, so
are My ways higher than your ways
and My thoughts than your thoughts.
As the rain and the snow come down
from heaven, and do not return to it
without watering the earth and making
it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed
for the sower and bread for the eater,
so is My word that goes out from My
mouth: It will not return to Me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire and
achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
You will go out in joy and be led forth
in peace; the mountains and hills will
burst into song before you, and all the
trees of the field will clap their hands.
Instead of the thornbush will grow the
pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle
will grow. This will be for the Lord's
renown, for an everlasting sign, which
will not be destroyed." Is 55

O Lord, you have searched me and you
know me. You know when I sit and when
I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying
down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you know
it completely, O Lord. You hem me in -
behind and before; you have laid your
hand upon me. Such knowledge is too
wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where
can I flee from your presence? If I go up
to the heavens, you are there; if I make
my bed in the depths, you are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide
me and the light become night around
me," even the darkness will not be dark
to you; the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you. For you
created my inmost being; you knit me
together in my mother's womb. I praise
you because I am fearfully and wonderfully
made; your works are wonderful, I know
that full well. My frame was not hidden
from you when I was made in the secret
place. When I was woven together in the
depths of the earth, your eyes saw my
unformed body. All the days ordained
for me were written in your book before
one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts,
O God! How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them, they would
outnumber the grains of sand. When
I awake, I am still with you. Search me,
O God, and know my heart; test me
and know my anxious thoughts. See
if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
Ps 139

But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up,
that I may show My power in you, and that My
Name may be declared in all the earth. Ex 9:16


When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small:
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
- - Isaac Watts
