1 Which hope we have as an Anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast. Hebrews 6:19 Vol. 51, Num. 7 THE ANCHOR March 2017 From the Pastor... In ancient times some intellectuals had nothing better to do than play with words and ruminate on their origins. And they d come up with some fun and ridiculous etymologies (etymology is the study of the origin of words). So, for instance, some Latin authors asserted that the word barbarian derives from the Latin for beard (barba because barbarians had big beards), when it actually derives from how foreign speakers sound (they sounded to Greek speakers like they were just mumbling bar-bar-bar-bar, hence the term, barbarian ). False etymologies are sometimes more informative than the real ones, though. Barbarians did have big beards. It makes sense. So, I thought we could do the same things for the word Lent. Lent is actually just an old-german word meaning Spring, the season in which Lent falls. But we could do an etymology and say it derives from the Latin word for slow (lentus). Not because it s the correct etymology, but because it has much more theological significance. In Lent we slow down. Life is busy, I know. There are all sorts of things to do and not enough time to do them. But we can t allow the swift course of life to draw us away from the one thing needful. Nothing in life is so important that it should keep us from contemplating the suffering and death of our Savior. In fact, nothing in life is, in the end, important at all, except when considered in view of our Lord s passion. Life, no matter, how busy, is full of sin both ours and the world s. And sin is at bottom meaninglessness, devoid of anything good. We can t attribute any lasting importance to our lives, then, except when we see the sinfulness of our lives forgiven and washed away by the blood of our Savior and our God. Here we see that our lives aren t simply the drudgery of work and play, ups and downs, which quickly all too quickly! lead to our inevitable end death, the ultimate meaninglessness. No! Our sin leads to death, but the death of our Savior and our God, Jesus Christ the righteous, is life. Where sin is taken away, washed away in the blood of the Son of God, who takes on our flesh and suffers to pay for every wrong we commit, offering up His righteous life to His Father in place of our sin-stained lives, then there is nothing left but good the good of our Father s everlasting kindness to all who are found to be His children through faith in His Son. So slow down this Lent. Examine your life. Take the time to do it. Every day. Look at the Ten Commandments. See what a meaningful life should look like. Perfect love and trust in God, perfect love for your neighbor. No gossiping and backbiting. No lusting or immodest behavior. Being content with what you have. Looking forward to hearing God s Word. Being generous and never stingy. Not worrying about your physical wellbeing. Committing your body and soul entirely to God. That s the good life, the life worth living, the life of meaningfulness. Aspire to it. And then see that you have fallen far short, that God gave you a meaningful life to live and you have done a good job of squandering it by every sin you have committed. And then slow down again, take the time, and ponder the cross and death of your Lord Jesus. There is meaning for your life. There God s death conquers your death. God bears sin to take away your sin. God suffers meaninglessness, being forsaken by His own goodness, to give you again a life worth living, a life covered in the forgiveness of sin, in the righteousness of your Savior.
2 A great way to do this, to slow down and consider your sin and your Savior, is to sing the great Lenten hymns of the Church. Don t be embarrassed. Singing is a virtue, a gift from God, and you ll be singing forever in heaven, so you should get used to it now. And besides this, these are the best hymns ever written. Sing A Lamb Goes Uncomplaining Forth. Sing Jesus I Will Ponder Now. Sing O Dearest Jesus, What Law Hast Thou Broken and O Sacred Head Now Wounded. These are hymns of repentance that will focus your faith on the cross of Jesus, where it needs to be. God bless you during Lententide! From the School... The Third, Fourth, and Fifth graders are studying the Venerable Bede in history class. Bede, an Anglo- Saxon scholar and monk, wrote The History of the English Church and People, which he completed in AD 731. Because of the evidence and sources that he collected and used to write his work, he is known as the father of English history. You may know him as the historian who introduced the Annus Domini (In the Year of Our Lord) dating system. Bede provides plenty of evidence to prove that the society of the eighth century was neither dark nor backward. In fact, if you read Bede s work, even more so if you read it in the original Latin, you will see Bede s intellectual brilliance and elegant use of language, along with his clear understanding of what should be remembered and held in the permanent memory of his people: the story of how England received the Christian faith. Our technological age, when information is readily available at our very fingertips (literally, with the use of a smart phone), provides a stark contrast to Bede s. We have lost the value of permanence. We don t even ask the question, Is this worth remembering? Is it worth writing down? Think of the best books ever written, the books that deal with the good, the true, the beautiful. These books include The Bible, The Iliad, The Odyssey, The Aeneid, Thucydides History of the Peloponnesian War, The Divine Comedy, Shakespeare s works, and the list goes on. Our society does not value these works as the basis and foundation for our culture, connecting us with all humankind. Rather, immediate satisfaction of curiosity, greed, and desire dominates what our society calls good. Indeed, the internet has become a type of god; fingers ache to hold phones and tablets at every free moment. Why commit anything to memory when it can be found at the touch of a button? At Mount Hope, we do not permit our students to dwell on the fleeting trivial content of this world. We train them to recognize what is worth their attention and admiration. This is why our curriculum does not change from year to year. Instead, our students are committing to memory the permanent truths of our culture and civilization that is of the Western Civilization. They are being taught the value of stories, what is worth preserving, writing down, and memorizing, so that as they grow into adults, they can discern what is worth saving from their own lives and from the present society. Of course, like Bede, we always return to the same story, the story out of which all other good, true, beautiful stories flow: the true story of Christ s life, death, and resurrection for us.

Be sure to include the names of the people in order of their photo position. 3. If you do not have a current photo, and need your photo taken at church, please contact the church office prior to a Sunday service, and we will schedule you a photo shoot between services. You may start bringing in or ing your pictures anytime. THANK YOU!!! ****************************************** 365 Challenge Continues... Thanks to everyone who responded to last year s challenge.
