1 The Messenger March 2016 DEEP LENT, DEEP PEACE On the second Sunday of Lent, we looked into the text of Philippians 3:17-4:1 where Paul encourages us to live in the freedom and peace of Christ as we live not according to our appetites, but as citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. In that passage, Paul describes those who are ruled by their sensual appetites; for food, sex, money, comfort, and so on. They don t just struggle with those appetites, they are given over to living for them and glory in doing so. My hope is that none of us intentionally live to cater to our appetites and that none of us are glorying in doing so. My hunch, though, is that many of us do struggle with the power of our appetites. It is my belief that as we engage a Deep Lent, we will experience Deep Peace, and I think that as we explore a bit more of Philippians, we find that Paul gives us some guidance on how to break the power of our appetites and experience the peace of Jesus. Paul understands the complex connection between our heart, mind, and body, but also offers some strikingly practical steps toward freedom from the power of our appetites. He writes this: Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice. Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. (Phil 4:4-9) There are three things here that go hand in hand in working against the power of the appetites. First, rejoice in the Lord always. When we rejoice in Christ, when we experience joy in Him and delight in His love and care for us, we experience the reward. One of the reasons our appetites have so much power is that we experience a fleeting reward. While we can t manufacture feelings of joy, we can intentionally put ourselves in positions where we are more likely to experience the joy of Christ. For example, fellowship and worship are two places we often experience the joy of Christ. Second, give thanks. One of the reasons our appetites have such power is that we focus on what we don t have, what we think will satisfy us if we could only get a little bit of it. One way to break the focus on what we don t have (and think we need) is to give thanks for what we do have. When we fill our minds with the evidence of God s goodness, that insatiable desire for more grows weaker. When we give thanks, we make ourselves aware of God s goodness in our lives. Third, we set our minds on things that reflect God s goodness and beauty. In other words, when we find ourselves tempted to cater to our appetites and sin, we replace the thought. So often when we try to resist temptation, we become so focused on what we are trying to resist that we make it bigger and bigger in our minds. Instead, if we decide instead to think of something else, something that draws us to the experience of God s goodness and beauty, the temptation eventually falls away. These three go hand in hand: Rejoicing, giving thanks, and setting our minds on praiseworthy things. Together, they have great power to break the grip of our earthly appetites so that we can live more deeply in the freedom of God s grace and power, so that we can live in deep peace. Yours in Christ, Growing as Disciples of Jesus Christ Through Worship, Learning, Fellowship and Outreach
2 Rites of Initiation: A (very) Old Idea The Early Church I am thinking from AD was very serious and intentional about initiation into the Christian community of the church. The problem that the church dealt with was this: How do we take pagans, who know nothing of the ways of God, and teach them to be citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven? The answer lies in the combination of instruction and worship, or catechesis and liturgy. Pagan converts would be given instruction in the beliefs and practices of Christianity during the season of Lent. They would engage in spiritual disciplines, such as fasting. They would pray with the church regularly. All of these activities would gradually change the habits of their hearts. The gloriously climactic moment would come at the Easter vigil when they would receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist for the first time. There is a related question in Family Ministry today: How can we take our children, essentially pagans by birth (let the reader understand), and teach them how to be citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven? I think the answer is very much the same as before. We draw the children into our fellowship through a combination of instruction and worship. On the one hand, we teach the faith to our children by simply talking about it on a regular basis. On the other hand, we allow them to participate in the prayers and worship. This will allow our God -talk to root itself more deeply into their hearts, shaping their wills, shaping the habits of their hearts. This can (and does) happen at church. It can happen at home. There are also two upcoming opportunities for instruction. First, on Sunday, March 13th I will teach a class on Holy Communion for children who are preparing for their first intentional Communion. Parents may decide when their children are ready, but this is typically somewhere in the vicinity of 1st grade. Second, Confirmation Class will begin on Sunday, April 3rd for 10th grade and above.
