1 February 2017 Cumberland Plateau Baptist Association The Cumberland Plateau Baptist Association is a network of Churches committed to evangelizing, teaching and ministering to our World. Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, Come over to Macedonia and help us. Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them. Acts 16:6-10 The Tennessee Baptist Convention has active mission partnerships in Italy; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio; Denver, Colorado; Guatemala; and New England. Over the many years that TBC has been involved in mission partnerships they have also partnered with other Baptists in Michigan, Montana, Brazil, Romania, Kenya, and Canada. Often pastors and mission leaders will be challenged by someone saying something like missions should begin at home. The perception being given is that we are always going other places and maybe even neglecting those things that are more local. Well, starting this year our state convention will begin a new focus in missions that they are calling City Reach. Over the next five years they will emphasis a dif- So, do you hear the call from those with great need in Knoxville, TN to hear the gospel preached to them? I recently toured the city of Knoxville with other pastors and mission leaders to see and hear of the needs first hand. Here are some facts about Knoxville: a population of 448,650, 450 churches (150 are Southern Baptist), 550 religious groups, and in 2013 was recognized as the #1 most Bible-minded city in America. However, the reality in Knoxville is: 200,000 spiritually lost people, 30% identify as Nones (no religious affiliation), 41% identify as Dones (those done with church), only 19% say they actively attend church, 25% live in poverty, and there are 120 different ethnicities in Knox County. Do you hear the call from Knoxville? You don t have to go far! In the Knoxville area the needs are great so a variety of opportunities exists for your church to respond to in a mission partnership. Here are a few ways your church could serve: Vacation Bible Schools or Backyard Kid clubs block parties or community ministries, relationship or event evangelism, minor construction or renovation projects, church planting or church revitalization partnerships, language or ethnic ministries, and the list could go on. If you would like more information or to see a list of projects for City Reach Knoxville, check out the following link: If you have any questions or how to get your mission team involved feel free to give me a call. Your partner in missions, Kirk
2 Page 2 Pastoral Counseling Center of the Cumberland Plateau Submitted by Carolyn Scott, Pastoral Counselor, Licensed by NCCA February 2017 What s at the Heart of Your Marriage? It s nearing Valentine s Day and Love is in the air! Can you remember back to grade school when everyone brought those silly cards, or sweetheart candies, and exchanged them in school? Some of us might remember how exciting it was, but others might remember the heartbreak of not receiving one from that special someone in which we were infatuated. We experience rejection and failed expectations very young in life and these can oftentimes compound as we grow older. For some, Valentine's Day isn't all chocolates and roses. Instead, it is a difficult day as it reminds us of a recent troublesome time in our marriage, a breakup, or even divorce. According to Christianity Today, one in two marriages end in divorce. Catholic couples were 31% less likely to divorce; Protestant couples 35% less likely; and Jewish couples 97% less likely, which in itself is quite impressive; I must say. 53% of very happy couples agree with the statement, "God is at the center of our marriage". God wants Christian marriages to be strong and last a lifetime, but all too often we allow bad choices to lead to un-holy practices, leaving our spouse feeling betrayed, disrespected, and unloved; thus causing the demise of the marriage. There are a few basic foundational truths to build a loving and lasting marriage. Two of the foundational truths are Love and Respect; they go hand-in-hand in marriage. But, which comes first the husband loving his wife or the wife respecting her husband? Both are equally important for each spouse to demonstrate to the other to have a lasting marriage. When the husband and wife truly demonstrate love and respect, it is easier to reciprocate love and respect. All too often one spouse may be forced to give 150% one day because their spouse may be acting in immaturity and only give 50% or less. It takes three to make a marriage work - God, husband, and wife. It takes three to allow a marriage to fail satan, husband and wife. People go looking elsewhere when needs at home are not being met. This is not only relating to intimate needs but rather Spiritual and emotional needs which reach the top of this list. Here are a few essential qualities that make up love and respect and help to build a strong marriage: Personal relationship with Jesus Christ Each spouse should strive to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and demonstrate God s love through the fruits of the spirit love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (Galatians 5:22, Ecclesiastes 4:12, Deut. 6:5)
3 Page 3 Pray Together Pray about everything together (1 Thess. 5:16) Laugh Together laughter is like a good medicine (Proverbs 17:22) Pursue Peace If God is truly at the center of your marriage, then make this a rule in your home There is no excuse for violence! (Isaiah 26:3, Romans 15:13) Long-Suffering This does not mean domestic violence! It means having or showing patience in spite of troubles, especially those caused by other people. (John 16:33) Humble/Gentle Be kind to each other and quiet nature most fights are over stupid things that don t matter; learn communication skills that allow you to disagree, but not fight - then you will never go to bed mad. (Ephesians 4:2, 3) Be faithful - Use self-control, abstaining from pornography, lustful looks at others, avoiding adultery Marriage is worth the investment to have unadulterated, undefiled intimacy with one partner for a lifetime (Hebrews 13:4) Self-Controlled exercising, looking your best for your spouse; not speaking profanity; not yelling, screaming, or hitting; eating healthy, etc. Dependability - being a consistent income provider, is able to be trusted to do or provide what is needed (Luke 16:10, Hebrews 3:14, 1 Corinthians 16:13, Philippians 1:27) Reliability paying bills, being tried and true (1 Corinthians 4:2-4, Psalms 1:1-6, 2 Timothy 3:17) Trustworthy One who can be trusted, never doubting their ability or choices (Psalms 22:4-5, Proverbs 11:1, Luke 16:10-12) Listen not interrupting, not dominating the conversation, God gave us two ears so we can listen twice as much as we speak (Job 33:31-33, Proverbs 15:2) Supportive to encourage each other in their interest, careers, education, accomplishments (Jeremiah 29:11) Understanding demonstrating forgiveness (Matthew 6:14, 15) Be Honest/Showing Integrity not lying, stealing, or cheating (Proverbs 2:20, 21; Proverbs 28:18, Proverbs 6:19) Intimacy and Excitement Intimacy can be as simple as holding hands, or sitting quietly watching a movie; have date nights, take a weekend trip, have a picnic in the living room with candlelight, take a moonlit walk (Song of Solomon) Remember to do something beautiful for your special someone all throughout the year! The Pastoral Counseling Center of the Cumberland Plateau is ready to help you get your marriage back on the right track. Or, if you are planning to get married, we provide pre-marital counseling.
