Prayers Scripture 259 people in our community are currently praying with you.Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.Our “Saturday Oldie” is actually a modern recording: Alan Jackson does a great version of How Great Thou Art with an old-fashioned, “country” feel. Lyrics (Click on/off)O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,Thy power throughout the universe displayed.Chorus: Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,How great Thou art, How great Thou art.Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,How great Thou art, How great Thou art!When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeurAnd see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,He bled and died to take away my sin.When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"Prayer of Thanks and BlessingsFather, Thank You for each and every day You have blessed us here on earth.Thank You for Your tender mercies.Thank You for giving us friends and family to share joys and sorrows with.I ask You to bless my friends, relatives, brothers and sisters in Christ and those I care deeply for, and especially those who are praying with me right now.Where there is joy, give them continued joy.Where there is pain or sorrow, give them your peace and mercy.Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence. Where there is need, fulfill their needs.Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings and their comings. In Jesus' name, Amen.Mason Barge 1/14/2017, origin unkTo Spread the GospelFather God, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior you have found my heart worthy enough to save, and have entrusted me to spread the Gospel. You have handed to me the very keys to the kingdom of heaven. Let me not grow weary of His cause. And by His grace and mercies given to me, let me be proven worthy of my call. As your Son taught us, the harvest is plentiful, but the gatherers are few. Let me stand for my call in Jesus Christ and take my place among those who gather, not by argument and rancor, but by living as a shining light before the world, always ready to witness to your gifts, your Word, and your glory.Amen.Mason Barge Meditation“The waters are rising, but so am I. I am not going under, but over.”~ Catherine Booth, co-founder of the Salvation ArmyBenediction Finally, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, let me think about these things. What I have learned and received, let me do; and the God of peace be with us all. Amen. Think of the day ahead in terms of God with you, and visualize health, strength, guidance, purity, calm confidence, and victory as the gifts of His presence. True godliness does not turn men out of the world, but enables them to live better in it and excites their endeavors to mend it.~ William PennExodus 22:16-31Premarital Sexf a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife. If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he must still pay the bride-price for virgins. Notes on the ScriptureThe law given here concerning men is quite clear. If a man sleeps with a virgin, he has to marry her, unless her father objects. Given the change in marriage laws, however, the guidance concerning the modern woman is not so clear. One might conclude that the woman, being half of the couple, would have the same obligation as the man; or we might conclude that, since she stands in the place of a Hebrew father that is, she rather than her father picks whom she will marry she may make the decision not to marry.Also, we might wonder, is this entirely a moral law, or at least partially a practical one? The Hebrews did not have access to birth control and any act of sexual congress risked pregnancy. Whereas today, a couple might have sexual relations with relatively less chance of conception. Moreover, Hebrew girls normally were betrothed very similar to today’s engagement when they were extremely young. Women did not spend their teens and 20s (and often, 30s) as single women away from home before they married, as they do today.ZipporahThis does not seem to vitiate the law, though, because Hebrew men, who married later in life, were also expected to control themselves. As a practical matter, men can get away with casual sex more easily than women; men don’t develop a telltale bump in their belly a few months later. But the women who would normally sleep with them were prostitutes, not the girl next door, and later verses repeatedly warn young men to resist the seductress and the prostitute. (E.g. Proverbs 5:3-6)If we read the Bible, without preconception or distortion, we see a definite norm take shape, that sex should be reserved for marriage. For single people, it is not quite the fierce stricture that the Victorians made it out to be offenders, for example, would not be stoned, jailed, or banished. The father had no right to beat the man. The “punishment” for the man is that he must pay the bride price and offer to marry the woman (who, I presume, would no longer expect to receive a large bride price). It might be more accurate to say that sex creates a marriage, rather than to say premarital sex is a sin. Remember that (with her father’s blessing and after paying the bride price) Isaac married Rebekah by simply “taking her into his tent.” But see 1 Corinthians 7:2: “There is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.”The stated verse leaves an interesting grey area for engaged couples. Remember that Joseph and Mary traveled and stayed together; she remained a virgin, but their conduct in traveling as a couple was apparently accepted by the Jewish authorities. So we might infer that the verse does not prohibit relations between a betrothed couple it only requires them to marry.
