IN PASSING ……

They say there is a book in each of us - and this is the title of the book which is meandering about in my own mind at this time, which is as far as I have got with a myriad of thoughts and reminiscences rushing to be set down in writing. Whether it will get from mind to paper is another matter. I haven’t a clue as to how to go about it in form etc, but no doubt the internet will provide guidance in that regard.

Here is the brand new weekly radio programme from Julia Fisher, brought to you every Thursday. What is God doing in Israel and the Palestinian areas today? In this unique programme you will hear news and testimonies from Jewish believers and Palestinian Christians.

The Word: "Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth from the wellsprings of Judah... See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. For my own sake…I do this. How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield my glory to another. "Listen to me, O Jacob, Israel, whom I have called: I am He; I am the first and I am the last. (Isaiah 48:1, 10-12)

The Haiti Earthquake - Why help Idolaters ?

After reading this question sent in by a viewer, and having subsequently listened to the sermon by Tony Pearce, I would like to respond with this blog.

Very shortly after the earthquake, a talk was available from audio sermons.com given by an American lady who was there at the time. Having been born in Haiti to American parents who had lived there on Mission for many years, she spends her time partly in America and partly in Haiti, continuing in mission work. After giving a very full account of what she had witnessed during the earthquake and aftershock, her resume is, I believe, a powerful one.

The Word: I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent, and give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth. The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by the arm of His strength:"Surely I will no longer give your grain as food for your enemies; and the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine, for which you have laboured. But those who have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; Those who have brought it together shall drink it in My holy courts." Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people; Build up, Build up the highway! Take out the stones, lift up a banner for the peoples! Indeed the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the world:"Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Surely your salvation is coming; Behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.'" And they shall call them The Holy People, the Redeemed of the LORD; and you shall be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken. (Isaiah 62:6-12)

WEEK 11 : The Praise of the Angels and the Homage of the Shepherds

1. SCRIPTURE

Luke 2:8-20

Lk. 2:8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night.
Lk. 2:9 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.
Lk. 2:10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold I bring you tidings of great joy which shall be to all people.”
Lk. 2:11 “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Redeemer, who is the Messiah of the Lord.”
Lk. 2:12 And this will be a sign to you: You will find the Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.”
Lk. 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of heavenly host praising God and saying,
Lk. 2:14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”
Lk. 2:15 So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go into Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.”
Lk. 2:16 And they came with haste and found Miriam and Yoseph and the Babe lying in a manger.
Lk. 2:17 Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told to them concerning this child.
Lk. 2:18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
Lk. 2:19 But Miriam kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.
Lk. 2:20 Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told to them.
