Persistent in the Pursuit of Justice

Luke 18:1-8

When I was doing marriage and family counseling I would often have a husband or wife--most often a husband--who would walk in visibly angry at the first visit. I always found that stimulating and a challenge; in fact, I preferred open hostility to indifference. You can usually talk with an angry person if you are willing to listen, provided the person's anger is motivated by a sense of injustice or a fundamental wrong in life. That kind of anger comes out of a passionate belief that life could and should be better than it is. When you are willing to listen to the person's injured hope, you have a starting point.

The widow in Jesus parable will not give up until she gets justice.

Jesus says the judge is dishonest and wanted a bribe.
According to William Barclay, this man had to be a gentile, Roman appointed judge. The jews took their disputes to tribunals, but these judges were notorious for being corrupt.

Thanksgiving Sets Us Free

A South African man surprised nine men robbing his home. Eight of the robbers ran away, but the homeowner managed to shove one into his backyard pool. After realizing the robber couldn't swim, the homeowner jumped in to save him. The Cape Times reports that once out of the pool, the wet thief called to his friends to come back. Then he pulled a knife and threatened the man who had just rescued him.

The homeowner said "We were still standing near the pool and when I saw the knife I just threw him back in. But he was gasping for air and was drowning. So I rescued him again. I thought he had a cheek trying to stab me after I had just saved his life."1

Some people just don't know how or when to say "thank you"!
Paul writes in Philippians 4:6, "in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving , present your requests to God."

Give Thanks With a Grateful Heart

Luke 12: 13-34
(for Canada's Thanksgiving)

A teacher asked her students to list what they thought were the present Seven Wonders of the World. The students cast the most votes for:

1. Egypt's Great Pyramids 2. Taj Mahal 3. Grand Canyon 4. Panama Canal 5. Empire State Building 6. St. Peter's Basilica 7. China's Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not turned in her paper yet. She asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list.

The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many."
The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help."

The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:
1. to see 2. to hear 3. to touch 4. to taste 5. to feel 6. to laugh 7. to love 1.

I think I would add an eighth--to be grateful, and to be able to give thanks.
A thankful heart is a wonderful treasure.

You Will Always Be Rich Enough to Be Generous

2 Corinthians 9:6-15 

I love hearing stories of faith. I especially love the ones in which someone up against incredible odds puts their faith God, and follows the Lord's plan rather than their own. That takes courage.

Many of you will remember the story Del Wergeland shared with us. For those of you who don't know her, Del is a nurse and committed believer who went with a group from her congregation, First Nazarene Church in Victoria, to Honduras following Hurricane Mitch. They pitched in to help, and then came back to report on what they had seen. She was so moved that she began a local drive to collect relief materials and then deliver them to the people of Honduras. Her willingness to go all-out for God has led to the establishment of Victoria's Compassionate Warehouse ministry1. Through multiple miracles of God, Del and her volunteers annually send out hundreds of tons of supplies around the globe. I cannot begin to tell the numerous stories of God's incredible and really miraculous grace that seem to be commonplace with Del and her group.

Midnight for Jeremiah

Jeremiah 32:1-15

June 18, 1940. Winston Churchill stands in the British Parliament to address his country and its government. France had fallen to Hitler and the British expeditionary forces narrowly escaped at Dunkirk. It was the darkest period of World War Two. He gave a famous speech in which he said the Battle of Britain was about to begin and concluded with these words that have gone down in history:

The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour."
