Lindsey and I have been mildly addicted to a TVseries for the last few weeks called The Tunnel.

A British/ French crime drama, its notfor the squeamish... One of the leading roles isFrench detective Capitaine Elise Wassermann,

who is a brilliant policewoman but who hasthe social skills of a lead pipe.

In one episode, Wassermann is invited fora meal at her British colleagues house.Her reaction to his culinary skills is

typically blunt: Its bland. Do you have any Tabascosauce?

Were just about to start a new teaching series on the lifeof a man who could never be described as bland. Onthe contrary, the prophet Elijah is one of the mostcolourful, provocative, charismatic characters in the whole of theBible. Hes an extraordinarily enigmatic figure, and yet is at the sametime profoundly human - full of very normal human doubts and fears andemotions. In fact James in his New Testament letter makes that verypoint - Elijah was a man just like us. Personally I find that really

encouraging.But as Ive been preparing for this series, Ive also been really challenged

by the simple fact that whatever his faults, you always knew where Elijahstood - 100% for the LORD. An unknown man from a backwater place, he

was called to stand against evil in the most turbulent and violent anddecadent of times - and he did it consistently. Sometimes he feared for hislife, but he was never afraid just about what othersmight think.

So when God considers how to use us, will his plans beaffected by our being too fiery, or too bland? IanIf youd like to know more about what our friends in the other

As this magazine is going to print, our newest link mission workerSarah Macarthur is boarding her plan to Peru. You can find morenews from Sarah later in the magazine, but the following update wasposted at 06:00 on 25th January 2014:

Emulsion

As Im about to board my plane I feel various

emotions running through me. Excited, scared,

peaceful, sad, and so many more I cant de-

scribe.

The title of this may confuse you but its one ofthose words and moments between friends

when the only explanation you can give is you

had to be there.

Most of my sadness is based on what Im leaving

behind and what Im going to miss. I already know of 2 weddings that

I will sadly miss. But also the growing up of my nieces, nephew and

dear friends. In my youth work days there was a song out that wascalled wear sunscreen and I could sing it word for word! One line

that has always stuck with me though is Understand that friends

come and go but to those precious few hold on. You know who you

are and Im sorry I couldnt say the words goodbye but you know Im

always praying and thinking of you all.

On the excited side Im looking forward to what God is calling me

to. To step out in complete faith knowing not only is He beside me

but Hes ready to guide me every step of the way.

A friend gave me a card with these words on it.

God can see the road ahead of us. He charts our course

to take us on the best route. He knows the most scenic

and exciting trails. He knows where to find the quietest

valley so we can rest. Psalm 139:3 You chart the pathahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every

moment you know where I am.

Peebles Baptist Church

On behalf of all of us at Peeblesshire Youth Trust (PYT), I am writing tothank your congregation for their kind donation of coffee and hot choco-late which they very generously donated to our Christmas Hampers inNovember last year.

Although PYT has been delivering Christmas Hampers to families in needacross Peeblesshire for the last five years, this was my first year of beinginvolved in the project and, perhaps a little naively, I was surprised andhumbled to learn that so many families in our local community are strug-gling in various ways at this time. Each year the number of families nom-inated by Social Services, Schools, Citizen Advice etc., has increased andprior to Christmas our team of volunteers packed and delivered a record64 hampers containing staple food items, sweet treats and toys donated

by Radio Borders Cash for Kids Appeal, to nominated families.

Our volunteer feedback from parents, as well as grandparents, siblingsand other family members who care for some of the families who receivedour hampers, included a very warm welcome and grateful thanks, togeth-er with tears from some and hugs from others. This feedback, together

with the support of local organisations, individuals and churches likeyour own, made the task of fundraising, collecting donated food itemsand sorting, packing and delivering the hampers truly worthwhile, notonly for me but for all the volunteers involved.

May I take this opportunity to thank you and your congregation for mak-ing me so very welcome when I came along to your Harvest ThanksgivingService to tell you a little bit about PYT's Christmas Hamper initiative. Ireally enjoyed the service and felt truly uplifted afterwards. The generousdonation of tins of hot chocolate and jars of coffee which followed in De-cember was hugely appreciated and I have no doubt these items went a

long way to making the festive season a little more special for the 64 localfamilies who received our hampers.

Wishing you all a happy, healthy and blessed2014.

Kindest regards

Grace Mitchell

VENUE CHANGE: now at Peebles Evangelical Church

Spaces are limited to 10 for this evening, so please give your names to

Morag or Lindsey the first 10 women who respond will get a place.

Discover Batik with Frances Hider

If you love colour, enjoy working with fabric, and are happy to have a go,

this is the class for you.

Batik is a method of using wax on cloth to resist the flow of dye and create

unique and original designs.

In this two hour workshop we will be working on fine cotton, with hot

wax and fibre reactive dyes. We will stretch the fabric on wooden frames

to provide a firm canvas. You will learn about the dyes and colour mixing

as well as how to apply the wax to fabric to give shape, line and texture to

your artwork.

You will be guided through the learning process with a tutor led project.

There will be plenty of images and ideas available to inspire you, but if

you have a motif or shape you like, bring it along.

At the end of the evening you will have a cushion cover sized piece of fab-

ric art work that is completely original and of your own design.

Suitable for beginners and those with experience.

What to Bring

Roll of Kitchen Paper Towel

A pair of latex type gloves to protect hands from the dyes A jar for water to wash dye brushes

An apron or overall to protect clothes (wear old clothes)


11/24

A soft pencil for marking your design on the fabric. A 4B pencil works

well.

If you have an old embroidery ring or a small wooden frame (no more

than 12x12) bring it along as it is handy to have a tester piece.

Cost per person: 2.50 per personMaximum no: 10

Thursday 27thMarch

Venue to be confirmed

Sue Swift came and talked to Diversity in November, and told us all about

the forthcoming BMS trip to Kolkata. We learned a lot of information

about life for women in Kolkata where the sex trade is a fact of life for

hundreds of women and girls. Those present were touched by what weheard and we committed to pray for Sue and her friends as they go on the

mission trip, and to pray about the situation in Kolkata. (See back page

for more information about the trip.)

Getting to Know YouChristine Drummond

My faith journey and family background were outlined in the Magsome years ago, so this time Ive focussed on working life. Writing ithas made me feel very old so many of the places where I worked nolonger exist!

Dad got me my very first job, on Saturdays in Cochranes of Paisley, arather up-market and very busy Department Store in those far-off

days. Clearly no one had interviewed or even seen me before assigningthe job of sales assistant on the Lancme perfume counter. At four-teen I was even more unbraw than I am in my sixties, and (despite thebest efforts of my clothes-conscious Mum) just didntbelong in theworld of fragrance and fashion!

Next, my Ayrshire Grandma used her contacts to arrange for me andmy friend Susan to be offered waitressing jobs at Netherhall Christian

Guest House in Largs. That was closer to my comfort zone. Weworked weekends and school holidays at Netherhall for several years,and managed to avoid dropping anyones dinner on the floor oranointing any unfortunate guest with gravy - as one or two of our col-leagues notoriously did. There were a lot of split shifts, starting veryearly in the morning and finishing late at night, but we relished thetime off in the afternoons, walking into town to browse in Simpsonsbookshop or to feast on banana splits, knickerbocker glories and other

delights in the wonderful art-deco Nardinis.

In the summer of 1970 I found myself a job, as a Ward Orderly in theRoyal Alexandra Infirmary. This was a role somewhere between do-mestic and nursing assistant there was a lot of interaction with pa-tients (as well as a lot of horrible tasks like howking out the hair andgeneral muck caught round the wheels of patients trolleys!) I abso-lutely loved being on the wards, but by the time I discovered this, hadalready accepted a place at Glasgow University to study English andHistory.

Going to Uni was another instance of some-one else finding me a job I drifted theresimply because it was what parents andschool expected. I became more disenchant-

ed each year, leaving in something of a huffafter a scathing exchange with an Eng Lit tu-tor at the end of third year. During these ra-ther bleak times I often envied Susan, whohad been independent-minded enough to en-rol for Nurse Training straight from school.(I eventually did complete my degree - andrediscover a passion for history with the

Open University, truly a great British institution.)

In 1971 my friend Margarets Mum found us summer jobs - waitress-ing again, this time at the Kingsmuir Hotel in Peebles. Im forevergrateful to June MacLean and her late husband Ewan, who (along withtheir lovely family of six children) put us up and put up with us forthe whole university vacation. There were lots of Fawlty Towersmoments at the hotel (for example, an entire bus party trooping in for

lunch when the cupboard was bare and the cook was in Edinburgh the owner having marked their booking on the wrong date!) but thiswas a very happy time. It was the summer I met Frank!

After University I spent some time with Birmingham Social Services,benefitting from a training arrangement that gave valuable (thoughsometimes very distressing) experience in a range of care settingsacross the city. Brum was my first experience of ethnic diversity. I

loved the city; whenever I hear the accent I still get acute pangs of nos-talgia.


14/24

From there I went on to complete Social Work training at TeessidePolytechnic. I loved Middlesborough, too; folk blethered to strangersat bus stops and in the shops in a way that reminded me very much ofhome in the west of Scotland; there was beautiful countryside close by,and in those days, uniquely spectacular sunsets, coloured by the pollu-tion from the petrochemical industry!

On qualification I returned to Scotland to get married, and workedfirst as an almoner (oh, was I out of my depth!) and then in residentialchild care, running a small family group home in the Borders. Dur-ing this time we got to know May and Alastair Sinclair. May was socialworker to two of the girls we looked after; if she happened to find uswith a sinkful of dirty dishes when she visited, she just rolled up hersleeves and helped out! Her high professional standards and quiet

faith made a huge impression at a time when I had locked God out ofmy life.

When our own boys came along I was able to take time out from paidemployment; being a mum still seems the best and most rewarding jobin the world. I did various part-time jobs once Hamish and Kennethwere at primary school (amongst these, my favourite was being a post-ie - except on wet, windy days!) After both boys were at High School and this time, after a lot of prayer - I trained in mental health nursing.It was a great privilege to learn at Dingleton Hospital, which had aninternational reputation as a pioneer therapeutic community.

In 1995 Frank was transferred to a particularly demanding post atCouncil HQ. We felt that if I were to continue working shifts atDingleton, family life might suffer. Rather reluctantly I returned toSocial Work after graduation, but very fortunately was enabled to fo-cus on work with people affected by dementia. It might sound trite,but both social work and nursing afforded the privilege of meeting themost wonderful people, often dealing bravely with heartbreaking cir-cumstances.

In choosing jobs I was sometimes guided by other peoples opinions,and sometimes by my own inclinations. It was only after my careerbreak to bring up the family that I began to pray seriously about workand yet looking back I can see Gods guidance through so many cir-

cumstances. It was entirely because of work that I came to Peebles. IfId known as a wee girl, growing up in the Glasgow urban sprawl, thatmost of my life would be spent amongst such beautiful countryside, Idhave been overjoyed. I thank God from the bottom of my heart thattruly The lines are fallen unto me in pleasantplaces.

The Peru-bound plant propagatorAnother of our IMC trainees is waving goodbye to the UK this weekend.Before she goes, plant propagator Sarah McArthur talks about missionalgardening and her ten-year call.

Green-fingered Sarah McArthur flies to Peru on Saturday with

BMS World Mission. But what does growing beautiful rhodo-dendrons have to do with mission?

If you can teach people how to grow things, how to grow crops to feedthemselves, youve got a way in to be able to talk to them about God, saysSarah. Well be teaching about seeding and weeding, like Jesus did in alot of parables.

Heading to Nauta, in the exotic Amazon rainfor-

est, Sarah is going to be using her gardeningskills to help the local community. She hopes to

work with young people too. One of my pas-sions is to teach kids gardening, says Sarah. Toteach them what its all about and how to growthings. And then as you teach them that, relating

it to what God says in the Bible, that gives them skills that they can getjobs with in the future.

Mission has been on Sarahs heart for the last ten or so years. Born in Ku-wait and moving around as a child, she feels that God gave her the desireto serve in other cultures when she was little.


17/24

From a very early age God gave me a passion for different nationalitiesand for lots of different people, she says. I think from a very early ageGod placed it on my heart, and over the last three years Ive actually donesomething about it. And Ive felt Gods confirmation that now is the timefor me to use the skills that hes given me.

Excited to get to Peru, learnSpanish and start work with localpeople outside in the sunshine,Sarahs journey with BMS is just

beginning or it will, after shessuccessfully squashed two years

worth of luggage into one bag!

Please pray for Sarah, that her

desire to use her practical skillsto serve God will result in manychanged lives in Peru.

Pray:

for Sarah as she leaves her family and friends for Peru.

that she can really get to grips with Spanish in her first six monthsof language learning.

for her living accommodation when she gets to Nauta, as that is cur-rently undecided. And please also pray for Sarah to make good con-nections with the BMS team and local people in Nauta, to settle wellinto life in Peru and to know Gods presence with her.

Peebles Baptist Church is now linked to four sets of BMS

mission workers: Sarah McArthur, in Peru;

Rachel and Tim Eagle and their family, based in Mozambique;

Andy & Jutta Cowie, based in Haiti;

Ann & David MacFarlane, in Italy.

Not like the Stoics

We dont gain strength like the stoics. They arent looking for anything

outside themselves. Their focus is to keep going and not to show anyweakness. If theres a problem, they grin and bear it indeed, if theyacknowledge that it exists at all. Paul was no stoic. He had a weakness, athorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet him. Paul did not put ona brave face. Three times he asked the Lord to take it away. I think thatthis refers to his engaging in fervent prayer, maybe with fasting. Clearlyhe wanted it off his back, but the Lord said to him, My grace is sufficientfor you for my strength is perfected in your weakness.

Strength is perfected in weakness. What does that mean? Hey, soldiersbe strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Come on pull your-self up. No. Paul is the one writing, the chief soldier. And what a sol-dier! He was crying out to God, asking him to get the thorn out of his life.Have you noticed he doesnt just state what God said about grace,strength and weakness, but begins with the words, But he said to me?Ive underlined that phrase in my Bible. Paul is strengthened because he

knew what God had said to him. Thats why he could declare, Ill glory inmy weakness! Ill boast in it, so that the glory of God can rest upon me.

So when you wonder if you can keep up with others and you feel that eve-

He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength isperfected in weakness

(2 Cor. 12:9)

Part 4:

Strength Perfected in Weakness


19/24

ryone else is more capable than you are, call on God and hear him say,My strength is perfected in weakness. I love you. I called you. I chose

you. Ill strengthen you. Paul celebrated his weakness. This is the wonderof Christian strength. Its not about pulling ourselves together but abouthearing from God.

Hear the words

When Daniel was seeking God and fasting, one came to him and said, Oman of high esteem, dont be afraid. Peace be with you. Take courage, becourageous (Dan. 10:19). As soon as he spoke, Daniel received strengthand said, You have strengthened me. If we keep saying to ourselves, I

must pull myself together well have a nervous breakdown. But if we hearthe words, My grace is sufficient, well go on for ever and ever.

The secret of being content

Paul says, Ive learned the secret. Im familiar with weakness. Ive learnedto be content (Phil. 4:12). This is interesting because here Paul uses a

fairly well known technical phrase associated with initiation into one ofthe mystery religions. That phrase is: I have learned the technique. Paul

borrows it and applies it to the secret of being content. Then he goes on tosay, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

We can be tempted to think that this verse about being able to do allthings through Christ actually refers to amazing ministries, power andsigns. We desperately need these things in the church, but Paul isnt talk-ing about them here. Rather, hes focusing on coping with pressure. Heslearned to do all things through Christ. Hes gained strength by the Spirit

within him.

Title: Theo Media: The Media of GODand the Digital Age

Author: Andrew Byers

Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers

Release date: 22 July 2013

Page extent: 252 pp

Price: 18

It's hard to imagine that only 20 years ago nobody had heard of the Inter-net, and only 10 years ago Facebook and Twitter had yet to be invented.Today, there are 1.15 billion Facebook users, 400 million tweets per day,and adults spend an average of 8.5 hours per day in front of a screen.Now we're all rampant consumersand producersof digital media.

Christians are divided on what to make of this recent flood of digital tech-nology. Generally speaking, evangelicals are either "determinists" or"instrumentalists" when discussing media technology. On the deterministside are intellectuals like Jacques Ellul, Neil Postman, and MarshallMcLuhan who warn that technology comes with its own set of values thatshape (and erode) culture almost apart from human agency. People whodecry the corrupting "force" of Instagram or iTunes would also be in this

camp.On the other side are instrumentalists, who view media like Facebook orTwitter as either neutral tools or unfettered allies in the work of the gos-


21/24

pel. They ask, like Leonard Sweet, not "Would Jesus Tweet?" but "Whatwould Jesus Tweet?" There are certainly wise moderate voices in betweenthese two extremes (John Dyer's fine bookFrom the Garden to the City:The Redeeming and Corrupting Power of Technology comes to mind).But arguably most evangelicals fall into a dazed middle ground, postingstatus updates, "pinning" pictures, and hashtagging away with little

thought for how the Christian story might inform their media usage.

But Andrew Byers, a chaplain and PhD student at the University ofDurham, is trying to reorient the conversation. "If God creates and usesmedia," he writes, "then there is a theological logic instructive for how weproduce and use media technology today." This, the central claim ofByers's new book TheoMedia: The Media of God and the Digital Age(Wipf & Stock), is what makes the book such a valuable contribution to

the burgeoning conversation about Christian faith and digital media.Byers argues that God doesn't just give a thumbs up or down to our mediapractices, but that he himself "creates and uses media." So does God blog,tweet, and appear on cable television? Not exactly. Byers's definition ofmedia is far broader than TVs, iPads, or online newspapers; media issimply "a means of communication or revelation." Words or gestures,

buildings or symbols, prophets or idolsall could be forms of media.With this more expansive definition in mind, Byers reexamines the bibli-

cal story, from the "media event" of creation to its apocalyptic finale. Hispurpose is both to understand how God himself employs media and tocraft a theological framework for our media usage and production today.

Priority on Words

The Bible puts God's vast media repertoire on display. Dreams, visions,

symbols, plagues, deliverancesall are chosen mediums for God's revela-

tion. Sparkling stars, mighty cedars, and whispering breezes speak of his

power and divine nature (Ps. 19:1, 104:16; 1 Kings 19:11-18; Rom. 1:20).

Golden cherubim, purple yarn, fine metals, and sweet-smelling cinnamon

that adorned the Tabernacle communicate his holiness and love for beau-

ty (Ex. 28:2, 40). To break the silence, apparently God can even use the

weird and wacky. A smoking fire pot, a talking donkey, a burning bush,

Aaron's budding staff, and even a bronze statue of a serpent are chosen

forms of divine media.Review by Jeff Haanen: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2013/december-web-only/blogging-
