PASTORS LETTERGreetings fellow pilgrims,

As many of you know, I recently returnedfrom a two week pilgrimage to the Holy

Land. This pilgrimage was part of my threeyear commitment to a pastoral spiritual sup-port group of which I am a part called Mace-donian Ministries. This ministry, which isfully funded by the Cousins Foundation inAtlanta, seeks to spiritually support groupsof middle career pastors as they enter thenext season of their ministries.

Sounds exciting right? Although, prior tomy journey I was not so excited. Not onlydid I have the concerns of the churchweighing on my heart, I also had been to theHoly Land two other times. I thought, Howwill this trip be different? Well it was differ-ent and it was a great joy to be on this pil-grimage. There were several things thatmade this journey wonderful. I was sur-

rounded by colleagues who have similar ex-periences. We were led by one of the na-tions leading biblical archeologists, MaxMiller, who was able to connect scripture tothe sites we were seeing. One of Maxs mostused phrases was, tradition says Whichmeans, we dont have any archeologicalproof that it actually happened at this site.He said, tradition says, many more times

than he said, this is the place.

Hearing, tradition says, so often I began tothink about my faith. As I walked througharcheological site after site I began to thinkabout what my faith is built upon. Have Ibuilt my faith on having to say this is the ex-act spot where Jesus was born, or preached,or died, or was buried? Have I built my faith

on tradition says or have I built it on faith antrust. It was nice to go back to Galilee, Nazaretand Jerusalem to see the sites, but I learned ver

quickly that my faith is not built on these fallestones, but is built on the life and teachings oJesus of Nazareth. The one I have come to knoas the Messiah.

As neat as it is to be able to say, this may be thexact spot where Jesus Whats more impresive, to me, is to just stand and look over thplaces and hear the history of the land wher

Jesus walked, sought justice, kindness, and mercy for all of Gods children. So as you journey oyour pilgrimage of faith, may your faith be buinot on the tradition of the rocks but on youfaith in the One who walked, taught and dieon these rocks.

With faith in Christ,

Missing You Already

I believe that God brought me to Ft. King Presbyterian Church 9 1/2 years ago. It has been a dream mission fome having the wonderful Ft. King family to consider as my own and to serve the church in all of its many andvaried activities. I have loved the journey.

I am looking forward to retirement and all the experiences that are in store for me in the next phase of my life. am, at the same time, filled with regret at having to saying good-bye to the day to day workings of the church.

I did not want to leave without trying to express how much you all mean to me. When I first came to Ft. Kingwhen someone would say that they loved me, I would be taken aback and not be able to say that I loved them inreturn. You all have taught me the meaning of Christian love and I thank you for your generosity and Godguidance for giving me this tremendous growth opportunity. I love all of you.

I pray that God guides a wonderful person to Ft. King to support all of you and the good ministry of the church.Blessings, Chris Muramatsu

CONGREGATIONAL CARE (continued)

Mr. PeeWee Therapy Dog

Pictures speak a thousand words, so I don't know what to say except we are enjoying the interaction withall the folks we are lucky enough to visit. We visit 20 to 30 residents at Emeritus East, including the Alz-

heimer's unit. Obviously, we get more out of bringing smiles to folks with Mr. PeeWee, than they wouldever know. It is good therapy for them and even better therapy for Mel and me. Melvin had no idea hewould enjoy going to Emeritus East so much! We look forward to it every Thursday morning. We also tookMr. PeeWee over there on Halloween. Mr. PeeWee and I were good pirates. Arrrrrrf!

We are volunteers at Wyomina Park Elementary School. This past April Mr.PeeWee and I went there tovisit the 5 kindergarten classes and do a little half hour program with each class talking about pet responsi-bility; reading them a story book about a dog that was rescued at a shelter; and answering their questionsabout Mr. PeeWee's own rescue story. He was rescued in Mississippi by us, and he had a dislocated hip andan umbilical hernia to be repaired as soon as we returned to Ocala the next day.

He and I passed 4 certifications of obedience including the Canine Good Citizen training certificate, recog-nized by the state of Florida, so that we could be a therapy dog to senior communities, schools, and ourchurch. This training was made possible by a grant from a friend of ours, at no cost to our church. So, if wecan brighten your day with a visit from us and Mr. Pee Wee, we will be glad to do so. Call Jean at 352-625-1667.

WORSHIP (continued)

Tonie and I in 1957, Ready for the Church Christmas Pageant at St. Paul Church.

Reunion!

At the end of this month, I will be in New Orleans for a very special occasion. It will be the 175thanniversaryof the church I attended until I was 12. St. Pauls Lutheran Church was founded in 1840, along with a school.It was started by a group of German immigrants. The church is quite beautiful and the stained glass windowsare magnificent. I was baptized in this church, had my first communion in this church, went to the churchschool until the 9thgrade and played the organ for the first time for our schools weekly chapel service when Iwas 11 years old. It holds a lot of memories for me and I have life-long friends and classmates that still worshipat St. Pauls. In fact, some of their grandchildren go to the school today.

It will be a lot of fun to see all my friends at the school celebration on Saturday, February 28thand then wor-ship with them on Sunday, March 1st. Im especially excited about playing the organ for that special anniver-sary service. Of course, it will be a grand arrangement of Martin Luthers A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.

As I was thinking about seeing my buddies, I began to wonder what some of them would look like since Ihad not seen some of them for 50 years. I know I havent changed much just a little older with white hair, alittle heavier, too. Then there is my first girlfriend, Tonie. When I was 5, I told her Grandmother not toworry about Tonie anymore, I would take care of her. Weve been friends ever since. Im really excitedabout seeing everyone and talking old times. But I also have some apprehension: what will it be?

A familiar hymn came to mind while I was thinking about the reunion, Face to Face. You know, you cantalk to folks on the telephone, write letters and so forth, but theres nothing like being with them face to face.

Face to face with Christ, my Savior,Face to face, what will it be,When with rapture I behold Him,Jesus Christ Who died for me?

Only faintly now I see Him,With the darkened veil between,But a bless'd day is coming,When His glory shall be seen.


9/14

WORSHIP (continued)

Face to faceFace to faceFace to faceFace to face- the second verse is so revealing to me because right now, there is quite a distance between meand my former classmates. And there has certainly been a few decades since Ive seen them. Only faintlycan I imagine them with the darkened veil between. And its the same with Christ. I can only imagine

what my reunion with him will be. But a blessd day is coming, when His glory shall be seen.

What rejoicing in His presence,When are banished grief and pain;When the crooked ways are straightenedAnd the dark things shall be plain.

I know Im going to have a good time being with all of them. There will be laughter, some good tears as werecall the days of the past, and sadness at the loss of some of our classmates. But Ill bet there will be morerejoicing when we get together.

Face to faceFace to faceFace to faceFace to face the third verse indicates to me just how this reunion will be: rejoicing in the joy of being to-gether again. The unknown occurrences in our lives will be made plain. The grief and pain of classmateswho have passed on will be banished. This is just as it will be when we come face to face with Christ What rejoicing in His presence!

A lot of information will be shared. A load of questions will be asked and answered. What do they look likenow will certainly be revealed. And then there will be the lets stay in touch and well all go our way.

Face to faceFace to faceFace to faceFace to face It will be a wonderful time. It will be time of bliss. It will be a time of seeing each other. Itwill be a time of knowing more about each other. My class was very unique. You see, we started our journey

together in September, 1954 in Kindergarten and we graduated together as 9 th graders in June, 1965. Webonded. We were like family. We loved each other, and still do.

Face to face, oh, blissful moment!Face to face, to see and know;Face to face with my Redeemer,Jesus Christ Who loves me so.

So it is with our reunion with Christ. What a glorious time! Face to face and all things revealed. Face toface with my Redeemer. Face to face with Jesus Christ Who loves me, and you so!

With a song in my heart,

Rick

Something To Think AboutDeception

Genesis 12:10-20

Because of a famine in Canaan, Abraham decided to go to Egypts greener pastures so he wouldnt gohungry. He convinced his young wife, Sarah (we are told elsewhere she would have been +/- 65 years old!)because she was a beautiful woman (v. 11), that the Egyptians would kill Abraham (her husband) so the Pharaoh could have her (see Genesis 26: Isaac does the same thing with his wife Rebecah). There is no historicaevidence in Egypt for this kind of behavior; it is, however, recorded in II Samuel II that David had Uriah killed

so he could have Bathsheba, since she was already pregnant by David. Abrahams reasoning with Sarah, theclincher of his argument, was this: he would say that Sarah was his sister so that it may go well with me bego well with me bego well with me bego well with me because of you, and my life may be spared on your account. Incredible!!!!cause of you, and my life may be spared on your account. Incredible!!!!cause of you, and my life may be spared on your account. Incredible!!!!cause of you, and my life may be spared on your account. Incredible!!!!

When plagues struck Pharaohs house, he figured things out and threw them both out of Egypt. In themeantime, Abraham had racked up for himself some wealth incattle, in silver, and in gold, so he did quitewell while his sister was Pharaohs concubine! Abraham thought that he simply had no choiceno choiceno choiceno choice: it is lie oit is lie oit is lie oit is lie odie!die!die!die!and then were told it took Yahweh-Gods own involvement to clean up the mess Abraham had left be-hind!

Sisela Bok (1978 Lying: Moral Choice in Public and Private Life) has made keen observations: All deceptive messages, whether or not they are lies, can be more or less affected by self-deception, by error, and by

variations in the actual intention to deceive(op cit. 15). As with Abraham, I must be convinced that a situa-tion is potentially harmful to meto meto meto me upon which I build my deception, and I must persuade others to see realityas I see it, in order to gain their cooperation and to protect myself from harm: I have no choice (recall theNuremberg TribunalNuremberg TribunalNuremberg TribunalNuremberg Tribunal beginning in 1945).

The essence of deception is distraction an act of kindness, generosity, or honesty(Robert Greene1998 The 48 Laws of Power91 f.). To be successful in putting something over on someone, one has to make ilook as if something is to be gained for himself (op cit. 55). And this is a tactic everyone can useeveryone can useeveryone can useeveryone can use! Well, maybe. Plato presented his case for who should lie and get away with it in his Republic Book III389:

If anyone at all is to have the privilege of lying, the rulers of the State should be the persons; and they

in their dealings with enemies or their own citizensor their own citizensor their own citizensor their own citizens, may be allowed to lie for the public good.to lie for the public good.to lie for the public good.to lie for the public good. But no

body else should meddle with anything of the kind If the ruler catches anybody beside himself lying in

the State he will punish him for introducing a practice which is equally subversive and destructive o

ship or State.

Only a leader can lie? Really? F. Nietzsche in his Will to Powermade it quite clear what was expected of thecommon folk, oh yes! themorality of truthfulness in the herd:

You shall be knowable, express your inner nature by clear and constant signs otherwise you are dan

gerous your ability to dissimulate is the worst thing for the herd you may not be concealed from

yourself (277, 1883-1888). You must be an open book!You must be an open book!You must be an open book!You must be an open book!


11/14

WORSHIP (continued)Mistrust becomes a source of making people say the truth; if you want me to trust you, you must be

truthful with me! (op cit. 211). Plato was a target for Nietzsche as the man who preferred mental inventions,appearance, as more real than actual reality; so, if you want me to trust you, you must be truthful with me!(op cit. 278 1885). But, how would I ever know? Needless to say, he regarded institutional ecclesiasticalChristianity as the most fatal seductive lie that has yet existed, as the great unholy lie (200, 1887,

1888). He even refers to those who serve the institution as lying little abortions of bigots(200, Wow!);and to refer to a Christian State, or Christian politicsmeans that God is Chief of Staff (211). So whypay any attention to Plato?

We would be remiss if Machiavelli The Prince(1515 CE) were not included. His attitude about peo-ple was direct:

Men are so simple, and so much creatures of circumstance, that the deceiver will always find some-

one ready to be deceived (op cit.XVIII).A Prince should appearto be upright, sober, strong, courageous (op cit. XIX); if he needs to be opposite,since he is already play-acting anyway, he knows how to do it! Ybetcha! Or, as Greene put it: a deceiver hasto appear the paragon of decency while being the commensurate manipulator(Greene op cit. xxii).

Scholars think that Jesus statement in Matthew 5:37 (see independently James 5:12), Your responseshould be yes and no, otherwise was said to avoid the problem of self-justification and deception ofboth oneself and another. Also highlighted is Pilates question to Jesus (John 18:38): What is truth?Pilatewas not being flippant: What is truth for you may not be truth for me!Indeed, since Pilate had the power ofthe Roman Empire in his hand, he had the truth, and that truth is what counted. If this is how it works inhuman society, its a wonder we have any society at all.

Frans de Waal of Emory University wrote that there are three aspects for mutual cooperation betweenprimates:

- cooperation does not require family ties;- cooperation is often based on reciprocity and,- cooperation may be motivated by empathy We identify with others in need, pain or dis-tress.

Humans are the only species to cooperate with outsiders and strangers. Not only do humans have the ca-pacity to create and execute large-scale projects; they also have friends by frequent interaction and havethe ability to impose punishment on those who cheat the system to which we submit becauseon those who cheat the system to which we submit becauseon those who cheat the system to which we submit becauseon those who cheat the system to which we submit because we are hyper-sensitive to public opinion.(my emphasis)(Frans de Waal One for All in September 2014 Scientific AmericanVol. 311, 3, pages 68-71).Really? The statement sounds as if a dominant point of view recooperation can be coerced. We, in the

Church, need to think through the meaning of Jesus I am the way, the truth, and the life(John 14:6), andwhat it means to be a fellowship in Christ.

Is the truth located in so many propositions about Jesus, or in what HeHeHeHe said and did in his life?Ought the truth to be coerced? OK. There are forests of different viewpoints about what is essential to beidentified as a Christian. I prefer to be called a follower of Jesus(Mark 2:14). In any case, we must be verycareful that we any of us! do not misrepresent Jesus and engage in deceptive words and behaviors that areonly consistent with our society/culture in order to maintain the life of the institutional Church. We need tobe more self-critical. A lot to think about.Shalom,Tom
