The twin mission of the Church is worldwide evangelization, and nurture and discipline of Christians.

WrathGod is love, right? Yes.There is no hate in God, right? Not
exactly.God hates sin. He absolutely abhors
sin. And, of course, each of us sins.Volume upon volume has been writ-
ten over the ages about God’s hatred of sin, of unrighteousness. But not too many sermons, or even discussions, address the subject. And often when the discussion does occur, it’s misguided.
Perhaps some of the best teachings about God’s wrath can be found in the writ-ings of John McArthur. He well explains the balance between the infinite love of God and the infinite wrath of God. He asks, in one of his sermons, “How can people understand anything about His grace if they don’t know about His law? How can they understand forgiveness, if they don’t understand the penalty of sin. Men cannot understand. They cannot seek grace and salvation unless they are affected with the dread of the wrath of God that is upon them. Unless men sense they are in grave danger there’s no pressure applied to them to change.”
He continues, “…that is not to say that God doesn’t love, but it is to say that you’ll never understand how great His love is unless you know how great His hate is…if you understand that God hates sin so pro-foundly then you will find it all the more amazing that He can love sinners.”
So what is one to do?To start with, seek God. Run after Him
as if you are running for your life – be-cause you are. Seek to understand Him. Scripture tells us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Sometimes we
try to tone down how we talk about God, especially fearing God. It may be the result of the cultural phenomenon called politi-cal correctness; I’m not sure. But we start referring to our fear of God as our respect for God. In reality, it’s the fear that brings respect. It’s coming to that point where you know that, despite the fact that He loves you without measure, He hates your sin so much – absolutely detests it – that He could swat you off the face of Earth. He could. He is God.
But God so deeply loved us – each of us – that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to us and allowed Him to be murdered by an angry mob as a sacrifice, an atonement for our sins. Yours and mine. It is only be-cause of that atonement that we can come before God and say, in fear and trembling, I am Yours. You bought and paid for me at the cost of your beloved Son. I owe my very breath to You. I will use that breath to walk through this world in service to You and to glorify Your Name.
Don’t take my word for it. Take His Word for it.

BlessingsLaura Story, whose rendition of the
worship anthem “Mighty To Save” has become one of the most played songs by a female artist in Christian radio history, is set to release her sophomore album next month.
Once an aspiring symphony conductor, Laura didn’t even know she could sing—much less write songs—until she was in her early twenties. Today, Laura is not only a gifted vocalist and worship leader, but also the composer of some of the most beloved worship songs of our generation, including “Indescribable” and the aforementioned “Mighty To Save.” These songs have topped music charts and been recorded by multiple artists, but more importantly, have helped people all over the world experience our magnificent God.
Laura says she never had any idea her life would be used for such a purpose and is still learning that God’s plan is far deeper and wider than she ever thought possible. Recently, we had a chance to hear from Laura regarding her new record Blessings that will release April 12th. When asked if
she could tell us a little about the title track “Blessings,” she explained, “Blessings,” is probably my favorite on the new CD because it really is a great synopsis of my life over the past few years. Ever since my husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor four years ago, we found ourselves trying to get acclimated to this new normal with the different disabilities that came from that. When God does things unexpectedly in our lives, I think there’s a tendency to ask questions and maybe even doubt His goodness. But what I’m learning is even though everything around us seems to be changing, God really is the constant. Rather than doubt His goodness, I’m learning just to redefine my idea of blessing. Even in the absence of healing and answers, I’m find-ing there’s a depth that comes in my walk and relationship with Him that I would have never known any other way.”
The new single “Blessings” is currently in our music rotation here at Joy! 102.5, so be sure to listen for this incredible new re-lease. Also, you can read more about Laura Story and her amazing journey by visiting her website at www.laurastorymusic.com.

I can remember looking around at everyone as we slowly filed out of the movie theater. Some were dabbing their eyes. Others had blank expressions on their faces. No one was talking. We had all just paid money to sit through
nearly two hours of gore. We had squirmed in our seats as thorns were gouged into a
man’s head, whips were lashed at his back causing skin to rip away, nails were driven into his hands and feet, and enough blood was spilled to nauseate even the most avid horror film fan. But we hadn’t watched Saw or one of its sequels—we had seen a depiction of the historic day when God poured out His wrath on humanity. The recipient, however, was only one man...an innocent man.
For me, watching The Passion of the Christ was uncom-fortable because those horrific events had actually happened; what made it sickening was, as a sinner, it was my fault they had happened. If that is what punishment for sin looks like...a beaten, whipped, slapped, pierced, bleeding, and spat-upon body...then sinning is a severe offense indeed and God must truly be enraged. The film was a sobering reminder of certain things upon which I didn’t care to dwell.
But it reminded me of something else, too, and I didn’t leave the theater feeling devastated, even as gruesome as the images had been and even with the knowledge of my culpabil-ity. Instead, I felt at peace. What pervaded my heart and mind was the sense of being loved.
Because we have all violated His holy law, God has every reason to hate us and wish to blot us out of existence. But His actions speak otherwise. Rather than require us to suffer the consequences we are due, God appointed His perfect Son to bear the burden. In essence, God impaled Himself on that cross through the person of Jesus. And if that is the extent God was willing to go to make possible a relationship with us, His love must be real.
For all the people who ever watched this film, I wonder how many came away from it regarding those scenes as having any further significance, any poignancy beyond the rolling credits. No doubt, many who saw it did so because it is the very basis of their faith...but what about the others? To them, is it just an old story without any relevance in this modern age? Is it just a crutch weak people use to get by? Each person has a decision to make about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Scripture says, “Since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him!” (Romans 5:9). For those who accept this act as a gift and call on Jesus Christ for salvation, God’s anger has been satisfied once and for all. However, for those who are apathetic or blatantly reject the truth, the wrath is yet to come.

Is God full of wrath? Or is He full of love and compassion? Is He the kind of God with a sword in His hand ready to execute judgment on the earth, the
kind of God Jonathan Edwards described? Or is He the kind of God who ate and drank with sinners, who would leave the 99 to rescue the 1?
The answer, of course, is yes, He is. He is all of the above and much, much more.
It’s not a contradiction in God’s charac-ter that He could be full of wrath and full of mercy at the same time. The Christ who appears with a sharp, two-edged sword in Revelation is the same Christ who identi-fied with sinners in the gospels. He has not changed. He is ever the same. He is and has always been both a Righteous Judge and a Savior, yet many of us choose to know Him as either one or the other, which may reveal more about our character than it does His.
To know Him fully is not to know Him as we want Him to be or as we think He ought to be. To know Him is to know Him as He truly is and that’s the great discovery of the Christian life. Who He is, among countless other things, is a God of fierce wrath and unending mercy. He is both and it is a grave mistake to dismiss either part.
These contrasting revelations of God are evident throughout the Scriptures but they are both beautifully illustrated in the story of the Law given on Mt. Sinai, which is found in Exodus chapters 19-32.
Certainly, one wouldn’t have to read very far to note the fierce nature of God as revealed on Mt. Sinai. There was thun-der and lightning, smoke ascended like a furnace, the mountain quaked violently, trumpets blasted so loudly that the people began to tremble and begged to hear no more. In addition to the imposing presence of God, the people were warned to not even touch the mountain or they would imme-diately perish. If ever a scene depicted an angry God, it was this scene at Sinai.
Yet it was Moses who was allowed to enter the thick cloud, and during those 40 days, God revealed His holy character
through the Law. While God revealed His character on top of the mountain, the people revealed their true character at the bottom. With Sinai quaking as a menac-ing backdrop, the people brazenly sinned by creating and worshipping a golden calf, crediting it with saving them from Egypt. Surely, after this unimaginable sin, God’s perfect wrath had found a perfect object on which it could be poured out.
But as He often does, in wrath, God remembered mercy and He provided a way of grace.
According to Deuteronomy 9:21, out of that dreadful mountain (with its fire and billowing smoke and violent shaking) flowed a cool, gentle brook. When Moses discovered the golden calf, he destroyed it and did a most unusual thing:
Moses says, “I took your sinful thing, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire and crushed it, grinding it very small until it was fine as dust; and I threw its dust in the brook that came down from the mountain” (Deuteronomy 9:21).
The brook, of course, was a picture of our Lord Himself, God’s provision of grace. Its flow started in the very presence of God and made its way down to an utterly sinful people. It took that which repre-sented the people’s most vile sin, dissolved them in a moment and carried their sins far, far away. Even after carrying away the people’s sins, the brook became a provision of refreshment as the people drank its cool water. In wrath, God remembered mercy.
This is an amazing contrast but serves as a graphic picture of God’s true character on display: a thunderous mountain illus-trating His holy wrath; a cool, gentle brook illustrating His amazing grace. It need not be one or the other. He is both at the same time. He is ever the holy God that visited Sinai and it would be a grave danger to for-get that. At the same time He is the cool, gentle brook that carries away the foulest of our sins. In wrath, He remembers mercy.
Is He full of wrath? Or is He full of grace? The answer is yes, He is, and much, much more.

“There’s a thin line between love and hate.”
Something about this phrase rings true in our hearts. Sometimes it seems as if the tiniest thing can swing our frail emotions to the polar
opposite in a single heartbeat. A recent news report told of a Florida woman who bludgeoned her roommate over a box of frozen Thin Mints. I’m not a psychologist, but perhaps there was more to the collapse of their friendship than some missing Girl Scout cookies. Still, something clicked and that relation-ship went from cohabitation to mortal enemy in an instant. Fortunately God has patience that is beyond our comprehen-sion. Although we are frequently disobedient, His Grace covers us. His forgiveness is seemingly unending. But God is more than a lover; He is also a judge.
If you’ve ever read the stories in the Old Testament, you’ve seen the Israelites swiftly fall in and out of love with God for centuries! One day everything is copacetic and the land is blessed with prosperity – the next, God’s people would turn their backs on Him. They’d get caught up in their own pride, wooed by the temptations of the world and decide they are better off without the great I AM who just asks so darn much from them. Being a patient Father, God would discipline them (sometimes for hundreds of years), lead them back to His lov-
ing arms and then the same story would begin again. Genesis through Malachi (and perhaps all of existence) is an endless cycle of humanity’s A.D.D. and God’s endless commitment to His cherished ones. God’s relationship with His creation is filled with moments of incredible love, pride and appreciation, followed by intense jealousy and judgment.
It’s easy for modern Christians to think of God in terms of His love. We have enjoyed the gift of the Holy Spirit for two millennia. However, God doesn’t change. Our understanding of love is not complete without accepting that God loves His creation so much that He will discipline us, at times with tragic consequences, to ensure our relationship with Him. Some-times that discipline looks excessive to us, like the time He wiped out almost all life on earth.
Case study: The Flood. Early on in the story of creation, God gets sick of the sinful nature of people. They’re dirty, mean, evil little things - except for one man, Noah. We teach our children of God’s compassion through the story of Noah. We tell them how God gathered cuddly little stuffed animals together on a giant cruise ship with Noah and his family. God saves them all! He protects them and then, to show how much He loves them, He gives them the world’s first recorded rainbow! Imagine how Noah must have reacted to

The Thin Line
seeing a sweeping arch of color across the sky after spending nearly eleven months stuck on a boat filled with literally every type of manure in the world. It’s a beautiful story, right? No. It was a horror movie!
Can you imagine drowning? Every living person (save the eight in Noah’s family) and all the animals ran for high ground. For all we know, they had never seen rain before and were probably terrified at the very concept. Maybe they tried to float for a while. Maybe they had no concept of float-ing. Those who lived near Noah’s neighborhood scratched and clawed at the side of his monstrous boat until they all suc-cumbed to the crashing waves. Noah’s family probably wept in sorrow as their friends and neighbors screamed outside and were suddenly quiet. It is a violent end to creation that in the first couple of verses of Genesis God called “good.” And God unabashedly takes the credit for this disaster.
God was so grieved by the hearts of man that He said, “I am sorry I ever made them” (Genesis 6:7b). He warned Noah, “I am about to cover the earth with a flood that will destroy every living thing that breathes. Eveything on earth will die”(Genesis 6:17). So He destroyed mankind. And not just man – but everything they’d touched and defiled; all animals and architecture. Everything.
Our God is incredibly complex. We don’t have the vocabu-lary to adequately describe Him. We don’t understand Him. The Proverbs say that fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. His anger is truly something to take into account when we make decisions. But we can also take heart that His anger is holy and always geared towards bringing His loved ones back into right standing with Himself. He’s a dichotomy of love and justice and He is also perfect and blameless. Respecting the wholeness of God is necessary for worship, in spirit and truth. We can’t truly sing a song of love and adoration to a god that we only half like. In the Bible, people like Noah, Abraham, David and Isaiah were accepted by God for their faith and righ-teousness. Their lives were characterized by a fierce love of God, but also a firm fear and respect for His complexity.
God hated the sin which had consumed the people of this earth, so He destroyed them. But He was not without mercy. He did not give up entirely on His creation. His plan for redemption was in place from before the beginning and we can trust Him to always be perfect – even when His standard of perfection seems dangerous to our very survival.

When I was a freshman in high school, I reluctantly signed up to take a keyboarding class. It seemed like an archaic skill to have, and I figured my perfunctory mode of typing would be adequate
enough to see me through any papers I’d have to write in the coming years. Unfortunately, the gap in my schedule left me with few options, so keyboarding it was.
The process of memorizing all the different keys involved copious amounts of repetition. It was less than stimulating, to say the least. We would prop our textbooks on stands next to our computer screens and complete page after page of drills. This letter to that letter, this letter to that number, and so on. I didn’t know how much more monotony I could take.
Slowly but surely, however, letter drills became sentences, sentences became paragraphs, and paragraphs became entire documents that we were transcribing. To my amazement, my fingers were actually finding the keys on their own. It had been successfully engrained into my head and I was even enjoying it.
But there was one cardinal rule in keyboarding our teacher always stressed to us. If you didn’t adhere to it, your accuracy and speed would be out the window. You must never take your eyes off the source material. My tendency was to check the textbook for the next written sentence, stuff it in my short-term memory, and then stare at the screen as I tried hastily to type it out before forgetting it.
Invariably, I made a lot of errors and wasted time by having to go back to fix them. Sure enough, when I did as my teacher said and focused intently on the paper, my fingers obeyed more readily and I typed swiftly with fewer mistakes.
In life, I have found that this simple rule in keyboarding can hold true in a far more meaningful way, particularly in a
relationship with the Lord. There, too, is the tendency to stray from the source material—God’s Word. While it is our direct line to helping us understand Him and His will for our lives, we often find other ways to spend our time.
Short-cuts inevitably fail us. Reading Christian books, working in a ministry, or simply attending church on Sunday do not make up for lack of personal meditation on Scripture. The great devotional time we had the other day—or even yesterday—isn’t necessarily the wisdom God has for us today (hence the need for “daily” bread).
Without this constant connection, we soon experience the effects...maybe not immediately, but gradually. The feeling of closeness with God fades and convictions may loosen which makes us more prone to sin. For me, I begin to forget God’s true character. By not reminding myself daily of His goodness, I allow doubts to creep in. Eventually, voices other than His speak louder in my head and my trust is weakened.
As it turned out, keyboarding became the single-most ben-eficial class I would ever take in both high school and college. Since learning it, rarely has a day passed in which I haven’t needed it. (Had I not known how to type during my undergrad years, it’s likely I would still be in my dorm haphazardly key-ing away at one of my English papers.) Over the years, this daily use has allowed me to hone the skill and consistently improve.
As Christians, how much more abundantly important is it, then, to make the practice of reading God’s Word a daily com-mitment. When our eyes are locked in, our hearts and minds are more likely to follow. We will not forget what we need to know and will more readily obey His instruction as we attempt to accomplish the tasks set before us.

As companies across the country continually seek ways to offer consumers innovative improvements in tech-nology that help us to better communicate via phone, email, fax, Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, or even drive
or fly from point “A” to point “B” in a matter of minutes, we as a society have become even more impatient. Isn’t that ironic? We are now living in the microwave generation and there is no turning back.
While we are sitting in morning traffic with our head leaned back against the head rest, aggravated about the long string of cars in front of us slowly creeping along, we should be thankful that we are not still riding in a jolting horse-drawn buggy with an expected arrival time of “all day” to get to our destination. We have come a long way. You would think that we should be living in the least stressful environment of all times, since all these years we have been striving to work smarter not harder. Instead we have to deal with issues like “road rage” once traffic parts and peels back a small path for drivers to whip by us on our drive in to work. Of course, those people are the only driv-ers on the road who need to get somewhere, right?
People becoming angry so easily is a more and more com-mon routine played out far too many times throughout the year. Let’s face it: between November through December, it’s just not safe to go out. Black Friday shoppers are no joke. If you get in their way, you might get plowed over for the latest Wii or Xbox in the name of Christmas. What about December 26th? The stores may be hustling and bustling with more shop-pers looking for bargains, or maybe a man has just come to the realization he spent too much money again this season, and he tries to take back an unwanted gift to try to get some cash back into his pocket. You might expect to see some knock-down, drag-out fights from people who want money back returns with no receipts to show for it, or maybe there is someone arguing with a floor manager about why the store is out of something
that was advertised in their circular. Angry outbursts are also caught on cameras of high rated
reality television shows. It depicts everyday situations with people reacting in unusual or unpredictable ways. Most of these ordinary life events that happen on the show are not the end of the world. It can happen to any one of us, but from the perspective of the person that it’s happening to at the time, it is the end of the world.
Whatever the scenario may look like, people should be mindful of what they say before they say it. Some people may think being a hothead could depend on your personality type, but I’ve found that it depends more on how we perceive some-thing. Do we see the glass half empty, or half full?
God also became angry in the Bible, but his anger, unlike ours, is a righteous anger. He was displeased and regretted making man because of how man was behaving during Noah’s time. Man had become a lover of his self and loved to sin any chance he got. Cain killed his brother Abel. Can you believe it? The first family to ever live on the earth and they blew it for us. Because sin entered into the world through Adam, the only way to solve the problem was for God to pour out his wrath on Jesus for the sin of us all.
With this in mind, what do we really have a right to be angry about? We deserved the punishment, but Jesus is the one who took all the blame. Sin brings death, but Jesus took the death sentence and gives eternal life to anyone who asks for it. We live in a sin-cursed world and yes, bad things do happen; however, its says in Romans 8:28 “. . . all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” If something negative does happen to creep into your life, and you have a relationship with God, it will somehow work together for your good. It’s a win-win situation when God is on your team.
Why Are We So Angry?By April Smart
In My Head
This week I had the opportunity to watch the movie Luther with Joseph Fiennes that came out about five years ago. It struck me how,
as a monk-in-training, Luther would spend hours alone in a room fighting and crying out to God not to strike him down for his vile life (all while his spiritual mentor said Luther had never confessed anything even
remotely “interesting!”) I greatly admire Martin Luther for the spiritual sensitivity that caused him to feel things so deeply and I empathize with him.
It is difficult to be alone with our thoughts because it is then that we see what we are really like. Character, it is said, is who you are when no one is looking, and that may be because it is then we often

Perhaps it is even more difficult to be alone with God. After the Bible is closed and you’ve verbalized your prayers, there is pain in the silent wait for a response. “Lord, I am here to listen. What do you have for me today?” Waiting... Noth-ing... No word from the Lord, no peaceful warmth, simply silence. Is He angry at me? What did I do wrong? Job is a good example of someone from the Bible who simply wanted to hear from God. He was suffering from the loss of his family and property and health, yet he knew that hear-ing from God would be enough for him to accept his circumstances. When we don’t hear from the Lord we can exaggerate our own sins. We think maybe if we prayed in this certain posture with these certain words we could make an angry God “like” us—and respond.
Just between you and me, I know I do not spend enough time alone and circum-spect in thought. However, there comes a point when one must question, “Is this mental torment from God or from Satan?” I have experienced some times, as I’m sure you have, when the source was clear.
Godly Guilt: I attended a Christian university where our physical education required that we keep a log of our exercise throughout the week. For most of my life exercise has equaled torture – for a wheez-ing asthmatic. To be honest, I was not as faithful at exercising as I made it appear on paper. Toward the end of the semester, our professor told us that we would not have to take the final exam if we completed our ex-ercise log as assigned. I turned in my log—with a pit in my stomach for about a week. Finally the Lord had His way with me and I called to make an appointment with my professor to tell him the truth. I took the final exam and felt an incredible sense of internal peace knowing I had obeyed the Lord. Interestingly enough, after our con-versation the professor publicly encouraged anyone in the class who had lied on their exercise logs to come talk with him after class. He would extend them grace – like he had me.
Satan’s Shame: Two years ago I was out shopping on a steamy August day. It was about a week before our anniversary
and I wanted to buy my husband a special gift. I was at one store where it was just the clerk and I alone. I was going through the clothing racks when I began to listen to the words to the song that was going out over the loudspeaker. I hadn’t really “listened” and suddenly I was repulsed as I heard what was being sung. I quickly wrapped up my shopping and the uncomfortable cashier said, “You know, I was surprised that they started playing this on ‘regular’ radio.” When I came home I explained to my husband that the ungodly lyrics were stuck in my head and it grieved me. I felt ashamed that I knew the lyrics and kept thinking about them. Over the course of months I felt that Satan tortured me in an area that could be used as a weakness—my love of music.
In each of these scenarios I could tell without question the source of my mental battles. There are times when a nagging feeling or persistent thought seems like it could be from God or the devil. I think that is particularly the case when we struggle with a habitual sin. We know our sin is repulsive to God, so we can struggle with godly guilt or its ugly stepsister, shame. Guilt leads us to repentance. The Apostle Paul called guilt “godly sorrow” in his let-ter to the Corinthians.
“Yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death” (2 Corinthians 7:9-10).
Shame, from Satan, leads to further sin. If we struggle with shame, it is Satan feeding us the lie that we could never be forgiven and we might as well “go the whole way.” Unfortunately, this spiral leads to a cycle of condemnation from Satan and fear of wrath from a holy God.
The gift a true follower of Jesus Christ receives is freedom from condemnation. Romans 8:1 tells us there is no condem-nation for those who are in Christ Jesus. We receive further encouragement from Philippians 4:13 that, although we may sin, He gives us the power not to sin. We do not have to fear a god who will zap us, but em-brace God our Heavenly Father who hates sin so much He gave us His Son to free us from sins power.

Pharisees and Vipers
By Jill Carattini
“You are nothing but a Phari-see,” said Maggie with ve-hemence. “You thank God for nothing but your own
virtues; you think they are great enough to win you everything else.” Familiar or not with the scathing words of Maggie Tulliver to her brother Tom in George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss, it is clear that she is not speaking complimentary.
The word “Pharisee,” as this in-terchange illustrates, is often used as something of a synonym for hypocrite, a haughty individual with a holier-than-thou air about them. Webster’s dictionary further articulates this common usage, defining the adjective “pharisaical” as being marked by “hypocritical censorious self-righteousness,” or “pretending to be highly moral or virtuous without actually being so.” To be called a Pharisee is far from a compliment; it is to be accused of living with a false sense of righteousness, being blind and foolish with self-deception, or carrying oneself with a smug and hypo-critical legalism.
The etymology of the word from its roots as a proper noun to its use as an adjective is one intertwined with history, drawing on the very tone with which a rabbi from Nazareth once spoke to the
religious group that bore the name. In seven consecutive statements recorded in the book of Matthew, Jesus begins his stern rebukes with the scathing introductions: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites!” “Woe to you blind guides!” His conclusion is equally pejorative: “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How can you escape being sentenced to hell?” (Matthew 23:33). The word “Pharisee” has become far more associated with this critique than the greater context. Thus Maggie can call her brother a Pharisee and not be thinking of the Jewish sect of leaders for which Jesus had harsh words, but of the harsh words themselves.
Yet taking something out of context, even if Webster’s dictionary grants the permission, can be dangerously misleading. These were not always the connotations of the word Pharisee, and we do ourselves and the words of Jesus a disservice by assum-ing that his harsh words are all we need to remember about them. Ironically, the description “pharisaical” would once have been a great compliment. The Pharisees were highly regarded guardians of the strict interpretation and application of Jewish Law. They were known for their zeal and for their uncompromising ways of follow-ing the God of their fathers. It is likely

that the apostle Paul was a Pharisee, and it is suggested that much of his Christian theology owes something to the shape and content of this earlier training. In other words, to be a Pharisee was not an easy life riddled with loopholes and duplicities, like we might assume. The Pharisees were so certain there was a right way to follow God that they sought to follow Him to that very letter with all of their lives.
In this light, Jesus’s words seem a little harsher, his tone a little crueler, and perhaps his warnings a little closer to home. In the Pharisees, Jesus scolded the very best of the religious crowd, those who dedicated everything, and cared the deepest about following God. If Jesus came today into churches and singled out the ministers who work the hardest, the youth who are most involved, and the families who serve most consistently and called them a brood of vipers, we would be hurt and confused and even defensive. This is exactly what happened amongst the Pharisees.
But not all were so defensive that they refused to hear. Nicodemus came to Jesus in the obscurity of darkness and found himself confronted by a conversation about flesh and spirit and light. Nicodemus was a Pharisee, a member of the Jewish ruling council, who was highly regarded. This
most likely explains the veil of night by which he sought to meet Jesus; the com-ments against his fellow Pharisees were not met with open arms. Even so, it was an act of faith to seek out this controversial young man from Galilee; it was an act of humility to grapple with a message that thoroughly confused him, accusations that cut to his very core, and words that called even the God he knew into question. Yet this initial meeting with Jesus was for Nicodemus the beginning of something of a journey. This Pharisee who had come so far in his faith, who had lived so great a commitment to God, had not come so far as to reject the idea that even he needed to stop and turn around. Might the Pharisee in all of us respond similarly.

The other day, I sent the following text to one of my best friends: “My self-pitying 50s have taken a turn 4 the better.” That obviously requires
some background explanation. Previously, I had told this same friend
that I wanted to hold a “Next 30 Years Summit,” in which we would discuss what we were going to do with the second half of our lives. He was all for this, with the exception of the name (he wanted it changed to a more optimistic “Next 40 Years Summit”). Both of us had come to the conclusion that we only have one chance to do something worthwhile in this life, and we didn’t want to fall into a habit of just getting by.
So, you can imagine my surprise earlier this year to find myself in a funk around the time of my 50th birthday. It seemed my aspiration to make the most of life was moving dangerously close to dissatisfaction with the path God had laid out for me. I had been teetering on the verge of chasing dreams, and while nothing is inherently wrong with dreams, something may be out of whack when they have this kind of effect.
But then, as He so often does, the Lord saw fit to allow life here on earth to unfold in all its brutality—we almost lost my father-in-law to a freak incident. We spent the following week camped out at the hos-pital as we watched and waited to see how
he would recover. During that time, someone drew my at-
tention to the song “Lead Me” by the group Sanctus Real. In the voice of a wife speak-ing to her husband, the lyrics say, “Don’t leave me hungry for love, chasing dreams...what about us?” Ugh. It was like a sucker punch to my gut.
This combination of events brought as-tonishing clarity, and I knew exactly what I was to do with my immediate future. My father-in-law’s family was eager for news, so we sent out updates a couple of times each day and stood by my mother-in-law the best we could.
For that week at the hospital, there was no fretting about ascertaining a direction
for the future. We simply walked in the unmistakable path that lay ahead of us. In a strange sort of way, it was refreshing. It isn’t every day that you know you’re doing exactly what you should be and that it’s worthwhile. For me, these times come in spurts, but when they do, they are in-tensely satisfying. It was that sentiment that prompted me to text my friend.
We all desire for the Lord to speak to us. His voice often sounds the loudest in the midst of difficult circumstances. In this case, He reminded me of the path to take in the future: to allow Christ to lead, to love my family, to do the task laid out before me, and to take one day at a time.

Jesus Christ Superstar: Norman Jewison
There is something basically wrong when a musical is based on a musical based on the crucifixion of Christ. This 70’s interpretation, produced by Norman Jewison, might leave you yawning and wishing it were over. Maybe this production just couldn’t pass the test of time, as a bit too much artis-tic prerogative has been exercised for credibility—like cash registers and firearms in the temple marketplace. A viewer unfamiliar with the story surrounding the days immediately preceding the crucifixion of Christ may have great difficulty with the symbolism and absence of dialogue. Possibly only the scene in which the lepers and the poor crawl out from the rocks is well done. Like many Jesus films, the fair-haired, white Jesus and the Centurions wearing purple tank tops may leave a knowledgeable viewer unimpressed – and an unknowledgeable viewer in the dark.
Castaway Kid: R.B. Mitchell
Robby had every reason to feel betrayed. Deserted by his parents at age three and forced to live in an orphanage until his high school graduation, the lonely years had taken their toll. His heart was hardened. Anger and bitterness had consumed him. All hope was lost, or so he thought.
This captivating memoir of the author’s life, though heart-breaking, is a testament to how God beckons to the human heart for a relationship and the change that can take place when He is invited in. It provides reassurance that no matter what trials we have suffered, God is always ready and wanting to pierce through the layers of hurt and restore us with His love.
