HOMILY & INSPIRATIONAL  CHRISTIAN TESTIMONY BLOG

brief synopsis of homilies (sermons) I've heard at various churches (june 2013 to Jan 2015)

as i attend numerous churches I hear many homilies, sermons, messages, and try to jot down a word, phrase, paragraph, etc as I listen...so that there's a memorable "takeaway" ...rather than have it go in one ear and out the other. It also helps me make sure the pastor/priest et al is being "honest" and not tryin to "slip one past" us. Sometimes "they" do get a bit lazy at times, and at least I can comment on it later on this blog

BETTER UNDERSTANDING:
"An awful lot like what Jesus says in this
passage, doesn’t it? They’re even more alike once one
realizes that the Greek word for “woman” and “wife”
happens to be the same. In this passage, Jesus
reminds his audience that the Law not only prohibits
adultery, it prohibits coveting. This is not so much an
intensification of the Law as it is a reminder of what
the Law already says. And just as the Law itself was
intended to be fulfilled, Jesus intends his words here
to be followed (and that following them is entirely
possible)..."
tt 26:12)
So it is clear that the grammar is reflecting purpose :
“anyone who looks at a woman in order to covet
her.” (“Covet” is preferable here in part because
“covet” better reflects the intentionality reflected in
the passage.) This is a critically important point; Jesus
is not suggesting that any sexual thought or
inclination towards a woman is sinful. Nor is he
suggesting that such thoughts or attractions being
triggered by a look are sinful. The look is not the
problem (nor is the presence of a beautiful woman,
which some of that day tended to blame as the real
problem); no, these are assumed. What is remarkable
(given the popular misinterpretation) is that Jesus
likewise assumes the presence of sexual desire in the
man as a given, and that sexual desire isn’t seen as
the problem. Instead, Jesus addresses the matter of
intent, of volition, the purpose of the look. The issue
is not the appetite itself but how a man directs this
natural appetite and inclination.
is fits well within the immediate context;
throughout this section of the Sermon on the Mount,
Jesus is pointing out the root causes of the sins
enumerated in the Law. Yes, adultery is a sin, but the
sin has entered the heart the moment one
determines to seek it out. The moment a man even
looks at a woman for that purpose, adultery has
already polluted the heart. This is the line between
natural sexual attraction and the “coveting”
prohibited by the Law: the Law forbids directing
one’s desire towards that which is not lawful. Jesus
does not condemn the desire but the action taken on
the desire..."

The biggest problem with the way these verses are
usually explained is that it misplaces the focus away
from the will, from the commitment of the heart,
towards a condemnation of the natural desires
human beings are created having. Young men in
many churches are effectively told that there is
something inherently sinful in their sexual impulses.

*(st james,8a) re matthias taking place of judas,.priests wear res today.,"so that your joy may be complete"...find joy,hope,loving good way,.."love one another" [LOA]..This is the witness we give to the world..live in His love,way we deal w others..joy & hope,compassion..ask lord to truly reign in our hearts,..
*(american priest,cat lab,6a) lord provides ,st matthias iene of the great..not much said re him,.must assume what heard is a description..there was prayer & thought..lord must have had these words in mind..had to choose sb who was keeping these cmmndmnts..and joyful,& sb who was a friend of Jesus & of the apostles..a descr of matthias,but should also be us."I have chosen You"..we cannot "choose Christ" so to speak,but must be chosen,elected

*saddleback: frank turek preaching re "was Jesus intolerant?" Clip from "Son of God" re Jesus cleansing the temple,overturning tables http://crossexamined.org/dr-frank-turek/ . The command to not judge is a command re HOW to judge..ie don't judge hypocritically,not a command to not make judgments at all (and what about judging in terms of eternal life or not?). Jesus was not barney,not mr rogers,...yes he was kind but he was also tough." "Evangelism is one beggar showing another beggar where the food is.."
"Not praying for people,but preying on people" (he criticizes so-called "prosperity gospel"...this is a cheap criticism...he mentions televangelists...its a cheap critique,like a sermon about people being jerks on the freeway)...& comparing the corruption of the temple at the time of Jesus to asking for donations for the church is not a fair analogy)...the point of asking for donations...actually tithes..,whether a tv ministry or any other ministry or church is not so much for the well-being of the ministry but a good faith test of believers..so even if u give to a ministry that is wasteful or greedy..if u give in good faith not knowing the ministry or church is insincere, it WILL be counted as an act of faith by God. If,however,u know a ministry is "bad" & give to them,then u r being wasteful,a bad steward.re Chris Hitchens the atheist..sum him up as "there is no god & I hate him"; when he talks to atheists he asks them "If Christianity were proven true to u would u believe it"? And they say NO,...then why r we even here? We can give them the arguments & proofs all day long but it won't change anything if they don't believe in truth. YES! , Next point,"sex is fire"..outside of the boundaries it will burn your house down...;"if u even look at a woman lustfully..." its impossible,that's the whole point..only Jesus can fulfill perfectly. Christians should be intolerant of evil,...ie "loving".

No,stephen gets killed right away,..God chooses saul,the enemy of Christ, to become the great missionary.; why did God send an angel?  Hail full of grace ...meaning rejoice, thn calls her by full title, "hail full of grace" rather than by name.only time an angel does so."GRACE ...is God's life in us".God desp.wants to put His life in us.its necessary, what word paul uses for grace? Charis, ie eucharist...to fill w grace,life,become walking tabernacles like mary. Holy spirit will overshadow mary. God tells Sara/sarai wife of  Abraham she will have a son at age 90.she laughs....and will be named laughter (esau)...abraham /abram means "father of many,father of great many" but up to that point they had no children...Gen 22 "God put Abe to the test..take son Isaac..your only one who u love,go to..offer son as sacrifice..on 3rd day..sight of place from afar "...why this last line so imp? 3 days he must walk knowing what he must do..."God I don't understand u,but I trust u..." moriah is now called calvary..just outside jerusalem.male sheep in thicket of thorns.aha!

Note: I've picked up on a significant deficiency in understanding of "Jesus Christ" in the church,in general..primarily that the church tends to preach about the "historical Jesus" more than the current "Body of Christ"..more about "He" than "we", and more about "when He returns" than "when we return", because when ;He returns it will be,in fact, "when we return" at least in terms of those who have already died & gone to heaven & then those who are still alive & are believers...will merge with the heavenly body of Christ into one complete body...but right now WE on earth who believe are the earthly body of Christ and have,or should hav the power of Christ..if we r truly united & believing
8a st james,"cast your net on the other side", peter had humility & did so..we miss out bc we limit what god can do..go deeper in spiritual life,god's ways not your ways..jesus reminds peter..re purpose on earth..by virtue of baptism...to disciple others..ever opp & conv.
