A Reflection Before The Service
A Reflection Before The Service
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin’
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’
-Bob Dylan, “The Times, They Are A-Changin ’”from the 1963 album of the same title
When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said ‘Repent’, he intended that the entire life of believers should be one of repentance.
-Martin Luther, the first of the “95 Theses”displayed on the Wittenberg Chapel (1517)
And I’ve always said, you know, that I don’t respect people who don’t proselytize. I don’t respect that at all. If you believe that there’s a Heaven and Hell and people could be going to Hell or not getting eternal life or whatever and you think that, uh, ‘Well, it’s not really worth telling them this because it would make it socially awkward. ’ And atheists who think that people shouldn’t proselytize – just leave me alone and keep your religion to yourself – uh, how much do you have to hate somebody to not proselytize? How much do you have to hate somebody to believe that everlasting life is possible and not tell them that?
– Penn Gillette, comedian/magician and renowned atheist reflecting on a fan offering him a Bible after a show in Las Vegas (www.youtube.com/watch?v=6md638smQd8)

The Call To Worship
Hebrews 1.1-3
God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.
And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power.
When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
