Mark and I would like prayers that we can be godly examples for our 4 daughters and that they each will be shining lights for Jesus wherever they are. What was a great vacation experience—where was it and what happened? In 2017 we went to a wedding in Minnesota. It was the first time the girls had ever been out of the state or had stayed in a hotel. They thought it was so cool! Plus we had plenty of bonding time during the drive there and back. What’s a favorite hymn? Is there a reason it’s your favorite? “It Is Well With My Soul” because it's a wonderful reminder that we can be grateful in all things because He has given us grace and nothing is beyond His control. What do you like most about Rusk or being a member of Rusk? We love how close our congregation is. We support each other and help one another grow in our faith. Musings from Your Editor Loving Him with All We’ve Got by Jessica DeWitt Have you ever had a time God was trying to get your attention? Like, by repeating Himself over and over again until you finally took notice? For me, it began with my son’s memorization of his Bible verse for school. Each day we practiced it together until he was finally able to proclaim with no hesitation, “[Jesus said,] ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ Matthew twenty- two, verse thirty-seven.” He was ready to recite it to the teacher and so be done with it, but I wasn’t. Over the next few weeks, those words seemed to follow me everywhere! It didn’t take me long to realize that God was deliberately putting that verse in my path. And I’ve come to recognize that whenever a certain idea or Bible verse is repeated, I had better pay attention because He is trying to teach me something. I admit I hadn’t really focused on the words when it was part of Caleb’s homework; the verse is so familiar that I mindlessly repeated it when he practiced it. The verse seems like such a simple statement, so basic. We already know we are to love Him with our heart, soul, and mind; that idea is a well-worn one for those of us who have long known the Lord. But when God kept pointing me to it, I slowed down and began to wrestle with it, wondering how He was trying to use that familiar verse to speak to my heart in a new way. First, I tried to break down the verse in parts, but before long, I hit a wall. So I prayed that God would give me some clarity; if He was drawing me to the verse, why did I feel stuck in deciphering it? The following day He showed me what was wrong in my approach: I was making things too complicated. The whole point of Matthew 22:37 is Jesus taking the complicated pharisaical system of numerous, stringent rules and honing in on the heart of the matter, on what’s truly important in following God. What was (and still is) the greatest commandment, the main requirement God has for us? Jesus makes it simple: it’s all about Him. That is, God is to be the foundation and ultimate priority of our entire lives - all aspects of it, heart, soul, and mind included. It sounds straightforward enough, doesn’t it? Jesus is to have precedence in our lives. But how do we implement that? What does that actually look like? Abiding It seems pretty obvious that if God comes first in our lives, then we need to spend time with Him, abiding in Him. We often hear how relationships require time and effort to grow, our relationship with Jesus is no different. It means regularly dwelling with Him in prayer, listening to Him by reading His Word and meditating on it, quieting ourselves before Him in order to hear His Spirit speak to our hearts. Building the relationship with Him should be our greatest purpose; He should be the love of our lives. These aren’t likely new or different concepts to most of us in the church; we’ve heard it all before in our devotional readings or from over the pulpit. But are we doing it? Are we showing up each day before Him, the Word open before us, hearts and minds receptive to what He has to tell us? Are we taking time to listen for His response when praying, or are we just presenting him with a laundry list of requests for health and provision and safety? The real question then becomes: How can we expect this relationship to thrive if the time we spend with Him is a brief few minutes here or there, distracted, barely squeezed into our overly-packed schedule? I can’t speak for you, but I know I need this reminder. I am pulled in so many directions by all that needs doing. There is always too much to be done in this busy life, and I so often feel like there’s simply not enough of me to keep up. Yet the Lord has continued to impress upon me the importance of spending those blessedly precious quiet minutes with Him. I find myself too much like Martha, racing about trying to get things done, when He is calling me to be more like Mary, choosing the better thing of sitting at His feet. It is what He desires of us: to dwell with Him, draw near to Him, be renewed and refreshed by Him. Let us not forget, Matthew 22:37 is Jesus stating the greatest commandment. We try to make it a negotiable suggestion, but it isn’t. He commands us to love Him. And we aren’t loving Him if we aren’t drawing near to Him by taking the time to speak to Him, listen to Him, walk with Him. Ultimately, this verse is Jesus calling us to obediently make Him preeminent in our life and abide with him, today and every day. Applying If we are making abiding with our Lord a key part of our life, is that enough? I would argue it’s not. While abiding is vital and foundational in obeying Jesus’ command to love Him, I think it is just as vital to also be applying that love for Him to everything else in our lives. If we are loving God with everything we have, then that same love we have for Him should touch every single thing we do. And that means obeying the laws and guidelines He’s laid out for us in His Word.

    February 21st Order of Worship ✝ Prelude Hymn Sing Ah, Holy Jesus (vs. 1 & 2) Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended, that we to judge Thee have in hate pretended? By foes derided, by Thine own rejected, O most afflicted! Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon Thee? Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone Thee! ‘Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied Thee; I crucified Thee. Jesus, Lover of My Soul (vs. 1 & 4) Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past; safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last. Plenteous grace with Thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound, make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart; rise to all eternity. It Is Well with My Soul (vs. 1 & 3) When peace like a river, attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll; whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul. It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul. My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought! My sin, not in part but the whole, is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul.

  • Sunday 9 1115
    Holy Eucharist: Rite II The Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost October 4, 2020 9:00 a.m. and 11:15a.m. Church DEAR CHRIST CHURCH, With joy and thanksgiving, Christ Church has regathered for worship in-person. I know that this pandemic has been exceedingly difficult for you all. As you know, in March we suspended all in-person worship and began streaming our services online. It was confusing and disorienting at first, but we never stopped trying to connect you to your faith and your church. And above all, we never abandoned our mission to transform lives through the love of God in Christ. And we never will. Along the way, we have seen loved ones lose jobs; we have seen friends get quarantined, get sick, and be become disabled by COVID, and, worst of all, we lost dear family members to this plague, and yet… we did not, and we will not lose hope. And now it’s time for us to come home. We have learned how to be together much more safely than we could months ago. We are able to re-open principally because you all are abiding by the guidelines set out by public health authorities. You have been wearing your masks and keeping social distance. And so, the rate of infection in our area has gone down such that we can come back. We have always tried to take a balanced and measured approach, informed by both science and our need to be incarnate with each other. We are doing the best that we can with the information that we have.
