Britten: The Righteous Isaac Britten The Righteous As a child, I was brought up in a Christian family, and growing up this way instilled certain religious beliefs in me. I remember going to church every Sunday morning and being forced to take notes on each and every sentence that the pastor uttered. Then, when I returned home I was asked and would have to express my thoughts on the subject. I would never say exactly what I wanted because, to my parents, my views would have been a disgrace. Explaining to them that I hated church because it woke me up too early would have been simply unacceptable. And their solution would merely have been to force me to go to sleep earlier. Knowing this, I gave them the answer they wanted to hear: “It was a great service because it challenged my beliefs, but in the end I learned something new.”. I recited the same speech every Sunday afternoon. Under such religious conditions, I learned to trust and believe in three things: God, The Holy Spirit, and Jesus, the three supernatural beings making up the entity who created all of humanity.

  • Grief, One of the Strongest Emotions
    Grief, One of the Strongest Emotions Brett Nikula, Marriage and Family Therapist (LAMFT) We live in a world of emotions. God has given us this gift. Emotions are feelings of joy, pleasure and peace that are often so intense they can’t be described. To try to explain the emotions I have as my children run toward me after a long day away, or the peace I feel as I rest into the arms of my wife, seems impossible. Likewise, the gift of faith and the peace of conscience bring about a warmth that is deep and often indescribable. We all have experienced painful emotions in our life. This earth gives us many reasons to yearn for heaven, many reminders to cling to the faith that will bring us to eternal joy. Around us are individuals experiencing difficult hardship and trials. Often we experience emotional pain that feels unbearable. We Are Given Hope It can seem difficult to understand why God allows these things to happen, but He does. May it be that such trials turn us closer to God. My thoughts turn to words from the songwriter of SHZ 382: Now I may know both joy and woe, my flesh shall have to suffer, my soul shall sing thereafter. What God ordains is ever good. My soul, oh, be thou patient: This cup, which tastes of bitterness, at heaven’s feast is absent. For after grief God grants relief, my heart with laughter filling, my ev’ry sorrow stilling (v. 2,3). When John, the writer of Revelations, describes heaven in chapter 24, verse 4, we are given hope of the peace that awaits us there: “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

    JANUARY 1 A GREAT, BIG LOVE God created human beings in his image. GENESIS 1:27 ave you ever thought about how much God loves you? You could Hspend your whole life thinking about it and still never under- stand how huge God’s love for you is. For starters, God made you in His own image! Just think about that: God wanted you to look like Him— maybe not on the outside, but in your heart and soul. Then think about how God created every treasure in the universe, but He says you’re worth more than any of them. In fact, you’re so special to God that He wants to talk to you and to be part of every single moment of your life. He wants to fill you up with His love so full that when other people look at you, they see His love (Matthew 5:16). So if you ever wonder what you’re worth, remember this: God created you, He loves you, and He says you belong to Him (Isaiah 43:1). Lord, thank You for loving me with such a great, big love, amen. TODAY WITH JESUS . THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH GOD LOVES YOU. 2 9780718098544_content.indd 2 8/3/17 9:20 AM JANUARY 2 JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE YOU God, you are my God. I want to follow you.

  • What Does Victory Outreach Believe About the Forgiveness of Sins? What Are the Limits of God’S Grace When It Comes to Forgiveness?
    The Forgiveness of Sins What does Victory Outreach believe about the forgiveness of sins? What are the limits of God’s grace when it comes to forgiveness? The Bible affirms that God is gracious and merciful; He is willing to forgive all those who confess and turn away from their sins (Exod. 34:6-7; Psa. 32:1; 130). In the Old Testament God normally forgave sin on the basis of sacrifice and transference. Sin was removed from the nation of Israel, for example, by means of conferring the sins of the community onto another scapegoat (Num. 16:20-26). As Christians, we at Victory Outreach affirm that our sins are forgiven by grace through faith in Jesus Christ who as the sacrificial Lamb of God bore our sins on the cross. When we place our trust in Christ and repent, our sins are forgiven and we are declared not guilty before God (Isa. 53:12; Matt. 26:28; John 1:29; Rom. 3:25; Heb. 10:12-18; 1 Pet. 2:21-24). Jesus himself had the power to declare a person’s sins were forgiven (Mark 2:1-12; Luke 7:36-48; John 8:2-11). In the New Testament “to forgive” means to release or pardon (aphiemi; aphesis) and show oneself as gracious (charizomai). Forgiveness not only involves God’s pardoning of our sins, but our ability to forgive others who have wronged us (Matt. 6:14-15; Eph. 4:32; Col. 3:13; 2 Cor. 2:6-10; cf. 1 John 4:20- 21). Victory Outreach believes that because Christ died for our sins, there is no sin too great for God to forgive.
