2 From The Rectory

For the last few weeks, our sermon series has been from the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes. You can catch up with any of our sermons online at: warbletonchurch.org.uk/ sermons-talks/ and the Filter function allows you to search by Bible book. It has been a profound experience to ponder this ancient book’s meaning again. Its message seemed timely in the light of the Covid pandemic because in it The Preacher searches for meaning and significance in the light of death and the unpredictability of life.

The refrain which rings from its pages is “Vapour! Vapour! All is vapour.” In other words, life is short. Like a fleeting breath or a puff of smoke. It is quickly gone. And like a breath, life can’t be fully grasped. It slips through our fingers and eludes us. There’s so much that we can’t completely under- stand or control. The Preacher teaches us honesty and humility.

Although it’s sometimes strange and difficult, much of the value of the book lies in the fact that it takes a long hard look at the world as it really is. There are no quick or glib answers here – not even religious or spiritual sounding ones. Life isn’t a crossword puzzle that can be neatly solved. Even though we have God’s Word, we don’t have all the answers. Often there is injustice and pain. In many places wickedness holds sway. Sometimes God’s purposes are hard to see.

Although we live in this fog, the Preacher claims that joy is possible even in the mist. This comes not by escaping or denying the vaporous nature of life, but by receiving God’s gift of satisfaction in our toil. We do well to rejoice in all the good things that God gives us, but not to pin our hopes on them. We should hold onto our stuff lightly. Rather than grasping after the wind, we need open hands to receive God’s generosity. We get into trouble when we imagine that people or things can give us ultimate control, or significance, or security. We tend to make good things into god things, to take the gifts and forget the Giver. The Bible would call this idolatry and would say that idols will always disappoint.

We can’t see the whole picture, but we can see enough to take the next step with God in faith. We are to revere God and obey his commandments.

The book of Ecclesiastes shows us very clearly the broken, fallen nature of our world. And it promises that God sees and cares. He will bring every action into judgement. We strive for a better more godly world, but we can’t straighten everything out. The cosmos is twisted out of shape by sin, and the flaw runs through our own hearts too. We need a Saviour. Left to ourselves, we can’t build Jerusalem in England’s green and pleasant lands. We must look to the New Jerusalem, the city whose architect and builder is God, which will come down out of heaven from God: his new, renewed creation. The Preacher disabuses us of utopian dreams that we might embrace a more solid hope.

The Preacher in the book of Ecclesiastes seems to be great King Solomon who was famed for his wisdom, but he points us to the Lord Jesus, the ultimate king, whom the New Testament calls one greater than Solomon. Jesus has overcome death for us and in him are found all the treasures of the wisdom and knowledge of God. We cannot shepherd the wind, but we can trust The Good Shepherd who commands the wind, “Quiet! Be Still!”. May we rejoice and rest in Him.

MISSION SUPORT FOR OCTOBER BRIGHTON & HOVE CITY MISSION

The City Mission in Brighton and Hove has been ministering to the city for over 150 years. Founded in 1849, its work today is very different, but it still serves the disadvantaged and needy, of whom there are sadly still so many. Of course, Covid-19 has curtailed and altered many of their activities, but like most organisations the City Mission has been finding ways around the restrictions of the pandemic. Some work has carried on in person but much of it on-line. The FOOD BANK has been particularly important throughout and continues very busy. Drop off points have been set up around the city and donations are urgently needed. Supermarkets and the public have responded wonderfully, and staff have been Suttons Groundcare busy making up parcels for many families. SHRUB PRUNING SCHOOLS work in person ceased for a long time; as with ordinary lessons the HEDGE CUTTING If you would like to advertise mission’s schools work continued on-line. Hopefully the new term will see more normal contact begin again. CLEARANCE No doubt social media contact with YOUNG PEOPLE, mentioned in last year’s article, TURFING here, please email us on continues unaffected by the on-going pandemic. You will find further information on their PAVING website. Please pray for the City Mission whose work is much needed today as it ever was [email protected] in previous years.

Surgeon Newland managed to obtain permission to use an old leper sanctuary in the city for his newly inoculated relatives until they were fit enough to go home.

What Are The Top 7 Risk Factors For Alzheimer's And What You Can Do About Them? By Dr Marilyn Glenville PhD Continued from page 23

Family History You may have a strong family history risk of Alzheimer’s, so it is important to think about dietary and lifestyle changes you can make to reduce your chances of developing the condition yourself. You may worry that Alzheimer’s is in your genes. Some genes do directly cause early onset Alzheimer’s affecting those people aged between 30 and 60. However, genetics are responsible for less than 5 per cent of all Alzheimer’s cases.

It’s important to remember that if you have a strong family history of Alzheimer’s, it is not inevitable that you are going to develop the problem, so it is important to work on prevention and it’s never too early to start.

Vitamin D Deficiency We have known for many years that vitamin D is important for bone health and in the prevention of osteoporosis. However, it is only in recent years that we have realised how important this nutrient is for general health, particularly for brain health. We get most of our vitamin D quota from sunlight because natural food sources are few. Research has shown that if you are moderately deficient in vitamin D, you have a 69percent increased risk of Alzheimer’s and the risk increases to 122 per cent in those who are severely deficient. Choose vitamin D in the form of D3, also called cholecalciferol. There is a cheaper form, called D2 (ergocalciferol), but research suggests that vitamin D3 is 87 per cent more effective at raising and maintaining your vitamin D levels than vitamin D2.

Stress Unfortunately, stress increases your risk of Alzheimer’s. You may think that you can’t control stress – but you can control how it affects you physically, and you can make sure you are not exacerbating it. There is a chance that your pattern of eating is subconsciously telling your body that it is under even more stress. The reason is that if your bloodsugar levels fluctuate, your body releases adrenaline and cortisol, which are the same hormones it releases when you are under stress. Try to keep your bloodsugar levels stable by eating something every three hours and be careful if you are drinking a lot of coffee. Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus a snack midmorning and one midafternoon, with no longer than three hours between. This will stop those rollercoaster highs and lows and cravings for sweet foods. Dr. Marilyn Glenville PhD is one of the UK’s leading nutritionists. She is the author of a number of internationally bestselling books including her book Natural Solutions For Dementia and Alzheimer’s available from Amazon. The Glenville Nutrition Clinics are all operating remotely at the moment so if you need any help nutritionally go to www.glenvillenutrition.com or phone 01892 515905.
