Scholars' Transcription
Jan. 1836. 60 To the Hon. Senate & House of Representatives, in General Court assembled, As we, the Undersigned, Proprietors & Inhabitants of the District of Marshpee, are informed, that request is made to you, by part of our people to alter the Parsonage, Meeting House, &c– We wish, respectfully to raize our voice against it, in your hearing. We believe it will do most good as it now is. Our Fathers, being as capable of discerning what is good as any of us, solemnly set this off for a good end!– The Committee of your Hon. Body, who looked into our affairs, and, as we thought, settled them, say of this Property, that, "the former Acts respecting it, would operate as a dedication of it, with which it would be inexpedient for the Legislature to interfere," and, we hope your Honours are still of the same mind. We know not what pretence our Opposites have set forth, but we assure your Honours, that if this property goes back to Commons, it will soon be over consumed, & a very few, will feel the benefit–or–if it is once divided, there will be no end to the like doings,– & we shall be left without a provision for Religious Means. We declare our Satisfaction with what our Fathers have done, and wish that our Teacher be left to the un- disturbed use of his privileges. We are of the same mind with our Fathers. we have not changed as many have done, - & we beg this Hon. Court not to put us to the sorrow of seeing this sad change in our affairs, but that you will afford us firm support against the restless attempts of some, at home & abroad, who, we fear, are seeking their own selfish ends, and not the general good. -
STUDIES in MALACHI No
STUDIES IN MALACHI No. 6 February 23, 2003 Review Tonight we begin our study of the third of Malachi’s six disputations, or stylized conversations between God and his people. In each case the prophet is exposing some way in which Israel is being unfaithful to the Lord and so bringing down upon herself the threat of God’s judgment. The first disputation concerned unfaithful and half-hearted worship. The second concerned the infidelity of the priests who were not only allowing the people to worship God in a disobedient and irreverent way, but were actually encouraging them in their worldliness. Now comes the third disputation which concerns marital unfaithfulness among the people of God. We are going to familiarize ourselves with the text tonight and with one problem of translation and then, next Lord’s Day evening, God willing, we will take up the main burden of Malachi’s message. Text Comment v.10 In the third disputation, Malachi returns to the sins of the people in general. The same format is followed that we have seen in the previous disputations: The Lord asserts through his prophet that his people have violated the covenant (vv. 10-13); the people’s questioning reply (v. 14a); the Lord’s response (v. 14b); and the implication or application (vv. 15-16). Malachi begins by reminding the people of their special relationship to God. He is their father, their only father. That means that Israel must live in obedience to God. But, it also may imply several things. Fathers had much to do with arranging marriages in that culture and so disobedience to the Lord in the matter of choosing a marriage partner would be a serious violation of filial trust and duty. -
1Then It Happened, When David and His Men Came to Ziklag on the Third
JO HN BR OWN 12/ 6/20 HOW TO EI\JC OU RAGE YOU RSE LF IN GOD 1Then it happened, when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had carried out an attack on the Negev and on Ziklag, and had overthrown Ziklag and burned it with fire; 2 and they took captive the women and all who were in it, from the small to the great, without killing anyone, and drove them off and went their way. 3 When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire, and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive. 4 Then David and the people who were with him raised their voices and wept until there was no strength in them to weep. 5 Now David's two wives had been taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite. 6 Also, David was in great distress because the people spoke of stoning him, for all the people were embittered, each one because of his sons and his daughters. But David felt strengthened in the LORD his God. 7 Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, "Please bring me the ephod." So Abiathar brought the ephod to David. 8 And David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I pursue this band of raiders? Will I overtake them?" And He said to him, "Pursue, for you will certainly overtake them, and you will certainly rescue everyone." 9 So David left, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and they came to the brook Besor, where some who were left beh ind stayed. -

KINGDOMS Family Guide
KINGDOMS Family Guide Welcome to IMMERSE The Bible Reading Experience Leading a family is arguably one of the most challenging tasks a person can undertake. And since families are the core unit in the church, their growth and development directly impacts the health of the communi- ties where they serve. The Immerse: Kingdoms Family Reading Guide is a resource designed to assist parents, guardians, and other family lead- ers to guide their families in the transformative Immerse experience. Planning Your Family Experience This family guide is essentially an abridged version of Immerse: King- doms. So it’s an excellent way for young readers in your family to par- ticipate in the Immerse experience without becoming overwhelmed. The readings are shorter than the readings in Immerse: Kingdoms and are always drawn from within a single day’s reading. This helps every- one in the family to stay together, whether reading from the family guide or the complete Kingdoms volume. Each daily Bible reading in the family guide is introduced by a short paragraph to orient young readers to what they are about to read. This paragraph will also help to connect the individual daily Scripture pas- sages to the big story revealed in the whole Bible. (This is an excellent tool for helping you guide your family discussions.) The family guide readings end with a feature called Thinking To- gether, created especially for young readers. These provide reflective statements and questions to help them think more deeply about the Scriptures they have read. (Thinking Together is also useful for guiding your family discussions.) The readings in the family guide are intended primarily for children i ii IMMERSE • KINGDOMS in grades 4 to 8. -

Glasgow Theses Service http://theses.gla.ac.uk/ [email protected] CONVERSATIONS ABOUT CHAOS AND ORDER: MAKING THE WORLD IN THE BOOK OF JOB Abigail Pelham Submitted in Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theology and Religious Studies Faculty of Arts University of Glasgow April 2009 © Abigail Pelham, 2009 ABSTRACT Setting their sights on the splash thrown up by Leviathan in chapters 3 and 41, many interpreters have argued that the conflict between chaos and order, as embodied in combat mythology, is a theme in the Book of Job. Although I agree that issues related to chaos and order are central to the book, the assumption that any discussion of chaos and order must be related to combat mythology does not stand up to scrutiny. Order and chaos, I maintain, are broader terms. I define them as “how the world ought to be,” and “how the world ought not to be,” respectively.
