TRAVELLING TOGETHER Daily Devotions 2018 Travelling Together 1977-2017 Celebrating 40 years of Partnership of 32 Churches in Mission TRAVELLING TOGETHER Daily Devotions 2018 Travelling Together DAILY DEVOTIONS 2018 Introduction CWM is pleased to present this prayer book for every day of the year in 2018, in observation of our fortieth anniversary. Yes, we are forty years old; and we are grateful to God for having led us all the way. It has been a dynamic journey of dreaming, daring and dancing in good times and in bad times. Through it all God has sustained and strengthened us, giving us the spirit of discernment to comprehend the signs of the time and to move towards the unfolding future with confidence and hope. As we prepare to embark on the next forty years we are convinced, more than ever before, of the sustaining power of God’s grace to pave the way for us and to keep on enlightening (opening) “‘the eyes of our hearts’ to know the hope to which Christ called us, the riches of his glorious inheritance and the immeasurable greatness of his power for us” (Eph. 1: 18). This gift of enlightening or discernment locates us at the heart of God, where God’s purpose is revealed, though dimly, and our mission defined. It is our prayer that as we submit ourselves to God we will see more clearly and that our experience of walking with God will bring us peace and joy. This devotional guide is an invitation to the reader to explore, and hopefully experience, the unfathomable riches of God’s grace and to live in confident hope that God’s future, buoyant with possibility, is already breaking in on the horizons of our consciousness. The reflections herein represent the experiences, faith and convictions of the contributors; their reflection on scripture within the context of current landscape; and their vulnerability in making public their theological views and biases. We pray that reading and meditating on the content of these pages will serve to inspire faith and encourage us in our walk with God throughout this year. God has created a world, full of beauty and charm. The sounds of the whistling winds amid the swaying trees and stately mountainside; the chirping birds, sweetly singing as sun sets and evening dusks; the laughter of children; and the rush of heartbeats, celebrating love and I • TRAVELLING TOGETHER connecting kindred spirits display the miracle of God’s creative imagination at work. Despite the wonder of it all, however, we live in the midst of brokenness, where shattered dreams and broken promises often define our experience; broken systems ruin our best resolve; and hope fades as our fragile frame succumbs to the failures of efforts pursued. And yet, because we belong to the God of hope, we live with confidence that healing is coming and we speak with conviction that, by the grace of God, we shall be made whole. Prayer is a spiritual resource to resist the forces of evil, however daunting; to reframe our perspectives in the face of doubt and fear; and to renew our resolve to confront the forces of empire that serve only to steal, kill and destroy. It is our prayer that this devotional will offer you some insights into claiming God’s best for your life and that you will be energised to take your stand for God. I commend this devotional to you, with my prayers and best wishes for a great year ahead in your walk with God and in your search for wholeness and fullness of life in Christ. Shalom!

After the dust had settled, Saddam Hussein, the then President of Iraq, announced to the world that Kuwait was now a province of Iraq … just like that! Ostensibly, Iraq invaded Kuwait, among other things, because of their claim that Kuwait was originally a part of Iraq, which was separated under British rule. Many believe, however, that Iraq’s decision to invade Kuwait was driven by its desire to take over Kuwait’s substantial deposits of crude oil. Unfortunately, stories like this are the stuff of which the fabric of human history is weaved. Take, for example, the story of King Ahab and Naboth, told in 1 Kings 21. As you read this story, you’ll notice that the request of Ahab was not unreasonable, but his expectation was unreasonable. Given the proximity of Naboth’s land to his, and that he was prepared to pay for it, one can understand King Ahab’s proposal. His expectation, however, was based on his power; as such he was unable to take no for an answer. He was unable to see the value of Naboth’s desire to protect his patrimony and secure the heritage of his family. As it turned out, Jezebel, his wife orchestrated a scheme to use power to manipulate and prey upon the weakness and vulnerability of Naboth. Naboth became the loser – he lost his life and his land was taken by force. Jezebel’s question, “Do you not govern Israel?” is the epitome of an attitude of lordless domination; the way empire works. The death of Naboth meant nothing to Ahab; he was ready to claim the land. However, God’s mission is about hospitality and generosity of spirit. When confronted with the request to arbitrate between two brothers on the matter of family inheritance, Jesus refused (Luke 12: 13-14). Instead he invited the complaining brother to consider what is essential to life – not the abundance of things (Luke 12: 15); not greed, hoarding for one’s private consumption (Luke 12: 16-20); but trust in God (Luke 12: 32), use of possessions to serve the needs of the poor and displaced (Luke 12: 33); and focus on God’s “unfailing treasure” – the imperishable values such as love, hospitality and a generous spirit (Luke 12: 33b-34). King Ahab was to learn that “in the (very) place where dogs licked up the blood of Naboth dogs will also lick up your (his) blood” (1 Kings 21: 19).

Rivera a , Alejandro S. Bernardo b * a University of Santo Tomas, España, Manila, 1015, Philippines b University of Santo Tomas, España, Manila, 1015, Philippines APA Citation: Rivera, J.C.V., & Bernardo, A.S. (2018). A lexico-semantic analysis of Philippine indie song lyrics written in English. Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 14(4), 12-31. Submission Date: 10/09/2017 Acceptance Date: 02/07/2018 Abstract The power of music to entertain and to affect people psychologically makes it a significant part of human society and a ripe field for empirical investigations. Researches about music’s psychological and physiological effects on people as well as music’s pedagogical value in language teaching and learning have shown interesting results. However, there still remains a dearth of empirical studies that look into the purported meanings of songs unearthed through linguistic lenses. This study, therefore, examines the intersection of music and linguistics by conducting a lexico-semantic analysis of 30 indie songs written in English by three Filipino indie musicians. One key finding is that indie songs are not usually unclear contrary to the popular belief that they generally tend to be nebulous and require deliberate disambiguation. © 2018 JLLS and the Authors - Published by JLLS. Keywords: Original Philippine Music; indie music; lexical semantics; semantic analysis 1. Introduction Music plays a significant part in man’s daily life undoubtedly because of its appeal to the ears.

  • Exemplar Texts for Grades
    COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects _____ Appendix B: Text Exemplars and Sample Performance Tasks OREGON COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Exemplars of Reading Text Complexity, Quality, and Range & Sample Performance Tasks Related to Core Standards Selecting Text Exemplars The following text samples primarily serve to exemplify the level of complexity and quality that the Standards require all students in a given grade band to engage with. Additionally, they are suggestive of the breadth of texts that students should encounter in the text types required by the Standards. The choices should serve as useful guideposts in helping educators select texts of similar complexity, quality, and range for their own classrooms. They expressly do not represent a partial or complete reading list. The process of text selection was guided by the following criteria: Complexity. Appendix A describes in detail a three-part model of measuring text complexity based on qualitative and quantitative indices of inherent text difficulty balanced with educators’ professional judgment in matching readers and texts in light of particular tasks. In selecting texts to serve as exemplars, the work group began by soliciting contributions from teachers, educational leaders, and researchers who have experience working with students in the grades for which the texts have been selected. These contributors were asked to recommend texts that they or their colleagues have used successfully with students in a given grade band. The work group made final selections based in part on whether qualitative and quantitative measures indicated that the recommended texts were of sufficient complexity for the grade band.
