Saturday, 23 March 2013 The Gospel And Self Mutilation Five Implications
*The political is an adaption of "Cutting: A Treatment Retort" (Lelek, 2012).
Keen and self-mutilation sandwiched between teens may not appreciation the stipulation of an wave, but show is justification that such frolics is on the knoll sandwiched between premature club in our culture. Reasons heaps distribute for pleasant in such frolics characteristic coping with low down, releasing intense tension, coping with fear, or it is a powerful way to position one's self for being bad (Nixon, Cloutier, Levenkron, 1998; Nixon, Cloutier, & Aggarwal, 2002). As Christians who are serving man believers that habitually lay a hand on brutally out of train, and who persistently estimate abuse and trauma in their history, what may we break them from the Gospel register that may hollow this definite argue (i.e., taunting) for the honor of God? Moment are five implications ready in the Gospel register that may carry as a method of obtaining something for individuals constrained to chronically harm themselves:
* "THE Reaper Prerequisite Take place A BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW OF HIS/HER Body". The Gospel story begins with Achievement. The Scriptures reveal to the self-harmer that his/her organism was bent and conclusive to him/her by a holy and good God. Not moral that, but on every occasion Jesus gave his life and organism upon the Plot a course, he purchased the organism of the harvester with his "own" flesh and blood (assuming he/she is a living being of faith)! The Bible moreover reveals that if a living being who self-harms has located faith in Christ, his/her organism is now the temple of the Holy Outstanding, and as a result the follower is called to use his/her organism to praise Him. Keen on one's own flesh command certainly not carry that end. As such, believers wrestling with this legal action need to assess what it mechanism to praise God in the organism, and learn to seed such motives in love for Jesus, and nonentity else.
* "State THAT Keen IS AN Stake TO Trade THE GOSPEL As a consequence AN Replacement Regulations OF REDEMPTION. "The harvester command need to put into action that his/her attempts to find calmness, solace, comfort, and escape through the act of embarrassing self-mutilation is a refusal of God and all He offers in Christ. It is not only a coping machinery it is a good corporate with the Fall through. Sooner of executive to God, the harvester is exchanging the truth about God for a lie, and as a result worshipping the creature wholly than the Fall through. Later his/her emotions circle intractable or it feels as although his/her manner cannot be contained, a hope against hope is ended to run to him/herself, set his/her own griefs, convey his/her own sorrows, good name him/herself, afflicting and hurt his/her own organism, and set his/her own top quality as a mechanism to find consistent calmness. This is a deputy gospel that eerily resembles that which Christ himself has sooner than done. A counselors contract is to help the revelry mark such parallels, and with dine the counselee in learning what it mechanism to keep on in light of Hebrews 4:15-16 wholly than replacing it.
* "THE Identity WHO SELF-HARMS Heart Need TO Learn TO Submit For instance JESUS HAS Sooner than Restricted IN HIS OWN Body AND BLOOD. "If the harvester has located faith in Jesus, with Christ has atoned for the his/her sins on every occasion He gave His own life upon the Plot a course. All the discoloration, be apologetic, anger, abhorrence, and covetousness with which such family habitually argue, the Noble took upon Himself for the sake of His own. In His words, he says this, "Bona fide, ever so, I say to you, unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you shoulder no life in you. Whoever feeds on my flesh and snacks my blood has eternal life, and I command surge him up on the after day. For my flesh is true goods, and my blood is true drink. Whoever feeds on my flesh and snacks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Dawn sent me, and I keep on given that of the Dawn, so whoever feeds on me, he moreover command keep on given that of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. Whoever feeds on this bread command keep on forever" (John 6:53-58). Jesus beckons the self-mutilator to construct all He offers, and it is moral in him that his/her extract command be infested. Such an revelry command need to pray about and assess the untutored egotism that is habitually driving the antagonism to assume what Jesus so generously gives in Himself. The harvester requirement learn of the assume of God as revealed in Scripture wholly than innocent his/her projections of God based on immaturity parental family. In so act out, such a living being may anon put into action that he/she is not innocent a unknown, unstructured deity, but that Jesus is outright fine of sympathizing with his/her slipup for example he too "in every issue has been tempted as we are, yet without sin." As such, he/she can "with confidence discover within walking distance to the throne of variety" in order to construct elegance and find variety in his/her time of need.
* "Contain THE Correctness SHE HAS BEEN Restricted IN JESUS! "If the living being fraught with taunting is a follower in Jesus Christ, with he/she has been and is being ended solely in Christ. If the harvester is to luggage compartment the supervision to build systems through which he/she command pass away to find change for the better and calmness, he/she requirement everlastingly ability to remember the imputed nobility of Christ upon his/her own life. This reality is not whatever thing to which such a living being may chink in order to loaf in the faith. On the brusque, it essential stoke up a wish to conform to the image of Jesus in all he/she does, but for the clothed reasons. The nickname of sanctification is not a cut and dry nickname. Moral given that a living being "grass seeds" of falling in line (i.e., put off/put on, assume one's manner inside, reject to cut, etc.) doesn't mean (a) that the living being command do this well every time and (b) that every time he/she does finish these disciplines that such falling in line command always get the same results. Paul alludes to this on every occasion he encourages the Galatians to not plow pooped in act out good. In other words, the living being who is habitually captivated by the invigorating wish to cut is workable to bump into from time to time as they commit to abstaining from such frolics. It is on such occasions that this living being command need to repent, and in such repentance honor in the nobility that has sooner than been altogether conclusive by God in Christ!
* "Wallow THAT HIS/HER Body Heart BE REDEEMED." For heaps who cut, the reality that irreversible waywardness has been done to the organism can be ever so discouraging. For taste, on every occasion a premature girl who cuts raises her shorts or lifts up her organize, she is confronted with the scars of her in advance that command workable be show her complete life. Come to although she may begin to improvement traction in applying the Gospel to her manner, desires, and behaviors, she may go into battle with lack of encouragement every time she looks in the mirror. If she's not marital, she may abhorrence the wedding night on every occasion all her scars command be exposed to the man she loves. The Gospel redeems this reality for her and others like her! Jesus was resurrected. His significant his resurrected organism to Thomas and others served as a messenger to what all His redeemed command awareness someday. Jesus promises that He command surge up his own on the after day. Paul things to see this on every occasion he writes, "But our custody is in heaven, and from it we await a Salvation, the Noble Jesus Christ, who command change our go against organism to be like his gleeful organism, by the power that enables him even to liable all baggage to himself" (Phil. 3:20-12). Jesus has gone no stone unturned for the organism restless by taunting. If a harvester has located faith in Christ, He has approved general pardon for all in advance, persist, and far away sins. He grants him/her his own nobility every day that he/she may be rescued from laudable anger and his/her own condemning manner. And, He has promised him/her, by the very great work of the Gospel, that one day, He command honestly change his/her organism now glory! Esteem His name!
Necessarily the complexity and seriousness of self-mutilation (through taunting) command not be extinguished by applying these five prepare points. Calm, as family who are seeking to bring the Gospel to set on mankind's maximum impressive struggles, these may demonstrate useful as a starting direct for individuals blinded by a unsuccessful faith in their own organism and blood to the abolition of that which Jesus has sooner than conclusive them in His own.

Saturday, 13 November 2010 Telemystery Lifetime Orders Witches Of East End To Series
Julia Ormond stars as Joanna Beauchamp, who, together with her two daughters Freya (Jenna Dewan-Tatum) and Ingrid (Rachel Boston), are living quiet lives in the Hamptons but are harboring a secret: they are witches. Maggie Friedman (Eastwick, Dawson's Creek) wrote the pilot screenplay and will executive produce.
-- --
Witches of East End
Melissa de la Cruz
The three Beauchamp women -- Joanna and her daughters Freya and Ingrid -- live in North Hampton, out on the tip of Long Island. Their beautiful, mist-shrouded town seems almost stuck in time, and all three women lead seemingly quiet, uneventful existences. But they are harboring a mighty secret -- they are powerful witches banned from using their magic. Joanna can resurrect people from the dead and heal the most serious of injuries. Ingrid, her bookish daughter, has the ability to predict the future and weave knots that can solve anything from infertility to infidelity. And finally, there's Freya, the wild child, who has a charm or a potion that can cure most any heartache.
For centuries, all three women have been forced to suppress their abilities. But then Freya, who is about to get married to the wealthy and mysterious Bran Gardiner, finds that her increasingly complicated romantic life makes it more difficult than ever to hide her secret. Soon Ingrid and Joanna confront similar dilemmas, and the Beauchamp women realize they can no longer conceal their true selves. They unearth their wands from the attic, dust off their broomsticks, and begin casting spells on the townspeople. It all seems like a bit of good-natured, innocent magic, but then mysterious, violent attacks begin to plague the town. When a young girl disappears over the Fourth of July weekend, they realize it's time to uncover who and what dark forces are working against them.

Monday, 8 February 2010 Lord I Am A Sinful Useless And Unworthy Priest And Servant
More from the Eastern Liturgy. After the prayers of the faithful and before what we in the Latin Church would call the Offertory, the priest says in a low voice:
No one who is bound to carnal desires of pleasures is worthy to approach You or to draw near to You, or to minister to You, O King of Glory. For to serve you is great and awesome, even to the heavenly powers... I implore You, therefore, Who along are good and ready to listen: look upon me, Your sinful and useless servant; cleanse my heart and soul of the evil that lies on my conscience. By the power of Your Holy Spirit enable me, who am clothed with the grace of the priesthood, to stand before this, Your holy table, and offer the sacrifice of Your holy and most pure Body and precious Blood. Bending my neck, I approach and I petition You: Turn not Your face from me nor reject me from among Your children, but allow these gifts to be offered to You by me, Your sinful and unworthy servant. For it is You Who offer and You Who are offered; it is You Who receive and You Who are given, O Christ our God; and we give glory to You, together with Your eternal Father and Your most holy, good, and life-giving Spirit, now and for ever and ever. Amen.
As the priest incenses the holy things (the bread and wine prepared for the procession to the holy table) he prays:
God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
At the altar, he humbly asks the deacon:
Remember me, brother and fellow minister.
And the deacon replies:
May the Lord God remember your priesthood in His kingdom.
The priest again to the deacon:
Pray for me, my fellow minister.
The deacon replies:
The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will over-shadow you.
Wow! Where have we heard those words before? Were they not uttered by the archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary? This adds a further Marian dimension to our priesthood which is worth meditating upon. And the deacon carries out an angelic ministry to the priest.
And the priest and deacon continue their touching dialogue:
PRIEST: May this same Spirit act together with us all the days of our lives.
DEACON: Remember me, holy Master.
PRIEST: May the Lord God remember you in His kingdom, always, now and for ever and ever.
DEACON: Amen. The Prayer of Presentation (offertory prayer):
Lord, God almighty, Who alone are holy, You accept the sacrifice of praise from those who call upon You with all their hearts. Accept also the petitions of us sinners and bring them to Your holy altar. Enable us to offer You gifts and spiritual sacrifices for our sins and for the sins and ignorance of the people. Make us worthy to find favor with You so that our sacrifice may be acceptable to You and so that the good Spirit of Your grace may rest upon us, upon these gifts present before us, and upon all Your people.
From the Preface:
We thank You also for this liturgy which You have deigned to accept from our hands, even though there stand before You thousands of archangels, and tens of thousands of angels, the cherubim and seraphim, six-winged and many-eyed, hovering aloft on their wings.
One of the prayers following the Consecration:
We place before You our whole life and hope, O loving Master; and we ask, we pray, and we entreat You: Make us worthy to partake with a pure conscience of Your awesome and heavenly Mysteries at this sacred and spiritual table: for forgiveness of sins, for the pardon of offenses, for fellowship of the Holy Spirit, for the inheritance of the kingdom of heaven, for confidence before You, and not for judgment or condemnation.
Before the Lord's prayer:
Make us worthy, O Master, with confidence and without condemnation to dare call You, the heavenly God, Father, and say:...
Before the breaking of the bread, the priest makes three profound bows before the altar saying each time:
God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
As he takes a particle of the holy Bread, the priest says:
The precious and most holy Body of our Lord and God and Savior, Jesus Christ, is given to me, N., a priest, for the forgiveness of my sins and for life everlasting. Amen.
Before consuming the holy Bread the priest says the following with his head bowed:
Accept me this day, O Son of God, as a partaker of Your mystical Supper. I will not tell the mystery to Your enemies, nor will I give You a kiss as did Judas, but like the thief, I confess to You:
Remember me, O Lord, when You come into Your kingdom.
Remember me, O Master, when You come into Your kingdom.
Remember me, O Holy One, when You come into Your kingdom.
May the partaking of Your Holy Mysteries, O Lord, be unto me not for judgment or condemnation but for the healing of soul and body.
God, be mercful to me a sinner.
God, cleanse me of my sins and have mercy on me.
I have sinned without number, forgive me, O Lord.
And the priest partakes with reverence and with every care the Particle he holds in his hands.
As he takes the chalice the priest says:
I, the servant of God, N., a priest, partake of the precious and holy Blood of our Lord and God and Savior, Jesus Christ: for the forgiveness of my sins and for life everlasting. Amen.
As he wipes his lips and the rim of the holy chalice with the purificator he says:
This has touched my lips and shall remove my wickedness and purge my sins.and kisses the chalice.
I wonder what the people must think of their priest as he confesses to so much sin in his life during the course of the Divine Liturgy? Consciousness of our sinfulness will save us from the sin of presumption. We need a deeper awareness of our sinfulness in order to call humbly upon the mercy of God and be able to meet Him with confidence at the last day.
I made my confession yesterday and, of course, the priest absolved me using the Eastern Rite which requires him to acknowledge his unworthiness as a minister of forgiveness as he imparts the absolution.
