Wednesday, 13 October 2010 Sermon St Michael And All Angels

Rev. 12:7-12 "Matt. 18:1-10" "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon..." The fact of spiritual warfare is often neglected. Many churches give the impression that the Christian religion is a vacation luxury cruise ship instead of a battle ship, with battle stations. But, we see in the New Testament and other writings of the early Church a tendency to use military expressions regularly and somewhat spontaneously. Saint Paul, for example, telling the Ephesians to put on the whole armor of God in order to stand against principalities and powers, rulers of the present darkness of this world, and wicked spirits in heavenly places. He tells them to stand, that is, to hold their ground. Our Lord Jesus did not tell us to hold a party until He comes, but to occupy until he comes. It is fitting on this, the Feast of Saint Michael and all Angels, to remember who the angels of God are. They are our fellow servants who are spoken of in the Books of the Kings by the prophet Elisha. When the Syrians came to capture the prophet, his servant and disciple, a young "son of the prophets" was afraid; so Elisha prayed that God would open his eyes to see the hills filled with chariots of fire and horsemen. "There are more that be with us than with them." And, centuries later the prophet Daniel, after several days of fasting, saw the angel Gabriel who spoke to him those rather mysterious words, to the effect that he would have arrived sooner, but the prince of Persia withstood him. He then spoke of Michael as the prince who stands for the people of Israel. The implication is, all of the nations of fallen mankind are under the evil power Saint Paul calls "Principalities and powers," but that Israel was under the protection of a holy angel, the warrior Michael. The Church has always lived with the realization that all around us are unseen beings of intelligence and power locked in a war, a war that seems to rage for mankind as the very battleground. Also, that we are not spectators, but rather that we are engaged in this war. The image of angels as effeminate or as cute little babies with wings, is as ridiculous and insulting as a "Precious Moments" picture would be of the Marine Corps. The mystery of iniquity, spoken of in scripture, begins with the mystery of how a majestic creature, an angel called the "anointed cherub who covers" became the devil, and the mystery of his domain of fallen angels and sinful humanity. But, the fact that it is a mystery does not erase the obvious evidence set before our eyes, namely that a mad hatred of mankind is coupled with a mad hatred for God, and a rebellion that existed prior to all recorded history. People may not know how to see through the mystery to what evil is, and what motivates and energizes it. Nonetheless, everyone sees that it exists. The scriptures make clear, as well, that evil has already lost in the ultimate sense, that when our Lord Jesus was crucified the devil was, in the Lord's words, "cast out." The serpent's head was crushed when he bruised the heel of the Man Who was the seed of the woman, that is the One born of the Virgin. And, when He rose from the dead Christ made an open show of the devil's defeat by leading a Triumph. Therefore, the ongoing battle has nothing to do with ultimate victory. Never has there been the slightest possibility that a mere creature (no matter how powerful in our estimation) would even threaten, let alone defeat, God. Rather, the ongoing battle has everything to do with evil that is not "super"human, but rather "sub"human, base and completely mad. The ongoing battle is all about unreasoning hatred for mankind in a battle for individual human souls, and about a proud rebellion against God, the war of a rebel without a cause, but with a grudge. This is the war that we see reflected in the lies and violence of the modern world. It does not appear to be sane, because it is not sane. In the Gospel for this feast, we have been told of the need to humble ourselves as the little child. We are not told that children are an example to follow, as some preachers give out with muddle-headed sentimentality. Rather, our Lord told us to "humble ourselves "as the little child, that is, as he put it in another discussion when he was at a dinner and saw men choose the places of honor for themselves, that we should take the lowest place. We should assume no place of honor for ourselves, but rather give place to others. But, he did not say that children were examples for us to follow. Rather, He spoke clearly about their need to be protected, especially, their need to be protected from the influences that would corrupt them, deprive them of their innocence and rob the children of childhood. It is in this context that we learn more about angels. We learn that even as they are engaged in the war for individual souls, they are, at the same time, beholding the face of the Father. The Church has always taken this to mean that the holy angels contemplate God. Clearly, they intercede in prayer, prayer that is in their own tongues and on the level of their own understanding. And, this passage, speaking of the angel of each child, is the passage that has always been taken to mean that God has appointed for each person a guardian angel. But, in this Gospel text we must see the warning of judgment. This warning has everything to do with the reality of our spiritual warfare, and of how that warfare applies to the little child of whom Jesus our Lord speaks. Anyone who leads one such child into sin, who robs a child of innocence, who destroys the protection and sacredness of childhood, who despises the frailty of the weak instead of defending it, would have been better off to have had a millstone tied about his neck and to have been drowned in the depths of the sea. For, to lead children into sin brings about a judgment that is terrifying. Only of the traitor Judas are similar words spoken: "Better for that man had he not been born." What does this have to do with war in heaven, the vigilance of Saint Michael and the holy angles against the dragon, and therefore of our stand against principalities and powers, rulers of the present darkness of this age, and wicked spirits in heavenly places? I will answer first by posing a question: In the New Testament, what is the source of false doctrines about God? The phrases used by the writers of the various Epistles, Saints Paul, Peter and John, all agree. "Doctrines of demons, seducing spirits, the spirit of error, the spirit of Antichrist..." These are the phrases used when speaking of false teaching itself, those lies that amount to deception about God, about salvation, and about morals. One of the big challenges that I found facing me while I was in Arizona, was to help the people of Atonement Church understand the radical difference between those of us who Continue to practice the old orthodox Catholic faith preserved in our Anglican tradition, and the church which had left us behind. More than keeping the old services we like, and even the wonderful Prayer Book itself, is the simple fact that light cannot have fellowship with darkness. I said to them, "let others keep the endowments, the real estate, and the social prestige of being Episcopalians. We will keep the Faith." I found it inexplicable that, before I had arrived on the scene, some families had returned to the local, very modern and apostate Episcopal "Church" simply because it had a nicer Sunday School, rather than working to have a good one where they were. One of the main problems with a church that presents the confusing message of priestesses, and that preaches moral license that it calls tolerance, is the harm that it is doing to the children. And, when I find the so called "conservative" Christians who think they ought to stay in that denomination in order to fight and change it from within, I wonder that they cannot see that it is futile; but the ones who amaze me the most are the ones who take their children there. Isn't it bad enough that some public schools teach them how to be immoral, and that they ought to accept any and all kinds of human sin in the name of "tolerance"- so-called? Should they be taken to a church, to a Sunday School, where they will learn false doctrines? Right now the world is not aiming its deception and temptations simply at adults, but at children, and constantly at younger and younger ages. The advertisements and entertainment aimed at their young minds should anger and shock us. It is not simply that children should not have perverted life styles presented to them as good; it is deeper. They ought to be allowed those early years of innocence and not be presented with what is called "adult themes." If they are to be protected it is necessary that their parents resist the spirit of the times- real spirits of deception. And, the Church must teach right from wrong, not "tolerance." Back around 1990 I was warned that the new "Batman" movie might be a little dark and scary, and that I should look it over before letting my children see it. So, I watched it late at night. I was very alarmed at one scene, and quite amazed that I had heard nothing about it. Outspoken Christians whose faith was known to the public, had taken their children to see the movie. A good number of well known Christians had written or spoken about the movie. Why did no one catch the scene in which, after a first date, the leading lady (I use the term loosely) wakes up in Bruce Wayne's bed? People were taking their children to a movie that taught them that the good guy, the hero, the one to emulate, Batman himself, takes the girls to bed. This was not James Bond, father of the hundreds of illegitimate "Bond Babies"- a new line of dolls I would like to patent. This was a children's hero presenting a bad and immoral example. And a whole culture, Christians included, were oblivious to the message transmitted to young minds, however subliminal its delivery. My children were not allowed to see it; I returned the tape the next morning. I would suggest to you that many people, many Christians, were oblivious to the deception because we live in an age of deception, an age where lies are preferred over truth. This too is spiritual, and we need to be vigilant. As I said, when the Lord Jesus was obedient even to the death of the cross, the serpent's head was crushed. When He rose from the dead He showed that He was triumphant over the powers of darkness and had defeated sin and death. As we occupy this ground until He comes, warring for our souls and the souls of others, we are joined in the battle by Saint Michael and the holy Angels. There are more that be with us than with them" of St. Michael from Monastary Icons

Saturday, 9 October 2010 Full Circle Staff Retreat

Full Favor a moment ago in custody their staff harbor at Gaia's Oasis, a great odd harbor in the Sierra foothills, about 40 miles external of Yosemite.

Gaia's boasts a je ne sais quoi depleted kitty, as well as fire circle, meditation & ice climbing a skin condition, and a intertwine. They display two pleased lodges (with modern kitchens) for colonize who don't command to nap outdoors, besides camping space for groups of up to 40 group.

Apiece lodges are very clean and pleased and every one are swarming with some great Pagan & Idol art.

The land itself is sacred and is treated as such. Here are every je ne sais quoi Idol statues on the things. My underling is a statue of Kuan Yin (looking very sexy, I may well ad) which is located under a tree by one of the streams, all-around the intertwine.

The owners display a moment ago constructed a 35-foot teepee (using establish poles they were approved by a native speed) and this is used as a drumming site and fire circle in spring and winter. In summer, the drumming is in custody external, at a special fire circle all-around the meditation limits.

Gaia's Oasis is on 125 acres of land, which has oak and other kinds of trees, as well as a grace of flora and fauna and wildlife. It is autonomous, reserved, and very charge.

This is a excessive place to bring a group, especially if the members love to quarters and they at home wildlife. The FCE staff gathered out in their deck sitting room every night just to stance the bats fly condescending the kitty. The native rabbits are very fast and preference illuminate a lewdness shampoo neighboring to the same degree you judge "Namaste to you, Bunnies!" (All right, it's their land, as soon as all). The dragonflies all-around the kitty are assorted and very vicarious, and this is a excessive site for bird watchers.

The owners are fairylike group, and very handy. They are usefulness guardians of this land. They are then mean drummers. Our submit staff had a excessive time state, and we luckily conjure up this harbor to all who at home such places.

One of the owners, Gaiella, is a very downright singer and singer. She fashioned the mammoth cloth and specialism phoenix that guards the drumming limits at Firedance and her art can be seen in several parts of the establish. Her allied, Chris, is a techno-wizard, a great singer & drummer, and photographer. All the associates at Full Favor enjoyed their obliging and we chart on going back state very openly.

At the end of our occur state we presented Gaia's Oasis with a new Idol statue. It sounds as if, it is a spurt which one of our staff members purchased from a woman singer at a California craft fair every being ago. It portrays Gaia as Minced Blood relation, with flowers in her hair and her arms spread out in a circle. May this spurt display diverse jolly being state in its reserved speck all-around the apple tree, and may it bring stability and thinking to all who envision this magikal place.

Incarnation Creation And Kenosis

As Evolution Weekend approaches, and I think through my sermon, which will look at Job 38:1-11 (entitled: "Were You There? -- In the Beginning"), I've been rooting around in my books on science and faith. Because I'm not a scientist, I recognize that whatever I say on scientific matters needs to be said with a degree of tentativeness. On the other hand, that lack of expertise shouldn't prevent me from speaking to issues such as this. The idea of "kenosis" has become a helpful term when speaking of God's involvement with the universe. The term has an ancient currency, being used by Paul in Philippians 2 as a way of speaking of the incarnation. Both Philip Clayton and John Polkinghorne use the term in their conversations about the faith/science relationship.Now, I do have to note that Daniel Dennett spoke of this use with a certain disdain after "listening to Philip Clayton speak in Cambridge last year. Dennett writes on Richard Dawkins' blog:But I learned a new word: "kenotic" as in kenotic theology. It comes from the Greek word kenosis meaning 'self-emptying.' Honest to God. This new kenotic theology is all the rage in some quarters, one gathers, and it is "more deeply Christian for being more adapted to Darwinism." (I'm not making this up.) I said that I was glad to learn this new word and had to say that I was tempted by the idea that kenotic theology indeed lived up to its name. Now, if Dennett had done his homework he would discover that this is not new at all, but has been part of the conversation for centuries, but this really isn't about Dennett and his sarcasm.I want to bring into the conversation a quote from John Polkinghorne that speaks to the question of the incarnation as an expression of God's involvement in the created order.The central Christian kenotic paradox of the incarnation centres on just such an act of divine self-limitation, so that God's nature is manifested in the plainest, and most accessible, creaturely terms through the Word's assumption of humanity and consequent participation in human life and human death in Jesus Christ. As the Fathers liked to say, the Ancient of Days lay as a baby in a manger. The invisible God took our flesh and became a "visible "actor on the stage of the universe. If we believe that Jesus is God incarnate then, there in first-century Palestine, God submitted in the most drastic way to being a cause among causes. Of course, that was not all that God was doing during that period. Christian theology has never simply equated God with Jesus, nor supposed that the historic episode of the incarnation implied that there was, during its period, an attentuation of the divine governance of the universe. The incarnation does, however, suggest what character that governance might at all times be expected to take. It seems that God is willing to share with creatures, to be vulnerable to creatures, to an extent not anticipated by classical theologies picture of the God who, through primary causality, is always in total control. (John Polkinghorne, Faith, Science & Understanding," pp. 125-126). What Polkinghorne, who is a fairly well known and highly regard physicist who is also theologically trained, is doing here is point out how we might understand the way in which God is able to be present and yet also allow room for the universe to self-create. That is, the God who is love, must allow such freedom lest God be a cosmic tyrant -- and the incarnation is helpful in understanding this idea.

Tuesday, 5 October 2010 Why Worship God And Is Worship The Best Word

*

We cogency worship God ("one" God) so of His "power", arrogant far than the power of any other point - arrogant far than any extra holy being (as it gets phrased in the Old Testament); undoubtedly, so radically arrogant as to be inestimably and arrogant.

This worship may be based upon trepidation of such power, and the marvel that worship request be accepted as a complaint and a propitiation.

This sees the brief details as legalistic - in other words, the construction is prearranged by interaction - and the connected type of interaction are public which put into operation in a sway - the interaction along with a emperor and his subjects, and the interaction along with subjects (of discrete ranks and roles).

To disbelieve in this concept of God is an act of coup d'?tat next to the legitimate monarch; and an anti-social act.

*

We cogency worship God so he created "everything" - including the other gods - which is perhaps an maintenance of worshipping God so of His power.

Nonetheless, if we were to worship God so he created everything "out of nonbeing", this potentially induces a peer flavour to worship. Deify may as a result be akin to a "consciousness of fact". The consciousness that everything is from-God, part-of God, sustained-by-God.

This is perhaps congruence to recognising and acknowledging that we are "interior" God.

So worship may get a pompous methodological ('physics'-like) flavour - of stating, swearing-to and living-by quasi-scientific propositions that represent this details.

To disbelieve in this physics-like concept of God is seen as a genuine or logical error, due to intensity or psychosis or a lie: a dispossession of what actually IS. Its harm comes from its dysfunctionality.

*

The idea of God as Warmness is qualitatively peer from the improved - so it implies that we neediness love God "so" He loves us. But why love Him, and why Him improved others and as God? Such as makes love of God peer from love of a particular Man?

The corollary comes from Him for instance our Commence and us His children,and the depth official to this brief fact - so, by this disorder, loft interaction magnet on and supersede the 'structural' element which used-to come from God's induction of everything from nonbeing, or the interaction of emperor and subjects in a sway.

To disbelieve in such a God - God as Affectionate lead - is followed by primarily "to bar oneself from God's loft" - an act of self-exile - a pledge to 'go it isolated.

*

Despite the fact that a God who is inventor of everything from nonbeing requirement to be worshipped as an acknowledgement of the details that everything depends on Him and everything is interior of Him; and God as legally recognized emperor requirement to be worshipped as a subject of good order and seemly deference; God as enthusiastic Commence requirement to be worshipped as an acknowledgement of the details that derives from interaction.

In other words, some time ago God is (primarily) Love; the construction is conceptualized as "prearranged by loft" interaction. These loft interaction become the brief details "and the consistency for function items".

For Christians who regard God as Affectionate Commence, it is interaction which have enough money the requirement that recycled to be provided by power or seminar.

*

All metaphysical shrewdness involves a pledge or mixture, whether that pledge obvious and utter or outmoded and unsaid. the mixture is to put some postulate at the cradle of things: and that fundamental postulate cannot be analyzed or critiqued astute so it is the brief postulate, and everything also is assistant to it.

After it comes to understanding and conceptualizing God, we are in the realms of metaphysics; and the exterior of the Christian revelations of God as Warmness led to a metaphysical drive - with the revolutionize of God as Lushness, or God as Monarch in vogue God as Commence.

And the final language of this new Christian construction were not physics-like structures, nor were they seeing that laws - but they were seeing that the interaction in a loft.

*

So, the brief, side line understanding of the orderliness of details for a Christian is now family-relational, realistically than quasi-scientific or national-legal.

And the worship of God as normal takes on a peer brief flavour - so the seemly spot to God who is "primarily" accepted as our enthusiastic Commence, is peer from the seemly spot to a emperor, or to an numerous power.

Sunday, 3 October 2010 Still Dreaming After Nearly 50 Years

"

"I wanted to make sure that the man who found the genie would "not "take terrible advantage of her, so he needed to be a person of "integrity "and honor - which is why I made the male lead an astronaut. "The rest, as they say, is history. -Sidney Sheldon

"SOME THINGS JUST GET IN YOUR HEAD AND STAY THERE - LIKE THE THEME SONG FROM I DREAM OF JEANNIE. BUT IT'S MUCH MORE THAN A CATCHY TUNE THAT'S KEPT JEANNIE FILLING OUR DREAMS FOR THE LAST HALF CENTURY. IT'S THE MAGIC THAT THE SHOW CREATED, IN GREAT PART, OWING TO THE CHEMISTRY OF ITS BELOVED CAST. HOLD ONTO YOUR FLYING CARPET AS WE TRAVEL BACK TO COCOA BEACH, FOR A BLINK AT ONE OF TELEVISION'S MOST BELOVED AND ENDURING ICONS."

"[the following is from "TV Trope"]"

"One of the classic 1960s Fantastic Comedies, I Dream Of Jeannie" ran on NBC from September 1965 to May 1970. Starring Larry Hagman and Barbara Eden, it depicted the life of American astronaut Captain (later Major) Anthony Nelson and the beautiful genie he acquired while stranded on a desert island after a space mission. Because of the series' repeated emphasis on Jeannie's absolute devotion to Tony, "I Dream Of Jeannie" is also considered the archetypal Reactionary Fantasy, simultaneously establishing a woman with almost limitless power while literally enslaving her to a man who doesn't want her to use it. Despite the enormous potential for his own personal gain with no risk, Tony Nelson would rather embrace conformity so as to remain in the astronaut program. This being a Sitcom, complete success in his goal of appearing normal is of course denied him.

The only question is which gender's fantasy is being indulged. In the first episode, as he was about to be rescued from the desert island where he found her bottle, Tony explicitly freed Jeannie from his service. She followed him back to Florida entirely of her own volition, and when Tony took the most logical approach of saying, "I wish you to vanish!", she laughed that he set her free to do whatever she pleased, and what pleases her is to stick around and take over Tony's life, which may explain Tony's persistent failure to ensure her complete and unconditional obedience afterwards.

"

"The girl in the bottle plays spin the astronaut."

Tony's efforts to present a stable homelife centered on the opinion of NASA psychiatrist Dr. Alfred Bellows, who had suspected Tony of insanity or worse after the astronaut carelessly described his first encounter with Jeannie during a post-mission examination in the first episode. Complicating this were not only Jeannie and her magical antics, but fellow astronaut Roger Healey, who learned about Jeannie and wanted to exploit her powers for his own benefit (although this was toned down after his first attempt led to near disaster).

Dr. Bellows' wife Amanda complemented his suspicions with her own Secret Chaser tendencies, often leaving Tony scrambling to cover for Jeannie's magical eccentricities.

Jeannie's sister, mother, and various other friends and relatives from the good old days of Caliph Haroun al'Raschid just added to the chaotic mix. Somehow, though, across the course of the five years the show was on the air, their relationship evolved from master-slave to love between partners.

In the last season Jeannie and Tony were married.

"

The inside of Jeannie's bottle - the ultimate girl cave

I Dream Of Jeannie" was created by Sidney Sheldon in explicit reaction to the success of "Bewitched". Inspired by the movie "The Brass Bottle" (which coincidentally also starred Barbara Eden, though portly Burl Ives was the Genie in that film, while Barbara was his master's human fianc'ee), he deliberately inverted the genie trope as it then existed, turning the hideous and borderline-malicious male genie of the "Arabian Nights" into a beautiful female genie who was eager to please her master. He also gave Tony a clear motivation for maintaining a facade of normality (remaining an astronaut during NASA's glory days, with its chances of making history), as opposed to the unremarkable, dull and conventional life idealized by Darrin Stevens.

Sheldon reportedly wanted a brunette Jeannie - mainly to avoid comparisons to the blonde Samantha of "Bewitched" - but could not find anyone who could play the role as he had envisioned it; Barbara Eden was cast almost in an act of desperation.

"

"All I do is think and blink."Years later, scandalously baring the navel, at last.

After its cancellation, "I Dream of Jeannie" demonstrated remarkable success in syndication, winning timeslots across the country and becoming the first non-network program ever to earn higher ratings than network fare in the same timeslot. By Fall 1971, "Jeannie" Reruns in syndication were reaching a larger audience than saw the program's first-run on NBC. Its cult-like success spawned the mandatory Animated Adaptation in 1973, and two TV movie semi-reunions - 1985's "I Dream of Jeannie: 15 "Years Later" (in which Wayne Rogers replaced Larry Hagman as Tony) and 1991's "I Still Dream of Jeannie" (which eliminated Tony entirely).

A feature-film version has been rumored for years, with every star(let)-of-the-hour from Paris Hilton to Halle Berry proposed for the title role. The latest incarnation of this project is back inDevelopment Hell after being scheduled for a 2008 release for a while, a curiously identical fate to the film version of Larry Hagman's other TV show.

TRIVIABarbara Eden got to keep the color stunt bottle used on the last day of filming the final episode of the television series. It was given to her by her make-up woman after the show was canceled while the show was on hiatus. [source: Wikipedia]
