BIBLE NOTES
By Mark Sloan, Minister, Carthage Church of Christ
The Wounds We Carry
My Uncle Paul had one
until the day he died. Uncle
Paul served in WW II and a
piece of shrapnel took a chunk
out of his side. The wound
healed and he got used to it,
but the wound was still there.
He lived and laughed and
loved— and the wound was
always still there. Several
days ago, a picture from the
conflict in Iraq showed a table
filled with Purple Hearts, spe-
cial medals awarded to sol-
diers wounded in line of duty.
My Uncle Paul had wounds
to carry, soldiers from all wars
have them, and you and I have
them, too. Physical wounds
present special challenges.
We want them to heal as well
as they can, and we want to
function with them as fully as
possible. You may not have
any deep, life-changing physi-
cal wounds. So far in life, you
may have come through rela-
tively unscathed. At the same
time, each and every and ev-
ery one of us carry wounds
that are just as real, just as
lifechanging and just as chal-
lenging. These wounds may be
unseen, undetected by others,
but they are very real. These
are the wounds of the spirit
and heart. The Bible had some
vital things to say about our
wounds. First, we must real-
ize some wounds can actually
serve for our spiritual healing.
Prov. 27: 6 says that the
wounds from a friend can be
trusted. Sometimes it takes our
closest friends to tell us the
hardest truth. While the truth
hurts, afterward those wounds
heal us and make us whole.
Second, we must realize that
some of our worst wounds
were taken for us. Isa. 53: 5
tells us that Christ was
wounded for our transgres-
sions. He gave his life for us.
He bore our wounds. We are
Mark Sloan
healed by
His com-
plete, per-
fect, love
and sacri-
fice. Third,
as Chris-
tians, we are
challenged to
be thoughtful
and loving in
our actions. I Cor. 8:12 warns
us against wounding the con-
science of another, because to
do so is to sin against Christ.
Fourth, we are to follow the
example of the Good Samari-
tan in Luke 10 and be a neigh-
bor to those who are
wounded. We are called to
help bandage the spirit and
heart-wounds of others. Have
you received some wounds
you’ll carry the rest of your
life? Of course, you have! We
can’t fix everything. We can’t
erase every wound. In fact,
we don’t need to. Christ took
our wounds upon Himself and
gives us strength to carry the
wounds we must carry. So,
lets be honest. Have you
wounded someone else? Of
course you have and so have
I. Have we tried to make it
right? Have we been sensitive
and tried to dress the wounds
and pray for healing? Even
after we have done all we can
do, some wounds will be the
wounds we carry. Some of
those we carry will be the
ones we received and some
of them will be the wounds
we’ve given. Finally, let’s re-
member we serve a wounded
Savior. He was wounded for
our transgressions and by His
wounds we are healed. God
has a greater life and glory in
mind for each of us. The
wounds we carry somehow fit
us for that life—not only in
heaven, but here and now.
Like my Uncle Paul, let’s live
and laugh and love and let the
wound still be there. Carry on!
Jesus Name”, “O Happy
Day”, and “Are Ye Able”.
The choir special was “Morn-
ing Has Broken”. The scrip-
ture for the sermon was Luke
12: 13-21. The sermon was
titled “Gimmee, Gimmee.”
Pastor Jim Bradley makes an
audiotape during the service.
If you want to hear a sermon
that you missed call Rev. Bra-
dley. The sermons are also
available through the church’s
internet site. There was a
good attendance with some
visitors this Sunday, including
Dick and Mary’s granddaugh-
ter.
Sunday, August 1st was
Growing in Christ
Most anyone can quote
John 3: 16 “ For God so loved
the world that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not
perish but have everlasting
life. For God sent not his Son
into the world to condemn the
world, but that the world
through him might be saved.”
But, can they tell you what you
must do to be saved? Christ
tells us, John 14: 15 “ If you
love me, keep my command-
ments.” John 14: 23 “Jesus
answered and said unto him,
If a man love me, he will keep
my words and my Father will
love him, and we will come
unto him and make our abode
with him.” Matt. 29: 18-20
“And Jesus came and spake
unto them, saying, All power
is given unto me in heaven and
in earth. Go ye therefore and
(continuation)
By the end of the first century
BC Rome had taken over control
of the Greeks. In 27 BC when the
Roman Senate conferred the title
Augustus on Octavian, the Ro-
man Empire was bom. At this
time (from 37-4 BC) Herod mled
Palestine as a Roman vassel.
Herod did much for Jerusalem
and used his favorable relations
with Augustus to help the Jews
in the Diaspora. He won for them
a respect for their synagogue
communities and freedom of
movement within the Roman
world. The dispersed Jewish colo-
nies would later serve as an im-
portant bridge in the spread of
Christianity. When Herod died,
the ‘kingdom” was divided
among his sons. It was Herod
Antipas who gained control over
Galilee and Perea. This is the
Breakfast. Breakfast starts at
7:30 am. They had 21 men at
the breakfast. Fellowship and
the devotional are a good way
to start a morning.
The Administrative Board
Meeting is scheduled for
Wednesday, August 4th. The
board will discuss the options
regarding a new roof for the
parsonage. Several members
were to get bids before the
meeting. One option that has
been mentioned is members of
the congregation doing most
of the work themselves.
The church’s monthly fel-
lowship will be Wednesday,
August 11th at 6:30 pm. It
teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Fa-
ther and the Son and the Holy
Ghost. Teaching them to ob-
serve all things whatsoever I
have commanded you and lo,
I am with you always, even to
the end of the world. Amen.
This is the commandment
given to the Apostles. This
they did. What we must do is
accept their teachings. No
where do we find “all you need
to do is to believe.” But we
are told we must start out. Af-
ter Peter had preached Christ
and him crucified. Acts. 2:14-
36 “ the people asked, Acts.
2: 37 “Now when they heard
this, they were pricked in their
heart, and said to Peter and to
the rest of the Apostles, men
and brethren, what shall we
do? His answer, Acts 2: 38
“Then Peter said unto them,
Repent and be baptized every-
Herod who mled Jesus’ own
country and under whom John
the Baptist was executed. An-
other Herod, Archelaues, had
control over Jerusalem, however,
because of his harsh rule, he was
exiled to Gaul, and the territories
under his jurisdiction were
turned into a Roman province
mled by a Roman governor or
prefect. At the time of Jesus, this
post was held by Pontius Pilate.
Two of the most prominent reli-
gious movements within the first
century Judaism, those of the
Pharisees and Saducees, are
characterized largely by their ap-
proach to the Torah (the first five
books of the bible). The Phari-
sees were descendents of the
“scribes” or lawyers of post-ex-
ilic Judaism and of the “Pious
Ones” who sought to protect
their Jewish heritage against
August fellowship to be an ice
cream social. There will be a
potluck covered dish supper
with the Ice Cream Social.
Jim and Leslie Bradley will
be renewing their marriage
vows in celebration of their 25
years together. That service
will be on Friday, August
20th.
The Youth are meeting on
Sunday evenings. They have
started collecting aluminum
cans as a fund raising project.
If you have aluminum cans
you would like to donate, they
can be dropped off at the
backdoor of the fellowship at
any time. The youth will pro-
one of you in the name of
Jesus Christ for the remission
of sins, and ye shall receive
the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
Acts. 2: 41,42 “Then they that
gladly received his word were
baptized and that same day
there were added unto them
about three thousand souls.
And they continued steadfastly
in the Apostles’ doctrine and
fellowship and in breaking of
bread and in prayer.” Now we
see that faith is not enough.
The apostles’ doctrine which
is recorded for us today
teaches us we must also have
works and grow. John 6: 29
“Jesus answered and said unto
them, This is a work of God,
that ye believe on him whom
He hath sent.” 2 Pet. 1” 5-10
“And beside this, giving all dili-
gence, add to your faith virtue
and to virtue knowledge, and
knowledge temperance, and to
Greek influence. The name de-
scribes their self-imposed efforts
to keep separate from gentiles.
Beyond the written Torah, they
accepted an oral tradition to
which they assigned an equal au-
thority. This oral Torah gave the
Pharisees more than other reli-
gious movements a flexibility
which allowed them to adapt
more easily to new circum-
stances. They believed in the
coming “Messiah,” the resurrec-
tion of the body, the existence and
role of angels and the ingather-
ing of all Israeli tes in God’s final
age. The Pharisees were quite
tolerant of the beliefs of others,
such a tolerance was a major fac-
tor in their attitude towards the
first generation of Christians.
The second major religious
movement in the Judaism of
Jesus’ day was that of the
have a large quantity that you
need picked up call and leave
a message at the church or
parsonage.
Another project by the
youth will be a bike antitheft
clinic. The youth will be en-
graving identification numbers
on bicycles and taking pictures
of each child with their bike.
They will be hosting the clinic
on August 28th from lOp -12
noon. Kids will bring their
bikes to the fellowship hall’s
parking area.
Prayer requests continue
for many individuals and fami-
lies in our community. The list
includes Mildred Roberson
temperance patience and to
patience godliness and to god-
liness brotherly kindness and
to brotherly kindness and to
brother kindliness charity. For
if these things be in you and
abound, they make you that
ye shall neither be barren nor
unfruitful in the knowledge of
our Lord Jesus Christ. But he
that lacketh these things is
blind, and cannot see afar off
and hath forgotten he was
purged from his old sins.” We
reach the conclusion that F aith
is not enough. James 2: 17
“Even so faith, if it hath not
works is dead, being alone.
James 2: 26 “For as the body
without the spirit is dead, so
faith without works is dead
also.” Do no just take
another’s word where your
soul is concerned. Study, I
Thess. 5: 21 “Prove all things:
hold fast to that which is
good.’
Saducees, they were predomi-
nately from the priestly line,
though the group also included
members of other influential Jew-
ish families, rich merchants, and
government officials. Open to the
Greek culture, the Saducees were
opposed to the Pharisees’ nega-
tive stance toward association
with Gentiles. The Saducees held
strictly to the Torah and did not
accept the idea of oral tradition.
In Jesus’day, the Saducees con-
trolled the Temple and all that was
associated with it. Not surpris-
ingly they took offense at any-
one who challenged their author-
ity. They enjoyed little popular
regard and their efforts to mod-
erate Jewish hostility to Roman
rule were ultimately a failure as
we see in the revolt of
AD 66-70. A prayer: “Father -
Help me see myself through Your
eyes. ”
the Men’s Monthly Prayer has become traditional for the cess them from there. If you and David Vickery.
