PRELUDE “Chorale” JOSEPH JONGEN

WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

CALL TO WORSHIP (FROM PSALM 124)

Leader: If it had not been for God, who was on our side,

we would have fallen prey to those who want to harm us;

we would have been swept away by sadness and fear.

People: Blessed be the Lord, our protector!

Leader: God has broken the snare that took away our freedom. Our

help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

People: Blessed be God’s holy name!

Scaffolding in Sanctuary

A MINUTE FOR THE SPOKEN WORD Over the years many of you in the rear half of the

Sanctuary have commented that it is difficult to hear and understand Spoken Words, or Lyrics of music. In addition, for those over fifty years old, it becomes even more difficult. Good news for all of you! Reasonable accommodation is on the way. The Spoken Word hearing improvement project will begin during the week of October 8th. Sound acoustic panels will be installed on the Sanctuary back wall.

Spoken Word hearing improvement alternatives were studied at length in 2013-14 by the Worship Committee. The formal sound study and committee recommendations were finalized in 2014. At that time Session created the Sanctuary Acoustics special fund to collect donations but the project was placed on hold pending adequate funding.

Thanks to recent anonymous donors, material and funding is now available for phase 1 of the project. The donated acoustic panels have arrived! Arrangements are underway to complete phase 1 of the project with required support materials, rental lift equipment, rebalancing of sound amplification and organ equipment systems. Thanks to volunteer gifts of time, talent and labor are being used to install acoustic panels on the back wall.

If you would like more information on the complete study and plan developed in 2013-14, please contact Jim Robinson. Jim was one of several members on the Worship Committee study team.

God Wants Us to Prosper, Many Churchgoers Say

The Wired Word for the Week of August 12, 2018

In the News

Most churchgoers say God wants them to prosper financially.

That's one of the findings of a survey of more than 1,000 Americans conducted by LifeWay Research, a Nashville-based, evangelical research firm that specializes in surveys about faith in culture and matters that affect churches. The study results were released two weeks ago.

The survey also found that about a third of Protestant churchgoers say their congregation teaches that God will bless them if they donate money. And one in four say they have to do something for God to receive material blessings in return.

These beliefs were not uniform across the spectrum of Protestant churches, however. Churchgoers with evangelical beliefs were more likely to agree than those without those beliefs.

For purposes of its research, LifeWay considers respondents as having evangelical beliefs if they strongly agree with all four of these statements:

• The Bible is the highest authority for what I believe. • It is very important for me personally to encourage non-Christians to trust Jesus Christ as

their Savior. • Jesus Christ's death on the cross is the only sacrifice that could remove the penalty of my

sin. • Only those who trust in Jesus Christ alone as their Savior receive God's free gift of

eternal salvation.

The notion that God wants faithful Christians to prosper financially has been called the "prosperity gospel," a view that has been promoted blatantly by some televangelists and other Christians starting in the last century. And this despite the fact that a number of high-profile evangelical leaders have condemned the prosperity gospel.

While more evangelical respondents agreed that God wanted them to prosper financially, the view was also present to a lesser degree among many mainline churchgoers as well. Although Lutherans as a whole tended to be the most skeptical of the prosperity gospel, nearly half still said that God wanted them to prosper financially.

Kate Bowler, a professor at Duke Divinity School and author of Everything Happens for a Reason and Other Lies I've Loved, studied the prosperity gospel and purveyors of that theology for her doctoral research. While she didn't adopt the view that God wanted her to be rich in material things, she gradually realized that many Christians, including herself, held to a less materialistic version of that assumption.

"Believers wanted an escape: from poverty, failing health, and the feeling that their lives were leaky buckets," she says. "What they wanted was reassurance: that if they prayed, and believed, and lived righteously, they would be rewarded with some measure of comfort."

Bowler maintains that at root, the prosperity gospel is an explanation for the problem of evil. "The prosperity gospel looks at the world as it is and promises a solution. It guarantees that faith will always make a way. If you believe, and you leap, you will land on your feet. If you believe, you will be healed."

Bowler eventually realized that she was lured by a form of that belief.

"I would love to report that what I found in the prosperity gospel was something so foreign and terrible to me that I was warned away," Bowler said. "After all, the moral and logical flaws in this theology are all too evident; it explains away misfortune as something that can and ought to be held at bay through faith and prayer. But what I discovered was both familiar and painfully sweet."

She added, "I felt the lure of the promise that I could curate my life, minimize my losses, and stand on my successes. No matter how many times I rolled my eyes at the [prosperity] creed's outrageous certainties, I craved them just the same. I had my own prosperity gospel, a flowering weed grown in with all the rest."

In line with that "curating," Bowler maintained her Christian life, married her high-school sweetheart, had a beautiful son and attained a teaching position she loved.

And then she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.

Bowler now says she knows the temptation to believe that the best is yet to come and to hope for perpetual worldly betterment. "What gives the prosperity movement breadth and depth for many is its thorough accounting for the pain of life and the longing we have for restoration," she says.

However, she concludes, "But today will have to be like any other, with bloodwork and test results, decisions to be made and side effects managed. Today will be filled with possibilities and inevitabilities, with only the slenderest separation of difference between them. And enough reminders that joy persists, somehow."

Bowler's fuller account is in the third link below.

More on this story can be found at these links:

Most U.S. Protestants Believe God Wants Them to Be Rich, Study Says. Christian Today Most Churchgoers Say God Wants Them to Prosper Financially. LifeWay Research I'm a Scholar of the 'Prosperity Gospel.' It Took Cancer to Show Me I Was in Its Grip. Vox

The Big Questions Here are some of the questions we will discuss in class:

1. Why aren't all faithful Christians millionaires? If it is true that God wants to bless us materially, does that mean that anyone living in poverty is therefore not a faithful Christian?

2. Some scoundrels are financially well off. Does that mean God is blessing their lifestyles?

3. How does the fact that Jesus spent so much time with the poor equate with the prosperity gospel's claim that God wants us to be rich? Can wealth ever be one of the blessings God bestows?

4. Even if you think the claim that God wants you to be financially well off is bogus, is it possible that you believe some form of the idea, such as that God will help you to have a good life if you are faithful to him? Does anything from Bowler's story connect with you, and if so, what?

5. If a sign of true faith and faithfulness is prosperity, what does it say for those who are martyrs of the church? Did they not believe strongly enough?

Confronting the News With Scripture and Hope We will look at selected verses from these Scripture texts. You may wish to read these in advance for background:

Deuteronomy 8:1-20 John 10:7-10 Romans 8:18-30 Matthew 16:21-26

In class, we will talk about these passages and look for some insight into the big questions. Please join us.

Let Us Pray, We help to transform lives through our work for peace, with the tools God has given us. Together, in the Spirit of God, we work to break the power of hate, and heal the wounds of violence and division. We join together to pray, and boldly take action for God’s peace — at all times in all ways. Amen.

Princeton was only 13 when he was snatched by soldiers and taken to a military training camp. Two weeks later, he was carrying a gun as a soldier in Nigeria’s civil war.

“I was going to fetch water for my mom when they grabbed me, and I didn’t see my family again for two and a half years,” he says. The unfortunate reality is that children are forced to become soldiers every day in war-torn places around the world.

Finally, at age 17 — several long and terrible years later — he came home. His wartime experience wounded more than his body; it left him angry and rebellious.

However, the peace of Christ worked in his life as he confessed his Christian faith for the first time. Today he is pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Midlothian, Texas. He serves the whole Church through national initiatives of Intercultural Ministries.

Princeton speaks from the heart when he says using child soldiers is “an evil that we need to exterminate, and we need to call attention to any system that supports this evil.”

Thanks to your gifts to the Peace & Global Witness Offering, we are doing just that.

Women of the Bible

All women are invited to join us for an exploration and study of

twelve women in the Bible and the characteristics that

empowered them to be voices and role models for other women

and for us today.

We will explore the themes that Joan Chittister presents in her

book, The Friendship of Women. She looks into biblical stories of

female friendships to explain greater truths and she delves into

the sacred dimension of friendship through the lenses of faith,

tradition, and scripture. She reveals the often overlooked voices

and experiences of women in both the Old and New Testaments.

We will discuss the witness and wisdom of Lydia, Priscilla,

Phoebe, Martha, Deborah, Esther, Rachel, Ruth, Veronica,

Elizabeth, Anne, and Mary Magdalene.

Join us on October 20, 2018!

Date: Saturday, October 20, 2018
