There can be few statements that more accurately capture the essence of our message than the title of our new teaching series, ‘From Fear to Faith’.  If there is one word that is the signature of religion it is ‘fear’.  F.E.A.R. [False Evidence Appearing Real] is able to flourish in the church today because we have embraced what I am bold enough to call a demonic view of God.  God is good, not bad and he is good because he is love and love is good.

Just over a century ago (in November 1907) when the Pentecostal revival first reached these shores a woman by the name of Jesse Penn-Lewis wrote to Alexander Boddy a vicar from Sunderland who was known as the Father of Pentecostalism in England cautioning him: “Other spirits” are at work in your midst, which will get the upper hand and bring upon you, and the work of God, terrible trouble.”

Is that "G" upper or lower case?

 

If you found yourself asking what in the world is going at the moment with all the turmoil in the financial markets then perhaps we need look no further than the dollar bill. Perhaps the reason why the American dream has become a global nightmare is that we've stopped doing what it says on the tin. The blunt truth is that it is that even Christians who believe in God don’t necessarily believe God in times of turbulence.

I can’t help but think that if it really were the case that "In God we trust" then we'd have absolutely nothing to worry about; we’d take a deep breath of faith and declare that “this too will pass.” Sadly, since it is more accurate to say that in god or, self we trust then this could be a good time for us to baton down the hatches.

Like most new believers, when I first became a Christian I decided that wanted to read the bible for myself so I asked someone in my church where I should begin. The advice I received surprised me. “Oh” said one person “Don’t worry about the Old Testament just read the New Testament start in Matthew and read through to the end.”

I couldn’t understand why there should be 39 redundant books in the bible. Putting that to one side I set about my task of reading the New Testament. Towards the end of the book of Romans I came across a verse that changed the way confirmed my suspicion that these 39 books were in the bible for a good reason:

Cain’s not Able

I was working on my notes for next week’s Grace in The Shadows lecture on Cain and Abel and I couldn’t help but think how pertinent Cain’s story is for us today.

It is interesting that when Eve names her first son she chooses to call him “Cain” a name which means “Acquisition”. Cain becomes the father of all who are acquisitive and driven to succeed. It is possible that she felt that in her first born son she had given birth to the child of the promise. However, far from bruising Satan’s head he would break his mother’s heart.

I’m sat on the steps of the Federal Hall Memorial Building on Wall Street overlooking The New York Stock Exchange. The home of America’s financial powerhouse is a throng with Japanese tourists taking pictures and snapping up banks.

There is a palpable anxiety on Wall Street. I’m struck by the sheer number of people drawing deep on their cigarettes before pressing the stubs into the wall-mounted ashtrays like so many hopeful prayer requests pushed into the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. But these petitions are offered to the financial titans. The request is simple; restore things to the way they were before the distressed mortgage loans released their toxic fumes into our digital global financial village. Dean’s insightful blog ingeniously entitled “Secs in the City” sheds light on why the Masters of the Universe may be unable to un-answer their prayers.
