Worship Service: Children & Adult - October 03, 2010
The Lord warns us about falling asleep spiritually (Matt. 26: 41; Arcana Coelestia 5210; Apocalypse Revealed 158) And He came to the disciples, and found them asleep, and said to Peter, What, could you not watch with Me one hour? Watch [or stay awake] and pray, that you enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. (Matthew 26:40, 41) "And he fell asleep" means a state of obscurity. This is clear from the meaning of "sleeping" as a state of obscurity. 'Sleep' has no other meaning than this in the spiritual sense, even as "wakefulness" means nothing else than a state of brightness; for spiritual sleep is a time when truths remain in obscurity, spiritual wakefulness when truths exist in brightness. And to the extent that truths are in the one state or else the other, spirits are awake or asleep. From this it is evident that 'falling asleep' is a state of obscurity.

Focus for Week 1: How Does God Speak to Me? Featured Story: Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13) If God created us, it makes sense that He would want to communicate with us.

Using the tools provided, we can look deeper into God's Word to find the answers to some big questions. | By Rt. Rev. Thomas L. Kline | Bryn Athyn CathedralHow Does God Speak To Me?

What the Lord does to empower us now and experience heaven now. (Luke 22:35-38; Arcana Coelestia 9088, 10026) Truths teach a person in whom he ought to believe, and what he ought to believe, also what he ought to do, thus how he ought to will; for whatever one does he does from the will in accordance with his understanding. Since then, a person's will itself is evil by birth and the understanding teaches what good and evil are, and a person can will either good or evil, it follows that he must be reformed by means of the understanding. As long as anyone sees and mentally acknowledges that evil is evil, and good is good, and thinks that the good ought to be chosen, he is in what is called the state of reformation. But when his will leads him to shun evil and do good, the state of regeneration begins. (True Christian Religion #587) | By Rev. Ryan Sandstrom | Ivyland New Church, PA
