Psalm for Sunday

A responsive Psalm based on bits of todays Psalm in the Revised Common Lectionary, Psalm 103, which we will be using in Belfast South during our 11 am worship.

Praise the Lord, O my soul;
all that lies within me, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, O my soul:
Don’t forget all that he has done for us;
He forgives sin
He heals illness and injury;
He lifts us up when we find ourselves down in the depths;
He crowns us with love and compassion;
He satisfies our desires with good things
So that in him our hearts soar and our spirits are renewed.
The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
The Lord is compassionate and gracious
He is slow to anger,
Overflowing with love.
He does not stand in judgement over us forever;
He does not nurse his anger eternally.
He does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay in full for all our wrongdoing.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
as far as one side of the universe is from another,
so far has he removed our offences from us.
As a parent loves their child,
so the Lord loves those who put their trust in him;
Always and forever the Lord's love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children's children.
Praise the Lord, O my soul.
Praise the Lord.
From Psalm 103:1-6, 8-13, 17, 22

A Woman of no Distinction

Don't often post other people's stuff here... But I found this so powerful that I thought I should. It's a performance poem based on John 4: 4-30, and I have attached the original YouTube video below. A word for women, and men, everywhere... "to be known is to be loved, and to be loved is to be known." I am a woman of no distinction of little importance. I am a women of no reputation save that which is bad. You whisper as I pass by and cast judgmental glances, Though you don’t really take the time to look at me, Or even get to know me. For to be known is to be loved, And to be loved is to be known. Otherwise what’s the point in doing either one of them in the first place? I WANT TO BE KNOWN. I want someone to look at my face And not just see two eyes, a nose, a mouth and two ears; But to see all that I am, and could be all my hopes, loves and fears. But that’s too much to hope for, to wish for, or pray for So I don’t, not anymore. Now I keep to myself And by that

Psalm for Harvest Sunday

A short responsive psalm for us as a call to worship on Harvest Thanksgiving Sunday, and given that it was pouring with rain as I headed into church this morning the first line is an important remembrance that the rain we moan about is an important component of the fruitfulness of the land we live in: You tend the land and water it And the earth produces its abundance. You crown each year with your bounty, and our storehouses overflow with your goodness. The mountain meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are filled with corn; Your people celebrate your boundless grace They shout for joy and sing. from Psalm 65

Living under the Empire... (2) Where is Babylon?

We were driving back from school last week, talking about books that we had been reading and my younger son, Ciaran, asked me "Where is Babylon?" I have to confess that my history is better than my geography, and I said that it no longer exists as an inhabited city, but its ruins were to the north west of the current capital of Iraq, Baghdad. When I checked however, I discovered that it is actually about 50 miles south of Baghdad and the modern town is the administrative centre of the province of Babil... But just as the modern city is but a shadow of the historic capital of 2 ancient empires, first under Hammurabi in the 18th century BCE and then the "Neo-Babylonian" empire (under Nebuchadnezzar etc) in the 6th century BCE, so the earthly Babylonian empire/s was/were fleeting in comparison to the enduring metaphorical idea of Babylon. The original Empire under Hammurabi was probably the ultimate origin of some of the early Biblical stories, including the &quo
