The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

Matthew 6:9-13

Declaration Of Faith
The Apostles' Creed
This historic affirmation of faith comes to us from the early centuries of
the Christian church.
MP3 audio file at

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord;
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit;
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven
And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit;
The holy catholic church; *
The communion of saints;
The forgiveness of sins;
The resurrection of the body;
And the life everlasting.

Amen.

* Note: "catholic church" here means the entire body of
believers in Christ, not just one particular church.

Exhortation
"Always Try To Set A Good Example For Other People."
A GOOD RULE FOR LIFE . . . "Always Try To Set A Good Example For Other
People."

"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot
be hid.

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a
candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

Matthew 5:14-16 KJV

You may not realize it, but other people are constantly observing the
things that you say and do. On the job, in traffic, among friends, out
shopping, everywhere you go you present an opportunity for other people to
observe your behaviour. So let yourself become a good example to others,
not a bad example.
In Galatians, chapter five, Paul lists seventeen things as "works of the
flesh" and nine things as "fruit of The Spirit. He says that flesh and
Spirit are in conflict. And he urges us to live by The Spirit and not by
the flesh.

Works Of The Flesh Fruit Of The Spirit

1. Adultery 1. Love
2. Fornication (Greek: porneia) 2. Joy
3. Uncleanness 3. Peace
4. Lasciviousness (lewdness) 4. Longsuffering (patience)
5. Idolatry 5. Gentleness (kindness)
6. Witchcraft 6. Goodness (moral correctness)
7. Hatred 7. Faith
8. Variance (discord) 8. Meekness
9. Emulations (jealousies) 9. Temperance (self control)
10. Wrath
11. Strife (rivalries)
12. Seditions (dissentions)
13. Heresies
14. Envyings
15. Murders
16. Drunkenness
17. Revellings (carousing)
" . . . and such . . . "

GALATIANS 5:13-26 (KJV)

13
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use
not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love
serve one another.
14
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this;
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye
be not consumed one of another.
16
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not
fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit
against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the
other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath,
strife, seditions, heresies,
21
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:
of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in
time past, that they which do such things shall not
inherit the kingdom of God.
22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with
the affections and lusts.
25
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one
another, envying one another.

May the Lord bless this presentation.

Poem
"All The Way My Saviour Leads Me," - by Fanny J. Crosby
ALL THE WAY MY SAVIOUR LEADS ME - by Fanny J. Crosby, 1875
- Public Domain -

All the way my Saviour leads me;
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His faithful mercies,
Who through life has been my guide?
Heav'nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him do dwell;
For I know whate'er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.

All the way my Saviour leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread;
Gives me strength for every trial,
Feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo, a spring of joy I see.

All the way my Saviour leads me,
O the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised,
In my Father's house above;
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day,
This my song through endless ages:
"Jesus led me all the way."

Prayer For You
"Go Ahead And Give Yourself To Christ"

NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I
speak it to you. In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it
the same as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.
(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch
them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)

Perhaps you are a Christian even now,
You go to church and try to do your best,
You try to put His teachings in your life,
But still you do not feel that He is yours.
You do not feel the closeness that you crave.
If this is you, then say this prayer with me:
* * *
O Lord, I want you closer in my life,
I want you more to be a part of me.
I want the best relationship with you,
That anyone on earth could ever have.
I know that, "as we give, we shall receive,"
And so I now do give myself to you,
In full completeness, holding nothing back.
I'm yours, so you may use me as you will,
And take whatever things you want from me.
And now that I did give myself to you,
I pray that you will give yourself to me,
As bridegroom gives himself to his new bride.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

How To Find A Real, Live Church
An online church is better than no church at all; but it is even better
for most Christians to actually belong to a real, live church, with real,
live people. Then, you can have your real church PLUS your online church,
so you gain the benefits of both. You can find a church for yourself by

I pray the Lord that He will lead your path
Away from the temptations all around.

But if temptation grabs you as you pass,

In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Exhortation
If it doesn't please the Lord, DON'T DO IT!

A GOOD RULE FOR LIFE . . .

If it doesn't please the Lord, DON'T DO IT!

We have the Holy Spirit within us, right? Holy Spirit will let us
know if our thoughts and actions are pleasing to Him. Let Holy
Spirit guide us to please Him constantly.

Through the Holy Spirit within us, we have the taken on the mind of
Christ. If it is fully developed in us, we like the same things He
likes, we feel the same things He feels. This is "advanced
Christianity" in its highest form!

"But we have the mind of Christ."
(1 Corinthians 2:16b KJV)

Therefore, we know what pleases Him and what does not.

Since we have given ourselves to Him, and since we know what He likes
and what He does not like, then we should always give Him what He
likes.

It is our pleasure and our joy to serve Him in this manner.

This is what we are living for.

A Service Of Christmusic At LoveAllPeople.org

GOD'S WORLD, Given to all people, for all people.
"Treat Other People As You Would Like To Be Treated."

Words are by Martin Luther, translated. Music (EIN' FESTE BURG) is by
Martin Luther, arranged by J. S. Bach, with MIDI sequence by Rev. Bill
McGinnis from a published Bach arrangement. Everything here is Public
Domain, free for all to use without restriction.

NOTE: This is the most spectacular four-part arrangement of this music
that I have ever heard. I found the music contained within a larger
published Bach work, and I converted it faithfully by hand into a MIDI
sequence with a brisk tempo and strict, uniform meter, keeping Bach's
exact pitches and harmonies. Holy Spirit guided this effort more than any
other He has ever done with me. Every note was exactly as He dictated.
When you get to Heaven, expect to hear this arrangement being sung by
angels. Enjoy!

A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD - by Martin Luther (1529), Translated by
Frederick H. Hedge (1853).

A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and pow'r are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth His name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim -
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure;
One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly pow'rs -
No thanks to them - abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him Who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill;
God's truth abideth still,
His kingdom is for ever.

Amen.

Declaration Of Faith
The Apostles' Creed
This historic affirmation of faith comes to us from the early centuries of
the Christian church.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord;
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit;
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven
And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit;
The holy catholic church; *
The communion of saints;
The forgiveness of sins;
The resurrection of the body;
And the life everlasting.

Amen.

* Note: "catholic church" here means the entire body of
believers in Christ, not just one particular church.

Exhortation: "Give Other People The Benefit Of The Doubt:"

There is an excellent concept called "Benefit Of the Doubt," and it can be
defined as, "to believe something good about someone, rather than
something bad, when you have the possibility of doing either."
Example: "After hearing his explanation, I was prepared to give him the
benefit of the doubt."

Source: http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/give+the+benefit+of+the+doubt

This fits very nicely with The Golden Rule ("Treat Others As You Would
Like To Be Treated"): You like to receive the benefit of the doubt, so
therefore you should give other people the benefit of the doubt.

Other Examples: In American law, the jury must find the defendant to be
guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt" before it can convict him of a crime.
In the English sport of Cricket, this principle is employed by umpires in
cases of uncertainty concerning a batsman possibly being out, in which the
decision must be in the batsman's favour.

So when somebody is accused of doing something wrong, you should
immediately think, "I doubt that he would do that."

And when somebody actually does something wrong, you should immediately
think, "Maybe he had a good reason to do that."

And if somebody actually does something wrong to you without a good
reason, you should immediately think, "I might have done the very same
thing if I were in his position. If so, I would like to be forgiven.
Therefore, I forgive him."

Poem
"All The Way My Saviour Leads Me," - by Fanny J. Crosby
ALL THE WAY MY SAVIOUR LEADS ME - by Fanny J. Crosby, 1875
- Public Domain -

All the way my Saviour leads me;
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His faithful mercies,
Who through life has been my guide?
Heav'nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him do dwell;
For I know whate'er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.

All the way my Saviour leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread;
Gives me strength for every trial,
Feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo, a spring of joy I see.

All the way my Saviour leads me,
O the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised,
In my Father's house above;
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day,
This my song through endless ages:
"Jesus led me all the way."

Prayer For You
"Go Ahead And Give Yourself To Christ"

NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I
speak it to you. In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it
the same as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.
(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch
them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)

Perhaps you are a Christian even now,
You go to church and try to do your best,
You try to put His teachings in your life,
But still you do not feel that He is yours.
You do not feel the closeness that you crave.
If this is you, then say this prayer with me:
* * *
O Lord, I want you closer in my life,
I want you more to be a part of me.
I want the best relationship with you,
That anyone on earth could ever have.
I know that, "as we give, we shall receive,"
And so I now do give myself to you,
In full completeness, holding nothing back.
I'm yours, so you may use me as you will,
And take whatever things you want from me.
And now that I did give myself to you,
I pray that you will give yourself to me,
As bridegroom gives himself to his new bride.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Benediction

I pray the Lord that He will lead your path
Away from the temptations all around.
I pray that when temptation lingers near,
The Lord will lead you not into its reach.
But if temptation grabs you as you pass,
I pray the Lord that you will struggle free.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord.

We, The People Of The United States Of America, Have The Legitimate Authority And Responsibility To Govern Ourselves

We, The People Of The United States Of America, Have The Legitimate
Authority And Responsibility To Govern Ourselves,
Free From Domination By The Neo-Conservatives And Their Deregulated
Corporate Friends.

MP3 Reading At http://www.loveallpeople.org/legitimateauthority.mp3 -

Every American receives a legitimate inheritance, handed down by those who
lived and died here before us; and that inheritance is our Government, as
set forth by our Constitution. This Constitution gives to each American
the exact same rights and protections it gives to every other American,
including an equal share in the power of Government.
The American People of an earlier time created this Government, and they
clearly announced its purposes and objectives . . .

"We the People of the United States, in Order
to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure
domestic Tranquility, provide for the common
defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure
the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our
Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution
for the United States of America."
- Preamble to the United States Constitution

And we, the American People today, are the "Posterity" mentioned above by
the Founders. We have now inherited the authority and responsibility to
maintain this Government according to the specifications established by
the Constitution. This authority does not belong to any King or any Upper
Class, or Nobility, or Corporations, or Religious Authorities, or Rich
People, or Well-Educated People, or Elected Politicians or any other
special person or group.
The American People are the sovereign power. We are self-governing. Acting
through our Government, under the Constitution, we can make or modify any
or all of the rules by which our economy and our country operate. We make
the laws; and we can unmake them. We create the corporations; and we can
un-create them. We have allowed some people to accumulate disproportionate
wealth and power; and we can disallow it. We even have the power to change
the Constitution, following the procedures set forth in the Constitution
for its own amendment. Our Government is a Democracy; it is ours. And it
belongs equally to all of us.

I hope and pray that We The People will be strong enough, and smart
enough, and diligent enough to take back this wonderful gift we have
inherited, and not let it be soiled and corrupted any further by this
misguided band of Neo-Conservatives who think it now belongs to them
alone.

Blessings to you. May God help us all.

An Open Letter To Republican Office Holders And Their Supporters: "Our Fantasy Nation?"

An Open Letter To Republican Office Holders And Their Supporters: "Our
Fantasy Nation?"

Our Fantasy Nation? By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF

- - - article begins below - - -

It has among the lowest tax burdens of any major country: fewer than 2
percent of the people pay any taxes. Government is limited, so that
burdensome regulations never kill jobs.

This society embraces traditional religious values and a conservative
sensibility. Nobody minds school prayer, same-sex marriage isn.t
imaginable, and criminals are never coddled.

The budget priority is a strong military, the nation.s most respected
institution. When generals decide on a policy for, say, Afghanistan,
politicians defer to them. Citizens are deeply patriotic, and nobody burns
flags.

So what is this Republican Eden, this Utopia? Why, it.s Pakistan.

Now obviously Sarah Palin and John Boehner don.t intend to turn Washington
into Islamabad-on-the-Potomac. And they are right that long-term budget
issues do need to be addressed. But when many Republicans insist on
.starving the beast. of government, cutting taxes, regulations and social
services . slashing everything but the military . well, those are steps
toward Pakistan.

The United States is, of course, in no danger of actually becoming
Pakistan, any more than we.re going to become Sweden at the other extreme.
But as America has become more unequal, as we cut off government lifelines
to the neediest Americans, as half of states plan to cut spending on
higher education this year, let.s be clear about our direction . and about
the turnaround that a Republican budget victory would represent.

The long trajectory of history has been for governments to take on more
responsibilities, and for citizens to pay more taxes. Now we.re at a
turning point, with Republicans arguing that we need to reverse course.

I spend a fair amount of time reporting in developing countries, from
Congo to Colombia. They.re typically characterized by minimal taxes, high
levels of inequality, free-wheeling businesses and high military
expenditures. Any of that ring a bell?

In Latin American, African or Asian countries, I sometimes see shiny tanks
and fighter aircraft . but schools that have trouble paying teachers.
Sound familiar? And the upshot is societies that are quasi-feudal,
stratified by social class, held back by a limited sense of common
purpose.

Maybe that.s why the growing inequality in America pains me so. The
wealthiest 1 percent of Americans already have a greater net worth than
the bottom 90 percent, based on Federal Reserve data. Yet two-thirds of
the proposed Republican budget cuts would harm low- and moderate-income
families, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

For a country that prides itself on social mobility, where higher
education has been a traditional escalator to a better life, cutbacks in
access to college are a scandal. G. Jeremiah Ryan, the president of Bergen
Community College in New Jersey, tells me that when the college was set up
in 1965, two-thirds of the cost of running it was supposed to be covered
by state and local governments, and one-third by students. The reality
today, Dr. Ryan says, is that students bear 78 percent of the cost.

In fairness to Pakistan and Congo, wealthy people in such countries manage
to live surprisingly comfortably. Instead of financing education with
taxes, these feudal elites send their children to elite private schools.
Instead of financing a reliable police force, they hire bodyguards.
Instead of supporting a modern health care system for their nation, they
fly to hospitals in London.

You can tell the extreme cases by the hum of diesel generators at night.
Instead of paying taxes for a reliable electrical grid, each wealthy
family installs its own powerful generator to run the lights and
air-conditioning. It.s noisy and stinks, but at least you don.t have to
pay for the poor.

I.ve always made fun of these countries, but now I see echoes of that
pattern of privatization of public services in America. Police budgets are
being cut, but the wealthy take refuge in gated communities with private
security guards. Their children are spared the impact of budget cuts at
public schools and state universities because they attend private
institutions.

Mass transit is underfinanced; after all, Mercedes-Benzes and private jets
are much more practical, no? And maybe the most striking push for reversal
of historical trends is the Republican plan to dismantle Medicare as a
universal health care program for the elderly.

There.s even an echo of the electrical generator problem. More and more
affluent homes in the suburbs are buying electrical generators to use when
the power fails.

So in this season.s political debates, let.s remember that we.re arguing
not only over debt ceilings and budgets, but about larger questions of our
vision for our country. Do we really aspire to take a step in the
direction of a low-tax laissez-faire Eden ...like Pakistan?

I invite you to comment on this column on my blog, On the Ground. Please
also join me on Facebook, watch my YouTube videos and follow me on
Twitter.

exact pitches and harmonies. Holy Spirit guided this effort more than any
other He has ever done with me. Every note was exactly as He dictated.
When you get to Heaven, expect to hear this arrangement being sung by

A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD - by Martin Luther (1529), Translated by
Frederick H. Hedge (1853).

A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and pow'r are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth His name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim -
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure;
One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly pow'rs -
No thanks to them - abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him Who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill;
God's truth abideth still,
His kingdom is for ever.

Amen.

He ascended into heaven
And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

The communion of saints;
The forgiveness of sins;
The resurrection of the body;

Poem
"All The Way My Saviour Leads Me," - by Fanny J. Crosby
ALL THE WAY MY SAVIOUR LEADS ME - by Fanny J. Crosby, 1875
- Public Domain -

All the way my Saviour leads me;
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His faithful mercies,
Who through life has been my guide?
Heav'nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him do dwell;
For I know whate'er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.

All the way my Saviour leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread;
Gives me strength for every trial,
Feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo, a spring of joy I see.

All the way my Saviour leads me,
O the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised,
In my Father's house above;
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day,
This my song through endless ages:
"Jesus led me all the way."

Prayer For You
"Go Ahead And Give Yourself To Christ"

NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I
speak it to you. In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it
the same as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.
(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch
them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)

Perhaps you are a Christian even now,
You go to church and try to do your best,
You try to put His teachings in your life,
But still you do not feel that He is yours.
You do not feel the closeness that you crave.
If this is you, then say this prayer with me:
* * *
O Lord, I want you closer in my life,
I want you more to be a part of me.
I want the best relationship with you,
That anyone on earth could ever have.
I know that, "as we give, we shall receive,"
And so I now do give myself to you,
In full completeness, holding nothing back.
I'm yours, so you may use me as you will,
And take whatever things you want from me.
And now that I did give myself to you,
I pray that you will give yourself to me,
As bridegroom gives himself to his new bride.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

How To Find A Real, Live Church
An online church is better than no church at all; but it is even better
for most Christians to actually belong to a real, live church, with real,
live people. Then, you can have your real church PLUS your online church,
so you gain the benefits of both. You can find a church for yourself by

Benediction

I pray the Lord that He will lead your path
Away from the temptations all around.
I pray that when temptation lingers near,
The Lord will lead you not into its reach.
But if temptation grabs you as you pass,
I pray the Lord that you will struggle free.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord.
This chapel service is now complete.
