December 2013, January and February 2014 The FBC Family Newsletter Proclaiming God’s Truth. Inspiring a Passion for God’s Glory. Dates of Interest Thinking About Corporate Worship Tom Buck H ow you think about corporate worship on Sunday morning is critical. My fear is that we don’t give much thought at all to preparing ourselves for gathering with God’s people. But if the primary goal is to hear God speak to us through his Word, respond to what we have heard with a deeper devotion of our lives, and spur one another on to love and good deeds, shouldn’t we be more proactive in preparing our hearts each Sunday? In light of that, I would like to share a few practical suggestions to better prepare yourself for corporate worship. I hope these become goals for you in the coming new year. First, make corporate worship a priority. My intent is not to be overly simplistic, but many Christians fail to see the importance of regularly gathering for corporate worship. Some Christians have either sporadic attendance or allow Sunday School to fill that role. However, both in Scripture and historically, the church has gathered weekly as the body of Christ to worship corporately. This includes elements like singing, hearing the Word preached, responding to the Word, and observing baptism and the Lord’s Supper. For some Christians, their attendance is so sporadic that they haven’t witnessed a baptism or participated in the Lord’s Supper for some time. Surely that is not honoring to the Lord. So I would encourage you as a new year approaches to consider how committed you are to the worshipful gathering of the community of believers at FBC. Week of Prayer for Missions December 1-8 Second, intentionally prepare your family for Sunday morning worship. It is imporChristmas Concert tant to prepare our hearts, minds, and bodDecember 15, 6:00 PM ies so we might give our all to going hard after God in our worship services. If we feel Christmas Eve like we are getting little out of the gathering Service of God’s people, it could be due to how December 24, 6:00 PM little we are giving to preparing ourselves. We should take effort to prepare our hearts, One Worship minds, and bodies for this important gathService ering. Set aside time on Saturday night to December 29, 10:00 AM begin the orientation on to worship. Turn off the television and spend time in prayer New Year’s asking God to give you a heart prepared to Prayer Service hear and respond to the Word. Pause to January 5, 6:00 PM read the passage of Scripture that we will be examining in the service and ask God to Great Commission help us all understand what he is saying to Focus Week us through his Word. Go to bed early January 12-18 enough so that you are fresh and emotionally alive Sunday morning. The price of late Missions Fair night movies or parties on Saturday will be January 12, 6:00 PM powerless worship Sunday morning. We Discover FBC Class would never prepare our children for a January 26, 1:30 PM good day at school in the same way we often prepare them for worship. Member’s Meeting Third, remember when worship begins and January 26, 5:30 pm when it ends. From time to time, we will all be late or need to leave early, but this Chili Cook-off should not be our normal practice. I know February 2, 5:00 PM from experience how difficult it can be to Leadership Meeting get all of the family here and on time. But, February 9, 4:30 PM whether we realize it or not, we are communicating by our promptness how important Deacon’s we believe this gathering is. We wouldn’t Widow Banquet want to miss the start of a sporting event or February 10, 6:00 PM (Continued on page 3) | PO Box 321 | Lindale, TX 75771 phone: 903-882-3396 | fax: 903-882-1949 | web: www.fbclindale.com 103 E. Van St. The FBC Family Newsletter Christmas Music Andrew Pressley The season for Christmas music is upon us, unless your name is Ryan Taber, in which case the season has already been around for a couple of months. It seems that there is an almost universal love for Christmas music, at least when it is experienced in moderation and when the songs aren’t “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” or “All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth.” Yikes. There’s a certain sentiment surrounding Christmas music. You can almost feel the cold, smell the tree, and taste the goodies during those opening sounds of “Jingle Bells.” Through the years, we have grown associations between songs and memories, particularly around the holidays. I’ve heard it said that music is the strongest associative memory prompter. I tend to believe it. But this sentiment could work to our detriment. There are many wonderful songs of the Christian faith sung around Christmas time. And often, associative sentiment can quickly digress into sheer sentimentalism. Sometimes, the reason we like to hear certain songs at Christmas is because of the memories or feelings they trigger. This seems harmless, but it might cause you to miss out on some glorious biblical truths. The Wise Men Ronnie Stribble The Bible says, "And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they felI down and worshipped him. Then opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.” From the story of the wise men we learn many things. We learn that wise men still seek God; that wise men still follow God's instructions; and that wise men not only receive from God but give to God. A businessman recently sent a Christmas message to his friends that I thought was very meaningful. He told the story of a young man whose brother gave him a new car for Christmas. When he showed it to a friend, the friend said, "I wish....." Before he could finish the sentence, the owner of the new car knew what he was thinking and offered to take him for a ride. The friend asked to be driven to his home. When they arrived, the friend went inside his home and brought out a crippled brother to show him the car. Then he said to his brother, "I wish that one day I could be that kind of brother to you." This truly is the spirit of Christmas. It is not what or how much we get, but it is what we are able to give that is important. The greatest gift you can give to Christ this Christmas is your self, and in giving your best you will be like the wise men. Consider the song “O Come All Ye Faithful.” I know no more theologically precise summary of the incarnation in music than this lesser-known verse: “True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal, praise Christ, He shuns not the virgin’s womb; Son of the Father, begotten, not created: O Come let us adore Him!” Or how about the juxtaposition of cradle and cross in “What Child Is This?” “Nails, spear shall pierce him through, the cross be borne for me, for you; Hail, hail the Word made flesh, the babe, the son of Mary!” I consistently rejoice in the promises that Christ is undoing the curses of the Fall during this verse of “Joy to the World:” “No more let sins and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow far as the curse is found!” Don’t miss the opportunity to pause and think on the great gospel truths contained in much of the Christmas music we sing. Sometimes sentiment and personal experience can cloud our vision of the gospel. May that not be the case for us this season! Notes of Thanks Church Family, Thank you for the expressions of love, kindness, and friendship during the ‘home going’ of Sallie J. Simmons. They will be cherished. -Her Family I wish to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to the staff and the people of First Baptist Lindale individually and collectively for your concern and support of me and my family during the extended illness and confinement in a nursing facility and the recent demise of my wife, Gloria. She is now in her heavenly home with her loving Savior, Jesus Christ. It has been a blessed comfort to me and my family to be able to worship our Lord and Savior here. I sincerely thank you, David S. Lively Jr. Words could never express the love we felt from our church family during my surgery and recovery. Thank you so much for all your prayers, cards, food, visits, and so many other ways you showed your love for us. God has truly blessed us through each of you. -Ray Lewis The FBC Family Newsletter God is Faithful Vernon Hughes This semester we switched our Wednesday and Sunday evening activities for our children. We now hold the AWANA program on Wednesday evenings. To be completely honest I was worried that we might lose some children in the switch. I know that we have several children whose families do not attend here, but come to AWANA. I was worried that with the switch we may lose some of those kiddos. I knew the switch was the right decision to make for our church for several reasons, but hated the thought that some children might not be with us anymore. Well guess what? We’ve had more children this year than we’ve ever had before. To give you an idea, last year the biggest night of AWANA we had 118 children. This year, the first night of AWANA we had 145. We’re so excited about the children that are coming, many of which are not FBC kids. We’re excited about being able to share the truth of the Gospel with those kiddos and hopefully being able to have a connection with their families. Please be in prayer that God will continue to bless in that way. With that in mind, we are always looking for more help. If you can listen, you have what it takes. We are always in need of more listeners in AWANA. All you have to do is listen to the children’s verses. Who knows, you might memorize some verses just by listening to them and get to see the excitement in their eyes when they learn one, too. So come join us. You’ll be glad you did. Great Commission Focus Week Schedule UUPG Discussion Lunch with John Brady January 12, 12:30 PM Missions Fair January 12, 6:00 PM Missions Prayer Breakfast January 16, 6:30 AM Stop Idolizing Your Children Ryan Taber In Exodus chapter 20 God made it clear to his people that they were to have no other gods before him. God is demanding a place of preeminence among his chosen people and the same demand is still true of us. Practically, what that means is that our lives should be oriented around worship of God. While none of us are tempted towards worship of idols carved by our hands, many of us struggle with worship of our children by making them the focal point of our lives rather that Jesus Christ. In doing so we have taken that which is our greatest blessing, our children, and worshiped the blessing rather than the One who blesses. Especially during this Christmas season let us model for our children and for the world what it looks like to live lives that truly place God at the center of our worship. Thinking About Corporate Worship, Continued from page 1. movie, why would we feel any less compelled to be on time for worshipping our Lord? Also, it is important to remember that we haven’t finished our worship until we have responded to what we have heard. The mere dispensing of information without direct life-changing challenge is not glorifying to God. Leaving early robs us of the opportunity for the Holy Spirit to speak to our hearts about what we have just heard and how we need to respond. It’s not that the Spirit can’t move at another time, but this is the perfect time that God has given to keep us from being distracted by other things. In addition, if we want our time of worship to be a sustained, God-centered focus, then we should do everything we can to limit human distraction. My coming late or leaving early might interfere significantly with someone else’s attention being drawn to God. Finally, before every part of worship – whether a song or a prayer or the sermon – have the attitude that this is for the Lord. “Lord, I come to sing to you. I come to pray to you. I come to listen to your Word. I come to respond in obedience to what you have to say.” Don’t drift through the service as though the worship is on the platform and you are simply an observer. Join in with your brothers and sisters as the children of God gather to give him His due honor. The greatest action in worship is when the heart draws near to the Lord, and we encourage one another to focus on him and desire him and trust him and enjoy him. I pray that each of us will take action this new year to be even more committed to the glorious privilege of the gathering of the Saints. The FBC Family Newsletter Recommended Reading: The Diary and Journal of David Brainerd Brainerd was an American missionary to the Native Americans during the 18th Century. Plagued by illness, depression, and general difficulty, Brainerd would be the first among us to have a reason to complain. And yet His passion for the Lord, mission work, and the Native Americans (or the heathen, as he called them) is one of the most inspiring and uplifting accounts I've ever read. If you struggle with any sort of difficulty, this is for you to be encouraged. If you struggle with complacency, this is for you to be inspired. If you think you are doing well in your walk with God, this is for you to be humbled. The journal is available online as a free download. Library Hours: Sundays 9:00-9:45 AM & 10:30-11:15 AM Wednesdays 9:00-12:00 PM & 5:30-6:00 PM I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven. ― A.W.
