Building A Bridge

February 17, 2015

Read: 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 | Bible in a Year: Leviticus 21-22; Matthew 28

James Michener’s Centennial is a fictional account of the history and settlement of the American West. Through the eyes of a French-Canadian trader named Pasquinel, Michener converges the stories of the Arapaho of the Great Plains and the European-based community of St. Louis. As this rugged adventurer moves between the growing clutter of the city and the wide-open spaces of the plains, he becomes a bridge between two drastically different worlds.

Followers of Christ also have the opportunity to build bridges between two very different worlds—those who know and follow Jesus and those who do not know Him. Early Christians in Thessalonica had been building bridges to their idol-worshiping culture, so Paul said of them, “For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place” (1 Thess. 1:8). The bridge they were building had two components: the “word of the Lord” and the example of their faith. It was clear to everyone that they had “turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God” (v.9).

As God declares Himself to those around us by His Word and through our lives, we can become a bridge to those who do not yet know the love of Christ.

Father, help us live in such a way that others
will want to know about Your Son. May we not
merely try to do what’s “right” but instead
live as people forgiven and loved by You.

Live the gospel, and others will listen.

INSIGHT: In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul says that the greatest things are faith, hope, and love (v.13). In today’s passage, he commends the people of the church in Thessalonica for exhibiting these very traits. They work in faith and labor in love while hoping in Jesus Christ (1 Thess. 1:3).

Hi Everybody!

LESLEY GORE (1946-2015)

”It’s My Party”

”She’s a Fool”

”Judy’s Turn to Cry”
Catch the harpsichord in the arrangement.

”You Don’t Own Me”
Written by John Madera and Dave White. Dave was with Danny & the Juniors.

”Maybe I Know”
Quincy Jones gave her a Burlesque runway arrangement. My personal favorite.

”The Look of Love”
Both the single and album versions electronically merged into one with scenes from “Two For the Road”.

Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows”
From the totally forgettable movie “Ski Party”.

”California Nights”
By this time she had teamed up with Bob Crewe as producer. He had produced the Four Seasons and many others, and was one of the key figures of pop music in the era. He died just a short time ago. Great use of harpsichord.

”It’s a Happening World”
The volume is too low for this video, but this is a Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil collaboration. It’s a plea for being conventional during 1967, the year of hippies and the Summer of Love.
