Minister’s Corner
The Lord Is Able to Make
Us New
By Rev. Tony Elder
Recently my wife was using
our microwave oven when she
noticed a little piece of plastic
sticking up around the keypad.
It turns out that it was one of
those clear coverings used to
protect a new appliance.
When we first purchased
and set up our microwave, we
had evidently overlooked that
protective piece of plastic and
had failed to remove it.
It had fit so well and was so transparent that we hadn’t
noticed it up until now - and we’ve had this oven for sev
eral years. So when my wife peeled off the plastic, it re
sulted in that part of the appliance looking brand new
again.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could peel off a layer of our
skin every so often and become like new? Our faith in
Christ doesn’t offer us such a physical renewal. If it did
there would probably be crowds of people flocking to
Christianity for all the wrong reasons. However, the Bible
does assure us that there is a definite newness provided
for those who put their faith in the Lord. Our bodies may
not suddenly become young-looking again, but our spirits
and our hearts can be made new.
Even in the Old Testament it looked ahead to a time
when God would do such a work of transformation in His
people. “I will cleanse you from all your filthiness.. .1 will
give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you.. .1
will put My Spirit within you” (Ezekiel 36:25-27). The
New Testament affirms the reality of such a change made
possible for those who enter „ . , _

When Religion
Becomes Drudgery
“It is imperfection in
Religion to drudge in it,
and every man drudges in
Religion if he takes it up
as a task and carries it as
a burden. ”
-Benjamin Whichcote
G oing to church, reading
scripture, and praying can
become drudgery if we see
these things as nothing more than
tasks which must be done rather
than a joyful communion with our
Creator. It is good to pray and read
scripture every day, and to go to
church regularly, but if you are only
doing it out of a sense of duty you are
missing the spirit of the thing and
are surely not getting out of it what
you might be if you could connect
with the joy at the center of all true
religion. When we cannot go to
church or read scripture we may feel
the lack to such a degree that we
regain the sense of joy when we
'r
return to it, suggesting that it’s
alright to take an occasional break
from our religious routines. Perhaps
a better way to regain that
experience of holy joy is to
occasionally alter how you pray, read
scripture, or otherwise practice
religion. Going to a different church,
praying new prayers, or simply
engaging in different religious
practices can sometimes reconnect
us to God in a way that our old
routines cannot.
