From the Living Room Church
We continue to marvel at our Lord Jesus' teaching style. Currently we are pursuing His parables, with a better appreciation for the Middle East context. This Sunday we celebrated the Lord's Supper in light of the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector in Luke 18:9-14. Notice how the Holy Spirit has Luke set up the purpose of the parable in verse 9. It's not a study on how to pray or the importance of humility. While those are certainly implications, note carefully why Jesus tells this parable to His hearers then and now.
The appreciation for that parable grows even deeper when you see what the tax collector does. He has witnessed in the Temple the sacrifice of the lamb (and this is done twice daily at the time of prayers), and has seen the priest enter the Holy of Holies to offer the incense and prayers of the people. So the tax collector's prayer is loaded with the hope and earnest plea that the atonement would be made for such a great sinner as himself! He does something very rare for a middle eastern man to do: instead of standing with his arms folded across his chest, he beats his chest. Luke tells us that this is the crowd's response to watching Jesus die at the cross (Luke 23:48).
It is the cry of everyone who comes face to face with his own sin! And the wonder of all wonders: just as Jesus could say about that tax collector, in light of the anticipated death of the True Lamb who takes away the sin of the world, you and I too may know that the atonement has been made! And for such great sinners as ourselves!
What marvellous Good News we have to announce to the world! May the Lord give all of us the opportunities to learn not only this Truth for ourselves, but may He give us the people to love and share with them this Best News. Thank You, Jesus, for not discarding us as too wretched to rescue. And thank You, Jesus, for the Grace we need to love all sorts of folks who may have convinced themselves that they are beyond hope.
The gratitude You give us for our salvation is such a gift: it rescues us from working so hard, living so seriously and trying so desperately to attain to such a lifestyle that would deserve Your acceptance. It can't be done. We can lay our doing down and trust ourselves to another righteousness won for us by our Savior Himself. Lord, help us to live out this life-changing Grace so that the folks watching can see the authentic life of Christ in us. Set us free from the tyranny of the love of our reputations in which we live for the recognition of people (and add to the ranks of the Pharisees), as we trust Him for what we need to love the Father and our neighbors.

Toward a Philosophy of ministry...and Vision
One very helpful distinction with which Bruce Finn challenged me in recent months:
In light of the emphasis in Mt. 28:18-20, on "as you're going, make disciples..." the way this mission church is developing, we are conscientiously praying about the Church on the GO. There are roughly 2 ways to see the church planting models:
A) Coming Church Concept. This necessitates an attractional church which currently is very popular, in which everything is done with the question, "Whom have we targeted to come to us?" What do we do so that they will come to us?" This idea comes from the 80's when Barna predicted that 4 out of 5 neighbors would come to church if invited. In other words, "if you build it, they will come." So, just how attractive can we make us?
B) The Going Church Concept. In the face of the trends out there, Jesus says, "Go." We have to go! To go is really the Biblical pattern, after all, in order to meet the growing needs (as our beloved US grows more and more post-Christian), and in order to take an aggressive part in winning the 92,000 unchurched in our county. We at Christ Coastal mission are with God's grace, committed to be part of His going vanguard to engage an unchurched world.
The generation gap is supposed to have been invented in the '70's, but I know as an ex-hippie of a decade before then that we were well aware of all sorts of gaps. Presently I am experiencing first hand the gap between the 15-24 year-olds, and the "old guys"---it's a much larger gap than merely generational. God, help us. That is why we are so grateful for the cooking class and Bible Study for high-school guys at our house (please click on some of those pics on this blog site). May the Lord help us to find more venues to reach the youth of this Southport area.

Another night of cooking!
On Jan. 14, we had the girls over again for another cooking class. This time our neighbor Tony Collins joined us to teach all of us some new tricks and ways to make tasty food.The night ended with a lot of EATING and then a lot of clean up! :)
The above picture is of Val with Tony & Ann Collins son, Josiah. Tony is the one in the back.

Cooking Class!
Val started a cooking/discipleship class for young women. Here is a picture of everyone!
A View from the Few in the Living Room Church
On September 19 we looked at Luke 5:1--11, a powerful word picture for a church plant, on the southeast coast of North Carolina. Luke utilizes certain details of the middle east fishing community to describe the call of Simon, and the Holy Spirit encouraged us disciples in the Southport area, as well.
Note just a few of the details in the narrative: We see clearly all three offices of Christ presented in this order: Prophet (5:1-3)as Jesus teaches the Word of God, regarding the Kingdom of God (4:43); King (5:4-7) as Jesus takes command of the greatest catch of fish the seasoned fisherman Peter had ever seen; and Priest (5:8, 10) as Jesus hears the confession of Simon and re-orients his life’s direction.
Which is the greatest catch of fish here? Is it the net-breaking and boat-capsizing catch of fish, or the catch of people on the bank under the influence of His Word, or the catch of the one known later as the Big Fisherman, Simon Peter?
Details! The Holy Spirit spares us none so that we can get excited about this dramatic glimpse into the life and work of our Savior, who came “to seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:10). Note the two different words used in the original language to describe the “catch”: the catching of fish (agra) is the word for what always happens when one catches fish--the fish are caught and they die. The second word (logreo) signifies the catching alive for life. That is the radical change of Peter’s vocation specified in Luke 5:10.
And isn’t it just like real fishermen who find themselves in waters teeming with fish to NOT YELL (or radio) to the world for help? Luke tells us that they beckon or signal only to their partners for assistance (5:7).
The Word of our Lord is taught at the beginning and the Word is obeyed in the middle of the story (5:5), and at the very end (:11). The consternation of Simon at the instructions of an inland carpenter (“Didn’t HE see us washing our nets from the previous night of fishing?” Simon may have wondered),whom Simon addresses as ‘Boss’ or ‘Chief’ or ‘Skipper’(was there some sarcasm or derision there in verse 5?) would have been justified. However, Simon’s fishing world where he was an expert was invaded by One who knew more than where the fish were! And yet, look how the title changes in verse 8! Simon falls down at Jesus’ feet and acknowledges Him as Lord. There Simon learns in that encounter with the Holy One, that he is a sinner; it’s an encounter similar to the one of Isaiah 6. It’s not “Oh Wow!” or even “Ohmygosh!” but more like, “Oh WOE is me!”
Jesus corrects some flawed thinking of this soon to become fisher of men (and all of us at one time): Simon thinks the unclean sinner will defile the Holy, but Jesus instructs us all that He,the Holy One, cleanses the dirty sinner. What is imperative is the connection! It is the Gospel of the Kingdom that announces this good news for lost sinners who need to repent and believe in the Lord of the Catch. And He’s right here to make it happen.

End of Summer Update
The Living Room phase of our life is growing – slowly. We praise Him for that and thank Him, so we continue on our path of making friends for Christ’s sake. Through the summer we studied how Jesus taught us to pray (Matt. 5:5-15), with one eye on the cultural context of Jesus’ day and the other eye on our own cultural setting here in Southport and Brunswick County. We are learning how valuable a study of the Middle East context is in understanding what our Lord teaches us.
Now, this fall, we are engaged in studying a few of the dramatic actions of our Lord Jesus. Take, for example, the inauguration of His public ministry in Nazareth in Luke 4:16-30; as we did last Sunday. How did the brief reading from Is. 61 enrage a congregation? It is a fascinating study, and a sober lesson to us who are called to engage our culture in proclaiming the Good News of our Savior and representing His compassion in a lost as well as broken world.
Are you “engaged?” Seems to be the operative word these days around our house! But seriously, are you engaged in this dramatic activity of the Spirit of our Savior who still is actively seeking and rescuing folk disconnected from our Father God? Would you join us in learning how to love and befriend the many without Christ? Come over here and help us….leave more than footprints in the sand of North Carolina’s beautiful beaches.

Notes on the Life of the Spirit (with permission, by Jack Hafer)
Walt and Jack used to work together for 5 years at Aliso Creek Presb. Church in Aliso Viejo, Ca, and they became great friends. Then we left Ca. and Jack went on to produce the movie, "To End All Wars," which was a truly great movie. This is what he wrote to Walt after reading his blog for Christ Coastal Church.
"What is missing today is an adequate understanding of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Yes, he's a person, but that is confusing in a certain context - in learning how to appropriate him. The spirit of something is its core values, or to say it in another way, the heart of it. It involves our disposition, our mood, our attitude, our feelings. We say the home team crowd had great spirit at the football game. There was a great spirit in the crowd. We say after meeting with someone we liked that we love her spirit - she is kind, she is compassionate, she is loving, she makes us feel good to be around her.
I wanted To End All Wars to have "the heart of the Father." There seemed no other way to quite say what I wanted. When we want the heart of the Father, we want what he wants, love what he loves, even hate what he hates. But to have his spirit is to have that heart. To have been with a person who has his Spirit is to have been with the Father.
The way I think we get that spirit is to sit in his presence and fill ourselves up with his love, and then go out in that love. I may have to stop 20 times a day and read a Biblical passage, just a couple of verses, to remind myself, to put myself in that "mood" again, to be full of love, to be full of his Spirit. That's why Paul said be full of the Spirit, walk in the Spirit, don't quench this Spirit - it's the heart of what it means to be a Christian. It's how living by the spirit was going to be different that merely living by the law. Being given the Spirit, the New Testament believer would naturally carry out the Law that the Old Testament believer was trying to do without having the Spirit - though some obviously did have the Spirit.
Too many of us think we're saved, on our way to heaven, have the rules, and then try to "obey" God, and think because we're "good" most the time, that we're living the Christian life. But we don't try to take that extra step to go to him and get full of his Spirit. We think that our new identity is enough - we don't need to "have" anything else. We don't know about being "full" of love, so we simply try to be compliant. Well that, to me, is the leaf that we put on in the Garden of Eden to cover our brokenness. Our compliance, our being good, our "obeying" God, is good, but is not enough. We need to learn the difference in who we are when we're experiencing a personal revival inside from his Spirit, and the normal human attempt to be good and stay out of trouble.
I don't know what more to say about this, but it's the difference in what you're saying about the Word and the Person, or about the Church and the Spirit-filled believer."

Christ Coastal Church Prayer Update for March 2010
Dear Family,
I want to update you on where we are in this church planting adventure in Southport, NC.
A fresh study of the absolute necessity for the Church, the Bride of Christ, was crucial for me. Ezekiel 47:1-12 is a loaded passage which includes the Source (:1) of the water of life, the Flow (:3-4), the Size (:5) and the Effect (:9). Check it out sometime, and be encouraged to pray for the Church with the living Water, blessing the nations!
And yet, don’t miss this: while we can talk about what all is needed in the community and the world, let’s not forget that the “mainest thing,” as a little girl named Marcie from Mississippi used to say, is the Spirit of Christ. The world’s greatest need is still the gospel, and Christ really is the Answer to that need. If we’re not careful, we allow CNN or even FOX set the agenda for how we pray!
That leads me to the second piece of study in our living room: If the greatest need for Brunswick County and Southport, NC is the Savior, then do we know what that will look like, what to pray for? Note the transformation that occurred to a little village in Samaria in John 4. It is a shocking story with at least 10 major, unsettling surprises: Right after a night time visit with a big shot in the covenant community of Israel Nicodemus (John 3), John tells us about a visit with a woman of Samaria at high noon.
Note: (1) the Self-emptying of the Savior, the Son of God, tired and vulnerable, in an unfriendly land (the focus of 500 years of hostility). Instead of giving in to custom to withdraw as a woman approached, He remained seated and even asked for a drink of water (:6-9)!
(2) the “gift of God” to which Jesus refers is not a Book (the Torah for the Samaritans or Law and the Prophets for the Jews (or the Qu’ran for the Muslim)~but a Person--Himself :10-13 [see the connection now with Ezek. 47 – “the well of water springing up” Jeremiah 2:13, Isa.42:6] !
(3) the “Magic” Water exceeds our expectations (:13-15)!
(4) the Spring for Others (not kept to ourselves :16-17)!
(5) the Escape into Religion (who has not played this game when the Spirit of Christ comes downtown, to Main Street, in our hearts :17-20)?
(6) De-Zionizing Tradition (wow! This is something the evangelical world had better learn, especially today :21-25)!
(7) the first “I AM” in John’s gospel (:26)!
(8) the first (gulp!) female Preacher- (“it’s in the book”, guys :27-30)!
(9) the Invisible Food for all disciples of the Lord Jesus :31-38)!
(10) the Identification of the True Savior of the World (guess who gets to announce Him first, in John’s gospel – the Samaritans :39-42)!
Ok, if you take some time to join our living room study here, you will be able to pray with us with more enthusiasm. We want the Lord to connect some dots for us on site, but also to help people praying for us in this “parachute drop” of a church plant.
That’s what this email is about: this is an unashamed plea for pray-ers. Would you prayerfully commit to pray regularly with us and for us? Do you know how easy it is to “mess up” in this venture? Yes, I guess you folk who have known me through the years do have some idea. And while you’ve prayed for me, sometimes holding your breath, you’ve always been able to thank Him for my wife and family.
Now we are in earnest: please let us know if you are in the position in your busy schedule to take us on for vital prayer. I would give anything for 120 prayerful, expectant brothers and sisters lifting up this work and the Shepards….for the Holy Spirit to show Himself in all facets of this mission development. It is all about “Thuh Relationship” with the Lord Jesus, and not some strained and testy religious talk about “church,” as this culture knows it. And yet how I long to see them all come to know a different kind of “Church,” the Bride and Body of Christ, where they will find the Living Water through the vital relationships with His own folks!
We are desperate to hear from you. Soon, we will have the website I’ve talked about before, up and running for regular reads from us.
How we love you all! And how we thank God for you all!
Walt
