jesus came to save sinners contains five original songs that teach children about the character and nature of god and his plan to save sinners through jesus christ these songs correspond with the five foundational truths jesus came to save sinners god is good god is in charge of everything god wants to talk with us god made everything taught each weekend in our preschool ministry the little village the mission and vision of the little village is to partner with parents to build a firm spiritual foundation for their children our hope is that these songs will be an effective tool in engaging your

out if you get some time http hv thevillagechurch net blog worship 5 comments gossip posted by michael the following is written by ray ortlund q what are the duties required in the ninth commandment a the duties required in the ninth commandment are the preserving and promoting of truth between man and man and the good name of our neighbor loving desiring and rejoicing in their good name a ready receiving of a good report and unwillingness to admit of an evil report concerning them so says the westminster larger catechism the bible itself is so clear against gossip probably because we are so inclined toward gossip o lord who shall sojourn in your tent who shall dwell on your holy hill he who does not take up a reproach against his friend psalm 15 1 3 there are six things that the lord hates seven that are an abomination to him one who sows discord among brothers proverbs 6 16 19 thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people leviticus 19 1 6 av do not speak evil against one another brothers james 4 1 1 argue your case with your neighbor himself and do not reveal another s secret proverbs 25 9 god gave them up to a debased mind they are gossips romans 1 28 2 9 there are many biblical passages confronting gossip the witness of god against this sin is overwhelming what is gossip it is not necessarily false information slander is false gossip might include true information and maybe that s why gossip doesn t always feel sinful what makes it sin is first and foremost that god says it s sin but gossip spreads what can include accurate information to diminish another person that is not how people behave when they are living in the power of the grace of god gossip is our dark moral fervor eagerly seeking gratification gossip makes us feel important and needed as we declare our judgments it makes us feel included to know the inside scoop it makes us feel powerful to cut someone else down to size especially someone we are jealous of it makes us feel righteous even responsible to pronounce someone else guilty gossip can feel good in multiple ways but it is of the flesh not of the spirit adultery too is a serious sin and one likely to be disciplined in a church but i have never seen a church split over the sin of adultery gossip is a sin rarely disciplined but often more socially destructive than the sensational sins gossip leaves a wide trail of devastation wherever and however it goes word of mouth email blogging youtube it erodes trust and destroys morale it creates a social environment of suspicion where everyone must wonder what is being said behind their backs and whether appearances of friendship are sincere it ruins hard won reputations with cowardly but effective weapons of misrepresentation it manipulates people into taking sides when no such action is necessary or beneficial it unleashes the dark powers of psychological transference doing violence to the gossiper to the one receiving the gossip and to the person being spoken against it makes the body of christ look like the body of antichrist destroyers rather than healers it exhausts the energies we would otherwise devote to positive witness it robs our lord of the church he deserves it exposes the hostility in our hearts and discredits the gospel in the eyes of the world then we wonder why we don t see more conversions why the ground is so hard what should we do when a conversation starts slipping into gossip we should immediately challenge the sin hey friend sorry to interrupt but this is gossip so here s the deal this conversation is now on hold until you go get _____________ and then you can start over and say whatever you feel you must say right to his face i am willing to be a witness to that conversation but i will not participate in gossip what do you choose to do amy carmichael established this rule at her mission station never about always to let all things be done for building up 1 corinthians 14 26 therefore let s always ask ourselves these words about to rise up out of my mouth or go out through my keyboard do they build up am i being constructive if the person i feel like discussing were here with me right now how would his presence change what i feel like saying do not be deceived revilers will not inherit the kingdom of god and such were some of you but you were washed you were sanctified you were justified in the name of the lord jesus christ and by the spirit of our god 1 corinthians 6 9 11 5 comments thank you wd 40 posted by michael i walked into evan s room this morning and saw two walls covered in purple crayon i googled how to get crayon off of walls and found wd 40 to be the most popular so i tried it and it worked i did discover that wd 40 and towels don t mix well 7 comments tim keller religion vs the gospel posted by michael religion i obey therefore i m accepted the gospel i m accepted therefore i obey religion motivation is based on fear and insecurity the gospel motivation is based on grateful joy religion i obey god in order to get things from god the gospel i obey god to get to god to delight and resemble him religion when circumstances in my life go wrong i am angry at god or my self since i believe like job s friends that anyone who is good deserves a comfortable life the gospel when circumstances in my life go wrong i struggle but i know all my punishment fell on jesus and that while he may allow this for my training he will exercise his fatherly love within my trial religion when i am criticized i am furious or devastated because it is critical that i think of myself as a good person threats to that self image must be destroyed at all costs the gospel when i am criticized i struggle but it is not critical for me to think of myself as a good person my identity is not built on my record or my performance but on god s love for me in christ i can take criticism religion my prayer life consists largely of petition and it only heats up when i am in a time of need my main purpose in prayer is control of the environment the gospel my prayer life consists of generous stretches of praise and adoration my main purpose is fellowship with him religion my self view swings between two poles if and when i am living up to my standards i feel confident but then i am prone to be proud and unsympathetic to failing people if and when i am not living up to standards i feel insecure and inadequate i m not confident i feel like a failure the gospel my self view is not based on a view of my self as a moral achiever in christ i am simul iustus et peccator simultaneously sinful and yet accepted in christ i am so bad he had to die for me and i am so loved he was glad to die for me this leads me to deeper and deeper humility and confidence at the same time neither swaggering nor sniveling religion my identity and self worth are based mainly on how hard i work or how moral i am and so i must look down on those i perceive as lazy or immoral i disdain and feel superior to the other the gospel my identity and self worth are centered on the one who died for his enemies who was excluded from the city for me i am saved by sheer grace so i can t look down on those who believe or practice something different from me only by grace i am what i am i ve no inner need to win arguments religion since i look to my own pedigree or performance for my spiritual acceptability my heart manufactures idols it may be my talents my moral record my personal discipline my social status etc i absolutely have to have them so they serve as my main hope meaning happiness security and significance whatever i may say i believe about god the gospel i have many good things in my life family work spiritual disciplines etc but none of these good things are ultimate things to me none of them are things i absolutely have to have so there is a limit to how much anxiety bitterness and despondency they can inflict on me when they are threatened and lost 44
