via The Genevan Psalter by David Koyzis on 11/21/11


In 1952 Miklós Rózsa, one of Hollywood’s great film composers, borrowed the Genevan Psalter’s tune for Psalms 36 and 68 in scoring Plymouth Adventure, the story of the Pilgrims’ migration to North America in 1620.

Here is the text sung by the chorus:

Confess Jehovah thankfully,
For He is good, for His mercie
Continueth for ever.
To God of gods confess doo ye,
Because His bountiful-mercee
Continueth for ever.
Unto the Lord of lords confesse
Because His merciful kindnes
Continueth for ever.
To Him that dooth Himself onely,
Things wondrous great, for His Mercy
Continueth for ever.

The film’s creators obviously did their homework, for this text comes from Henry Ainsworth’s Psalter of 1612, which the Pilgrims brought with them from the Netherlands. This versification is of Psalm 136, which Ainsworth’s Psalter assigns to this tune. I’ve not seen this film myself, but a friend told me that it aired last evening on television.

Setting up MMA’s Mobile Clinic

Christ Our Savior Anglican Church and the Torrance Outreach for Unified Community Health (TOUCH) Coalition demonstrated  Medical Mission Adventures’ (MMA)  mobile medical clinic for Torrance Memorial Medical Center (TMMC) on Friday, November 11, 2011. In attendance were representatives from the community, including the Salvation Army, Torrance Corps.

Mr. Louie Rosado, President of MMA and Dr. Finnell, Executive Director of Anglican Health Ministries and founder of TOUCH, made a presentation to the executive staff of TMMC followed by a clinic walkthrough. All of the clinic’s capabilities were on display (i.e. medical, dental, and optical). The presentation focused on the need for primary medical care services among the area’s uninsured and underinsured population and how community organizations can network together to enhance continuity of care and reduce uncompensated emergency department visits.

Psalm 119:161-168 Ezekiel 42:10-43:21; 2 Peter 3:1-13

You have blessed it, O Lord, and it shall be blessed forever.

1 Chronicles 17:27 (NKJV)

Those who believe are blessed with Abraham who believed. Galatians 3:9

 

Thanks you Heavenly Father for Your purpose to bless the House of David and all who entrust themselves to David’s Son, our Risen and Glorious Messiah, Jesus. Though we have sinned and sin each day He is the sinless One in whom we find all forgiveness and blessing. We bring to you our sin and own it and ask you to forgive and cleanse us from it. We pray that the mercy we have received will continue to be poured out through the nations and the generations. Equip us this day Father to bear witness to Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit that we might fulfill the tasks assigned us in the work of declaring the victory of Christ throughout the world through our witness, service and life together we pray through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

It has become a predator on human misery. A church that cannot say how God intends human souls and communities to be—loving and fearing God above all things, honoring parents, remaining faithful to spouses, restraining the urge to steal and covet, speaking truthfully about others—is like a scavenger lying in wait for the wounded to fall. Then it pounces, at no risk to itself, to snap up all the shattered pieces. It can offer little more than a spiritual bandaid to the damage and has no way of helping to reconstruct what has been destroyed and lost, no vision of God’s good intentions to guide that reconstruction. It has done absolutely nothing to prevent the fall of the wounded in the first place. http://www.lutheranforum.org/blogs/desperately-seeking-the-first-use-of-the-law/
