Comment on Rahab the Do-Nothing by Alison

An impression from today’s (11 Oct) follow-up: looking at the collection of stones you had arranged on the floor, they reminded me of a section of Roman road. We saw something similar on holiday, where a museum in France has uncovered just a small section that is actual Roman road, amid other bits of building etc.

Don’t know if this is an impression from God, or more an observation, but when looking at the stones, and people gradually coming to pick them up, had the impression of people starting to build their own roads in their lives/circumstances for God to walk along. It seemed a positive thing – not making their own plans for how He was to come and be with them, but making a beginning for a path to walk together. Perhaps this ties in with your hope of this season leading to long term change for people through prayer. Hope that’s of encouragement!

Comment on Why don’t we pray? – Part 4 by Ruth c

Here`s a story that Jean brand told us on Counselling Course last year about ` why we don`t pray`. It is a story that simultaneously offended me and resonated with me.

Let me set the scene, Jane Austen`s England, a country village in the shimmering sun. Sophie is walking along listening to songbirds when gallantly strolling towards her is Mr. Darcy. As he approaches he smiles , tips his hat and wishes Sophie good day. The next day in great anticipation Sophie strolls the same route and this time is delighted to be engaged in conversation by Mr. Darcy. He asks if she will meet him the next day, under the willow tree at the village Green at 2pm. Sophie gladly accepts.
The next morning Sophie eagerly prepares herself with pritties dress and new bonnet. Asthe special time approaches she skips along to agreed willow tree and waits and waits and waits. Mr Darcy for some unforeseen circumstance doesnt appear and a liitle crushed Sophie returns home.
The following day Sophie is in town and happens to bump into Mr D who apologises for his absence but rearranges to meet the next day.
Once again Sophie prepares a little less excitedly but arrives in good time and waits and yes Mr D fails to materialise.
A week or so later when Sophie sees Mr D and he again offers to meet her she agrees but decides not to turn up.

Do you know, I still havent `got it ` but it does offend and resonate with my experiences of prayer times ! Help anyone ?

Thanks Alison for the comment. I don’t want to demean understanding of a text, which is important. I guess i am probably saying this if it stays in our head then we have missed out on a deeper transformation.

However, i am so glad the particular approach to the text was helpful to you. I really identify with Martha too, and am pleased to find a way of honouring her, and what she represents.

Hi Rupert

I know that in the sermon, you encouraged us not just to take in the Martha and Mary info – or we’d be short changed. At the same time, having the ‘either – or’ taken away from this story, and replaced with ‘both – and’ was one of the most helpful things I’ve heard in a long time. Most of us are ‘Marthas’, hoping at times to be ‘Marys’, but to see it more as a rhythm working between the two allows us to accept the positives of both.

A lot of what you are speaking about in your ‘part 1′ sections is familiar to those who’ve been on the counselling courses – but it’s also great to hear the key elements turned back round into sermons. We all need reminding to come back to the deeper themes and questions in our lives – and to find God there when we do. Thanks for doing so in a way which encourages us in.
