WHO’S GOT YOUR BACK?

“My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father

— Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.” 1 John 2:1 I’m sure all of us have had times when we have felt alone. Even in a crowded room, we can feel the sense that we are all alone, that no one really knows us, no one really cares. While we may feel this way at times, even profoundly, nothing could be further from the truth! In fact, the story of the Scriptures is just the opposite, that we have a God who, in spite of our sin, relentlessly comes after us to redeem us and call us back the relationship we were always supposed to have with Him and with one another. Often you’ll hear the phrase, “who’s got your back?” Here is an answer to that question that will hopefully encourage you! The Father has your back! Psalm 139 is a Psalm full of promises that God made us, He knows us, He loves us and that He is with us! Just listen to some of these verses: “You have searched me, LORD, and you know me.” Verse 1; “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Verses 13-14; “How pre-cious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand…” He knows you, He made you, your Heavenly Father’s got your back! The Son of God has your back! Jesus came to redeem you, not to condemn you. John 3:16-17 says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” The purpose of Jesus coming was to give His life for you and me so that we could be forgiven, so that we can be right with Him. God’s desire is for us not to sin, of course, but if and when we do, Jesus is there to intercede with the Father that He paid for our sin. This does not give us permission to keep on sinning, but a reminder that God is on our side, Jesus has your back!

The Holy Spirit has your back! Jesus promised that when He left, He would not leave us alone. In John 14:26-27, Jesus speaks to His disciples, “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” The Holy Spirit is with us and in us to remind us we are not alone, we have access to God’s power and He will never leave us! The Holy Spirit has your back! Finally, the Church, The Body of Christ has your back! This is our task as the body of Christ, to walk with each other during good times and difficult times! I am so blessed by the way people at Christ The King reach out, especially to those who are hurting. May we continue to “rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep” Romans 12:15 When the world sees that we have each other’s back, they will know that we are disci-ples and followers of Jesus! Blessings, P. Mark

Dear Friends in Christ, Did you know that in 1990, the U.S. Congress established the first week of October as Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW)? This is a wonderful opportunity for: individuals, communities, and churches to partner with others to raise awareness about mental illness. NAMI and FaithNet have put together a toolkit of resources available at www.nami.org/miaw filled with educational opportunities that can help us erase the stigma of mental illness in our faith communities. Another resource I have found to be helpful is called The Gentle Bible. It was developed by the Mental Health Chaplaincy in Washington State hospital. It contains a selection of readings adapted from the Bible, one for each day of the year, that encourage healing and community. Each month's readings have a common theme: Hope, Companionship, Community, Comfort, Healing, Wellness, Teachings of Jesus, God's Care, Wisdom, Wholeness, Psalms, and the Assurance of God's love. The Gentle Bible can be found on the Mental Health Chaplain website at www.mentalhealthchaplain.org I think you can even download this re-source. There are also other articles and resources on this website includ-ing Chaplain Craig Rennebohm's book, Souls in the Hands of a Tender God, co-authored with David Paul. These and many more resources are available for anyone who desires useful resources to learn more about mental illness, and how we can take action to address this issue and erase it’s stigma. As we embark upon our new fall programs at Christ The King and the start of Mental Illness Awareness Week, take a few moments to prayerfully consider how we individually and as a faith community would answer these questions. Can you recognize the symptoms of mental illness in a person?

* What would you do if you identified those symptoms in someone

at Christ The King? * Does the larger Fallbrook community have or need to develop a mental health ministry? * How can we, the members of Christ The King be “more” welcom-

ing to persons with a mental illness in this church and to the community at large?

* How can we, the members of Christ The King provide a nurturing community where the spiritual needs of those living with a mental illness can be met?


(Continued on Page 4)

* Are there persons in our congregation who have a passion for or would desire to take a leadership role in developing a ministry to those in this community who suffer from mental illness?

* Does Fallbrook and the surrounding communities have resources available for referrals and possible collaborative efforts to educate about mental illness?

Blessed to be a blessing, Your brother from another mother, Pastor Kenneth

What is Reformation Sunday All About? Sunday, October 28th

Most Protestant Christians observe Reformation Day in honor of Martin Luther and other Christians who removed false doctrine and destruc-tive practices from the Christian church. Because the Roman Catholic Church was desperate to raise money to complete St. Peter's in Rome during the Middle Ages, many clergy used fear as a tool to obtain money from poor and unsophisticated people. They told the people that they had to pay money to the church so that their sins and the sins of their families might be forgiven. The people bought pieces of paper called pardons and indulgences from the church so that they could believe that they would go to heaven when they died. Luther was deeply disturbed by these and other abuses in the church. At the same time he was aware of his own sins and imperfections, and he tried very hard to make himself into a person that he thought God would like. The harder he tried, the worse he felt. He thought he was grow-ing farther and farther away from God, and that it was becoming impossible for God to like him at all. In despair, he began a deep study of the Bible, especially the letters in the New Testament that were written by Paul, most of all the letter to the Romans, and he began to understand what Paul had told the early Christians over a thousand years before. In his preaching and writing, Luther began to emphasize two main points: justification by faith and the priesthood of all believers. Justification by faith means that Christians can never earn God's love or forgiveness. All that Christians must do is to accept God as God, and God will love and forgive and cherish them. The priesthood of all believers means that every Christian has his or her own personal relationship with God, reading the Bible and worship-ing in his or her own language, and praying directly to God without any-one's going in between. So Protestant Christians give thanks to God on this day for the opportunity to lead lives of faith, instead of lives of fear. Reformation Day is observed on the last Sunday of October.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Mark Your Calendars For…


All of my life I have sup-ported different missionaries, heard their stories, prayed for them, even sent them a check now and then. But I secretly thanked God that He didn’t want to send me!! After all, I didn’t have THOSE gifts and tal-ents that they had…you know, lin-guistic abilities, survivor instincts, able to eat strange foods, no fear of bugs and snakes, and apparently, no need for real American bathrooms!! Well, this year God decided to send me, anyway, to AFRICA, of all places! I argued with Him, gave Him all the real reasons I could not possibly go, heard the advice of my Christian friends — are you crazy??— and God began to speak in my heart, “Toni, I want you to go, I will be with you and I want to show you the reality of your life verse, Jeremiah 33:3. Somehow, God flooded my heart with His view of Kenya and that nation’s dearly-loved people! The country was far different than I expected, lush and green, beautiful smiles on the faces of its people, both old and young, and their joyful dependence upon Jesus for their very being.

But I also saw the dire pov-erty, sickness, hunger, and injustice that these people endure on a daily basis. I kept thinking “we could fix this, we could change this, we could help them more”! Then I began to ask God, “why do we have so much, why do they have so little”? It’s not right! And surely there is much more we can do for them in the name of Jesus. BUT the im-portant thing I learned was that God has given them a greater gift than material things. He has given them the gift of faith! Everyone I met told me how much they loved God. The children sing about Him all the time — every morning they begin the day singing, “Good Morning, Father.” He is such a natural part of their day-to-day lives that it is a beautiful inspiration for us to have that same kind of relationship with our Heavenly Father! So I would just say if God begins to speak to YOU about be-ing one of His missionaries, do not hesitate! Yes, God will break your heart but then He will fill it up to overflowing with His Love. He will make your face shine brightly with a reflection of Himself, and strengthen your hands and feet to do His Will in this world. Praise the Name of the Lord!

THE MOST UNLIKELY MISSIONARY!
