Good morning and welcome! We are delighted you have joined us to wor-ship the Lord. God is incredible. He deserves far more than we could ever of-fer him, but as He says in His Word, “Give me your heart.” He loves us deeply and completely. When you feel that way about someone, nothing matters more than that your love is returned. He longs for our love; why not give your heart to Him this morning? If you already have, renew your gift to Him.

The Holy Spirit is present this morning and He is waiting to bless each of us. He knows what we need. Let Him lift your heart heavenward as you enjoy being in the presence of the Lord this morning. Blessings!

BY DWIGHT K. NELSON

THE FOURTH WATCH BLOG

A friend of mine bought a new Tesla and took me for a spin this week. "Spin," did you say? Ac-

tually the more appropriate, accurate word is "G-force." I wasn't prepared for this new electric car's phenomenal acceleration. He (the owner) waited to get a clear straight stretch of road—and then without warning slammed the "pedal to the metal." In that split second my stomach was pinned to my spine! No kidding. We're talking—accelerate! One G is the force of earth's gravity. "At 5 Gs, a driver experiences a force equal to five times his weight. For in-stance, during a 5-G turn, there are 60 to 70 pounds of force pulling his head to the side" (www.science.howstuffworks.com/science-vs-myth/everyday-myths/question633.htm). We must have been at 100 Gs. Just kidding.

But when he pulled off the road so I could drive, I decided "pedal to the metal" is the motto of the day! His nervous laugh a few seconds later indicated I had found the sweet spot as we flew back onto the highway. I've never ridden in a car with so rapid an acceleration. What a feeling! No sound to the engine—nothing but the quiet whir of an electric motor with no gears to shift through—just continuous,

pure acceleration.Kind of like the rather

stunning acceleration we've been witnesses to these last few weeks. Ac-celeration of headlines, of trends, of reversals, of sudden swerves to the right, to the left, to the who knows where. Somebody clearly has his "pedal to the metal."

"'But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short'" (Revelation 12:12).

How many spiritual G-forces are wrapped up in that terse declaration? Dark, evil acceleration.

"While people are saying, 'Peace and safety,' destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape" (1 Thessalonians 5:3).

Just a friendly reminder that life as we know it long ago fled the scene. What we're left with is what we're living right now. Which means you and I do well to live with an attitude of continual expec-tation. Our friend Noah couldn't offer the

scoffers a calendar of endgame moves. All he had was the word of God echoing in his soul. And an accelerating sense in his gut that life as they knew it was nearing its end. With little warning. Catastrophi-cally.

"But don't be afraid" is the quiet as-surance of the Christ who walks ahead of His followers, who leads the acceler-ating way of His friends. "'When all this starts to happen, up on your feet. Stand tall with your heads high. Help is on the way!'" (Luke 21:28 Message)

Help—not just for the endgame—but

help for the G-forces of life that pin us to uncertainty. Given the acceleration of late, every day is a good day to pull off to the side of the road with Him: "When every other voice is hushed, and in qui-etness we wait before Him, the silence of the soul makes more distinct the voice of God. He bids us, 'Be still, and know that I am God.' Psalm 46:10" (Desire of Ages 363).

EDITORIAL

We’re all familiar with the im-portance of strengthening our heart and lungs by briskly

walking, or by some other aerobic ac-tivity; however, improving our flexibility is an essential, yet often overlooked health-related component of fitness. Here are 8 reasons from the American Council on Exercise why you should be stretching on a regular basis:

1. Improved ability to counteract tense, tight muscles—

As a result of poor posture, repetitive movement patterns, improper body mechanics, and spending long periods of time seated, muscles in the body can become chronically tense, tight and con-tracted, causing them to become less strong and supple. Regular stretching helps to improve overall function by ensuring that the body can more effec-tively respond to the stresses imposed by various types of movement and activity.

2. Reduced pain and stiffness—Excessive muscular tension can in-

crease discomfort throughout the body. However, studies have shown that regularly

stretching can help to de-c r e a s e stif fness, r e d u c e pain levels (especially in individuals with chronic neck or low-back pain), and may even reduce the frequency and severity of muscle cramps.

3. Enhanced range of motion, agil ity, speed, strength, posture—

Various types of stretching can help to enhance unre-stricted movement of the major joints of the body, including key areas that are designed to be mobile, such as the hips and shoulders. Stretching the

muscles of the lower back, chest and shoulders can help keep the spine in better alignment and improve overall posture by relieving aches and pains. With reduced pain, there is a reduced desire to hunch or slouch.

4. Minimized wear and tear on joints—When muscles become chronically

tight and tense, opposing muscles become weakened, producing unnec-essary wear and tear on various joints and structures within the body. Regular stretching helps to ensure the muscles on each side of a joint maintain an equal degree of pull so that the joint is able to move freely and efficiently in all direc-

tions, allowing for optimal movement and less stress on the body.

5. May reduce risk of injury—

Although the evidence is not

d e f i n i t i v e , there are

s o m e

promising findings regarding the role that stretching may play in helping to reduce the risk for injury. Dynamic stretches such as shoulder rolls and high-knee stepping are often used as part of a warm-up to help prepare the body for the movements that are to come. As a result, stretching is often considered an important part of injury prevention, as cold muscles and tendons in the body

have a greater likelihood of rupture, strain or sprain. Static stretching (a stretch is held) should only be done when muscles are already warmed up.

6. Improved heart and lung function, and stamina—

Regular stretching exercises can help to reduce blood pressure, heart rate and breathing rate, counteracting the body’s physiological responses to stress and muscular tension. They can help to im-prove blood flow and circulation, thereby allowing for the enhanced transpor-tation of oxygen and nutrient-rich blood throughout the body.

7. Increased optimistic outlook and decreased stress—

Chronic stress can produce a number of undesirable responses in the body, including increased feelings of anxiety, fatigue and tension. Regularly stretching has been shown to reduce mental tension and, when combined with mindful breathing techniques, may also help to decrease anxiety and depression.

8. Improved quality of life—Although there are physiological

changes that occur as we grow older, regularly stretching and performing range-of-motion exercises can improve flexibility at any age, helping to increase longevity and enhance overall quality of life.

One of the goals of the fitness classes offered by the PMC Health Ministry team in the Beaty Pool (H2OFit) and Lamson Hall Health Club (ToBoFit) is to improve flexibility. If you’d like to learn how to do effective stretching, please join us for

these classes!

An appropriate name today for a keeper of swans may well be swanmaster, but a keeper

of sheep is, of course, a shepherd. Worship music today relates both to a swan (9:00 service) and to sheep (11:45). Many musical settings about the Good Shepherd exist, sometimes using text from Psalm 23 that has been cre-atively rendered using poetic metrical

patterns. The Good Shepherd protects and provides for His sheep. He seeks for them to abide in His care. Of swans, one article comments, "Swans are highly protective of their nests." This trait of protection can be both vigorous and effective. Whether as Swanmaster or as Good Shepherd, God today provides constant watchcare for His children. He wills us to be, and remain, in Him.

Some of us have had the privilege of par-ticipating in short-term mission projects. Consider the newly-baptized Stephen. Wanting an adventure with God, he joined a mission team to the Philippines. They rode to a local prison with 6 overcrowd-ed cell blocks. Then the lead pastor said, “Jim, you are going to preach to that cell block and, Stephen, over there . . . Stephen had never preached a day in his life. But he said a quick prayer, and with Bible in hand preached to nearly 30 prisoners. It wasn’t long after that that he began to prepare to be a minister himself. Whom God calls, He enables. He will enable you to be faithful in all ways!
