Main computer is back up and running. Had communion yesterda, and today this is in the readings.

Psalm 119

73Your hands have made and fashioned me;

give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.

The implication is that what is created should be used for godd, for it is of God. The second abstract refers directly to communion, for in this we remember the death of Jesus. The bread and blood are symbols of this, but the remebreance binds us to him. This ain’t an easy passage for reformed theologians — it is easier for the Catholic. But the need for one sight — on G_d — is challenvign for us all.

1 Corinthians 10

14Therefore, my dear friends, flee from the worship of idols. 15I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ? 17Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. 18Consider the people of Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar? 19What do I imply then? That food sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons. 21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. 22Or are we provoking the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

Today is the beginning of the work week. Deliver us form evil, and keep our eyes upon you.
