#Didache

[apocrypals]

New episode, old format, lots of Sword Talk

[dreaminginthedeepsouth]

You shall not turn away the needy, but shall share everything with your brother, and shall not say that it is your own, for if you are sharers in the imperishable, how much more in the things which perish?

οὐκ ἀποστραφήσῃ τὸν ἐνδεόμενον, συγκοινωνήσεις δὲ πάντα τῷ ἀδελφῷ σοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐρεῖς ἴδια εἶναι· εἰ γὰρ ἐν τῷ ἀθανάτῳ κοινωνοί ἐστε, πόσῳ μᾶλλον ἐν τοῖς θνητοῖς;

— Didache or The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles (Διδαχὴ Κυρίου διὰ τῶν δώδεκα ἀποστόλων τοῖς ἔθνεσιν) (ca 120-170 CE). The Didache is of equal antiquity with the earliest texts later assembled into the New Testament, of which early church fathers considered it a part. It provides an excellent glimpse into the thinking of the leaders of the early church, and it directly contradicts the "prosperity gospel" of modern American white Evangelicals on virtually every issue.

The Church Door, by John Bagnold Burgess, oil painting, 1889.

Do not be one who reaches out to receive, but draws them back from giving. If you acquire something with your hands, give it as a ransom for your sins. Do not doubt whether to give, nor grumble while giving. For you should recognize the good paymaster of the reward. Do not shun a person in need, but share all things with your brother, and do not say that anything is your own. For if you are partners in what is immortal, how much more in what is mortal?

- The Didache, or The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles (4:5-8)

[azspot]

But the way of death is this: First of all, it is evil and completely cursed; murders, adulteries, lusts, sexual immoralities, thefts, idolatries, magic arts, sorceries, robberies, false testimonies, hypocrisies, duplicity, deceit, pride, malice, stubbornness, greed, abusive language, jealousy, audacity, arrogance, boastfulness. It is the way of persecutors of good people, of those who hate truth, love a lie… have no mercy for the poor, do not work on behalf of the oppressed, do not know the one who made them, are murderers of children, corrupters of God’s creation, who turn away from someone in need, who oppress the afflicted, are advocates of the wealthy, lawless judges of the poor, utterly sinful. May you be delivered, children, from all these things!

Jesus is Our Sabbath

Thesis: Jesus is our Sabbath... a response to those who insist that only the Sabbath day is only legitimate day for worship. The Ten Commandments in relationship the Sabbath and the New Covenant in relationship to the Covenant of Noah for the Nations.

Reprint from Scholars Corner Jesus is our Sabbath, our Day of Rest.  He is the fulfillment of the Law. For he said, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” Matthew 5:17 (ESV)  Therefore it says: “It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness,…

JANUARY 3

Psalm 98

A psalm.

1 Sing to the Lord a new song,

    for he has done marvelous things;

his right hand and his holy arm

    have worked salvation for him.

2 The Lord has made his salvation known

    and revealed his righteousness to the nations.

3 He has remembered his love

    and his faithfulness to Israel;

all the ends of the earth have seen

    the salvation of our God.

What can you do today to help someone experience more of God's love?

We sing to the Lord a new song for His mighty deeds on our lives.

Today's didache reading is relevantly geared to my husband who is not a practicing catholic. He came from UCCP and it is quite difficult for him to adjust to my ways. But with God's incredible ways, he is learning everything starting from the rosary and Divine Mercy to having completed the 9 days of the Misa de Gallo. I am truly proud of him for bearing with what I want and transitioning to my ways in the Catholic church.

To be honest, we still have a lot of things to learn together in worshiping and in our own small ways.

The didache reading today speaks about how we build ourselves so that other people can see Jesus in us. The kind, gentle, giving and merciful God of all. It is a hard thing to emmulate Christ in our everyday life, challenging even. But what makes it great is that we are all a work in progress. When we want to follow Christ, we should be patient with ourselves, patient with the journey of transforming ourselves, of making ways to encounter Christ in our day to day lives. Above all, to always be a blessing to someone today. We have to go back to your life's purpose. What on earth are you here for?

I am not near perfect but I am trying my best to be a blessing to someone not just today but everyday. To have the strength to deliver my life's purpose; to serve.

Father, we love you because You first loved us. May we radiate Your love to those around us. Help us become better bearers of your image.

Amen!

The Prayer Jesus Taught: ”Give us this day, our daily bread” 

On March 12, 2023, Rev. Dr. Tim Hart-Andersen, the Senior Pastor at Minneapolis’ Westminster Presbyterian Church, delivered the third of his five sermons on different passages of the Lord’s Prayer.[1] This sermon was on a portion of the third sentence (in bold) of that Prayer: “Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.…

Lessons from Church History: The Didache

Lessons from Church History: The Didache

By: Michelle Johnson | July 11, 2022 Church history – do those two words interest or bore you? Personally, I have traversed that pendulum. The thought of books with dates, names – many of which were difficult to pronounce or remember, places I couldn’t locate on a map, and customs I didn’t understand, was overwhelming at best. However, I now find myself completely interested, to the point of…

Myth: People in the past did not care about preserving knowledge for future generations

Fact: It's... not really much of a priority for us, either

"But the Way of Death is this: First of all, it is wicked and full of cursing, murders, adulteries, lusts, fornications, thefts, idolatries, witchcrafts, charms, robberies, false witness, hypocrisies, a double heart, fraud, pride, malice, stubbornness, covetousness, foul speech, jealousy, impudence, haughtiness, boastfulness." <- girls night
