The Lutheran Light“ As the Body of Christ, St. Mary’s Evangelical Lutheran Church is called by the Father through the

Holy Spirit to worship God and witness to others.”Vol. 32 No. 03, March 2010

The Pastor’s Prism

“Opinion or Conviction?”

One of the qualities of our humanityis that of being fickle. Being ficklemeans we are constantly changingbetween one opinion and another, oftendepending on how it will benefit us atthe moment. For example, PresidentObama was greatly supported by manya year ago but now, only a year later,many have turned against him, because,allegedly, he has not done enough toaddress the unemployment and financialwoes of our country. Could it be that weAmericans are fickle?

Another example, there are peoplewho seem chronically unwilling tomake decisions, seemingly indecisive,and say whatever decision is madedoesn’t matter. Yet when someone elsemakes the decision for them they getupset and blame the one who made thedecision when things don’t go theirway!

Fickleness seems to arise in partfrom self-centered attitudes that areconstantly seeking affirmation andapproval of others, and/or perhaps justout of ego centralism, as though theywere saying, “If the thing (in question)will make me happy or do me somegood, I’m for it!”

It takes wisdom to know when tochange our mind and when to hold tothat which we believe to be true. Thisis seen in the Passion account of JesusChrist, which we reflect uponparticularly on Good Friday. Thepeople were all for Jesus when Heentered Jerusalem as they welcomedHim as a future king with palmbranches and acclamations (John 12:12-14). Just a few days later after Jesuswas arrested, they denounced Him as acriminal, even calling for Hiscrucifixion (John 18:40; 19:6, 12, 15).

In the Passion of Jesus there wasenough fickleness to go around from thecrowds, from Pilate, and even the

disciples as they abandoned Him!Pilate originally had wanted to set Jesusfree, but because of his fear of unrestamong those he governed, he decided toyield to the crowds demand and haveHim crucified (John 19:1-16). Peterwho was so willing to die with Jesus(John13:37) denied Him three times(John 18:17, 25, 27). All the disciplesfled when Jesus was arrested (Matthew26:56).

At the same time we know there arethose who have lived out theirconvictions, holding on to those corebeliefs/convictions that were a part oftheir lives. Certainly this is exemplifiedin Jesus Christ as He lived among us inspite of the adversities He faced. Wesee similar steadfastness of convictionin Jesus’ followers like Paul, Peter, andthe other disciples, who though theywavered at times, ultimately lived theirconvictions, even dying for what theybelieved to be true.

The temptation for us humans is tohave opinions about everything elsewhile having few convictions, includingthose about our relationship with God.In this age of individuality and egocentralism our opinions are more oftenbased on what something or someonewill do for us at the moment. We arefickle.

During Lent we are reminded thatChrist’s conviction to go to the cross forus demonstrated God’s conviction thatwe humans should be spared from theravages of our sin, including our egocentralism. We can be grateful thatGod is not fickle in His judgment aboutthe human condition but has called us toknow redemption by living out withconviction that which we have beentaught from His Word and believe byfaith.

That is why the Creeds are soimportant to us Christians. Against ourfickle nature, the Creeds remain thecore of Christian belief for they state

the convictions of Christians across theages who have distilled from God’sWord the essence of their faith, whichwe make our own. The Creeds reveal tous Who God is as Creator, Redeemer,and Sanctifier, while at the same timetelling us who we are and how we are tolive out our convictions. It is nowonder that Luther recommendedwe use of the Apostles’ Creed at thebeginning and end of each day as ameans for staying focused on the coreof beliefs that have come down to us.The Creeds are Christian convictions,not opinions.

Praying the Creed twice each daycould become a part of our Lentendevotion if we are not already doing it.Such an approach might help us inliving out our humanity as children ofGod, and help free us from our egocentralism of our fickleness in mattersof faith.

+ “Pr. Lee”

Our heavenly Father, weacknowledge our ficklenesstowards serving You. We confessthat we too often find ourselveswilling to give our opinions without

stopping to reflect aboutour convictions. Forgiveus and free us so that wemight live out thoseconvictions which havebeen distilled from theHoly Scriptures into the

Creeds, so that You may receive allthe glory. We pray that You wouldhelp us to live less for ourselvesand more for others in the Spiritwith Jesus Christ. AMEN

From Our Missionaries

Dear Friends of St. Mary’sIn these days of email and abstract communication

we wanted to send you an actual handwritten note tosay thank you. The vicissitudes of work normallyrequire us to use mass mailings to our sponsors, butthey are so impersonal.

So Thank you, for your kind sponsorship.Certainly ELCA Global Mission needs your gifts tokeep us here, but your gifts are also important to us, areal sign that you are with us in this journey.

Life in Tanzania and our work here is hard todescribe in a note, or even a book. We have learned somuch since we have been here. We have seen God’swork blossom in the hands of many of our partners andthe work of our missionaries. We have also seenproblems and situations of intractability that make oneweep. Learning indeed.

We look forward to one day visiting you andsharing some of our experiences and the work of yourchurch.

We will be home this summer to visit all oursponsors and we hope you will have a place for usprobably in June or August. We will be in touch to try

to set up a time.In the meantime, may God bless you and your ministry

with every good gift.Wishing you Peace in The LordAmani na Bwana iwe ningi.Bob & JMe Lowden
