Adam and Eve
Worship Service: Children & Adult - 18 Jul, 2010
The fallout of eating forbidden fruit (Gen. 3:1-19; Is. 59:2; AC 223-224) Since the Lord's face is mercy, peace, and everything good, it is clear that He never looks at anyone except with mercy and never turns His face from anyone. It is we, when we are wrapped up in evil, who turn our faces away. As the Lord said through Isaiah: Your offenses are what cause a separation between you and your God: and your sins hide His face from you. (Isaiah 59:2) Likewise it says here that they hid themselves from Jehovah's face because they were naked. Mercy, peace and all that is good - Jehovah's face - are what give rise to the inner call in the case of those who have perception (and those who have conscience, too, but in a different way). The qualities always operate in a compassionate manner, but the way we receive them depends on our state. (Heavenly Secrets 223-224, New Century Edition) | By Andrew M.T. Dibb, Ivyland New Church, PA

Part 4-Making a Choice - Fire From Heaven
Worship Service: Children & Adult - 2 May, 2010
Which choice – the Lord or selfishness – brings genuine love and lasting happiness? Part Four of Living Courageously – the Story of Elijah (1 Kings 18:1-2, 18-46; Matthew 6:24; TCR 399, 403) Correspondences in the story: Elijah: the Lord as to the Word, esp. the literal sense. Baal: falsity rooted in evil (specifically the loves of self and the world). Prophets: teachers, or the teachings themselves. A Mountain: an elevated, interior state of mind, esp. one of love or the heart. Carmel: lit, a fruitful place, known for its vineyards; thus the spiritual person. An Altar: worship (thus life). A Bull, lit, a bullock or an ox: good will or charity in outward, natural life. Wood: good works Stone: truth as knowledge or information. Water: the truth of faith. Fire: love. | By Thomas Rose, Ivyland New Church, PA
