       Vance Havner once rightly said,"We are not going to move this world by criticism of it nor conformity to it, but by combustion within it of lives ignited by the Spirit of God."

There is a rare genetic disease that if you have it you can feel no pain. 

At first glance that seems advantageous.

 At second glance, one realizes that not feeling pain really is a pain for it tells us that something is wrong. 

People with this disease don’t know that they are bleeding to death or wandering around with a severely broken bone.  Their eye may be swollen and they may have an awful looking bump on their forehead but without a mirror or someone telling them, they just don’t know.

Physical pain.  If you are not aware when something hurts, you don’t do anything about it so it just gets worse, not better.

Spiritual pain.  If you are spiritually wounded, you also may not be aware of it and therefore you don’t do anything about it so it just gets worse, not better.

       Spiritual awareness is obviously what I am talking about.  And it is an affliction if one reaches a point where they do not feel the emptiness and pain of the absence of their living God.

       In The Last Days Newsletter, Leonard Ravenhill tells about a group of tourists visiting a picturesque village who walked by an old man sitting beside a fence. In a rather patronizing way, one tourist asked, "Were any great men born in this village?" The old man replied, "Nope, only babies."

       So how to improve your spiritual awareness.  How to sharpen your spiritual sensitivity.  How to mature.

         Fall in love with people. 

       Forgive people. 

       Kill prejudice. 

       Enliven yours sense of compassion. 

       What am I talking about?  Am I saying that one way to feel closer to God is to improve your relationship with people

       Yes!

       When you are angry with your fellowman it blocks your desire to communicate with God.  He forgives you but you cannot forgive yourself if you actually think about it...and that creates a shrinking of the soul. 

       But...and it is a big but...be patient as you apply these basic Christian principles for spiritual maturity. 

       Be content with baby steps rather than require giant steps.  Otherwise you will suffer from spiritual fatigue because you wanted it to happen all at once.

       For some it does work out that way.  That marvelous all in a moment transformation you have heard of...but for most it is a slow steady growth sometimes over years rather than months. 

       Be patient.

       And when we grow we will experience spiritual growing pains.  Be patient.  Be prepared for it if you are like many.  But spiritual awareness sought is spiritual awareness found.

       Grow closer to God by leading others toward a closer relationship with God.  In such selflessness a special gift of the spirit seems to arise.  The gift of otherness comes back upon itself.

       What am I talking about?  I am talking about journeys...such as the disciples who kept following Jesus long after He was going. 

       Of shepherds who left their very real sheep on the side of a hill to follow a very real message from very real angels to the foot of a manger where lay a very real child.

       I'm talking about a promised land "In my father's house are many mansions."

       I'm talking about giving more width and depth to the bridge that links us with heaven.

       I'm talking about enhancing the relationship with the the God "in who we live, and move and have our being." (Paul)

       I'm talking about making God near and precious to the meaning of every day.

       I'm talking about that which transcends any and all earth bound sickness for an eternal health that transcends time and space.

       I'm talking about you and me praying for each other even though we have never met each other...as united through the brotherhood of being brothers and sisters in Christ...we establish a relationship that knocks on heaven's door and shouts and sings to the glory of our Almighty God.

       The great violinist, Nicolo Paganini, willed his marvelous violin to Genoa -- the city of his birth -- but only on condition that the instrument never be played upon. It was an unfortunate condition, for it is a peculiarity of wood that as long as it is used and handled, it shows little wear. As soon as it is discarded, it begins to decay.

The exquisite, mellow-toned violin has become worm-eaten in its beautiful case, valueless except as a relic. The moldering instrument is a reminder that a life withdrawn from all service to others loses its meaning.

       And so it is when a soul is denied...and the pain of such a denial to the total man or woman reaches a point where it is no longer felt...and the life withdrawn suffers the spiritual diseases such withdrawals cause.

               A new quote below from Rev. Wyrick's 9th book THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN (read the rave reviews below the quote)

Lincoln had seen a house of cards about to fall and realized how it could establish a precedent that would truly destroy what the Founding Fathers had created. 

       Divided by two, in short time it might well have become a division of three. 

       The northeast, once not sure if it even wanted to be part of the original thirteen colonies, might then have pulled out. 

       A few years down the road, some state in the Confederacy, unhappy with the new uniting, might have done the same.  Bad habits come easily and are slow to leave.


       "Positive, powerful utterances...skillfully enhancing our understanding and appreciation of Lincoln while revealing the Divine source of his strength."

       Lt. Colonel C.A. Olsen (Ret.) Asbury College (Professor Ret.)

       "The Spiritual Abraham Lincoln is an extremely well written book that investigates what might be termed the spiritual side of President Lincoln. It's both scholarly and very readable. I came away impressed at Mr. Wyrick's portrayal of the President and with an altered and enlarged vision of the man:'

       William Hoffman, Award winning fiction writer; author of Blood and Guile, and Wild Thorn

       "Wyrick has authored a wonderful examination of the spirituality of one of American history's most devoutly religious leaders...a pleasant and readable book that has a rich depth of information."

              Maynard Pittendreigh Presbyterian minister

        "When it comes to invoking religion in support of any of their decisions, politicians need to sit at the feet of Abraham Lincoln. Reinhold Niebuhr once called him 'America's greatest theologian.' Why so great? Because he invariably distinguished between human works and the works of the Almighty. As Wyrick says, 'He wore the mantle of humility easily: because he was more impressed with what God was doing in the world than with what he, president of the United States in the midst of an awful crisis, was doing. That is why in his last major speech he distinguished between both human causes in the Civil War and the Almighty's 'own purposes.' Lincoln would have agreed that it is better to leave God-talk out of politics than to decorate human proposals with divinity. This is a book for our American time. Through his careful study of Lincoln's career, Wyrick compels us to remember that piety belongs in politics only when piety transcends politics."

       Dr. Donald W. Shriver

       Emeritus professor at Union Theological Seminary in New York. Author of An Ethic for Enemies: Forgiveness in Politics

        "V. Neil Wyrick's fine work allows the reader to appreciate Abraham Lincoln's Christian commitment and his prophetic role in American history. Should have a wide readership."

       James H. Smylie Professor of Church History (Ret.) Union Theological Seminary, Richmond, Virginia

       "Neil Wyrick's The Spiritual Abraham Lincoln should be read by anyone attempting to understand the man who was probably the most complex person to ever hold the office of president of the United States. Dr. Wyrick is intent on demonstrating that the spirituality so often expressed in Lincoln's writings and speeches was not merely lip service to a Deity, but rather expressions of a profound faith in a real God. It was this faith that provided the wisdom, compassion, insight and sometimes steel that Lincoln would need in full measure as he led the United States through the Civil War. Dr. Wyrick's clear and unpretentious style of presentation is very much in keeping with the character ofhis subject, and in so doing, Wyrick makes his point very well that Lincoln, his beliefs, and the faith that formed them, are as relevant to a troubled America in 2004 as they were in 1863."

       Daniel Allen Butler, author of "Unsinkable"; The Full Story of the RMS Titanic, The Lusitania and The Age o f Cunard

How can we keep our faith from being a weak and fruitless thing?  How can we not be foolish little men and women groveling in the dark shadows of overeager egos. 

          Well, first we must do more than just pray.  We must believe in our own prayers.

Anxiety out of proportion makes us become like a centipede trying to put his best foot forward.

++++++++++++++++++

        It's an old joke, I went to the doctor and I said, “Doc, when I do this, it hurts.” And the doctor said, “Then don't do that.”

++++++++++++++++++

        How many things have you been anxious about that were things which you knew before you got into them were probably going to create some problems for you?  And if you asked your doctor, or your minister, or common sense and your God, all of them would have said, “Don’t do that.”

++++++++++++++++++++

        To buy into the community of accountability we have to realize that like bikers we are divided into two categories.  Those who have fallen and those who will fall for anything. None of us are perfect.

A QUOTE FROM THOUGHTS POSTED ON MY OTHER BLOG WYRICK'S WRITINGS ENTITLED


       Two stores faced each other across a very busy street.  Their owners were in constant competition with each other.  One day, the owner of one store put out a sign that read – If you want it, we have it!

Almost immediately the other owner put out a sign –If we don’t have it, you don’t need it!


A QUOTE FROM THOUGHTS POSTED ON MY OTHER BLOG WYRICK'S WRITINGS ENTITLED

WHO ARE YOU?

NO…WHOSE ARE YOU?

       Who are you?  Whose are you?

You influence and are influenced according to the answer you give.     

Are you are the flavor of the month because you are determined to be like everyone else no matter what?  If so, consider being more independent in our thinking and actions...because God wants you to grow up.

It may be easier being someone's shadow but wouldn't you really rather be a sun. 
 

       QUOTE FROM THOUGHTS  POSTED ON WYRICK'S WRITINGS ENTITLED "Who Are You?  Whose Are You?"

       This is an old quote, and a romantic one as well but, nevertheless, can anyone say of you, “I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.

            QUOTE FROM THOUGHT PIECE POSTED ON WYRICK'S WRITINGS ENTITLED

" WHEN A NATION STRAYS TOO FAR FROM BEING MORAL IT IS WELL ON IT'S WAY TO BECOMING A MESS

        James 4:17

To him therefore who knows to do good, and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin.

        Someone once said: “A belief is what you hold, a conviction is what holds you!”

        So what holds you, constructs you, leads you with a push when needed?

       Quotes POSTED ON WYRICK'S WRITING ENTITLED WHO ARE YOU?

NO…WHOSE ARE YOU?

        In a Peanuts cartoon strip Peppermint Patty is shown talking to Charlie Brown.

“Guess what, Chuck? It’s the first day of school and I got sent to the principal’s office.

And it’s your fault!”

Charlie Brown responds, “My fault? How could it be my fault? Why do you say everything is my fault?”

To which she declares, “You’re my friend, aren’t you, Chuck? You should have been a better influence on me.”

In the comics, it’s funny… but in real life it’s much more complicated.

THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF A HAPPY COMPLAINER

"When she sings it is like listening to an angel – or do you think, when she sings I want to throw up."

"When he preaches I could listen to him forever - or, when he preaches on eternity he takes it literally."

"I watched the sunrise yesterday, it was so beautiful - or, I watched it also, it blinded me the last five miles before I finally got to work." 

Professional complainers are consistent.  They’re unhappy with a host of things.

       They fail to notice that life is so beautiful that it needs progress reports, not failure essays.

        Sure there are bad moments and weak people and sin and mistakes, but from the cradle to the grave, life is a long, long journey. 

       It is also an education. 

       It is also a challenge. 

       Its beginning is a miracle.

        Its end a mystery.

        And the man of faith says it is God.

       I suppose one of the reasons all of us complain at least sometimes is that it makes one feel important.

        After all, we feel we have given great thought to something and our conclusion is that if someone else is doing less and thinking differently, then we must be doing more and thinking clearer.

       And yet the strange, wonderful, logical truth is that we never really become important until being important really doesn’t matter anymore. 

       Would you be really important?

        Then be so busy praising God you have no energy left to complain about your fellowman.  And sometimes, be able to admit that you are wrong

I remember a man sitting in front of me one day who described himself as a person no longer able to enjoy life. 

       “At one time,” he related “I loved music and reading and people.  Now I don’t even love myself.  One day I realized that I did nothing but complain about everything.  However, by the time I realized it and admitted it, it was too late.  The habit was ingrained.”     We talked about his problem and he said that he would pray about it and try to change.  Not long thereafter he moved to another city.  I don’t know whether he has found new avenues to complain about.  I hope not. 

       I hope he has prayed for a good digestion system and for things worthy to digest. 

I hope he has prayed for a healthy mind that keeps the good and best in sight,

a proper attitude that sees the wrong but emphasizes the right.

I hope he no longer whimpers, whines or gives a sigh

because he is much too fussy about the thing called “I and Me and My.” 

I hope he has prayed for and found a sense of humor and the grace to see a joke,

to get some happiness from life because he’s finally more patient with other folk.”

(rewrite of poem by an anonymous writer)
