Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Set of Holiday Sermons When hearts are truly moved and souls deeply stirred, speech falls but heavily from human lips. Thus tonight with the great past behind us slowly retreating and a greater future before us swiftly approaching, it becomes impossible to frame into words our reflections on what has been or pour our hope. Into speech touching what may and shall be. Ours is not the leisure required to voice the thou sand thoughts and memories that crowd our poor, wearied brain, nor yet the mood calmly to survey the contents of the passing year or forecast the tale to be told by the year to come. The remembrance of great joys or great sorrows, quick to summon tears of bitterness or evoke the smile of sweet pleasure, forbids a reposeful review of the myriad events which together make up life; while, on the other hand, our dread uncertainty as to what aspects of life the future may unfold for us, silences the accents of prophecy. Thus wavering as it were between the silence which is naturally begotten of an earnest retrospect of life, and the desire to give full and fitting expression to all the hopes and plans which the outlook into an unknown future invites, an old-time, most familiar and touchingly simple greeting re curs to us, - A happy, happy New Year to you all. In the very simplicity and naturalness of this wish lies its ful ness of charm as well as wealth of meaning. Even as in the hour of parting our lips shape themselves of necessity only into Good-by and God Bless You, or as the music of welcome home alone swells the air in the moment of home-coming and rc-union, so the multitude and the in finite variety of our wishes and yearnings resolve them selves into the unspeakably sweet and simple terms, A happy New Year be thine. Marvel and mystery lie hidden in this holiday greeting. A marvel of human, God-like sympathy when addressed com passionately to those whom the mere sound of the word 'happiness seems bent upon cruelly mocking, those whose hearts' love and human happiness are buried in some fresh made grave: - the grave of some thrice-loved one, parent, child, spouse, brother with whom happiness, to be hap piness, must needs have been shared. A marvel of vain, blind hope to such as, resting in the fancied security of unending bliss, are forgetful of the coming hour of trial when their happiness shall pass away as if it had not been. A marvel of solemn exhortation to us all, commanding us to remember that, unless our wishes are to be but empty false hood and poor formality, we must strive to rejoice and en rich and beautify the ofttimes sad and dreary lives of one another with that happiness the quintessence of which is to be found in the fragrance of friendship and the perfume of sweet brotherly helpfulness. A mystery of glad promise, too; for the magic of the term happiness loosens the pinions of the many unvoiced prayers and unuttered as pirations which are buried in the deepest recesses of our heart of hearts. A marvel of divine warning and correc tion, above all; for He in whose benign and Fatherly pres ence we give tongue to our wishes for abiding blessedness with the freedom and confidence of children, whispers into our ears His own wish that we may grow in strength of purpose, prosper in grace of spirit and shine forth in ever hightened beauty of character.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Set of Holiday Sermons: Published by Central Conference of American Rabbis, 5669-1908 There is an old but beautiful parable associated with the observance of this day which pictures the House oi' Israel as similarly a camp of soldiers to whom the call of the Shofar has come in clear, loud, ringing tones, announc ing that the day of review is at hand. They recognize the full significance of its warning tones, and in ready answer to its biddings, have gathered for the momentous event, not however without feelings of sadness and regret, for their ranks have somewhat altered since the last roll call and new faces have appeared in place of loving comrades who have answered the final muster. This Yom Teruah, this day of the blowing of the trumpet, is indeed the day of Israel's annual dress parade, when all of its soldiers - men, women and children - pass in solemn review before their commander-in-chief. But their parade ground is not that of the army post; it is the hal lowed precincts of the synagogue; the reveille which sum mons them together is not that of the blatant army drums; it is the still, small but stirring voice of each one 's con science. The Commander who inspects them is no earth born son of man who looks upon the outer garb alone. He is the King of Kings, who searches the heart and sees to men's very souls; and the training which they receive is not that which fits them for battle with cannon and sword on fields stained with human blood; it is rather a schooling which prepares them to go out into the world of humanity, there to wage holy warfare for truth and righteousness, for liberty and progress, for home and country, for religion and God with the pruning hooks of peace, the ploughshares of honest and serviceable action.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Advent, Christmas, New Year, Easter: And Other Sermons The sermons comprising this volume were, for the most part, preached on consecutive Sunday mornings or evenings.

Download or read book Freeing Jesus written by Diana Butler Bass and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning author of Grateful goes beyond the culture wars to offer a refreshing take on the comprehensive, multi-faceted nature of Jesus, keeping his teachings relevant and alive in our daily lives. How can you still be a Christian? This is the most common question Diana Butler Bass is asked today. It is a question that many believers ponder as they wrestle with disappointment and disillusionment in their church and its leadership. But while many Christians have left their churches, they cannot leave their faith behind. In Freeing Jesus, Bass challenges the idea that Jesus can only be understood in static, one-dimensional ways and asks us to instead consider a life where Jesus grows with us and helps us through life’s challenges in several capacities: as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way, and Presence. Freeing Jesus is an invitation to leave the religious wars behind and rediscover Jesus in all his many manifestations, to experience Jesus beyond the narrow confines we have built around him. It renews our hope in faith and worship at a time when we need it most.
