The Paranormal and The Sacred Radio Show

Time to Tithe

Now, onto more practical matters…Paul asks the Corinthians to take up a collection that he can deliver to the church in Jerusalem. Waiting until the end to ask for money? Smart move.He assures them that he's going to visit them soon. Right now, he's pretty caught up in Ephesus. Lots of naysayers hanging around that place.He's sending Timothy to them, though, so he's hoping the Corinthians will treat him well.Paul also mentions that Apollos will be coming sometime in the future. Whenever he has a free minute to travel across multiple regions.He asks them to follow the example of Stephanus and his whole household. They were some of the earlier converts in Corinth, and Paul really digs them.Aquila and Prisca send their love, too, along with all the churches in Asia. That's a lot of love.Paul closes the whole letter by sending his good wishes and prayers for Jesus to come very, very soon. All our thanks to www.shmoop.com

The Resurrection Will Not Be Televised. Paul reminds the Corinthians that he was the one who taught them all about Jesus. How he died and rose again and appeared to loads of people. Even to little ol' Paul. He's the hardest working apostle in this Christ-business. There are some people in Corinth who doubt Paul's teachings. For example, the one about the dead being raised when the world ends. Paul explains that if there's no resurrection of the dead, then that means: Jesus was never resurrected. Say it ain't so! Paul is a big fat liar. Who you callin' a liar, Corinthians? But the truth is Jesus was resurrected. He's just the first in a long line of people who are gonna be back when the world comes to an end.  But now, everyone will live because of Jesus. It's actually pretty simple:  Christ died and rose again.  Soon, this world is gonna end and he's gonna come back again. That's when he'll raise all his faithful followers from the dead, too. After that, Jesus will defeat all evil and hand the reigns over to God.  Here's another thought. If there's no resurrection of the dead, then why do the Corinthians bother getting baptized on behalf of dead people? What's the point? Oh, and why are Christians risking their lives, families, relationships, and social standing for a God who just lets them die and turn to dust? Basically, according to Paul, if the whole resurrection of the dead thing isn't true—Christians are wasting their time. But, our heavenly bodies are going to be… well, heavenly. It will happen in an instant. A trumpet will sound and we'll be different. It's the only way God will totally get one over on death. So rest easy, Paul says. Everything he says is true, so if you believe, you've got nothing to worry about.

Today's Bible reading is all about the gift of Speaking in Tongues. I Corinthians Chapter 14.

Tongue-Tied?  Right, so love is the most important thing, but if you're going to use your spiritual gifts, use them wisely. The most useful gift, in Paul's opinion, is prophecy. The least helpful one is speaking in tongues. Why is Paul down on this practice? Good question. Basically, it's because when you speak in tongues, no one else can understand what the heck you're saying. Prophets can build up a community with their predictions and the things they see. But speaking in tongues is a pretty individual exercise. Other people would like to understand what God is trying to say to you, too. Paul rather say five words that help others than a thousand in holy gibberish that no one gets. Sometimes non-believers are swayed when they see Christians speaking in tongues. But if a bunch of non-believers walk into a church and see everyone speaking in tongues they're going to think that those Christians have lost it. Okay, so what to do? Well, Paul says that when the church comes together, people should take turns speaking in tongues. Then, someone can sit and interpret for them. If no one is around to interpret, then they need to hush it up 'til later. And, while we're on the subject of shutting up in church—maybe the ladies should be doing that, too. Paul says that "women should be silent in the churches." No talking. Singing. Zip. If a lady has questions, she can go bother her husband with them when she gets home. Right after she finishes making him a sandwich. But anyway, back to tongues. So, it's fine with Paul, but just don't overdo it, okay? Good. Thanks to www.shmoop.com

Today we are reading I Corinthians Chapter 13...Here Comes the Love

So, Paul has established that there are tons of gifts that people can have. But the greatest gift of all? Love. Awww…Sure, you might be able to predict the future and understand all the mysteries of the world, but if you don't have love in your heart, then you're missing out. Big time."Love is patient; love is kind…" Oh, is someone having a wedding? No, it's just Paul explaining all the wonder that is love.Basically, love is everything good and nothing bad. It lasts forever, while spiritual gifts will fall by the wayside. Predictions and speaking in tongues can only get you so far in life. Love is for always.Paul explains that when he was a child, he acted like a child. No surprise there. But, now, he's a grown man and he's done with kids' stuff.When this world is done, when God has wiped everything away, it will be like looking in a mirror for the first time and really seeing.Before this, we only knew part of what there was to know. But soon, we'll know everything.When this happens, spiritual gifts won't matter. The only feelings that will exist in the world are faith, hope, and love. But of course, the most excellent one of all is love. Whoa, Paul sure is a poet.

Lewis H. Simpson II

Tonight is a memorial program for our beloved Lewis Harold Simpson II. He was a self-published author of the book One Inventor's Autobiography and inventor from Springfield, Mass. He had five older sisters, Madelyn (Mimi), Mildred, Shirley, Doris and Gertrude (Bettye). He had one younger brother Charles (Chick) who was my father. He grew up on Melrose Street 'The Block' in Springfield, Mass. He  overcame polio and illness in childhood, growing up during The Great Depression and WWII, meeting his beloved wife of 56 years Kathryn Flynn when they both worked at The Diamond Match Company and he traveled across the USA during the depression and had many unusual experiences. On December 28, 1949 their first son Lewis III was born. They were then to have another son Wayne Simpson born on September 3rd, 1953. He delivered his son Wayne Simpson himself after the doctor sent Kathy home for false labor pains. (Wayne died in his 40s due to his epilepsy.)  He eventually became a highly skilled machinist. He worked for the US Navy on historic Mare Island near San Francisco, California. Lewis and Kathy were lifelong seekers who sought out and thought a lot about spirituality and what it meant to them. He and his wife Kathryn lived in Vallejo many years until she passed 11 years ago and then his recent passing. He is a beloved father, grandfather and my uncle. Tonight his family gathers from all parts of the country to share their feelings and memories about this great man. Joining us will be his son Lewis Simpson III, his wife Marian. His grandson Chris Simpson and his wife Tracy, and his grand daughter Mary Kathryn Simpson.

I Corinthians Chapter 12.

Paul moves on to discuss gifts. No, you're not getting a new iPad. He's talking about spiritual gifts from God.For example: how do we know the difference between people who are spiritually gifted and people who are just off their rockers? Well, Paul says, as long as they're not cursing Jesus, they're good. It's a pretty low bar, but we're with him so far. There are all kinds of different gifts people can have, but they all come from God. What are some of the gifts Paul recognizes? We're glad you asked:

Rock That Body

Different people have different gifts, but this is just like a human body. Oh, time for Anatomy 101.All the parts—eyes, ears, feet, hands—need to work together so the body can function. You can't have a foot going off on its own or the whole thing falls apart.All Christians make up the body of Christ and every single part is important for keeping this body healthy. Hear that, Corinthians?You're all in this together.Paul even says that sometimes the puniest, weakest parts of the body turn out to be the most important. Like fingernails? Or toes?So to recap: we're all very special little snowflakes.If everyone could make miracles or everyone spoke in tongues things would be a huge mess. Everyone's gifts are needed to make things awesome.
