One week ago today was the official start of the Missouri Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. I am thankful for the structure of our denomination, and especially for the leadership in Missouri, from Bishop Schnase through the district superintendents and the conference staff. I am hopeful for the future, and supportive of the emphasis upon the local church making disciples. Today I will write my study guide for week two of Isaiah, write my sermon, film a teaching session for next week, visit a gunshot victim in the hospital, and begin to prepare for the motorcycle trip next week.
Acts 7:30-50
Stephen’s speech to the Jewish council after his arrest. In these verses he recounts the call of Moses, and the leadership Moses provided to the Israelites as God delivered them from Egypt (about 1400 years previous to Stephen and this council.) Stephen recalls the tendency to divert from following God by making idols – such as the golden calf Aaron allowed in the wilderness. Verses 42-43 from The Message says: “God wasn’t at all pleased; but he let them do it their way, worship every new god that came down the pike – and live with the consequences, consequences described by the prophet Amos: Did you bring me offerings of animals and grains those forty wilderness years, O Israel? Hardly. You were too busy building shrines to war gods, to sex goddesses, worshiping them with all your might. That’s why I put you in exile in Babylon.”
It is good for me to read Stephen’s speech this morning, and his recounting of the rebellion by the Israelites. In verses 49-50 he quotes from Isaiah 66 in which God declares that heaven is His footstool, and thus what kind of house could humans build for Him? Today I live in a time in which humans are so proud of their corporate accomplishments, and at the same time empty and searching for meaning and purpose. God’s word, inspired by the Holy Spirit and working through the church, the Body of Christ is powerful, and I have the privilege today of devoting myself to the ministry of the Word and to prayer.
Guide me Holy Lord as I serve You today, June 10, 2011.

I am still recovering from the 5 days of Annual Conference. Yesterday I started early with a breakfast meeting and ended late after our life group met at church, and then Audrey and I greeted the youth work camp staying at Wesley. Through the middle of the day I ran 3 miles, mowed the back yard and in the garden got the tomato cages in place for my growing plants. The okra and zucchini have sprouted and are doing well in this heat.
Today I will work on sermon planning, worship planning, and development of the 4 week Bible study of Isaiah. I have 40 people signed up for this study. On Sunday afternoon Steve and I will head out on a four day motorcycle trip through Kansas and Colorado. I am looking forward to riding hard and getting into the mountains. We have been planning a trip like this for several years.
Acts 6
The disciples were increasing in number, and a problem arose concerning the daily serving of food. The Hellenistic (Greek) Jews felt their widows were being overlooked in preference to the native Hebrews. The twelve gathered the congregation and addressed the problem directly. They discerned that their primary role was prayer and the ministry of the word, and thus had the congregations select seven men of good reputation to put in charge of the task of the daily feeding. Stephen, Phillip, and 5 others were selected; the apostles prayed and laid their hands on them, thus establishing the first deacons in the church.
This is a most interesting account of life in the body of Christ at a very early stage. It has many implications for the church today. One take away for me this morning is a reminder of the role of prayer and the ministry of the word that is primary for clergy. It is so easy to get distracted in the details of operations in a faith community and neglect the vital and primary role of prayer and scripture. Today I will pray with a new mother at St. John’s Hospital, then at Wesley we will have prayer at 9, worship planning around the Word of God at 10:30, and tonight I have the privilege of teaching from Isaiah, the first of a four week series.
Guide me Holy Lord today as I pray and serve in the ministry of the word. Thank you for the 6th chapter of Acts, and the reminder of the spiritual priorities you have set out for spiritual leaders. Thank you for Eugene Peterson and his work in writing The Unnecessary Pastor. Guard me from bogging down in the details, and guard me from ignoring the needs. Give me the wisdom and discernment which the apostles exercised.

6-7-11 Tuesday, 6:28 am Springfield
Yesterday we closed Annual Conference and prayed the Wesleyan Covenant prayer - I am no longer my own, but thine. Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt. Put me to doing, put me to suffering. Let me be employed for thee or laid aside for thee, exalted for thee or brought low for thee. Let me be full, let me be empty … As we voted for delegates for our delegation to General and Jurisdictional conference, I received the most votes of anyone not elected. I experienced a sense of relief that my calendar would not include trips to Columbia throughout the year etc. I am “ranked” according to God’s plan, and this prayer.
Last night I visited the emergency room where one of our children was being treated for snakebite. Around 8 last night she was bitten on the hand by a copperhead. She was doing well. I will meet with a younger pastor this morning for breakfast and learn of his journey. Worship planning, leadership planning, and our small group round out the rest of Tuesday. I am looking forward to being back in the office now that Conference is over.
Acts 5
Ananias and Sapphira sell some land and then lie to the church about how much it sold for. They did this so they could hold some of the proceeds back, and appear to give all to the church. Each one was struck dead in the presence of Peter as they lied before the church. This is always a troubling account for me to read. As I read it this morning, it seems as though these two were buried so quickly, I wondered if they were really dead. The basic take-away for me is that God is powerful, not to be trifled with, and following Him as a disciple of Jesus Christ is serious and all-consuming.
Guide my steps today Lord as I serve you with joy as a pastor in Springfield.

My morning journaling and devotions have been hampered by my schedule affected by five days of Annual Conference meeting here in Springfield. Yesterday we had a very good Sunday at Wesley, even as our youth are travelling in Tennessee, our choir was singing downtown at Annual Conference, and our hospitality team was hosting Annual Conference. I started a four-part series on Isaiah, and will be teaching the next four Wednesday nights on the prophet.
Yesterday I had a most interesting conversation over dinner with Joe Dongell. Toward the end we discussed the M. Div. degree and the increasing percentage of seminary students who are not interested in the pastorate (now 50% or higher), but rather in a specialized ministry. I have so many unfinished thoughts from this conversation that perhaps I should write an essay to help clarify. The topics would include: why is there a decline in pastor-bound students? What is there about the current state of the church that is failing to attract the best and brightest to the ministry? What is the best role for the seminary? How can called and gifted professors keep from pointing students toward academia, and point them toward the pastorate? How can I as a pastor and a scholar make a positive, unselfish contribution to this dilemma? How can we alumni support the work of academia and cultivate the call in young followers of Christ? How can healthy, vital congregations impact the call and cultivation of the next generation of pastoral leaders? What is the best use of 72 or 96 graduate hours of instruction in the formation of a pastor? What are the new opportunities for seminaries to instruct and train lay women and men for servant leadership in the church? Many things to think about!
I Kings 1-2
David, as an old man, hands the kingdom to his son Solomon, even as his son Adonijah was establishing himself as king, gaining the loyalty of Joab, the commander of the army, and Abiathar the priest. “But Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoaiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.” (verse 8) It is Nathan who instigates the conversation with Bathsheba to approach the elderly king David concerning his previous promise to hand the throne to her son Solomon. She does so, David responds favorably, and Solomon is crowned king, even as Adonijah is hosting a feast in his own honor. Adonijah’s supporters scatter, and he realizes his life is in jeopardy.
Reading these two chapters, as we are in the middle of the annual conference election of delegates to General and Jurisdictional conference, makes relevant the issues of leadership and succession in the church. Selecting the next bishop(s) begins with the election of delegates to General Conference, as the first delegate elected is considered likely to be a candidate for bishop. During this coming year, potential candidates for bishop will emerge from the annual conferences, and at the Jurisdictional conferences around the country next summer there will be the elections which determine who the incoming bishops will be. Our nation is also in the early stages of preparing to elect the next president, whether it be a second term for Obama, or a first term for someone who challenges and defeats him in the national election in Nov, 2012.
Lord, I am not in the loop for being elected to significant leadership in the church. You have called me to be a pastor, and a faithful, servant of the church I desire to be. Guide me as I journey with you during this part of my life, seeking to live with my single loyalty being to You and Your purpose for my life. Take my life and let it be, consecrated Lord to thee. Take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise!

Today is the first day of Annual Conference. Yesterday I worked at Wesley in the morning, had lunch with Jerry, then three “preliminary” meetings for the work of the Annual Conference – the Board of Ordained Ministry, the Healthy Church Initiative, and the College Age Ministries. In the evening Audrey and I attended a dinner for the Board of Ordained Ministry and guests, held at Kingsway UMC. Tomorrow I host the Asbury Seminary luncheon at St. Paul UMC in downtown Springfield.
This morning I have been compiling a devotional reading guide for a bulletin insert to accompany the four-part Isaiah series I start this weekend. I am using notes from my daily devotions in January – March. I look forward to leading this series.
Acts 1 (From The One Year Bible for June 3)
The continuation of the writing of Luke, addressed to Theophilus as an eye witness account of the events following the resurrection of Christ. He appeared to the apostles over a period of 40 days, “speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God.” Jesus gathered them together and told them to wait for what the Father had promised. In verse 8 He says “you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”
In verses 15-26 is the account of the brethren (about 120 persons in the upper room) led by Peter to select a replacement apostle for Judas. Two men were nominated, Joseph called Barsabbas and Matthias. They drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias, “and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.” I have often wondered if this was a premature replacement of Judas, and that when Paul was raised up by God, he could have become the 12th apostle, if that spot had still been open. Today and for the next 3 days at Annual Conference we will elect delegates to the General and Jurisdictional Conferences. It will be interesting to observe this process. During the last election, 4 years ago, I was elected as a delegate to the Jurisdictional conference.
Lord today may I be empowered by your Holy Spirit to be your witness in Springfield, in all Missouri, and even to the remotest part of the earth, in the blessed name of Jesus the Christ.

Today I begin attending meetings for Annual Conference, which formally begins tomorrow. This will be my 30th Annual Conference, and I look forward to the friendships and relationships that will be nurtured during the next 5 days. I am hosting a lunch on Saturday, and lost some sleep last night over that event as I was thinking of details still to check on (such as drinks, sound system, etc.) This is the first year that I have served on the ordained ministry team, which has a large role during the conference with an afternoon meeting today, dinner tonight, and the ordination service on Saturday night. At this point I do not have a leadership role on that conference team, though I do chair the district Ordained Ministry Team.
II Sam 19:11 – 20:13
David’s physical return to Jerusalem, and his return to power as King over the twelve tribes. These chapters contain the nitty gritty of personal loyalties, revenge, positioning, maneuvering. The murder of David’s chosen commander Amasa by the current commander Joab finishes today’s reading in a blood bath. I am thinking about politics and violence in the world today, and all that it involves. Who will be the next leader assassinated, the next rebellion led by an aspiring dictator? I have been concerned that president Obama is a vulnerable target of violence as the language of political debate is so harsh in our country.
Guide my work Lord as I serve You as a shepherd of Your sheep, seeking the lost, caring for the flock, developing fruitful disciples of You who worship, care and serve. Guard me from distraction and paralysis as there are so many details and relationships to care for.

A new month, the beginning of a long, hot summer, United Methodist Annual Conference comes to town. I am always energized by the start of a new month. Each month has its own feel. My dad would often say “And what is so rare as a day in June/Then, if ever, come perfect days.” I have since learned via the internet that these are words penned by the poet James Russell Lowell (February 22, 1819 – August 12, 1891).
2 Sam 18 -19:10
David organizes his troops with leaders of thousands and leaders of hundreds. Planning to go to battle with them, they convince him to stay put while they confront the troops of Israel under the rebel king Absalom, David’s son. He gives instruction to his three generals, not to harm Absalom. As the fighting unfolds, the forest of Ephraim consumes more lives than does the battle. 20,000 men are killed.
Absalom gets hung up in a low tree as his mule went under the thick branches of an oak. He was found, and Joab thrust him through with three spears, and he was finished off by the ten young men who carried Joab’s armor (18:14-15). The troops of Israel fled, and Joab sent word to David by a runner, the Cushite. Ahimaaz wanted to carry the news, and Joab eventually relented, and let him go also. When David received the message that his forces had been victorious, and that Absalom was dead, he grieved for his son. This caused the troops to be ashamed, and infuriated his commander Joab. Joab spoke his mind to David, who arose and went to the gate to speak to the troops and people gathered.
David continued to lead with authority and to command with cunning, even as he is on the run from his son who has usurped the throne. This reminds me that under all conditions, the servants of God must keep making progress, using the gifts they have been given, and no matter how hard it gets, continue to trust God and lead with authority and courage.
Thank you Lord for the “charge to keep I have,” as pastor, teacher, leader of a great company of disciples called Wesley United Methodist Church. These 4 years have gone by rapidly. Guide me as I approach Annual Conference and the weeks and months ahead. Guard me from anything that would sidetrack or subvert the course upon which You have set my feet.
