Neighborhood Full Gos- pel Church of Corning will be hosting the Rev. Eric Bennett of Jews for Jesus at the morning service at 10:45 a.m. Sunday, May 18. Christ In The Passover will be his theme. There will be a table set with the Passover Supper. Bennett will be expound- ing on the meaning of each part of the meal, and what it means for us with Jesus as our Messiah. As a drama graduate from California Lutheran Univer- sity and also a graduate of Gordon-Conwell Theologi- cal Seminary, Bennett re- ally puts himself into his message. There is also Sunday School for all ages preced- ing the service at 9:30 a.m. Neighborhood Full Gospel is at First and South streets in Corning. For more information, call 530 824-2323. FULLGOSPELCHURCH ChristinthePassovertopicoftalk We human beings have never been re- ally good at keep- ing the covenants we make with God or with each other. Noah had a drink- ing problem and Abraham passed his wife off as his sister out of fear of a pagan king. Americans declared all men created equal and then pretended blacks and Indians were not really people in order to justify enslaving and bru- talizing them. In each case the people sinning were doing what they thought they had to do in the ab- sence of a God Who is any- thing but absent. The good news is we can know and serve a loving God who per- mits and even encourages do-overs. The do-overs are called repentance. Repentance means to turn about. It includes turning away from our cov- enant breaking ways, but it centers on turning toward – re-focusing – on God and the promises we and He have exchanged. Part of the reason God never abandoned us over – for example – slavery is the reality that a substan- tial minority of Americans saw it for the evil it was and worked tirelessly to re- place it with the authentic vision of equality expressed in Declaration and Consti- tution. It is axiomatic that God never abandons a city or nation for its evil, but only when there is no critical mass of righteous ones with whom He can work. Check the stories of Sodom and Gomorrah, Moses bargain- ing with God for the preser- vation of apostate Israel in the wilderness, or even Eli- jah complaining in his lit- tle cave. TheNationalDayof Repentance There exists a grassroots ministry called The Na- tional Day of Repentance. Less than two years old and launched by word of mouth and a fledgling (at the time) web site it is now operating in more than 40 states and thirty nations. The sole purpose of this ministry is to encourage Chris- tians to re-focus our atten- tion on God and His cov- enant with us – as though that were more important than restoring our con- stitution and nation – be- cause it is. We also happen to believe wholeheartedly that this re-focus on cove- nant will lead to restoration of constitution and nation one way or another. That is the way things happened in the Bible. That is the way things happened in Amer- ican history as well, from the first Great Awaken- ing that enabled the Ameri- can Revolution and the doc- uments that framed it, to the second that enabled the end of slavery, to the third that brought the success of the Civil Rights Movement and the advent of Morning in America under Ronald Reagan's presidency. The last scheduled Na- tional Day of Repentance was April 30 – the anni- versary of George Wash- ington's First Inaugural that he personally bathed in prayer, and of Abraham Lincoln's 1863 called-for Day of Prayer, Fasting and Humiliation. Funny how two of our founding fathers most associated with no real faith – by some foolish scholars – are the most pro- nounced in their calling on God for His mercy over the nation.) The web site – no lon- ger fledgling – is www.day- ofrepentance.org. Any who wish to participate in fu- ture days need only engage some act of corporate re- focus on God on that day, or beginning on that day. Those who represent a Christian ministry of any sort are invited to go on the web site, accept the incred- ibly generic statement of faith, and post their activity in case others might take inspiration from knowing about it. Rain and Reign Coalition In California the drought is being addressed by the Rain and Reign Coalition, a gathering of some forty ministries that cross de- nominational lines and pray for the growing of repen- tant – re-focused – hearts across the state. We re- pent – turn away – daily of the shedding of innocent blood, the idolatry of hu- man reason, sexual infidel- ity and perversion, and the breaking of covenant from treaties to families. We re- pent – turn toward – daily for God's mercy in break- ing the high pressure ridge that holds back the rain and the highly pressured hearts that hold back the prosperity and joy that is His promise for California. Any wishing to participate can begin to pray daily as we do. Some – perhaps many – see this as pious tripe. Good enough. How have our efforts worked out for us the past decade or so? In Jeremiah 31 God prom- ises a new covenant writ- ten on every human heart that turns to Him and to bring all of His blessings to bear through those hearts. He makes the same prom- ises in Isaiah 59, Ezekiel 11, and Joel 2 and 3. They are always preceded by a pe- riod of repentance – that we might be enabled to re- ceive Him. It is the same with ev- ery American Awakening. What have we got to lose? Encouragement comes in the next posting.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Vati- can officials have conducted a tour in Philadelphia ahead of a major Roman Catho- lic gathering that the city's archbishop believes will in- clude an appearance by the pope. Archbishop Charles Cha- put (SHAP'-yoo) said he's "personally convinced" the pontiff is coming to the World Meeting of Families planned there in Septem- ber 2015. But he stressed that noth- ing is certain until an offi- cial announcement from the Holy See, which won't be coming for several more months.
