-	Brothers and sisters,	16:05
	we have come together in the presence of God	16:07
	to set forth His praise, to hear His word	16:11
	and ask for ourselves and on behalf of others,	16:16
	those things that are necessary for life	16:21
	and our salvation,	16:24
	and so that we may prepare ourselves in heart and mind,	16:27
	to worship this gracious God.	16:33
	Let us enter now into prayer with penitent	16:36
	and faithful hearts.	16:40
	Let us pray.	16:42
	Almighty God, who sent the promised power	16:46
	of the Holy Spirit, to fill disciples with willing faith,	16:50
	we confess that we have been held by the force	16:55
	of your spirit among us,	16:58
	that we have been slow to serve you	17:01
	and reluctant to spread the good news of your love.	17:04
	God have mercy on us.	17:08
	Forgive our divisions, and by your Spirit, draw us together.	17:11
	Fill us with flaming desire to do Your will.	17:17
	And be a faithful people.	17:21
	For the sake of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.	17:24
	May we continue in silent prayer.	17:31
	May the Lord have mercy on us.	18:22
	Forgive us all our sins through Christ's abundant grace.	18:25
	Strengthen us in all goodness.	18:30
	And by the power of the Holy Spirit,	18:34
	keep us all in eternal life.	18:37
	Amen.	18:39
	(gentle music)	18:43
	(choir vocalizing)	19:42
	Now let us attend to the hearing of God's Word.	22:29
	First in Acts 9:1-9.	22:33
	"But Saul, still breathing threats and murder	22:39
	against the disciples of the Lord,	22:43
	went to the high priest and asked him for letters	22:46
	to the synagogues at Damascus.	22:49
	So that if he found any belonging to the way,	22:52
	men or women,	22:55
	he might bring them to be bound to Jerusalem.	22:57
	Now, as he journeyed, he approached Damascus.	23:02
	And suddenly a light from heaven flashed about him.	23:05
	And he fell to the ground	23:10
	and heard a voice saying to him, 'Saul, Saul,	23:12
	why do you persecute me?'	23:17
	And he said, 'who are you, Lord?'	23:20
	And he said, 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.	23:23
	But rise and enter the city,	23:28
	and you will be told what to do.'	23:30
	The men who were traveling with him stood speechless,	23:33
	hearing the voice, but seeing no one.	23:37
	Saul arose from the ground.	23:40
	And when his eyes were open, he could see nothing.	23:43
	So they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.	23:47
	And for three days, he was without sight,	23:52
	and neither ate nor drank."	23:55
	But a stand for the hearing of the gospel.	24:00
	Matthew 4:18-22.	24:05
	"And as Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee,	24:11
	he saw two brothers, Simon, who was called Peter	24:14
	and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea,	24:19
	for they were fishermen.	24:24
	And he said to them,	24:26
	'follow me and I will make you fishers of men.'	24:27
	Immediately they left their nets and followed him.	24:32
	And going on from there, he saw two other brothers,	24:37
	James the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother,	24:40
	in the boat with Zebedee, their father, mending their nets,	24:46
	and he called them immediately.	24:50
	They left the boat and their father and followed him."	24:54
	And the Lord bless to us this reading of His Holy Word.	25:01
	(gentle music)	25:04
	(choir vocalizing)	25:14
	Let us now affirm what we believe.	25:49
-	We believe in God who has created and is creating,	25:53
	who has come in the truly human Jesus,	25:58
	to reconcile and make new,	26:01
	who works in us and others by the Spirit.	26:04
	We trust God who calls us to be the church,	26:08
	to celebrate life and its fullness,	26:13
	to love and serve others,	26:16
	to seek justice and resist evil,	26:19
	to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,	26:22
	our judge and our hope,	26:26
	in life and death and life beyond that,	26:29
	God is with us. We are not alone. Thanks be to God.	26:34
	The Lord be with you.	26:40
-	And with your spirit	26:42
-	Let us pray.	26:43
	Come quietly, O God, and still our noisy clamorous cells.	27:01
	Come with power	27:10
	and cast out the many devils that divide us	27:13
	and drain us of strength through fears of imagination,	27:18
	and contradictions of the heart.	27:23
	Come with courage to touch our will,	27:27
	that we may grow to be steadfast and purpose,	27:33
	uniting dreams and deeds,	27:38
	and be faithful to those who claim our love.	27:41
	Come with light to light our way	27:47
	that our minds may be clear	27:53
	and daring and able to name failure and bad judgment	27:56
	and thus to grow in grace and knowledge.	28:03
	We praise thee for this time apart from the busy world,	28:11
	for the grace that illumines our way	28:17
	through a great cloud of witnesses.	28:20
	All those we remember who girded us in truth,	28:24
	forgave our meanness of spirit	28:29
	and showed us a vision full of hope and new life.	28:32
	For parents, teachers, friends, and enemies,	28:38
	we give thee thanks for these learnings of the heart.	28:46
	Out of the fresh strength of these moments, O Lord,	28:53
	move us again into the traffic of the world.	28:58
	Take away the disguises and covers	29:03
	that keep our light from shining in dark places.	29:05
	To release the love that is in each of us.	29:11
	Link us together as a mighty force of people	29:17
	on afraid to reach out and risk the pain of new life.	29:21
	Enable us as a people to say no to death,	29:28
	no to injustice,	29:34
	no to all evasions of the full breadth and depth of truth.	29:38
	And to ever say yes	29:46
	to that love that endures our foolish wanderings	29:49
	and brings us back to health and wholeness.	29:53
	Which is to say yes to Him who gives us forgiveness	29:58
	for what is past.	30:03
	Courage for what lies ahead	30:06
	and peace in his will for all our time.	30:10
	Yes, even Jesus Christ our Lord,	30:15
	who taught us when praying to be bold to say,	30:19
	our Father who art in heaven,	30:24
	hallowed be thy name.	30:27
	Thy kingdom come.	30:30
	Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.	30:32
	Give us this day our daily bread	30:37
	and forgive us our trespasses,	30:41
	as we forgive those who trespass against us.	30:44
	And lead us not into temptation,	30:49
	but deliver us from evil,	30:52
	for thine is the kingdom	30:54
	and the power and the glory forever.	30:56
	Amen.	31:01
	The derivation of the word	31:08
	that Protestants have for years used	31:12
	to describe their ministers,	31:15
	as person is, of course, parson.	31:18
	The minister has taken on an exemplary role as priest	31:25
	and representative for the people of God.	31:30
	The preacher this morning, in a very special way,	31:35
	is an exemplary person of the church's ministry.	31:38
	Line Joe Watson comes to us from a long ministry	31:45
	in this state,	31:49
	an education that goes from Louisburgh to Duke to Yale,	31:51
	to his time as a mural fellow at Harvard Divinity School.	31:57
	I know him as a friend and able preacher of the word	32:02
	and the Duke pulpit is proud	32:07
	to welcome him here this morning.	32:09
-	Let us pray.	32:42
	O thou eternal wisdom	32:50
	whom we partly know and partly do not know.	32:55
	O thou eternal justice	33:05
	whom we partly acknowledge but never holy obey.	33:10
	O thou eternal love,	33:21
	whom we love a little, but fear to love too much.	33:26
	Open our minds that we may understand.	33:36
	Work in our wills that meet we may obey.	33:42
	Kindle our hearts that we may love thee.	33:49
	Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.	33:57
	We read in the Gospel this morning.	34:07
	And he says unto them, follow me.	34:13
	And in the epistle, he fell to the earth,	34:19
	and heard a voice saying unto him,	34:28
	"Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?	34:31
	Why do you kick against the goad?"	34:38
	The word temptation is universally associated with evil.	34:48
	One of our hymns speaks of not yielding to temptation.	34:58
	Suggesting that temptation is an evil	35:05
	to be avoided and overcome.	35:11
	If you say of some person that they are tempted,	35:16
	the immediate for conjured is one of having been lured	35:24
	to do something wrong.	35:31
	Why is that?	35:34
	Our lives major enticements always toward sin.	35:38
	I wish to suggest this morning	35:47
	that lovely things can tempt us as well as evil.	35:51
	Beauty and goodness and truth.	35:59
	Great music, great books, great art.	36:04
	Inspiring homes and fine friends.	36:09
	Causes worth serving, faith worth believing,	36:15
	hope worth fulfilling, character worth obtaining.	36:22
	And above all, Christ saying, follow me.	36:29
	All these tempt human beings.	36:35
	Life with all its evil is also full of enticements to good.	36:40
	Consider the Apostle Paul. He hated Christianity.	36:50
	He presided at the stoning of Stephen.	36:56
	The Scriptures tell us he laid ways to the church.	37:00
	But even then, there was something going on	37:05
	inside the apostle.	37:09
	Intelligent man that he was,	37:13
	he could not persecute a movement without understanding it.	37:17
	And the more he came to understand,	37:24
	the more he was tempted, goaded toward it.	37:29
	Paul, the persecutor of Christians,	37:36
	was inwardly tempted to be a Christian.	37:40
	Finally on the Damascus Road,	37:46
	in a state of spiritual trauma,	37:49
	he heard a voice saying, "Saul, Saul,	37:52
	why persecutest thou me?	37:56
	Why do you kick against the goad?"	38:00
	And out of that confrontation of spirit with spirit,	38:04
	surrendered his life to Christ.	38:10
	Or consider the prodigal son.	38:15
	He left home for the far country.	38:20
	He was we say, tempted by evil, fair enough.	38:24
	But when he was there in the far country,	38:35
	draining the dregs of his bitter cup,	38:40
	he was tempted again, there amidst the swan,	38:45
	an appeal to reason tugged at his heart.	38:52
	He fought against it,	38:56
	tried to escape the humiliation of a penitent returning.	38:58
	But in the end,	39:05
	he surrendered to a pool he could not resist	39:07
	and turned his face homeward.	39:12
	What the Apostle experienced	39:17
	and what the prodigal son experienced,	39:21
	has also been the experience of countless numbers	39:24
	of human beings who have been goaded to be decent,	39:29
	driven, drawn, coerced to clean up their lives and walk	39:35
	in the new direction of a Christian life.	39:42
	And surely, no time in human history stands in greater need	39:47
	of that quality of temptation than does our own.	39:53
	Many among us have been turned off by the church,	40:02
	the church with all its pettiness,	40:09
	with all its superficiality,	40:12
	with all its passion for form without substance.	40:16
	But there are many others	40:24
	who are disturbed by what they see happening	40:27
	in the world around them.	40:31
	And are in response, turning to Christ.	40:34
	For they see in the Christian faith,	40:42
	a great tradition of spiritual life	40:47
	sprung from Hebrew prophets, and the man of Galilee.	40:52
	They see gathered up in the Christian faith,	40:59
	the best the Greeks thought,	41:04
	and in its profound his insights and noblest qualities,	41:08
	they see an inspiration drawn from the life	41:14
	and teaching of Jesus.	41:20
	There are men and women who see in that spiritual heritage,	41:23
	the origin of our ideas of human dignity,	41:30
	of the soul's value,	41:36
	of the rights of conscience before God,	41:40
	of democracy and liberty and human possibility.	41:47
	And thus seeing,	41:55
	have been tempted to claim Christ as their own,	41:58
	answering in their own way his call, follow me.	42:04
	St. Paul started life with a great sense	42:13
	of self sufficiency.	42:16
	Certain that a religious person needed only the law	42:20
	and that with the law, he could rely upon himself,	42:24
	confront life with a strong will,	42:29
	and handle whatever might come his way.	42:33
	But all the time,	42:37
	deep within Paul knew the growing need of an inner help,	42:39
	greater than self,	42:45
	if he was to be the kind of person he yearned to be.	42:48
	In his spiritual autobiography he writes later,	42:54
	that the good which he wanted to do, he could not do,	43:00
	the evil which he did, he did not want to do.	43:05
	And in anguish at the thought of the helplessness	43:10
	of it all, he cries out, "O wretched man than I am,	43:14
	who will deliver me out of this body of death?"	43:21
	And then Paul began to see in those first Christians	43:29
	of power released, resources of inner strength	43:32
	from unfathomable wells,	43:37
	set free to transform character and make possible,	43:41
	the impossible.	43:46
	And the goad of it, the temptation of it,	43:48
	drove him toward Christ.	43:54
	Later writing to the Ephesians,	43:58
	he testified that he was strengthened with might,	44:00
	by Christ's spirit in the inner man.	44:06
	And all my brothers and my sisters in Christ,	44:11
	that same kind of experience is being reproduced among us.	44:18
	Situations where self sufficiency has collapsed.	44:28
	Pride has been broken.	44:34
	And if there be any power to see a person through,	44:37
	they know how terribly they need it.	44:42
	The greatest joy of my years of ministry	44:49
	came out of those eight years,	44:55
	when I had the happy privilege of being minister	44:58
	to youth in a university community.	45:01
	A joy, which reached its height as I saw many	45:07
	looking for that kind of faith.	45:12
	The faith that enables a person to pray	45:17
	that simple prayer which says,	45:20
	O God, help me to understand that you are not going	45:24
	to let anything come my way,	45:28
	that you and I together cannot handle.	45:33
	It is hard enough at any time	45:41
	to be strong, coherent, steady,	45:43
	well integrated as a human being,	45:48
	able to hold together under life's strain,	45:53
	and when in the process of spiritual victory.	45:57
	But there are countless numbers among us	46:02
	caught up in that kind of struggle,	46:06
	who having heard Jesus saying, be of good cheer,	46:09
	I have overcome the world.	46:16
	have been tempted and goaded to respond to that kind	46:19
	and measure of faith.	46:27
	One of the strange marvels of Christian history	46:31
	is the way that Jesus has tempted so many.	46:37
	We picture the tempter as the devil.	46:42
	And that is a truth we do well to recognize.	46:47
	Yet Christ saying across the centuries, "Follow me,"	46:52
	outmatches the devil at his best.	46:59
	We say no to him,	47:07
	we kick against the goad and we'll have none of him.	47:11
	But when we are through, he is still there,	47:17
	and in our deepest need and darkest hour,	47:23
	we too cry out, oh, that I might be like him.	47:27
	A few years ago,	47:36
	I had the exciting experience of spending a semester	47:38
	in residence at Harvard Divinity School.	47:44
	While there, I became acquainted with a Japanese student	47:50
	who had arrived at the same time I did.	47:57
	He had come to the United States five years previously	48:04
	for a graduate study,	48:11
	and just the previous spring,	48:14
	he had received a PhD at Northwestern University	48:17
	in Metallurgy.	48:23
	As the weeks wore on that fall in seminary,	48:28
	he seemed to become more and more troubled in spirit.	48:35
	And so provided an occasion,	48:43
	one day I engaged him in conversation.	48:45
	And out of it, we talked.	48:51
	We talked for almost three hours,	48:54
	three hours during which I learned that during those years	48:59
	at Northwestern, he had become involved	49:05
	in a Christian campus group,	49:11
	which did an in depth study of Dietrich Bonhoeffer.	49:16
	And as he had learned about Bonhoeffer,	49:25
	the deep hold which Christ had upon Bonhoeffer's life,	49:32
	the sense of inner serenity	49:41
	with which Bonhoeffer faced death,	49:45
	this young man found that it spoke too deep	49:51
	an articulated need in his own life,	49:56
	the need to experience that kind of faith,	50:02
	the need to know the Christ who was Bonhoeffer's Savior.	50:07
	So it was then that he laid aside his doctorate	50:16
	in metallurgy and enrolled at Harvard Divinity School,	50:21
	in the hope that such a program of theological study	50:28
	would assuage his deep hunger	50:36
	and provide a new direction for his life.	50:41
	And now after several weeks in residence,	50:47
	he was troubled of spirit.	50:51
	Divinity School had not turned out	50:55
	to be what he had expected.	50:58
	Had he made a mistake? He asked.	51:01
	We talked on for several hours.	51:06
	In the process, I mentioned his fellow countryman, Kagawa,	51:10
	and was surprised to learn that he knew very little	51:15
	about this spiritual jaunt of our century.	51:19
	We talked about Kagawa's search for spiritual certainty.	51:25
	And the answer provided for that search	51:32
	in loving self giving service.	51:37
	The next morning, I found a note pinned to my door,	51:44
	expressing appreciation for the time spent together,	51:50
	saying that a new perspective had been gained	51:57
	on what he was seeking and possession of a renewed certainty	52:04
	that he was indeed where he should be,	52:12
	though he did not know where it was taking him.	52:15
	He was yielding to the tempting Christ,	52:22
	no longer kicking against the goad.	52:27
	Here is another man,	52:32
	a truck driver in Ida Grove, Iowa.	52:36
	He is a reformed alcoholic,	52:42
	a member of the Methodist church	52:46
	and a regular member of its choir.	52:50
	He develops an interest in politics	52:56
	and goes on to become a third term Democratic governor	53:01
	in that rock ribbed Republican state.	53:09
	After that, he was elected to the United States Senate.	53:14
	A man of deep, personal, spiritual faith.	53:20
	Senator Howard Hughes found that more and more	53:27
	he was spending his time praying and counseling	53:33
	with his troubled colleagues.	53:38
	And even with total strangers	53:41
	who called him up seeking his help.	53:44
	In the fall of 1973,	53:50
	Senator Hughes announced that he would leave the Senate	53:55
	at the end of his present term to launch out	53:59
	in what he called a different kind of effort	54:05
	that will be primarily spiritual rather than political.	54:11
	He told one of his shocked aides,	54:19
	that he would rather bring one person to Christ,	54:23
	than to address a rally of thousands.	54:30
	When challenged that he could do more	54:37
	by continuing as a senator, he replied,	54:39
	"Salvation is all that counts.	54:46
	You can't take high office and plaques and commendations	54:52
	into eternity."	55:00
	Tempted by Christ' call saying, "Follow me,"	55:06
	he was goaded into walking in a new direction	55:13
	with a new sense of meaning and purpose.	55:18
	Many greeted Senator Hughes decision	55:25
	with cynical disbelief.	55:30
	Some suggested that what he had chosen to do	55:34
	was not practical.	55:40
	That it was all right	55:44
	to hold Christian conviction and ideals.	55:46
	But that finally, you have to recognize that it is in a far	55:51
	different practical world of realism,	55:58
	that decisions have to be made,	56:04
	suggesting thereby that Christian idealism	56:08
	and worldly practicality were somehow mutually exclusive.	56:15
	But think about that for a moment.	56:27
	I ask you,	56:32
	what is truly practical in this world of ours?	56:37
	Is bombing a whole country into a scarred wasteland	56:45
	in order to save it practical?	56:53
	Is subsidizing national governments	57:01
	that imprison thousands for political dissent,	57:07
	while at the same time espousing	57:16
	the democratic way practical?	57:20
	Is funding water projects,	57:29
	which are at best of questionable value,	57:34
	while at the same time denying funds for enabling persons	57:39
	estranged from their country by an awful war,	57:47
	to get home and become integrated once more	57:53
	into our society practical?	57:57
	Is it practical	58:07
	to consistently sell short programs	58:11
	whose purpose is to create an environment	58:18
	where children can grow up	58:22
	with physical and emotional normality?	58:26
	Is it practical to organize and work to save the fox,	58:34
	to save the dolphin, to save the bald eagle	58:43
	and other endangered species,	58:50
	and then work even harder to create fiscal	58:57
	and legal means by which human life may be denied	59:04
	to unborn children?	59:11
	Is it practical to spend millions of dollars	59:16
	building bombers whose need is at least questionable	59:24
	and whose cost is outrageous,	59:32
	while crying that we must cut budget items	59:37
	that feed children and provide economic opportunity	59:42
	for the dispossessed?	59:49
	I ask you, is all of that what is truly practical	59:52
	in our world?	1:00:00
	Or is it more apparent than ever before,	1:00:05
	that the only true practicality is that which is based	1:00:10
	on the ethic of the Sermon on the Mount.	1:00:16
	I testify out of the depth of my own heart	1:00:22
	and everything which I hold to be true	1:00:28
	that this business of being tempted to hear Christ's call	1:00:34
	to follow Him is not some lovely,	1:00:40
	uninvolved kind of idealism	1:00:47
	but the sternest, most practical realism of all,	1:00:51
	granted the far country is tempted.	1:00:59
	But when finally we get there and end up among the swan,	1:01:05
	and lose our last shred of self respect,	1:01:11
	that is not tempting at all.	1:01:16
	For a truth, sexual promiscuity is tempting,	1:01:21
	but finally, when sex becomes jaded,	1:01:31
	and nothing is any longer satisfying,	1:01:36
	and our sensual capacity so beautiful when controlled,	1:01:41
	but so debilitating when unleashed,	1:01:47
	brings us at last to nothingness.	1:01:52
	That's not tempting at all.	1:01:57
	Thank God, there are still young people	1:02:02
	and middle aged people and older people	1:02:08
	who are tempted to live decent, disciplined lives,	1:02:12
	faithful to partners, making secure the homes of the land	1:02:19
	and thereby greater possibility	1:02:28
	for the children destined to live in them.	1:02:32
	To be sure, it is tempting to be selfish,	1:02:39
	to think only of me and mine,	1:02:45
	to be miserly in the sharing of resources	1:02:51
	and talents and time and self.	1:02:56
	But when life's work is done,	1:03:03
	and we look back and assess what life has been all about,	1:03:07
	too late we learn that what we have is a (indistinct)	1:03:14
	and that is not tempting at all.	1:03:25
	Some poet spoke well when he said,	1:03:30
	"All such shall go down to the vile dust	1:03:35
	from whence he sprung, unwept, unhonored, unsung.	1:03:41
	Praise God.	1:03:51
	There are still men and women who are tempted	1:03:53
	to forget themselves,	1:03:59
	to give themselves to something greater than self,	1:04:03
	to lose their lives in something worth sacrificing for.	1:04:08
	And as a result, find life,	1:04:16
	finding it not as some illusory idealism	1:04:21
	but as the way, the basic, practical,	1:04:28
	realistic way to worthwhile life.	1:04:34
	Praise God.	1:04:41
	There are still those who hear the call, follow me,	1:04:43
	and are tempted and goaded to response.	1:04:52
	In the name of the Father, and of the Son	1:05:01
	and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.	1:05:07

	that we might ever turn our energies to works of justice	1:13:18

	In Christ's name, Amen.	1:13:27

	Glory to God, whose power working in us	1:17:12
