The cold has a voice
It talks to me
Stillborn, by choice
It airs no need to hold

Old man feels the cold...
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told

Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on...my love
We shall meet, I know
I know

Where joy should reign
These skies restrain
'Shadow your love...'
The voice trails off again

Old man feels the cold
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told

Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on...my love
You feel so weak, be strong
Stay on, stay on
We shall meet, I know
I know
I know, my love, I know

Feel the cold
Winter's calling on my home..

The Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Price



44 "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

-Matthew 13: 44-46




Meditation:

In a peasant community the best safe was often the earth.  The man in the parable "went in his joy" to sell everything. Why?  Because he found a treasure worth possessing above all else he had.  He did not, however, have enough to buy the treasure. Fortunately, he only needed enough to buy the field. In a similar fashion, God offers his kingdom as incomparable treasure at a price we can afford! We can't pay the full price for the life which God gives us; but when we exchange our life for the life which God offers, we receive a treasure beyond compare. The pearl of great price also tells us a similar lesson.  Pearls in the ancient world came to represent the supremely valuable.  Jesus remarked that one should not cast pearls before swine (Matthew 7:6). Why would a mercant sell everything for a peerless pearl?  No doubt because he was attracted to what he thought was the greatest treasure he could possess. Discovering God's kingdom is like stumbling across hidden treasure or finding the one pearl of great price.  When we discover the kingdom of God we receive the greatest possible treasure -- the Lord himself. Selling all that we have to obtain this incomparable treasure could mean many things -- our friends, job, our "style of life", what we do with our free time. Treasure has a special connection to the heart, the place of desire and longing, the place of will and focus. The thing we most set our heart on is our highest treasure. In this parable what does the treasure of the kingdom refer to? It certainly refers to the kingdom of God in all its aspects. But in a special way, the Lord himself is the treasure we seek for. If the Almighty is your gold and your precious silver, then you will delight yourself in the Almighty (Job 22:22-23). Is the Lord the treasure and delight of your heart?

"Lord Jesus, reveal to me the true riches of your kingdom. Help me to set my heart on you alone as the treasure beyond compare with any other. Free my heart of any inordinate desires or attachment to other things that I may freely give to you all that I have in joy and gratitude for all that you have given to me. May I always find joy and delight in your presence."

The Tower Builder & the Warlord







27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, `This man began to build, and was not able to finish.' 31 Or what king, going to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an embassy and asks terms of peace. 33 So therefore, whoever of you does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.

- Luke 14: 27 -33



Meditation:

What does the parable of the tower builder and a ruler on a war campaign have in common?  Both risk serious loss if they don't carefully plan ahead.  In a shame and honor culture they want to avoid at all costs being mocked by their community for failing to complete a task they began in earnest.This double parable echoes the instruction of Proverbs: "By wisdom a house is built" and "by wise guidance you can wage a war" to ensure victory (Proverbs 24:3-6). Every landowner who could afford it walled in his orchard as a protection from intruders who might steal or harm his produce. A tower was usually built in a corner of the wall and a guard posted especially during harvest time when thieves would likely try to make off with the goods.  Starting a building-project, like a watchtower, and leaving it unfinished because of poor planning would invite the scorn of the whole village.  Likewise a king who decided to wage a war against an opponent who was much stronger, would be considered foolish if he did not come up with a plan that had a decent chance of success.

Jesus tells his would-be disciples that they, too, must count the cost if they want to succeed as his disciples. Jesus assures success for those willing to pay the price. All it cost is everything! What does Jesus have to offer that's worth giving up everything else? More than we can imagine! Jesus offers the gift of abundant life and everlasting peace and happiness with God. (See the parable of the treasure hidden in the field and the pearl of great price in Matthew 13:44-45).  It's natural to ask what it's going to cost before you sign up or pay for something. Jesus was utterly honest and spared no words to tell his disciples that it would cost them dearly to follow after him.  There can be no room for compromise or concession with God.  We either give our lives over to him completely or we keep them for ourselves.  Paul the Apostle says, "We are not our own.  We were bought with a price" ( 1 Cor. 6:19b,20).  That price is the blood of Jesus shed for us on the cross.

Jesus knew that the way of the cross was the Father's way to glory and victory over sin and death.  He counted the cost and said "yes" to his Father's will.  We, too, must "count the cost" and be ready to follow Jesus in the way of the cross if we want to share in his glory and victory.  What is the "way of the cross" for you and for me?  When my will crosses with God's will, then his will must be done.  The way of the cross involves sacrifice, the sacrifice of laying down my life each and every day for Jesus' sake.  What makes such sacrifice possible and "sweet" for us is the love of God poured out for us in the blood of Jesus Christ. Paul the Apostle reminds us that "God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit" (Romans 5:5). We can never outgive God.  He always gives us more than we can expect or imagine. Do you allow the Holy Spirit to fill your heart with the love of God?

The love of God compels us to choose who or what will be first in our lives.  To place any relationship or any possession above God is a form of idolatry.  Jesus challenges his disciples to examine who they love first.  Jesus' way to glory and power is opposite the world's way of glory and power.  The choice is ours, but the Lord does not leave us alone if we choose to follow him.   Does the love of Christ compel you to put God first in all you do (see 2 Cor. 5)?

"Lord, may your love consume me and transform my life that I may truly desire nothing more than life with you.  Help me to count the cost and to joyfully embrace the cross for your sake."

Where do the wars and where do the conflicts among you come from? Is it not from your passions that make war within your members? You covet but do not possess. You kill and envy but you cannot obtain; you fight and wage war. You do not possess because you do not ask. You ask but do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.

-James 4:1-3


These words could easily be speaking about the current economic, social, and political climate in the United States (or in most other Western countries) right now.  Our passions divide us.  We are separated by our own self-seeking interests.  It is an "every man for himself" kind of world.

We may get what we wanted or desired in the short term, but in the long term, a society builty on selfish desires is doomed to fail.  Corruption and deceit will eventually reign supreme.

It doesn't have to be this way.

In Matthew 7:7, we read the famous verse, "Ask and it will be given to you...", but as St. James tells us, it will not be given to us if it is only for our own desires and passions.  Jesus is not a magic genie here to fulfill our every wish.

If you pay attention to what St. James is saying, it is not that we ask that is the problem, it is the motivation behind it.  We need to stop focusing on only ourselves.  We will benefit more from the greater good than our own ability to provide for our individual needs.

United we stand?  Not if it gets in the way of our own desires.  We need to change the way we think, the way we act, and the way we treat others, or someday, it will all come tumbling down.

If we have good ideas or good desires but lack strength to put them into practice, we must present them to God with a firm hope that He will help us. Certainly, if we place all our confidence in Divine Goodness, the Lord will not fail to grant whatever is necessary to persevere in His service.

(Sermons 61; O. IX, p. 310)

October 11

If at times we are tempted to be vain in seeing the grace of God conferred on us, it will be an infallible remedy to consider our own ingratitude, imperfection and misery. If we reflect on how we behaved when God was not with us, we will easily understand that what we do when He is with us is not the result of our own efforts. We will certainly be happy with what we have done, but we will give the glory to God.

(INT. Part III, Ch. 5; O. III, p. 146)

There is no hidden meaning in the quote, and it was not meant for you, Balong. The quote talks about the hypocrisy of women's choice in men. In the quest to find love, the men they choose are filled with imperfections and cowardice. It points out the two edged sword that is love.
