Boldly Going
Many of us grew up watching the original Star Trek TV series with William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. Though only running for a few years, it became a cult hit and spun off TV series, multiple movies, and now a new generation of Star Trek films. The concept began in the mind of Gene Roddenberry in 1960. Rather than Captain Kirk, his original lead role was to be named Robert April, with the first officer known as Number One. Mr. Spock was to be a red-hued, satanic-looking person. Things changed.
Walking in Gods way as Christs followers so that those in our sphere of influence will know Him as the true God.
Divorce Recovery
Before the first episode, entitled Where No Man Has Gone Before, could be filmed, they first had to deal not with an attack by Klingons, but with wasps which had nested on the set. Shatner did not have a shield but suffered a direct hit on the eyelid. Filming was grounded. In the first year of the series, they were contacted by three research organizations demanding to know how they obtained information on secret devises already under development. Just this past week, a medical scanner similar to that used in Star Trek was featured in USA Today, named Scanadu. Of course, the scientists are still working out the kinks. Discipleship is boldly going where Jesus leads. Our new adult summer series on Wednesdays is That the World May Know. We can walk in Gods way, not exploring new planets, but discovering the will of God from the Biblical context of scripture and communicated through our teachers and the fascinating, on location filming in Israel of Ray Vander Laan. We will learn to boldly get outside of ourselves on a weekly basis through some missional projects. We will join with other Christian explorers each week to discuss and pray together. The Star Trek scanning device was called a medical tricorder, which Dr. McCoy used as he waved it over a sick Starfleet person to determine ailments. Your key spiritual health metrics are read by how much you love the Word of God, desire fellowship with others, grow and learn as a disciple of Christ, and long to be with the people of God in worship. Your vital signs will always point to the need for new growth and understanding. After all, Jesus promised to give us not only eternal life, but also abundant life (John 10:10). I pray that His phaser of conviction will jolt us out of our apathy. May all of us not only live long and prosper but fulfill the desire of John: I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health just as your soul prospers (3 John 2).
