The Public Health Christian Fellowship at JHSPH

Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship, Paul writes,  But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.  In the Scriptures we see many exhortations to stand firm in the Lord, to walk in step with the Spirit, to fear not, to trust, to run the race. But, dear ones, do you see how all these actions are our response to the transforming work of Christ in us, who has claimed us as his people and is making us more like him each day? Praying this morning that you hold tight to Jesus and that you remember that you are his beloved and that he has given you people around the world who you can call your brothers and sisters. (And praying for those of you taking the biostats exam this morning, and for thos

Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship, Sorry this email is coming so late tonight! Just wanted to  share a song  and a verse to meditate on this week -- may we be like Simon Peter, who when asked if he "want[ed] to go away as well", replied to Jesus: "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life" (Jn 6:68). Dear ones, praying that this week you seek first his kingdom and hold tight to Jesus as the only way, truth, and life, in the midst of pressures from school and work. This week's events in the SPH: Wednesday 12:15pm,   Room W2033.  A time of testimony sharing and prayer. Thursday 12noon John Bible study, Room W9514 . See point 3 below. Saturday 6pm Thanksgiving celebration, 3501 N Charles St.  Join us for an outreach event on Nov 17, 6-9pm, at the University Baptist Church (across the street from Homewood campus). The program includes worship, dinner, Thanksgiving story, and dessert.  Register here.  (Whether or not you can co

[Sorry I forgot to post this last Tues 11/6...] Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship, Paul wrote to the Romans,  Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous  (5:18-19). What a gift is this union we have with Christ - that though through our humanity we all have tasted the bitterness of sin and death, we are counted righteous by Jesus' obedience unto the cross. Dear ones, will you look away from yourselves and towards Jesus as savior again today? (If today you feel the tension of neighborly love, political engagement through voting, and the Kingdom that is already-but-not-yet,  read about the common rule here : it's a refreshing way to rebuild habits and remember values.)
