16 いつも喜んでいなさい。
17 絶えず祈りなさい。
18 すべてのことについて、感謝しなさい。
これが、キリスト・イエスにあって、
神があなたがたに望んでおられることです。
● 聖書的な枠組み
「聖書は、まことの唯一の神についての一つの物語である。」
— フラン・シャッカ
● 感謝の二つの重要な領域
1. 私自身について
私が何者であるか
詩篇 139:13–14
13 あなたは、私の内臓を造り、
母の胎のうちで、私を組み立ててくださいました。
14 私は、感謝します。あなたは、私を驚くべき、恐ろしいほどに
素晴らしく造られました。
あなたのみわざは不思議です。
私のたましいは、それをよく知っています。
私が誰を映し出しているか
創世記 1:27
27 神は人をご自身の形として創造された。
神の形としてこれを創造し、
男と女に彼らを創造された。
2. イエスについて
エペソ人への手紙 1:7–10
7 私たちは、この御子のうちにあって、その血による贖い、
罪の赦しを受けています。これは、神の豊かな恵みによることです。
8 神はこの恵みを、あらゆる知恵と英知をもって、
私たちの上にあふれさせてくださいました。
9 それは、神がキリストにあってあらかじめお立てになった
ご自身の御旨という、御心の奥義を、
私たちに知らせてくださったのです。
10 それは、時が満ちるに及んで実現されることでした。
すなわち、天にあるものも地にあるものもいっさいを、
キリストにあって一つに集めることです。
2コリント 5:21
21 神は、罪を知らない方を私たちのために罪とされました。
それは、私たちがこの方にあって、
神の義となるためです。

2 Key Areas for Gratitude
Myself

The Road to Shalom"WANTED: Raiders of the Lost Arc" There's been a lot of taking, writing, and shouting about the "right side" and "wrong side" of history, and which "side" you should be on. It strikes me a bit odd that many believers have accepted this false idea of history and who controls it. People believe that history has an arc, and that it can be bent by the efforts of humanity. History does in fact have an arc, but I'm afraid the believing community has fallen prey to error because we've lost our ability to truly "tell time." In this final episode of 2021, we're going on a provo...

The Road to Shalom"Are Peace-Keeping and Peace-Making Synonyms?" Do you see yourself as a "peace-maker" or a "peace-keeper"? What difference would it make if you got this right? Or wrong? In any worldview that believes peace-keeping should be the priority, change is viewed with suspicion. Even change in the right direction. Threats to our personal peace and way of life—if uniformed by the purposes of God—result in us fighting for what's important to us, rather than what matters most to God. In this sixth and final interview with shalom-makers, Fran interviews his oldest son Ben, a veteran in peace-making in his own right. Ben's twenty yea...

The Road to Shalom"How Old Should You Be Before You Hop On The Road To Shalom?" Shalom is the "way things are supposed to be"…everywhere…among everyone…all the time. It's absence is what's wrong with the world. But because the whole idea of shalom is foreign to us as believers, we don't naturally ask life questions within its frame of reference. For example, do you think there are places where it's "more absent" than in other places? Or more absent among some people groups than others? How old should you be before you can understand shalom for yourself? Is there a difference between a road of shalom and the road to shalom?

The Road to Shalom[REPLAY] "What Does It Look Like To Restore Shalom?" One of the things I've come to realize, after 51 years on the "Jesus Road," is that the Bible is new every morning. It's an example of a not so famous saying by Buddy Hinton in Kee Sloan's book, Jabbok: "The more I learn this, the truer it gets." In an age of glance, swipe and poke, hearing or reading something more than once is actually a good thing…because it's also a God thing. With that intro, I want to tell/alert you to the fact that this episode is the only interview I ever did on the Road...

The Road to Shalom"What Do 800 Children Per Day Have in Common With the Dead Sea?" If one of your older Bibles has maps in the back, you'll notice that this image doesn't match the Dead Sea in your Bible. That's because the water from the Jordan River is being syphoned off for irrigation before it reaches the Dead Sea. And as a result, Dead Sea is becoming "deader" for lack of water. It's become two separate bodies of water, one of which is disappearing. In this third shalom-makers interview, you'll meet a longtime friend of Hands of Hur and our family. Matt Letourneau has done more with his life in four decades than so...

The Road to Shalom"Are You Willing To Be A Drink Offering?" In this second interview with shalom-makers—men and women who see themselves as agents of shalom because they're beneficiaries of grace—Fran introduces Sarah Jackson. The product of a turbulent childhood in a loving home, she found herself being drawn to those we have marginalized, even forgotten, in our ceaseless pursuit of the next new thing. Sarah is a hospice nurse. Even though for most of us, pursuing Sarah's shalomic passion is unlikely, I promise you'll discover that the implications from this provocative interview will motivate you to say or do something for someone that you've known for a long time...

The Road to ShalomCan God Use My Pain to Restore Shalom? This is the first of a series of interviews with shalom-makers who've learned to live on the flip-side because they understand the front-side of theology. Tracy Hipps' childhood was horrific and traumatic. Yet, he discovered that his own pain made him empathetic rather than merely pathetic and angry. He found his greatest joy in giving away rather than getting even. You'll find hope and encouragement for your own life by paying attention to the obvious healing and good fruit that comes from pursuing shalom for others' lives rather than lamenting or focusing on its absence in your own.

The Road to Shalom4D Theology #5 - "What's the Point of My Sanctification?" You've probably heard a Christian described as someone who's "going to heaven when they die," because they "invited Jesus into their hearts." It's a pleasant thought. But, it's also incorrect. It reduces salvation and faith to two points on a line, one at the beginning and one at the end. Unfortunately, it leaves out the line itself! A person's entire life on earth. What happens during that "in between" time is important to God. In fact, He has a plan to make us less like Adam and more like Jesus. We call it sanctification. That's what God wants to do. H...

The Road to Shalom4D Theology #4 - "What Does My Righteousness Have to do With Shalom?"Why do you think Yeshua spoke about "doing" righteousness? Why did the prophet Amos talk about righteousness rolling down like "an ever-flowing stream"? Why would Paul tell a young pastor, a beneficiary of Christ's righteousness, to "pursue righteousness," and that the Scriptures are "profitable for...training in righteousness"? Maybe it's time that we mature beyond our one and two-dimensional views of righteousness—the ones that bend us towards self-righteousness, and examine the relationship between righteousness and shalom. This episode will be a great beginning on that wonderful journey.

The Road to Shalom4D Theology #3 - "Is God's Grace Bi-directional?" There’s an unspoken question staring us right in the face on at least thirteen pages of our Bible. Why do you think the Apostle Paul opened each of his letters with a sort of a Hebrew blessing, “grace to you and peace from God our Father…”? Why would Paul ask God to give his listeners two things they already had?— “Grace” from God, and “peace” with God? In particular, what could possibly prompt Paul to pray that God would multiply grace to sinners already justified by grace? Maybe at least part of what makes grace so "amazing," are the other dimensions...

The Road to Shalom4D Theology #2 - "Peace-Taking Should Produce Peace-Making" The "Peace Movement"—if there really is such a thing—did not originate with the Sixties youth culture. It's as old as the heart of God Himself. In fact, it's at the very center of His purposes. That means "peace" is an enormous word in the One Story of the One God. Paul used the word over forty times in his letters. He wrote the Greek word for peace, eirēnē, but his mind was marinating in something more ancient. Something with a couple thousand years of meaning behind it. Paul was thinking, “shalom,” one of the most beautiful words in...

The Road to Shalom4D Theology #1 - "Sin is Much Bigger Than Guilt" Do you know who's image is on the front of a $100 bill? Lots of folks do. How about the back? You probably didn't do as well on that one. It's odd, because the back of the $100 bill is more colorful and the numbers are bigger. So, why don't we know? Most likely because we're comfortable knowing just the front. For many of us in the faith community—perhaps most—we tend to take the same approach to our understanding of faith and its practice. We end up trying to make a 2-dimensional faith provide understanding and meaning in a 3-dimens...

The Road to ShalomIs Your Bookmark Stuck? When it comes to the One Story of the One God, unfortunately, many believers have their bookmark stuck in the wrong place. They've know some of the Story, but not the whole Story. And as a result, there are counterfeit stories that captivate some of us. Drawing on his metaphor of a Five Act Play from the previous two episodes, Fran explores what happens when we get stuck at the wrong spot in God's Story, and lose track of why we're still here, even though our eternal destiny is secure. What does God want us to do while we wai...

The Road to Shalom"What's the story on the One Story?" If someone were to ask you, "What is the Bible?" How would you respond? Would you say, "It's the Word of God"? What if they asked you another question, like, "About what?" What would you say then? Our perspective on the Bible not only determines what we think about it. It dictates what we do with it, and why. Is the Bible really an anthology of books and letters? Or is it a textbook of sorts, with answers to all life's conudrums? The source of a distinctly "Christian worldview"? Or perhaps it's a handbook, a sort of "disciplopedia" on how...

The Road to Shalom"Is God Weaning His People?" The people of God have had a perennial problem trying to discover a sense of identity within the cultures they have found themselves throughout history. They have, in the words of Fran Sciacca, often "resembled a cast of characters in search of a plot." And when the road in search of a plot ran dry, more often than not, they settled for an agenda rather than a plot. Or worse, chose a plot that served their own purposes. In this premier episode for 2021, Fran suggests that American evangelicalism has become more of a nursery of infants living on milk...

The Road to ShalomAre We In the "Last Days?" There's so much happening so fast, in so many places, to so many people it seems like the world's coming to an end. People of faith have always wondered if their generation would be the one that witnessed the return of Christ. There's nothing new about asking that question. In this episode, Fran walks us into this question through what he calls, "the side door." Instead of the “ front door” of world events, world leaders, and world economies, Fran explores what the Bible says will characterize Christians in the "last days," rather than what will characterize the world.

What’s the difference between systematic theology and biblical theology? What do all these things have to do with you? Well…if you want your gospel to be the whole gospel, you might have to find first if it’s the hole gospel._______________________________________OTHER RESOURCES BY FRAN SCIACCA:"What's Wrong With...

The Road to Shalom"What Color Is Your Passport?" Fifty years ago, Richard Bolles wrote a book designed to help people find their way into the world of work. It was called, What Color is Your Parachute? The book has sold over 10 million copies in 22 languages. And...it has been updated 48 times since. Once each year, since 1975. Finding a career in a changing world apparently is a challenge. Unfortunately, many people seem to find themselves in the same dilemma regarding their own sense of identity. It has become accessorized. Something that has to be "updated" frequently, to fit what everyone else is saying about themselves. But what if w...

I don’t think God wants us to miss the point, at just the time when He’s trying to make one. Life will be different after the pandemic. Will we? Will you? We don’t have to social distance with God. He’s not sick, and what we have, He can’t catch.**(the name of the...

In the words of The Fifth Dimension, "harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding, no more falsehoods or derisions, mystic crystal revelations and the mind's true liberation." Surely the best days were ahead! Woodstock was proof. Yet, five years later they were singing, "ashes to ashes, dust to dust, we'll never be the same, we're all forgiven because we're only living to leave the way we came." What happened?

It's insidious because it violates our privacy and our security. We go to great means to prevent others from stealing what rightfully belongs to us — our unique identity. Did you know that's happening to us as believers too? We have lost our unique identity as Christ-followers. But, the tragedy in this case, is that it wasn't a theft. It was a gift. We've simply given it away in exchange for our own security and safet...

The Road to ShalomWhat Does God Think of Thanksgiving? In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. But, it wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November. So, this Thursday, most Americans will continue that tradition…namely of setting aside a single day in the year to be thankful. But did you know that God has a lot to say about this whole idea of thanksgiving? In fact, His thoughts regarding what thanksgiving is, and wh...
