Sandra Thigpen, assistant senior chaplain of Forsyth Jail and Prison Ministries, said at a training seminar recently at Galilee Mis sionary Baptist Church. She went on to give practical tips to people interested in volun teering for jail and prison min istries: Areas of focus for imnates • Honesty - It is imperative that jail ministry volunteers impress upon offenders the need to be hon est before God. Being honest about our emotions requires con tinuous self-examination, without which there is little possibility of significant growth. • Discipline - Only discipline permits the spiritual nurturing that transforms people. Meditation, prayer, study and worship become superficial or nonexistent activities when there is no time allotted for them. Inmates need to know that discipline is essential for all aspects of life, including their spirituality. • Objectivity - The church must continue to do its part to improve relationships between people with different beliefs and help stimulate personal growth. • Realistic expectations - Pris oners are inclined to expect too Tonya Tate, left, a deaconess at prison ministry workshop. much from other people, which can ultimately cause distress. The incarcerated tend to have unrealis tic expectations of family mem bers, friends, government agencies and institutions. But prisoners can be led toward realistic goals and expectations with the church serv ing as guide and supporter. • Understanding change - Few offenders understand change as something positive. Understand- Photo by Paul Collins Galilee Missionary Baptist Church, listens intently during the jail and ing change is crucial for inmates, all of whom live in the midst of extreme instability. Inmate stressors • Socialization. “Their life comes to a halt” when they enter prison, Thigpen said. “Everything is governed by the clock and police.” • Loss of free will and control. “They’re told when to get up, when to go to bed, when to do laundry,” Thigpen said. • Low self-esteem - Prisoners usually don’t get respect, and may react negatively. • Relational loss - Some pris oners’ families have abandoned them, so they think, “Why should I trust you?” Thigpen said. • Personal guilt. • Living conditions (noise. See Prison ministry on B7 God is greater than a building, no matter the cost Mildred Peppers iSn Sunday .. ^ School Lesson Lesson Scripture: 1 Kings 6: 37,38; 8:22, 27-30: 9:1-5 Lesson Aims: to review the con struction and dedication of the temple, to understand that honor ing God is more than a building and to encourage true worship. Background: Once David estab lished Jerusalem as the capital city, recovered the Ark of the Covenant, and built a palace, his desire was to build a “permanent house” for God (review the Oct. 29 lesson). God told David that he was not to build; one of his sons would. I Chronicles 22:7,8 explained why David wasn’t to build. The leadership of Israel was passed to Solomon last week. God granted Solomon his heart’s desire - wisdom. Further along in I Kings 3:16- 28 we saw the evidence of the “gift from God” in dealing with the child being claimed by two women. In chapter 4, Solomon expanded his father’s administration and the kingdom prospered. God gave him wisdom and a breadth of under standing as measureless as the sand on the seashore. Solomon’s intellec tual achievements multiplied as well. He wrote many proverbs and songs and became a botanist and a zoologist. Chapter 5 recorded his prepara tions to build the temple. Out of all of his accomplishments, this con struction will surpass the others. The tabernacle had served as the center of worship from Moses to David. It was Solomon’s task to build a permanent one. The temple was built on the northeast hill of the city. The floor plan was like the tabernacle. “The rectangular building had a porch, a name with an inner sanctuary (Holy of Holies). It was twice the size of the tabernacle (Oxford Companion of the Bible). It was from stone, paneled with cedar and overlaid with gold. This structure used more than 180,000 laborers. According to “Richard’s Complete Bible Handbook,” it cost almost $3 billion. Lesson: It takes seven years to complete the project and 13 years to build a place. Chapter 8 opens with the ark being brought into the temple. With great pomp and cir cumstance it is placed in the Holy Place and the priests withdraw. The cloud fills the temple (God is pre sent) and Solomon delivers a ser mon recounting their history up to the present. He prays a prayer of dedication, calling for the people to be committed to the Lord and His decrees. The end of this prayer reminds me of Joshua’s plea to the people in Joshua 24: 14, 15. More sacrifices are offered with great rejoicing. Afterward, God comes to him to put his seal of approval on all that has been done. Second, He restates the covenant made with David. Even though David sinned, God views him as having walked in “integrity of heart and upright ness.” Solomon, having done what God wanted, is also expected to walk in the same path along with his sons. Application: Having been given the gift of wisdom, Solomon real izes that God is too awesome to be confined to a building (8:27). Do we know that well? Solomon seeks God’s approval and gets it because of his obedience. Commitment is what God dearly wants. Giving God your best for the right reasons is important. Lots of churches have built or are in some stage of build ing. The structures are grand and beautiful but when Jesus returns. He isn’t coming for the bricks! Our worship must be sincere. If our hearts are not right, it is for naught. Unfortunately our worship becomes a ritual for entertainment if we aren’t careful. Superficial ritu al means nothing to God because we must remember that He knows the heart! God is greater than a building, no matter the cost and time put into it. Buildings decay but our love for and commitment to Him shouldn’t.
