"To Do Good and Communicate": Hebrews 13:16 But to do good and communicate and forget not for with such sacrifice God is well pleased.
Excursions in Exegesis
by: H. Fred Nofer
© 2001 All Rights Reserved Browse Guest Columnists
Topics:Priesthood of the Believer
Texts: Philippians 4:18, 1 Peter 2:5-9, Revelation 1:6
The Christian's Sacrifice
As a matter-of-fact, the New Testament specifically tells believers today that we, all of us, are priests to the Lord (I Peter 2:5, 9; Rev. 1:6) and, actually, as priests of the Lord, there are five sacrifices specifically identified which are our duty and privilege to offer to Him. For instance, in the familiar passage, Romans 12:1, we are besought by the Lord through the Apostle Paul to "present our bodies a living sacrifice" to God. He does not ask us necessarily to die for Him, though this has been and may still be the case for many believers, but He does ask us to live for Him daily. He explains how in verse 2. Also Hebrews 13:15 we are told to "offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name." Here is a minute by minute sacrifice that true Christians today are to make to the Lord constantly. How many other things cross those lips instead of praise and thanksgiving?
The third sacrifice believers today are told to present to the Lord is found in the very next verse: to "do good and communicate." The NASB has "doing good and sharing" and, Paul adds, "with such sacrifices God is pleased." Doing good should be a characteristic of believers in Christ. A fourth sacrifice is recorded in Philippians 4:18 where Paul speaks of the monetary gift the Philippians had sent to him. He confirms that it was received and says that it is "a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God." One of the sacrifices a believer is to offer to the Lord today is his money.
The final sacrifice mentioned in the New Testament that believers are to make to the Lord is also found in Philippians but in chapter 2 and verse 17: "...the sacrifice and service of your faith." Our life of faith and trust and belief in Him is a sacrifice that brings glory to God and peace to us.
These, then, are the five spiritual sacrifices we believers ought to be continually offering to the Lord every day as expressions of our positions as spiritual priests of the living God and our worship of Him.
The Sacrifice of Service
Lest we get spiritual and think we are only to go around thanking God all day, God gave Hebrews 13:16: But to do good and communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
God is well pleased with active service and communication with others on his behalf. Ouch. That's going to cost a little more, huh? Don't worry, with all of God's requirements He gives us a measure of faith to live them out.
A Sermon by Charles Chauncy
The Opening Words
Prepared by Leesa Cross
The Idle-Poor secluded from the Bread of Charity by the Christian Law.
Thessalon 3.10-This we commanded you; that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
The Law of Love, is in a singular and distinguishing Manner, the Law of Christianity. This is MY commandment, says our Saviour, that ye love one another. And again, a NEW Commandment give I unto you, that ye love another. And yet again, By THIS shall all Man know that ye are my Disciples, if ye have love one to another. And by this were the first Christians distinguised from other Man, and known to be the Disciples of Jesus Christ. And they discovered their Benevolence, not in Word only, neither in Tongue, but in Deed and in Truth; never forgetting to do good and communicate, as they had Opportunity. They did not judge, they could ever do too much, in a Way of Charity, for the Relief of the poor and needy.
And of Inconvenience, one would think, could arise from the Liberalities in which they abounded. And yet, it was owing to this, in part at least, that among those who took upon them the Name of Christians, there were some who indulged in Idleness; wither not working at all, or not with a becoming Diligence.
Of this Character there seems to have been a considerable Number among the Christians at Thessalonica. The extraordinary Charities, common in that Day, might encourage those, who were before disposed to be idle, to neglect the Business of their proper Callings. The Hope of having their Wants supplied, by the Bounties of their Christian Friends and Neighbors, might insensibly slack their Diligence, and betray them into an indolent inactive way of Life.

"Quakers & 19th Century Reform," by J. William Frost
James and Lucretia Mott he prominent role that Quakers played in calling and attending the 1848 Seneca Falls meeting on women’s rights is an example of the importance of members of the Religious Society of Friends in nineteenth-century reforms. Between 1750 and 1830 Friends pioneered American reform movements on slavery, temperance, peace, asylums, penitentiaries, public education, and native-American (Indian) rights. Their activities in the women’s movement should be seen as growing out of earlier reform activities, particularly anti-slavery.
The beliefs and practices of the Society of Friends served to facilitate women’s roles in moral reform. Since the founding of the sect in England during the 1650s, Quakers had insisted upon the spiritual equality of women. Quaker women preached, published tracts, and traveled in a kind of itinerant ministry. Men and women worshipped together, but conducted business in separate meetings. Women in these meetings presided, kept minutes and accounts, and wrote official correspondence to the men’s and other women’s meetings.

Document 2: Josephine Griffing Petition to Congress, May 1864, HR38A-G10.5, Records of the House of Representatives, RG 233, National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, D.C.
Introduction
Petitioning was one of the only political outlets for women, as they were denied the right to vote. Anti-slavery women undertook massive petition campaigns before and during the Civil War calling for the abolition of slavery. Josephine Griffing continued the tradition with this petition to the House of Representatives, which asked that Northern and Western women be given special responsibility during the war for the care and education of freedwomen and children. Griffing believed that women would better understand the needs of freedwomen and she envisioned women acting as ministers, teachers, doctors, and providing for the general welfare of these former slaves. She hoped that Congress would give women's work in the freedmen's aid movement governmental approval.
THIS MEMORIAL,
Representing a large number of the Women of the Republic, who see before your honorable body proposed legislation, looking to the recognition of the manhood of the millions of American people, heretofore slaves in this nation, but now, by the Government made free; aware that the Government is at present burdened, and the men of our country over-taxed with labor and care, necessarily imposed upon those not called into the army.
Your memorialists, women of the North and North-West, pray that you will allow us to share more fully in the responsibility and labor, so remarkably laid upon the Government and the men of the North, in the care and education of these freedmen.
Government having called the able-bodied men from this emancipated race into the service of the country, their women and children are necessarily exposed and unprotected, and demand and must receive, from the hands of Government, through its appointed agents, such aid as their transmission from slavery to freedom under the above named circumstances demands.
These Freedmen's Associations being composed mainly of women and children, whose wants and necessities are fully understood by your memorialists, we ask you to commission us through competent agents to visit these associations to ascertain their condition; to raise funds in the North to supply their needs; to select teachers who are qualified to instruct in all branches of practical education, both of mind and of womanhood--aiming at the direct development of self -reliance and self support, and appoint them to certain associations and specific work; to provide physicians for their hospitals, of either women or men, who are qualified to treat disease on the most safe and natural system, according to the judgement of your memorialists; and to send to them ministers, either men or women, who can simplify religious instruction to the comprehension of those so lately escaping from centuries of gross ignorance, not only of the principles of religion, but of the art of reading--in short, to look after, and secure the general welfare of these women and children of the freedmen, associated in the various States of the South and West, where they are now, or may be hereafter appointed by the Government to remain.
Your memorialists pray further, that you will grant us such commission at the earliest practicable moment, that we may offer the necessary inducement to organization for this specific work, and be able from your commission to give transport to teachers, ministers and physicians, as well as necessary supplies of clothing for these associations, already suffering for want of attention and the common comforts of life.
In behalf of the country whose imperious calls for labor and self-sacrifice appeal to all her citizens; and in behalf of our sisters so long held in bondage by chattel slavery in this country.
Yours Respectfully,
JOSEPHINE S. GRIFFING
[with 33 signatures]
Note: One issue raised by Griffing is the need for total support for Freedmen, and this caused a backlash (see the project). Do the Chase sisters take a different approach in the later stages, or are they simply resigned to the change, or is there something else going on?
Introduction states: "But even the issue of education did not open the pockets of the North. The Philadelphia Friends' Association for the Aid and Elevation of the Freedmen, of which Lucretia Mott was a member, was forced to close all its schools in Virginia in 1870 and could barely afford to keep ten teachers in the South" Is this how Mott knows Lucy and/or Sarah Chase? Do they know one another directly or do they know OF one another?
