Looking Up
- 2. Perspective and Perception • Perspective – Perspective is literally the place from where you look at things. • Perception - Perception is your deductions from your perspective.
- 3. Worship Perspective • Looking at life from your knees • 1Ki 18:37-39 NLT O LORD, answer me! Answer me so these people will know that You, O LORD, are God and that You have brought them back to Yourself." 38 Immediately the fire of the LORD flashed down from heaven and burned up the young bull, the wood, the stones, and the dust. It even licked up all the water in the trench! 39 And when all the people saw it, they fell face down on the ground and cried out, "The LORD--He is God! Yes, the LORD is God!"
- 4. Godly Perspective • Time – Eternal Perspective • Ecc 3:11 NLT Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end.
- 5. Godly Perspective • Position – Heavenly Perspective • Eph 2:6 NLT For He raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus.
- 6. • The view of the Earth from the Moon fascinated me—a small disk, 240,000 miles away. It was hard to think that that little thing held so many problems, so many frustrations. Raging nationalistic interests, famines, wars, pestilence don't show from that distance. - Frank Borman, Apollo 8 • It's tiny out there...it's inconsequential. It's ironic that we had come to study the Moon and it was really discovering the Earth. - Bill Anders, Apollo 8
- 7. Godly Perspective •Attitude – Loving Perspective • Phip 2:5-6 NLT You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 6 Though He was God, He did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.
- 8. Godly Perspective • Time – Eternal Perspective • Position – Heavenly Perspective •Attitude – Loving Perspective
- 9. It is in worship that we assume the best positon from which to gain the true perspective of life. From this perspective we can then develop the right perceptions about all things.

- They went to the Moon, but ended up discovering the Earth. The crew of Apollo 8 were the first people to leave Earth's orbit and pass behind the far side of the Moon. They had been drilled and trained for just about every eventuality, save one – the awe-inspiring sight of seeing our own planet hanging over an empty lunar horizon. It later became known as "Earthrise" and the image of the world rising in the dark vastness of space over a sun-lit lunar landscape became an iconic reminder of our lonely planet's splendid isolation and delicate fragility. The image was captured during Christmas Eve 1968 but the photographs themselves appeared for the first time in print 40 years ago this week. It was an image that would eventually launch a thousand environmental movements, such was its impact on the public consciousness. The three-man crew of Apollo 8 – Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders – were carrying out the necessary groundwork for the later manned landing on the Moon and were the first people to orbit the Moon, flying around the far side which is not visible from Earth. They were also in effect the first people to lose complete contact with their own planet, not being able to see or radio Earth for the duration of their journey behind the Moon. It was only when they completed the orbit that they could regain contact. Sir Fred Hoyle, the great British cosmologist, rightly predicted in 1948 that the first images of Earth from space would change forever our view of our own planet. "Earthrise" encapsulated the fragility of a place that seems so immense to the people who live there, but so tiny when viewed from the relatively short distance of its natural satellite.

(from http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/forty-years-since-the-first-picture-of-earth-from-space-1297569.html) Never in all their history have men been able truly to conceive of the world as one: a single sphere, a globe, having the qualities of a globe, a round earth in which all the directions eventually meet, in which there is no center because every point, or none, is center — an equal earth which all men occupy as equals. The airman's earth, if free men make it, will be truly round: a globe in practice, not in theory. — Archibald MacLeish, 'The Image of Victory,' commencement address, Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusetts, May 1942, ater published in A Time to Act, 1943. Twenty-five years later MacLeish would write again of this view, but this time it would be published on the front page of the New York Times with a photograph as illustration.
