Forgot Forgiven

(Zephaniah 1:7-16) Be silent in the presence of the Almighty LORD, because the day of the LORD is near. The LORD has prepared a sacrifice. He has invited his special guests. "On the day of the LORD'S sacrifice I will punish the officials, the king's sons, and all who dress in foreign clothing. On that day I will punish all who jump over the doorway and all who fill their master's house with violence and deception.

Good Word for a Bad Time

(Psalm 70:1-5) For the choir director; by David; to be kept in mind. Come quickly to rescue me, O God! Come quickly to help me, O LORD! Let those who seek my life be confused and put to shame. Let those who want my downfall be turned back and disgraced. Let those who say, "Aha! Aha!" be turned back because of their own shame. Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad because of you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, "God is great!" But I am oppressed and needy. O God, come t ...

(Revelation 7:9-17) After these things I saw a large crowd from every nation, tribe, people, and language. No one was able to count how many people there were. They were standing in front of the throne and the lamb. They were wearing white robes, holding palm branches in their hands, and crying out in a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the lamb!" All the angels stood around the throne with the leaders and the four living creatures. They bowed in fron ...

So those who are believers in Christ Jesus can no longer be condemned. The standards of the Spirit, who gives life through Christ Jesus, have set you free from the standards of sin and death. It is impossible to do what God's standards demand because of the weakness our human nature has. But God sent his Son to have a human nature as sinners have and to pay for sin. That way God condemned sin in our corrupt nature. Therefore, we, who do not live by our corrupt nature but by our spiritual na ...

More than you expected

Always think about Jesus Christ. He was brought back to life and is a descendant of David. This is the Good News that I tell others. I'm suffering disgrace for spreading this Good News. I have even been put into prison like a criminal. However, God's word is not imprisoned. For that reason, I endure everything for the sake of those who have been chosen so that they, too, may receive salvation from Christ Jesus with glory that lasts forever. This is a statement that can be trusted: If we hav ...

Rest on Christ the King (LWML Sunday)

On that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city. Its walls and fortifications provide safety. Open the gates, and let the righteous nation come in, the nation that remains faithful. With perfect peace you will protect those whose minds cannot be changed, because they trust you. Trust the LORD always, because the LORD, the LORD alone, is an everlasting rock. (Isaiah 26:1-4, GWV)

Don't get too comfortable

How horrible it will be for those who are at ease in Zion, for those who feel secure on the mountain of Samaria, and for the heads of the leading nations, to whom the nation of Israel comes. Go to Calneh and look. Go from there to the great city of Hamath. Then go to Gath, the city of the Philistines. Are you better than these kingdoms? Is their territory larger than yours? How horrible it will be for those who think that a day of disaster is far away. They bring the reign of violence close ...

It makes a difference

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "A rich man had a business manager. The manager was accused of wasting the rich man's property. So the rich man called for his manager and said to him, 'What's this I hear about you? Let me examine your books. It's obvious that you can't manage my property any longer.' "The manager thought, 'What should I do? My master is taking my job away from me. I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg. I know what I'll do so that people will welcome me into ...

You Can't Pay for a Gift

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord that he has trusted me and has appointed me to do his work with the strength he has given me. In the past I cursed him, persecuted him, and acted arrogantly toward him. However, I was treated with mercy because I acted ignorantly in my unbelief. Our Lord was very kind to me. Through his kindness he brought me to faith and gave me the love that Christ Jesus shows people. This is a statement that can be trusted and deserves complete acceptance: Christ Jesus came ...

Which Way Did He Go?

Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers; But his delight is in Yahweh's law; On his law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper. The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgme ...

Continue to love each other. Don't forget to show hospitality to believers you don't know. By doing this some believers have shown hospitality to angels without being aware of it.

Parable of the Rich Fool

Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to give me my share of the inheritance that our father left us." Jesus said to him, "Who appointed me to be your judge or to divide your inheritance?" He told the people, "Be careful to guard yourselves from every kind of greed. Life is not about having a lot of material possessions." Then he used this illustration. He said, "A rich man had land that produced good crops. He thought, 'What should I do?

So the disciples went back home. Mary, however, stood there and cried as she looked at the tomb. As she cried, she bent over and looked inside. She saw two angels in white clothes. They were sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying. One angel was where Jesus' head had been, and the other was where his feet had been. The angels asked her why she was crying. Mary told them, "They have removed my Lord, and I don't know where they've put him." After she said this, she turned around and sa ...

I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the Good News I have spread is not a human message. I didn't receive it from any person. I wasn't taught it, but Jesus Christ revealed it to me. You heard about the way I once lived when I followed the Jewish religion. You heard how I violently persecuted God's church and tried to destroy it. You also heard how I was far ahead of other Jews in my age group in following the Jewish religion. I had become that fanatical for the traditions of my an ...

The Jews replied to Jesus, "Aren't we right when we say that you're a Samaritan and that you're possessed by a demon?" Jesus answered, "I'm not possessed. I honor my Father, but you dishonor me. I don't want my own glory. But there is someone who wants it, and he is the judge. I can guarantee this truth: Whoever obeys what I say will never see death."
