LUTHER QUOTE FOR THE WEEK
Thus there develops in a man a confident defiance of everything upon earth, for he has God and all that is God’s. He does all that he is now required to God, and fears not. On the contrary, where there is no love of God, that heart does not kept God’s word; and if the heart does not keep God’s word, the hand never will. (Church Postils, Exaudi Pentecost)
TO SMILE: OneSunday after church a mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about. The daughter answered, “Don’t be scared, you’ll get your quilt.” Needless to say, the mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea and the mom asked him what that morning’s Sunday school lesson was about. He said, “Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming”.
LIFE QUOTES “God created man, male and female, for a threefold and trinitarian purpose: To live our lives to His glory, that’s one. To marry if God’swill, that’s two. To have children, that’s three. Marriage was created by God, not by society nor by government. Marriage is not a sociietal construct. Marriage was instituted by God. Family flows out of this wondrous God-created relationship of one man and one woman who are to live together for a lifetime. As such, they are to live as husbans and wife, seeking God’s blessings which the Lord freely gives.
*Rev. Daniel Domke, Mount Calvary Lutheran Church
Difference Between A Believer and A Disciple
Here is something to ponder:
A believer praises the Lord in good times, the disciple at all times.
The Holy Spirit resides in the believer but shines through the disciple.
A believer loves God with heart and mind, while a disciple commits the will.
A believer loves God and others, but they are the disciple's life.
A believer lives in hope, but for the disciple, God's hope is certain.
A believer seeks forgiveness for sin, but the disciple also determines not to walk that path again.
A believer has faith in God but the disciple's faith is tempered in the fire of testing.
A believer loves the Lord, but the disciple's love is unconditional.
The believer serves the Lord in strength, but the disciple is made perfect through weakness.
God is part of the believer's life, but the central focus of the disciple.
A believer forgives, but the disciple also forgets.
A believer communicates with God at their own convenience, but the disciple's heart is open to the Lord at all times.
While none of us can lay claim to living up to all these principles, all of the time - for we have not yet reached perfection - they can remind us of the direction in which we are to go. But let's try our hardest to make our words and actions mirror images of each other.”
