MILITARY BIBLESTICKS Over the last several years, the members and friends of Holy Trinity have provided Military Biblesticks for 357 servicemen. These Biblesticks are only available through military chaplains. So far this year, churches have provided 120,000 Biblesticks for chaplains to give away. They currently have requests for 17,000 more at $25 each. There is a donor who is matching all the gifts in August and September. If you want to provide one or more, today is the last day to place your gift in the offering plate.
LIFE THOUGHTS IN CHURCH Ancient societies often avoided demon-possessed persons (Mark 9:17-18, 22). “It’s your problem, not my business. Don’t bother me, deal with it yourself.” The modern mantra, “Your body, your choice,” tells the same lie. When we keep silent and still on life issues, we only confirm this devilish deception. Christians get to speak with Christ’s courage and reach out in God’s compassion: “You matter. We’ll help” (Isaiah 50:4). O Lord, loose our tongues to declare Your mighty deeds. Amen.
(Pentecost XVII)
LIFE QUOTES “Oh, how the believer in Christ needs to remember that Christ lives within. This is no longer my life, it is Christ’s. Yes, you live in the midst of a battle between the culture of death and the culture of life. Stand firm in Christ, where the abundant life has always been and always will be!” Rev. Lyndon Korhonen, president of the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations – A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life • If you wish to support this ministry, you may do so through their website.
