Dear Family of God,

What are you willing to sacrifice in order to possess Eternal Life?

To know and experience the love of God is more than any treasure or any pearl of great price. To possess God or rather to be possessed by Him is more than anything we could possess in this world.

Dear Family of God,

Why does God seem lenient to sinners and wicked people?

The book of Wisdom describes God as unique: “There is no god besides you who have the care of all… For your might is the source of justice; your mastery over all things makes you lenient to all.” (Wisdom 12:13ff).

Dear Family of God,

The parable of the Sower in our Gospel this weekend, challenges us to listen intently to God’s Word, to be open to it, and to allow our lives to be shaped by its power. The parable reminds us that man’s reception of God’s Word is determined by the condition of his heart.

Dear Family of God,

Happy 250th birthday of our nation!

Do you know when and why we included “One nation under God” in our pledge of allegiance? In 1863, President Lincoln uses “under God” at the Gettysburg Address, “This nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.”
