There Will Be Adult Bible Class Today: We are continuing our study of Luther’s Catechism. Please join us, you are never too old to review.
Stewardship in Romans 1:8-17: Paul’s stewardship of the Gospel was the highest priority in his life. Thus, he was willing to use all that he was and had to be to be a bold ambassador of Jesus Christ. In other passages of Holy Scripture we read that St. Paul considered all the “things” of this world as nothing compared to the treasure of knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Paul’s example encourages us not to set our hearts too much on the things of this world but rather to set our hearts on things above. That’s good stewardship.
Life Quote: “We certainly thank God for one another, for our beautiful country, for our armed forces, for the blessings of constitutional government—albeit by no means perfect—for our selves, our souls, our bodies, and all the other blessings of this life. But chiefly are we bound to thank God for the great salvation we have in our Lord and only Savior Jesus Christ! Only in Christ do we know the glorious liberty which eternally frees us from sin, death, and the Devil.” Fr. Philip Mullen, Ascension Orthodox Lutheran Fellowship, Columbus, Ohio.
