Hey all you Moms out there!  Here is one awesome reading  in your honor:  John 15:9-17!

What a great gift from God our Moms are to us!  If you are not a Mom and can call or visit yours – do it!  They matter more than you will know.  And if you are a Mom, be encouraged that God loves you and is with you!  Happy Mothers Day!

Yup, the week is over and God is with us!  How cool is that!  Psalm 76 – Leviticus 23:23-44 – 2 Thessalonians 3:1-18 – Matthew 7:13-21.

The Narrow gate?  Jesus is telling us there is only one way to live – through Him.  His life was sacrificed to forgive us and give us life!  That means we are forgiven and that changes everything.  How has your life changed because of Jesus?

Thank God It’s Friday!  Thank God for these readings:  Psalm 106:1-18 – Leviticus 23:1-22 – 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17 – Matthew 7:1-12!

Don’t be so judgie!  Judgie?  Is that even a word? You get the idea.  No one like to think that they are judgmental.  Problem is we mistake judging with helpful correction.  The deal is this:  Right is right – wrong is wrong!  Jesus in today’s reading from Matthew is calling us to deal with our own junk.  When I have my junk dealt with I can help others!  How are you doing?

It is Thursday Night – Perfect for some readings:  Psalm 70 – Leviticus 19:26-37 – 2 Thessalonians 1:1-12 – Matthew 6:25-34.

Seek God today and rejoice in all that He has given to you! What has God done for you today?  Make a list.  Check it twice.  Thank God for being with you today!

Readings Galore!  Psalm 72 – Leviticus 19:1-18 – 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 – Matthew 6:19-24

What does it mean to be blameless or holy?  We usually think that being holy is being perfect.  That is true – the word holy does imply the someone is perfect – sort of.  When we talk about God being Holy, we are saying He is perfect!  But what about us? 1 Thessalonians has Paul asking that God would sanctify us through and through.  To sanctify is basically to make someone holy.  But when we talk about humans, holy means to be set apart for a special purpose.  Jesus died to make us holy and blameless.  He took all our guilt and we are now free to serve.  What a cool concept and prayer for us to pray – that God would continue to set me apart for His plan.  Count me in!

Here it is:  Psalm 62 – Leviticus 16:20-34 – 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 – Matthew 6:7-15.

What is God saying to you in today’s readings?

Yup – its the Monday Morning Goalie! Striving to keep the junk out of our lives and yet set us up to get some goals of our own.  OK, bummer of a game last night – Flyers lost to the Devils – BOOOOOO!!!! Now I feel better – here are some readings and a video from yesterdays message at St Peter Lutheran.  Psalm 57 – Leviticus 16:1-19 – 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 – Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18.
