St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran, Howards Grove, WI - July 23rd, 2023

Greetings St. Paul's Family -

The three lessons this weekend tie so well together. They are a feast for the soul - and a timely one. Starting with Matthew, Jesus reveals God's plan regarding the wickedness in the world. He's going to wait to fully deal with it until the harvest (last day)! That means governments can't fix it and Christians need to be on the watch. That leads us to Isaiah. Living in and around sin day after day doesn't mean God isn't God. It means we need to trust him all the more in tough times. Our last lesson from Romans 1 brings to light the wickedness of the weeds. They try to cut God completely out of life. The day will come where God will cut them down. Patience, Christian!

God bless you this weekend as you plan to praise the Creator not merely for all that you see with your eyes. Praise him for all he has done for your soul by bringing us to Christ and the joy of our forgiveness.
