The days remain evil. Those words were written to state a fact to a Christian congregation in an ancient city. It was a timely letter, that reminded the faithful that, despite the evil in the fallen world, they had certainty in God’s Word to behold God’s will in, for, and through their lives.

The Forgiven Life
A theme for this 19th Sunday after Trinity has again been developed from the Word of God in our pericopes (cuttings from Scripture) that have been proclaimed today. That theme is offered into your ears for this day. It is:

Christ intercedes between life and death
Just last week you were reminded of God’s proclaimed Divine Law that moves you to sorrow over your sins. But you might not always be moved to such heart-wrenching sorrow when you sin. You might fail to recognize your sin or even know you are sinning. You are actually so steeped in sin, and it is so much a part of your everyday life, that it can easily be brushed off and not realized for what it truly is….For more, click on the title above.
