My dad is the hardest working person I know. Growing up I can remember many days he would work long hours, come home late and tired, but he always tried to make time for us kids. One of the biggest lessons he taught us was how to enjoy our work. How to enjoy doing manual labor and revel in the feeling of accomplishment once a difficult task was completed. What does this have to do with the commandment “Thou shall not steal”? Join us this afternoon to find out!

I Tried…I Failed
When I started contemplating what to write for this week’s post about the sermon
topic for Sunday, I searched for a humorous anecdote or story that would get your
attention and make you want to come to church to learn more. I tried…and I failed.
I wrote three or four pieces trying to find a laugh or a hook to grab you and deleted
every one of them.
What I discovered is that there is really nothing funny or humorous about adultery
(and no, that didn’t surprise me). Oh, I found jokes and comics that purported to be
light-hearted and poked fun at the participants, but ultimately, they were just sad.
There are numerous television shows and movies that I could reference containing
scenes of infidelity and adultery, but instead of showing the hurt and pain caused
by those issues, the producers choose to glorify the act, and no one gets hurt. They
only want to show how fun and glamourous it is to “fool around” because no one
would watch if they told the truth.
Christians are not immune to sexual temptation by any means. We are, however,
given help and guidance through the Bible on the respectful use of our bodies,
which is what we will be hearing on Sunday.
God wants us to enjoy the physical emotions and feelings he gives us; He just
wants us to utilize these things as He intended. Come join us this Sunday at Faith
Lutheran Church as we learn how to use our bodies to respect, honor and glorify
God.

Why is murder wrong?
Have you ever stopped to really think about why murder is wrong? That sounds like a strange
question because, of course, we know it’s wrong. But why? Why do we have laws against killing
someone?
If you were to pose that question to 100 people, you would probably get pragmatic responses
such as, “it’s just not right”, “because that’s how things work”, “it’s against the law”, or maybe
if someone is really philosophical, they might say, “If our society is to function, if we are to feel
safe, we can’t just go around killing each other willy-nilly.” But that doesn’t really answer the
question and also leads to another question. Who decides whether your life is worth
protecting? Who’s to say that your demise wouldn’t make the world a better place?
The answer to all these questions is, “because God said so.” Let me repeat that…God says you
and all people are valuable and precious to Him and anyone maliciously taking something
prized by our God is liable for judgement in this world and the next!
As Christians, we realize that the sanctity of life is based on more than just sensible or realistic
considerations. We know that every human being is created in God’s image (Genesis 1:26-27).
No matter people’s ethnicity, how they vote, their health or disabilities, their age or infirmities,
or whether they are bothersome to others, every person has inherent worth and dignity, since
each one is created to represent God. God created us to serve Him in this world by representing
Him to our neighbors.
Why is murder wrong? Because God said so.
Come to Faith Lutheran Church this Sunday, June 22, to hear more about the commandment,
“You shall not murder.”

We have Halls of Fame all over this country. There’s one in Canton, Ohio for football; there’s one in Springfield, Massachusetts for basketball; there’s one in Cooperstown, New York for baseball. We have all sorts of Halls of Fame for all sorts of sports, and we’re forever electing aging athletes to these institutions. It’s the pinnacle of achievement in a sport to be selected to represent a sport in its Hall of Fame.

If it were up to me, I would have a different Hall of Fame, and it would be for parents. Especially for parents who survived their children’s adolescence. Those of you who have raised children through that period know what I am talking about. Those of you with small children…prepare yourselves.

Join us at Faith Lutheran Church this Sunday as we explore the commandment to Honor your Father and Mother.

What A Friend!

Remember that “best friend’ you had in college, high school, or even
grade school? The friend with whom you made the promise to be “friends
forever.” The friend that for some reason you have not seen or heard from
in ages till one day you connect, whether it was an accidental meeting at
the airport, a class reunion, or even a planned meeting.
One of two things took place as you sat down to talk. On the one
hand, once the past was fully revered and remembered there was silence.
Uncomfortable silence. Silence that is broken with an awkward question,
something like, “So… what are you doing now?” A great amount of small
talk follows with goodbye’s spoken and the typical farewell, “we will have to
get together sometime soon, this was fun! Was it really?
On the other hand you and your friend can’t stop talking. Your lives
take on an abundance of energy talking about anything and everything.
Discussing family, jobs, politics, and dreams. It appears your lives have
picked up where they left off many years ago. These are the friendships
we all desire. They are forgiving, loving, compassionate, and well worth
our time. We truly find ourselves wondering, “Why have I not spent more
time with this friend?”
What a Friend we have in Jesus! This is more than an old hymn.
This is a truth that many of us miss due to our busy lives and our wayward
activities. Jesus wants to spend time with us. We on the other hand
become so busy with life that time with Jesus seems to get in the way of
our activities.
Yet, we discover the truth of this friendship in times of trouble, when
grief captures our hearts and lives. We realize how much we need the care
and compassion that silent time with our Savior can bring. We begin to
realize, it has been too long, we do not know what to say. In that moment
of nothingness, we can almost hear our name being called and an invitation
given, “Come (you) who are thirsty, come.” (Rev. 22:17) Oh, what a Friend
we do have in Jesus.
Is it any wonder that God gave us the Third Commandment,
“Remember the Sabbath Day to Keep it holy. Six days you will labor, and
do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God.”
(Exodus 20:8-9a) Jesus does the heavy work of lifting us. He will never be
far from us.
See all of you this Sunday.

This week my daughter has turned into a bit of a klutz. Maybe it’s a growth spurt, or maybe it’s the fact that summer has seemed to really spring this week, so much so that it has given her more energy than usual. I’m not really sure, but what I am sure of is the fact that she keeps running into things and hurting herself.

We remind her, “Don’t run through the house!”
“Watch where you are going!”
“Pay attention to your surroundings!”
“No, you cannot try to be a ballerina on a kitchen stool!”

All the normal things, and yet still, she disregards our warnings and inevitably ends up sitting on the floor crying because she has hurt herself in some way. After one of these incidents, I gently reminded her that her mother and I put rules in place and tell her to do certain things, not because we like bossing her around and telling her what to do but, because we don’t want her to get hurt. We want her to stay safe, so we put up guardrails.

Isn’t that what God does for us as the perfect father? He reminds us to stay within the guardrails he has put up, not because he is a killjoy or because he likes rules for the sake of rules. He tells us to obey Him so that we will stay safe and for our own benefit. Over the coming weeks as we continue to explore the 10 Commandments in depth, I hope that you will join us at Faith and discover the good purpose God has for us in his Laws.
