If you've been wondering where our Little Free Pantry has been, here is some of what has been going on with it. The upgrades should hopefully keep them in good shape for years to come!

"Chastity is a trait, marker or goal that defines a life rightly lived and an ideal for which we should all strive. The antithesis of chastity is not simply adultery, promiscuity or thinking too much about s*x. The opposite of chastity is using one’s s*xuality purely to serve self and to satisfy personal desires, urges and goals in order to enhance one’s own life without regard for others. That is the core of lust, the vice that subverts chastity."

Christians is a beautiful virtue that should inspire, encourage and define all those who follow Christ. (Lutheran Witness - Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod)

Trinity 1

Faith Trusts in Christ for Life Eternal
When the beggar Lazarus died, he was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. For he was truly Abraham’s seed. Like Abraham, he believed in the Lord, and the Lord “counted it to him as righteousness” (Gen. 15:6). The name Lazarus means “God is my help.” The unnamed rich man, on the other hand, did not love and trust in God. For he evidently cared little for the beggar at his gate. And “he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen” (1 John 4:20). He who loved and trusted in possessions and prestige died and was in torments in Hades (Luke 16:19–31). Repentance and faith are worked only through Moses and the prophets—that is, the Word of God, for it points us to Christ. Only through His death and resurrection are we brought the comfort of life everlasting

"We need to be taught how to mortify the flesh (when did you ever hear a sermon on that in a Lutheran congregation?). We need to be taught how to practice the self-denial and walk worthy of our calling that befit those who have been baptized and who believe in Jesus Christ. Calls to morality are far too few and far too careful not to offend. Perhaps we ought to be offended during Lent."

Now that both Lent and Easter are behind us -- at least for this year -- it is with some fear and trepidation that I offer these words. Len...

We start our year of preaching on the Psalms this weekend! This week will introduce it all with Psalm 1. Here is Pastor Belt's podcast on this Psalm from a couple of years ago.

(The majority of the weeks we will be using the appointed Psalm from the lectionary. Since there are a couple of duplicates, a few of the weeks we chose a different one that fits with the theme of the day).

Today we cover Psalm 1, a Psalm rich with imagery of God’s Word and the Garden of Eden.
