The words “In God we trust” are found on every US coin. Here’s a short list of things scripture warns us against putting our faith in instead of God:
1. Riches and wealth (ironic!): Proverbs 11:28 - among many!
2. Your own mind and heart and understanding: Proverbs 28:26, Jeremiah 17:9, Proverbs 3:5
3. Other people (sad, but true 😢): Psalm 118:8
4. Military and political power: Psalm 20:7, Isaiah 31:1
5. False gods and idols: Exodus 20:3-5, among many!
In his Letter to the Romans, Paul emphasizes faith in God alone as the foundation of our hope and community and life. Let us “keep the faith” together in Christ!
Join us this week as we begin our study of Romans, “So that It May Rest on Grace” beginning Tuesday 6/9 at 3 pm on Zoom and in person Wednesday 6/10 at noon in our Parish Hall (bring your lunch!)
