Good Morning, Ministry Partner:
Be Encouraged by God's Word:
But now, apart from law, the righteousness of God has been disclosed, and is attested by the law and the prophets, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction, since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a sacrifice of atonement by his blood, effective through faith. He did this to show his righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed; it was to prove at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies the one who has faith in Jesus.[Romans 3:21-26, NRSV]
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims:
Is it not wonderful news to believe that salvation lies outside ourselves?[Martin Luther]
Pray Together with Us:
Save me, Lord, King of eternal glory, you who have the power to save us all. Grant that I may long for, do and perfect those things which are pleasing to you and profitable for me. Lord, give me counsel in my anxiety, help in time of trial, solace when persecuted and strength against every temptation. Grant me pardon, Lord, for my past wrongdoings and afflictions, correction of my present ones and deign also to protect me against those in the future.[11th century Latin Prayer]
