STEWARDSHIP
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Ephesians 5:6-7
“Let no one
deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God
comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Therefore do no associate with them.”
The wrath of God is a real thing and we do well to reflect on this. As the Small Catechism states: God threatens
to punish all who break these commandments.
Therefore, we should fear His wrath and not do anything against
them. But He promises grace and every
blessings to all who keep these commandments.
Therefore, we should also love and trust in Him and gladly do what He
commands.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
