MARTIN LUTHER QUOTE OF THE WEEK:  “According to the general consensus of the church, there is an indication in this record [the creation account from Genesis] of the mystery of the Trinity. The Father created heaven and earth out of nothing, through the Son, whom Moses calls the Word. Over these the Holy Spirit broods. A hen sits on eggs in order to hatch chicks; she warms the eggs as though giving life by her warmth. So scripture says that the Holy Spirit brooded, so to speak, over the waters in order to give life to substances which were to be animated and beautified; for it is the office of the Holy Spirit to give life.” -from an exposition of Genesis 3:22

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:      John 3:6        

“That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” With that rebirth we receive new desires, new lives, new purposes.  To the (fleshly) world, Christian generosity makes no sense: the total minus a percentage is less than the original total.  But Spirit-reborn Christians know that God's’ math works differently (as we might expect from the Trinity!): a blessing received from God becomes more of a blessing when it is used in generosity to bless others.
