So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

9-15-14

Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.

We love because he first loved us.

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

You shall have no other gods.
What does this mean?
We should fear, love, and trust in God above all things.

He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. <i style="font-size: 13.3333px;">What does this mean? </i><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">I believe that Jesus Christ, true God, begotten of the Father from eternity, and also true man, born of the virgin Mary, is my Lord. </span><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">He has redeemed me, a lost and condemned creature, purchased and won me from all sins, from death and from the power of the devil, not with gold or silver, but with his holy, precious blood and with his innocent suffering and death. </span><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">All this he did that I should be his own, and live under him in his kingdom, and serve him in everlasting righteousness, innocence and blessedness, just as he has risen from death and lives and rules eternally. </span><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">This is most certainly true.</span></p>

You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God.
What does this mean?
We should fear and love God that we do not use his name to curse, swear, lie or deceive, or use it superstitiously, but call upon God’s name in every trouble, pray, praise, and give thanks.

I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
What does this mean?
We should fear and love God that we do not despise preaching and his Word, but regard it as holy, and gladly hear and learn it.

Honor your father and mother, that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.
What does this mean?
We should fear and love God that we do not dishonor or anger our parents and others in authority, but honor, serve and obey them, and give them love and respect.

You shall not murder.
What does this mean?
We should fear and love God that we do not hurt or harm our neighbor in his body, but help and befriend him in every bodily need.

You shall not commit adultery.
What does this mean?
We should fear and love God that we lead a pure and decent life in words and actions, and that husband and wife love and honor each other.

You shall not steal.
What does this mean?
We should fear and love God that we do not take our neighbor's money or property or get it by dishonest dealing, but help him to improve and protect his property and means of income.

You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
What does this mean?
We should fear and love God that we do not tell lies about our neighbor, betray him or give him a bad name, but defend him, speak well of him and take his words and actions in the kindest possible way.

You shall not covet your neighbor's house.
What does this mean?
We should fear and love God that we do not scheme to get our neighbor's inheritance or house or obtain it by a show of right, but do all we can to help him keep it.

What does God say about all these commandments? He says, "I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments."

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- not by works, so that no one can boast.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

Serve one another in love.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

A Lamb goes uncomplaining forth,
Our guilt and evil bearing
And, laden with the sins of earth,
None else the burden sharing.
Goes patient on, grow weak and faint,
To slaughter led without complaint,
That spotless life to offer,
Bears shame and stripes and wounds and death,
Anguish and mockery and says,
"Willing all this I suffer."

My song is love unknown,
My Savior’s love to me,
Love to the loveless shown
That they might lovely be.
Oh, who am I,That for my sake
My Lord should take Frail flesh, and die?

Here might I stay and sing;
No story so divine,
Never was love, dear King,
Never was grief like thine.
This is my friend,In whose sweet praise
I all my days Could gladly spend!

There's a voice in the wilderness crying,
A call from the ways untrod:
Prepare in the desert a highway,
A highway for our God!
The valleys shall be exalted,
The lofty hills brought low;
Make straight all the crooked places
Where the Lord our God may go!

O sons and daughters of the King,
Whom heav'nly hosts in glory sing,
Today the grave has lost its sting!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

On Christ’s ascension I now build
The hope of my ascension.
This hope alone has always stilled
All doubt and apprehension;
For where the head is, there as well
I know his members are to dwell
When Christ shall come and call them.

Lord, keep us steadfast in your Word;
Curb those who by deceit or sword
Would seek to overthrow your Son
And to destroy what he has done.

"Wake, awake, for night is flying,"
The watchmen on the heights are crying;
"Awake, Jerusalem, arise!"
Midnight hears the welcome voices
And at the thrilling cry rejoices:
"Oh, where are all you virgins wise?
The Bridegroom comes, awake!
Your lamps with gladness take!
Alleluia!
With bridal care Yourselves prepare
To meet the Bridegroom who is near."

All praise to God who reigns above,
The God of all creation,
The God of wonders, pow'r, and love,
The God of our salvation!
With healing balm my soul he fills,
The God who ev'ry sorrow stills
To God all praise and glory!

Lord, open now my heart to hear,
And through your Word to me draw near.
Let me your Word e'er pure retain;
Let me your child and heir remain.

Before you, God, the Judge of all,
With grief and shame I humbly fall.
I see my sins against you, Lord,
My sins of thought and deed and word.
They press me sore; to you I flee:
O God, be merciful to me!

O Jesus, let your precious blood
Be to my soul a cleansing flood.
Turn not, O Lord, your guest away,
But grant that justified I may
Go to my house at peace to be:
O God, be merciful to me!

Lift up your heads, you mighty gates!
Behold, the King of glory waits.
The King of kings is drawing near;
The Savior of the world is here.
Life and salvation he will bring;
Therefore rejoice and gladly sing.
To God the Father raise
Your joyful songs of praise.

All praise to you, eternal God!
Now clothed in human flesh and blood,
You took a manger for your throne
While worlds on worlds are yours alone.
Alleluia!

Hail, O once despised Jesus!
Hail, O Galilean King!
You have suffered to release us,
Hope to give and peace to bring.
Hail, O universal Savior,
Bearer of our sin and shame;
By your merits we find favor;
Life is given through your name.

My Shepherd, will supply my need--
Jehovah is his name.
In pastures fresh he makes me feed
Beside the living stream.
He brings my wand'ring spirit back
When I forsake his ways
And leads me, for his mercy's sake,
In paths of truth and grace.

Jesus, lead us on
Till our rest is won;
And although the way be cheerless,
We will follow, calm and fearless.
Guide us by your hand
To our fatherland.

Jesus, shepherd of the sheep,
Who your Father's flock does keep,
Safe we wake and safe we sleep,
Guarded still by you.

In God, my faithful God,
I trust when dark my road;
Though many woes o'ertake me,
Yet he will not forsake me.
Though heavy griefs are pressing,
He'll turn them into blessing.

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
Who abide in his shadow for life,
Say to the Lord: "My refuge,
My rock in whom I trust!"
And He will raise you up on eagles' wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of his hand.

For to his angels he's given a command
To guard you in all of your ways;
Upon their hands they will bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
And He will raise you up on eagles' wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of his hand.

O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.

Rejoice, my heart, by glad and sing;
A cheerful trust maintain,
For God, the source of ev'rything,
Your treasure shall remain.

Why spend the day in blank despair,
In restless thought the night?
On your Creator cast your care;
He makes your burdens light.

Let us ever walk with Jesus,
Follow his example pure,
Flee the world which would deceive us
And to sin our souls allure.
Ever in his footsteps treading,
Body here, yet soul above,
Full of faith and hope and love,
Let us do the Father's bidding.
Faithful Lord, abide with me.
Savior, lead; I follow thee.

Fight the good fight
With all your might;
Christ is your strength and Christ your light.
Lay hold on life, and it shall be
Your joy and crown eternally.

May we your precepts, Lord, fulfill
And do on earth our Father’s will
As angels do above,
Still walk in Christ, the living way,
With all your children, and obey
The law of Christian love.

Savior, I follow on,
Guided by thee,
Seeing not yet the hand
That leadeth me.
Hushed be my heart and still;
Fear I no further ill.
Only to meet thy will
My will shall be.

Lord of glory, you have bought us
With your lifeblood as the price,
Never grudging for the lost ones
That tremendous sacrifice;
And with that have freely given
Blessings countless as the sand
To th' unthankful and the evil
With your own unsparing hand.

Love in Christ is strong and living,
Binding faithful hearts in one;
Love in Christ is true and giving--
May his will in us be done!

Love in Christ abides forever,
Fainting not when ills attend;
Love, forgiving and forgiven,
Shall endure until life's end.

Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.

From sorrow, toil and pain,
And sin, we shall be free,
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.

I love your kingdom, Lord,
The place of your abode,
The Church our blest Redeemer saved
With his own precious blood.

I love your Church, O God,
Your saints in ev'ry land,
Dear as the apple of your eye
And graven on your hand.

The church's one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is his new creation
By water and the Word.
From heaven he came and sought her
To be his holy bride;
With his own blood he bought her,
And for her life he died.

Lord Jesus, since you love me,
Oh, spread your wings above me
And shield me from alarm.
Though Satan would assail me,
Your mercy will not fail me;
I rest in your protecting arms.

Sing to the Lord of harvest,
Sing songs of love and praise;
With joyful hearts and voices
Your alleluias raise.
By him the rolling seasons
In fruitful order move;
Sing to the Lord of harvest
A joyous song of love.

Jesus, take us to the mountain
Where, with Peter, James and John,
We are dazzled by Your glory,
Light as blinding as the sun.
There prepare us for the night
By the vision of that sight.

Jerusalem the golden,
With milk and honey blest
The sight of it refreshes
The weary and oppressed;
I know not, oh, I know not
What joys await us there,
What radiancy of glory,
What bliss beyond compare;
To sing the hymn unending
With all the martyr throng,
Amidst the halls of Zion
Resounding full with song.

The King will come at age's en,
The trumpets trill, the heavens rend,
Unveiling new Jerusalem.
Alleluia!

Allglorious on his gleaming throne,
The King will claim hi saints, his own,
And with them dwell and make a home.
Alleluia!

Your kingdom, O God, is my glorious treasure,
My pearl of incomp'rable worth.
Its value exceeds ev'ry standard of measure,
Surpassing the wealth of the earth.
Lord, give me your grace and the pow'r of the Spirit
To value this treasure aright
That, never allured by the world, I inherit
Your kingdom of glory and light.

The Lord is my light and my salvation.
The Lord is the stronghold of my life.
Since the Lord is my life, my strength, and my all,
Whom, then shall I fear?
There is one thing I ask of the Lord;
To dwell in his house forever,
To gaze on the beauty of the Lord
All the days of my life.

Arise and shine in splendor;
Let night to day surrender.
Your light is drawing near.
Above, the day is beaming,
In matchless beauty gleaming;
The glory of the Lord is here.

Songs of thankfulness and praise,
Jesus, Lord, to you we raise,
Manifested by the star
To the Magi from afar,
Branch of royal David's stem,
In your birth at Bethlehem.
Anthems be to you addressed
God in man made manifest.

O Jesus, King of glory,
Both David’s Lord and son!
Your rule endures forever;
In heaven is your throne.
Help that in earth’s dominions,
From pole to farthest pole,
Your reign may spread salvation
To each benighted soul.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior.

Your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.

All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags.

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes--I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!

Because I live, you also will live.

God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.

For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

Love your neighbor as yourself.

Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.

Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.

Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time. You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:

Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.

in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
