September 23, 2020 - DECLARE THESE THINGS

Day 267 - (Today’s Bible readings: Ezekiel 21; Psalm 82; Titus 2:1-15)

DECLARE THESE THINGS

“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people . . . Declare these things.” (Titus 2:11 & 15 ESV)

This short book contains Paul’s instruction for pastors, however, there is much that all of God’s people can learn from his words.

Chapter 2 verse 11 contains the heart of our faith. Our merciful and gracious God appeared in the person of Jesus whose death on the cross provides salvation to all. This is the main message God tells all of us to declare. 

There is hope for sinners like you and me. And this hope is available to anyone who believes that Jesus died for them. Now that is really good news! May the Lord bless us as we declare His story all who will listen.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for bringing salvation to the whole world. Please use me to help declare Your story in my everyday life.  Amen.

Pastor David Paape

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105 ), is the theme for this three-year journey through the entire Old Testament once (the Psalms - twice yearly), and the New Testament twice. There will be daily readings from the O.T., Psalms and the N.T. Special days on the church calendar will be highlighted with appropriate readings. This calendar has been compiled by representatives of the Lutheran Church of Canada, the North American Lutheran Church and the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod.
