For Reflection and Preparation  

   For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this:  that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.                         II Corinthians 5:14-15

   [Do not] underestimate the importance of your cultivating your family’s spiritual appetite.  Yes, you cultivate it.  Fathers, listen up: Your wife and kids long for you to be their spiritual pacesetter.  Children love knowing that their dad loves God, walks with God, and talks about God.  Never underestimate your role as the spiritual head.  Ready for a challenge?  Begin to spend time with God, become a man of prayer, help your family know how deeply you love Christ and desire to honor Him.  Why not start today?  C’mon, men . . . it’s one of the greatest gifts any father can give a family.                                                           Chuck Swindoll.                                                                                    

   The world does not need more of you; it needs more of God.  Your friends do not need more of you; they need more of God.  And you don’t need more of you; you need more of God.  For we do not progress in the Christian life by becoming more competent, more knowledgeable, more virtuous, or more energetic...we need more of God.                                                                                                                  Eugene Peterson

Assurance of God’s Grace                               1 Peter 2:9-10 

   But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

Confessing Our Faith                     The Apostles’ Creed

I Believe in God the Father, Almighty,

Maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord,

Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

Born of the virgin Mary,

Suffered under Pontius Pilate,

Was crucified, dead, and buried:

He descended into hell;

The third day He arose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven,

And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty,

From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I Believe in the Holy Spirit;

The holy catholic church;

The communion of saints,

The forgiveness of sins,

The resurrection of the body;

And the life everlasting.  Amen.
