Have God's Word for yourself

Let me tell you this, even though you know God's Word perfectly and are already a master in all things: you are daily in the devil's kingdom.  He ceases neither day nor night to sneak up on you and to kindle in your heart unbelief and wicked thoughts against these three commandments and all the commandments.  Therefore, you must always have God's Word in your heart, upon your lips and in your ears.  But where the heart is idle and the Word does not make a sound, the devil breaks in and has done the damage before we are aware.

Martin Luther in the Large Catechism, Third Commandment, paragraph 100

Don't miss the opportunity to worship with us this Sunday morning at 9 am (PST).  Find the service on our website (licl.org), our Facebook page or our YouTube channel (just type Life in Christ Lutheran Church in the search box).  My devotion, "Word of Encouragement" will be on line on our Facebook page this morning at 8 am (PST).

Be back on Monday.  God bless your weekend!
