MONEY
"There is tremendous freedom of mind in knowing & believing that God owns it all, & that money is nothing more than a resource provided by God to allow us to accomplish His purposes on this earth." Ron Blue, Men's Devotional Bible
LISTENERS
"The world aches for good listeners." William Diehl, Men's Devotional BibleLIVE THE RESURRECTION
"Be consistent in your allegiance to Christ & His kingdom (the church). Live like the resurrection happened & matters; indeed you are participating in resurrection life now through your own Baptism. We are people of the resurrection, & our witness to the truth of the resurrection of Jesus is tethered to our practice. Again, it is a matter of authenticity. Baptized persons who exhibit a prioritized devotion to the source of forgiveness, life, peace & joy--Jesus Christ--through worship & service garner a degree of deference & respect from observers of our holy faith.
"Speaking about the fact of the resurrection should be done in a tone of love, welcome, consideration, exploration & convivial conversation, even with those who dissent from the Gospel, perhaps especially with such. The goal is always faithful witness in a context of free inquiry & respect, with confidence in the Word & trust in the Spirit to use that Word as the Lord deems fit." John Bombaro, The Lutheran Witness, April 2020
