Being on our own is tough, but we get great benefits from dwelling in the Lord's camp.
The Lord Hears
When no one else sees our tears, when no one hears our cries for help, the Lord hears. In his mercy and his compassion he comes to our relief.
What God Desires
We like knowing what we should expect. We can expect God to act on what he desires, to purify our hearts and to teach us truth and wisdom within.
Stay with Jesus In the Deserted Places
The crowds stayed with Jesus in the deserted place. Jesus’ compassion would not send them away empty.
It's Not That Easy
When we read the Ten Commandments, they seem so easy. Then we hear Jesus words and look at our lives. It’s not that easy. When we read the Ten Commandments, we read the instructions of a loving God for our good. It can’t be that easy! It is.
The Joy of the Church
Jesus welcomes sinners and eats with them! That was the complaint of the Pharisees. That is the joy of the church.
Know The Love
Love is a word we use all the time, but only in Christ can we fully know what love means and how to put it into practice.
Get Fear Outta Here
God’s complete love in Jesus drives out all fear. We love because he first loved us
I Don't Get It--To God Be The Glory
I like figuring things out and knowing the basics of how things work, but when it comes to God, who he is and how he works among us, I have to admit, I don't get it. Instead, I must listen to his voice in faith, for there is great knowledge, wisdom, and comfort.
the Holy Spirit Fills His Church
The Holy Spirit still fills the church. He fills his people with his power in Word and Sacrament. He fills the world with the good news of the wonderful works of God.
God's Predictable Results
In life we learn from our own experiences and the experiences of others. As God's people we learn from the history of God's people and know that God will always deal with us in the same way, according to his holiness and his mercy.
