Today's Verse: Hebrews 2:1 (ESV)

Warning Against Neglecting Salvation
Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.

The Book of Hebrews speaks to God's communication to us through His word. And this passage reminds us that we must pay attention to it.

Today's Comments: It certainly seems to me that the Episcopal Church is slipping away from God's Word as revealed to us in scripture. Why else would they be willing to incur the possible wrath of God by electing a lesbian to office as a bishop in their church. Paul was clear in his warning against sexual misconduct, and I think that he was also clear in his view of appointing women to pastoral offices (bishop). And yet, in the face of all the Diocese of Los Angeles chose to ignore Paul. They have also ignored the words of Jesus Christ himself, who, in his discussion of divorce, confirmed that marriage is a God created institution between a man and a woman.

Poem of the Week:

Beverly Caruso recently wrote a poem about spending more time with the Lord in communication. Perhaps the leaders in the Episcopal Church should be spending more time listening to the Lord and less time worrying about injustice that is created by our own sin.

MY DOCUMENTS

Our Savior breaks bread and wishes
His people did not have to send out
beams on microwave dishes
He suggests "prayer"


As a faster way to get us there

To the throne of his grace

For it is from there that he fishes


for the man who will "LISTEN"

and spend time on his knees

waiting in quiet contrition

Who needs microwave dishes?

When our Savior only fishes

for men like this

To carry out his wishes
