DEVOTION:  "Then the temple of the Lord was filled with a cloud, and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the temple of God."  1 Kings 8:11

 

This past weekend we had 184 people in worship.  That was the most people we've had in worship since Easter.  It was wonderful to see so many folks there.  It made my heart glad to see church like that. 

 

When the house is full there is gladness, but always know this, where two or three are gathered in His name, He is there with them.  It doesn't matter how empty or full worship is, the Lord is there.  And it is a good thing!

 

Of course we all LOVE to see the house of the Lord full every time we come to worship.  That is because the fuller it is the more people are hearing God's Word and receiving His gifts of forgiveness, grace, and peace from Him.  We want everyone to hear God's Word and receive His gifts!

 

What is even more wonderful is that the past few weeks we have had quite a few visitors, quite a few who haven't heard the Gospel in a very long time if ever at all.  Many of these are interested in becoming members of our church.  Did you know that usually, when people come to visit St. John's looking for a church home, they usually stay and become members.  It is so exciting to see God working through His Word to bring people back to Him after a long absence from His house and to bring people to faith through His Word and Sacraments!! 

 

In the reading for today the Lord showed His presence through the cloud by day and fire by night.  In these last day he shows His presence through His Word and Sacraments and through His faithful followers who share the love of Christ with each other and with the world. 

 

BE PROUD OF YOUR CHURCH!!  INVITE PEOPLE!  BE AN AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH HERE AT ST. JOHN'S!  You will be pleasantly encouraged by the results of God's work!

 

Let us pray:  Lord God, we know that you are omnipresent, but we especially experience Your presence and receive Your gifts in worship.  Help us to take advantage of the wonderful place and people You have provided for us.  Amen.

The Kermit Gosnell Verdict

 

You are receiving this informational Rostered Worker eBlast message because you are a professional church worker on the roster of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. Update your LCMS communication preferences.   The Kermit Gosnell Verdict: Implications for Pro-Life Lutheran Christians A statement by LCMS Life Ministries May 13, 2013 After a nine-week trial, which included weeks of graphic testimony, a Pennsylvania jury found Dr. Kermit Gosnell guilty of three of four counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of babies who were born alive, but who died after their spinal cords were severed in procedures Gosnell called "abortions." He was acquitted on the fourth murder charge. Gosnell also was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the botched abortion death of one mother. He faced 258 counts total, including 24 counts of performing abortions after 24 weeks gestation, which is illegal in Pennsylvania, and hundreds of charges of violating Pennsylvania's informed consent and 24-hour waiting period laws. The jury is now in the penalty phase. Gosnell's murder trial became the subject of much debate nationally after pro-life activists and others criticized the mainstream media for ignoring the trial early on. As pro-life Christians devoted to the biblical understanding of the sanctity of human life, we grieve over the tragic loss of these lives and the thousands of other children and mothers who die daily as a result of abortion. Today's conviction of Gosnell brings justice for the many victims of this horrific abortion facility and demonstrates that abortion is clearly a slippery slope that seeks to deprive the most helpless of their basic human right: life. The LCMS develops and promotes resources and support for pregnant women so they can avoid seeking abortions. Abortion doesn't solve — but only masks — problems many women face and leaves many of them grieving the death of a child. The Gosnell case generated a larger debate and rightly caused people to consider the philosophical issue of why an abortion procedure performed in utero is legal, but also how a similar act a few minutes later, outside the womb, is considered homicide. Clearly, the case was about the death of five persons and no one can argue against the personhood of these four smaller humans. This case has exposed the ugly underbelly of the pro-abortion movement and it has brought the humanity of unborn children before the public conscience. We call upon legislators and citizens to examine the brutality of abortion, which takes the lives of 1.2 million children every year, and the mothers who die as well. (The Center for Disease Control reports that about 400 women have died as a result of legal abortions since 1973, and 12 died in 2008, the last time such research was gathered.) Our church aims to be a place of forgiveness, mercy and healing for all people as we continue to proclaim Christ's comfort and truth in love. As we move forward following this ruling, we offer up our prayers for women and children in need, for families, that those still participating in the abortion industry would stop, and for our nation.
