DEVOTION: Acts 5:12-32 (ESV) 12 Now many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon's Portico.13 None of the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high esteem.14 And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,15 so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.16 The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed. 17 But the high priest rose up, and all who were with him (that is, the party of the Sadducees), and filled with jealousy18 they arrested the apostles and put them in the public prison.19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said,20 "Go and stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life."21 And when they heard this, they entered the temple at daybreak and began to teach. Now when the high priest came, and those who were with him, they called together the council, all the senate of the people of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.22 But when the officers came, they did not find them in the prison, so they returned and reported,23 "We found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them we found no one inside."24 Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed about them, wondering what this would come to.25 And someone came and told them, "Look! The men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people."26 Then the captain with the officers went and brought them, but not by force, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people. 27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,28 saying, "We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man's blood upon us."29 But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men.30 The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.31 God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.32 And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."
"We must obey God rather than men." Oh, how I wish more people would adhere to this statement from Paul.
What about you? If you are given the choice of obeying God rather than men, which one will you choose? Which one have you chosen in the past?
I must admit that I haven't always chosen God's will. Many times I have chosen the will of the world. Many times I have succumb to the pressures of this unbelieving, God forsaken world. Many times I have given in ot my own sinful nature instead of God's will.
At the same time, it is my prayer that if I am ever put in a position as Peter and the other Apostles were, I will not deny my faith, but stand up for it, in spite of the consequences. We must obey God rather than men when It comes to professing Jesus as Lord, and giving witness and testimony to the faith!
The world cannot stand against the truth of Jesus and His resurrection! Jesus has overcome the world! He has overcome sin, death, the devil, and hell. Live in that truth! Stand up for that truth! Rest in that truth!
Prayer: Lord, thank you for giving me opportunities to stand up for you. Give me the power to do it when the time arises. Amen.

Projectionists: NO PROJECTOR THIS WEEK _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ YESTERDAY'S BIBLE QUIZ: Who was the first King of Israel? Saul
Or here's a bunch of bloviating (hehe) from Pat King and her dog.
Well, I could get all profound and mystical on you, and go with God. Who is actually, Israel's only, true king. But I know that that's not what you're looking for.
So, again with turning this over to my Cody, who will – once again - answer the Bible quiz.
And the answer is.......SAUL!!! The dude who hated the stuffin' out of David, and later put a "hit" out on him. Just because. But he did have a nice son, called Jonathon – who was a precursor of Christ, in that, he was willing to sacrifice himself. Even to the point of giving up his inheritance – the throne of Israel - for another.
Anyway, that's all Cody has to say on the subject.

Mission Statement
The mission of St. John's Lutheran Church is to preach the Word of God in its purity and to teach this Word to all people. We do so through the means God has given us, the Sacraments of Holy Baptism and Holy Communion.
What We Believe
The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod accepts the Scriptures as the inspired and inerrant Word of God, and subscribes unconditionally to all the symbolical books of the Evangelical Lutheran Church as a true and unadulterated statement and exposition of the Word of God.
We accept the Confessions because they are drawn from the Word of God and on that account regard their doctrinal content as a true and binding exposition of Holy Scripture and as authoritative for all pastors, congregations and other rostered church workers of The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.
