DEVOTION: Amos 6:1-7 (NIV)
"Woe to the Complacent"
6 Woe to you who are complacent in Zion,
and to you who feel secure on Mount Samaria,
you notable men of the foremost nation,
to whom the people of Israel come!
2 Go to Kalneh and look at it;
go from there to great Hamath,
and then go down to Gath in Philistia.
Are they better off than your two kingdoms?
Is their land larger than yours?
3 You put off the day of disaster
and bring near a reign of terror.
4 You lie on beds adorned with ivory
and lounge on your couches.
You dine on choice lambs
and fattened calves.
5 You strum away on your harps like David
and improvise on musical instruments.
6 You drink wine by the bowlful
and use the finest lotions,
but you do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph.
7 Therefore you will be among the first to go into exile;
your feasting and lounging will end.
Whoa, wait a minute. I thought God wants us to be comfortable. I thought God wants us to be at ease. Didn't Jesus say, "Come to me..... and I will give you rest"?
Here's the deal folks. If we look for peace, comfort and rest in anything but Christ, we will never get it. Oh, we might be physically comfortable for a while. We may have our nice houses, with our beautifully manicured lawns and landscaping on the outside, and easy chairs and beautiful cabinets and countertops on the inside. The trouble is that it is like putting lipstick on a pig if there is no peace or security in Christ.
The Israelites had this problem of complacency. They had it good. The Lord had delivered them from all their enemies and they were living high on the hog in the promised land. They had prosperity. They had physical safety. They seemingly had it all going on. On the inside though they were wrecked. They had no regard for God or the blessings he had given them or the mercy and grace he ad for them. They disregarded God and so they had lost their real security.
We could say that this is what is happening in our own nation, but instead off pointing to the people outside of us, we first need to look inward. On what are you basing your "security"? Is it on your finances? Is it on your health? Is it on how the people around you see you? Or is it on Christ alone?
Have you become complacent when it comes to Christ? Have you neglected and disregarded your praise and honor of him in search of something more comfortable, or shiny, or exciting, or entertaining?
I strongly encourage you to seek the Lord, to get to worship, to repent of your complacency and renew your zeal for the Lord that you would not lose sight of Him all together.
Let us pray: Lord, keep me from becoming complacent as the Israelites did, and when I do, shake me out of it, so that I don't lose sight of you. Amen.

Put Not Your Trust in Princes
Psalm 146
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
3 Put not your trust in princes,
in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
4 When his breath departs, he returns to the earth;
on that very day his plans perish.
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord his God,
6 who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them,
who keeps faith forever;
7 who executes justice for the oppressed,
who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free;
8 the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous.
9 The Lord watches over the sojourners;
he upholds the widow and the fatherless,
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
10 The Lord will reign forever,
your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the Lord!

DEVOTION: Luke 16:1-15 (ESV)
"The Parable of the Dishonest Manager"
"The Law and the Kingdom of God"
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed him. 15 And he said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
Some have confused this passage and thought that the "rich man" in this parable is Jesus or God. It is not. Jesus is not commending the shrewd but dishonest manager for his dishonesty. Nor is he telling us that making friends with money will get you into heaven. Those :eternal dwellings" that Jesus speaks of are not heaven. In fact, it is just the opposite. The eternal dwellings he is speaking of may very well be hell.
The main point of this parable is what comes next. "You cannot serve both god and money." I see this especially true when it comes to how people treat their jobs versus how they treat worship. You would never think of skipping work on Sunday morning if you had to work. In fact, many people skip church to go to work and think nothing of it. I even did that for a while when I was a college student. It is not a good thing.
Too many Christians in this world, and even, dare I say it, at St. John's, serve money before they serve God. My friends, this cannot be! Which one is going to save your soul? Which one is going to bring you to eternal life?
Don't get me wrong, worship is not mandatory for salvation. God isn't going to send you to hell because you skipped church for a month or even six months of Sundays in a row. At the same time, the more you neglect worship and your church family, and the more you stay away from it, the more in danger you are of losing your faith, because you are not receiving the gifts God gives in worship. The peace of Christ that goes beyond all understanding cannot reach you if you are not partaking of the gifts which provide that peace to you.
Every day it is important to get up from bed and to very intentionally and straight forwardly, keep your priorities straight. Start the day off with a devotion instead of with checking your bank account. Start the day in prayer not in worry. Start the day in God's grace, not in service to the almighty dollar.
I leave the end of this devotion up to Jesus. "YOU CANNOT SERVE BOTH GOD AND MONEY!" Get this worked out with God today!
Prayer: Lord, help me to serve you with the gifts you give me, especially my money.

"The Parable of the Dishonest Manager"
16 He also said to the disciples, "There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his possessions. 2 And he called him and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.' 3 And the manager said to himself, 'What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. 4 I have decided what to do, so that when I am removed from management, people may receive me into their houses.' 5 So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?' 6 He said, 'A hundred measures[a] of oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.' 7 Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' He said, 'A hundred measures[b] of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.' 8 The master commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness. For the sons of this world[c] are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light. 9 And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth,[d] so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.
10 "One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. 11 If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? 12 And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? 13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.""The Law and the Kingdom of God"
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed him. 15 And he said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

STEPHEN MINISTRY NEEDS MORE STEPHEN MINISTERS!!
Stephen ministry is a one on one caring ministry in which a person goes through 50 hours off training to be a better listener and care giver. Even if you don't become an active Stephen Minister, this training is beneficial just for your daily life!
Please consider going through the training! It is very beneficial.
And please consider becoming a Stephen Minister. It has been a huge help and benefit to our congregation for the last 13 years, and I would love to see it grow!
Call me at 636-359-1061 to let me know you're interested. Or go to www.stephenministry.org to learn more about it.
