Stewardship

Matthew 4:7 Jesus said to him, "Again it is written. . .” Jesus defeats Satan in our place – not by using His power as God, but by His perfect obedience in His perfect humanity. Jesus defeats Satan not by miracles, but by quoting the Scriptures and living according to it. This should cause us great joy for two reasons. First, because we see Jesus win the victory for us. Second, because here Jesus shows us how to stand in that victory: on the Word of God alone.

Life Message


“Like other bonds—friendship, relationships between siblings, parents and children—marriage involves a union of hearts and minds … it’s all-encompassingness refers to its distinctive feature, that is, in addition to being a union of hearts and minds, it’s a bodily union, where the bodily union is made possible and intelligible by the sexual reproductive complimentary-ness of man and woman … an all-encompassing union … that is pledged to permanence and to sexuality fidelity, that which strengthens marriages when respected. Marriage unites husband and wife holistically.” Dr. Robert George, is McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University and director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions – – A “Life Quote” from Lutherans For Life – www.lutheransforlife.org
