Stewardship

John 10:16 – “And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice.” On their own sheep are in great danger. They need a shepherd to guide them. The sheep know the Shepherd’s voice, and we delight to go where He leads. Of course, the world, the devil and our own sinful flesh want to pull us in another direction. Namely, they want to pull us in the direction of death. But following the Shepherd means life. So, no matter how difficult the path is, let us follow the Shepherd!


Life Message

Dear Lord, keep us patient as we wait for You. Amen.” Rev. Paul Koelpin, Martin Luther College - A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life www.lutheransforlife.org
