Rally Day is Sunday September 7 on that day our Sunday morning schedule will resume with Sunday School and Adult Bible Class beginning at 9:00 AM and the Divine Service returning to 10:30 AM. The LWML and Sunday School is teaming up on several activities after church that day with including a cookout. It is a great Sunday to resume your worship after the hot days of summer and learn more about God’s word. The Sunday morning Adult class will begin a class on Angels and the week day classes that begin the following week on September 10 and 11 will study the Book of Daniel.Luther on Bible Study“All God’s words demand this. We must not skim over them and imagine we have thoroughly understood them, like the frivolous, smug, and bored souls who, when they hear some word of God once, consider it old hat and cast about for something new. They think they have thoroughly mastered all they have heard. This is a dangerous disease, a clever and malicious trick of the devil. Thus he makes people bold, smug, forward, and ready for every kind of error and schism. ….All this, as I see it, is the result of reading and listening to God’s Word carelessly instead of concentrating on it with fear, humility, and diligence.I have often felt this particular devil and temptation myself, and even today I cannot guard and cross myself against it too carefully. …...I dare not say in my heart: “The Lord’s Prayer is worn out; you know the Ten Commandments; you can recite the Creed.” I study them daily and remain a pupil of the Catechism. I feel, too, that this helps me a lot, and I am convinced by experience that God’s Word can never be entirely mastered, but that Ps. 147 speaks truly: “His understanding is beyond measure” (v. 5), or Ecclesiasticus: “Who drinks of me shall thirst even more after me” (24:29). “ (From his commentary on Psalm 118)God BlessPastor
