Devotions from Steadfast Lutherans

“If anyone loves Me, he will keep My Word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make our home with him” (John 14:23). When God forgives all your sin through the mouth of your pastor, hear that Word of God and keep it.

SATISFACTION VS. FRUITS OF REPENTANCE

But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself. Philippians 3:20-21

Lord God Heavenly Father, soften the hearts of those who do not believe in Your Son. Forgive us for when we have desired to reject faithful preachers who have called our sins out. Lead us to continue to confess our sins and relish in the free and full forgiveness that Your Son paid for with His innocent suffering and death for us. In the Name of Jesus. Amen

We apologize for the delay in posting today's episode.

“I acknowledged  my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, ‘I will confess my  transgressions to the Lord,’ and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.”

I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Ps. 121:1-2

She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.” Matthew 15:27

Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults. Psalm 19:12

What is Confession? Christians need to be taught the answer to this question.  Biblical teaching is different than that of the Roman Catholic Church which usually comes to mind when confession is brought up.
