Genesis 37

A Brief Introduction to the Lutheran Confessions: Lesson 5 - The Formula of Concord: "The Theologians' Confession"

This class was about Pastor Aaron's trip to Ethiopia and Turkey.

“FIT” is a year-long theme for our life together at Faith Lutheran Church. It is a journey of exploration—what it means to be healthy in body, mind, and spirit. We are examining whole-person wellness, understanding that when one area of life is out of balance, all other areas feel the impact. Spiritual fitness affects physical fitness; financial health impacts relational health, and so on.

The environment in which we live, the air we breathe, the food we eat … they all contain toxins that are harmful to our bodies, which lead to dysfunction, cancer and other health problems. Therefore, “detox” diets are popular these days. The idea is to flush these destructive toxins from our bodies in order to renew greater function.

Much like our bodies, our souls are also subject to toxic substances that lead to spiritual dysfunction. Anger, resentment, envy, pride, and much more, all make us spiritually unhealthy. “DETOX”, our devotion series and weekend teaching during the season of Lent, is all about reducing the impact of these “toxins” on our souls. Flushing the toxic influences will make us more “FIT” for the work God has given us to do at home, at work, at school, in the church, and in the community. Today we’ll examine the toxic effects of bitterness and the bad fruit it can produce.
