Rev. Keith Weise, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Communities in Sauk Rapids, MN joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Genesis 34.

In horror, we hear of the depth of darkness in our world. Rape, lies, murder, and deceit make this chapter quite possibly the most sinful chapter in the Bible. One sin led to another—to another—to another. We pray that our Gracious God would prevent situations in our world and by His Holy Spirit that He would lead all of us to repentance for our small sins that would lead to other sins. We pray for our government justice system to punish lawbreakers in a Godly way. “Lord God, we ask for Your grace to be upon those who have suffered abuse. Keep those who are tempted for abuse from these sins and keep us from temptation of our own sins that will lead to worse sins. Keep our governing authorities strengthened to protect the weak and bring worldly justice. Bless and keep ministries around the world who serve those who have suffered abuse that they may find healing in Christ. Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. Amen”
