Do you have what you need in the areas of Financial, Intellectual, Physical, Relational, and Spiritual capital? Or have you allowed your gifts to burn down to the nub? How do we show ourselves as ready for the Bridegrooms return, even if we don't feel like we have all that we need right now? What does God have to give us and how does He give His capitals of love?

Starting with the Gospel reading and Jesus’ statement that wisdom is justified by her children, we examine what the wisdom of the Reformation was. In Romans, we find that this wisdom is the full justification of the human being with God through nothing but God’s own grace. We revel together in this wisdom and continue to stand in this tradition of the Reformation some almost 500 years later.

Some love songs are just about our praise to our beloved. Love songs that describe the attributes of the beloved are often this way. We hear “the way your blue eyes sparkle” and we think of the way that our lover’s green eyes sparkle. Pslam 96 engages in this kind of love song showing attributes of the God whom we worship and praise.

It’s hard to get around the familiarity we all have with Psalm 23 and view it in a new light, but that the first lines of the Psalm, “…I shall not want…” reveal a similarity to love songs that talk about how the sun and the moon rise and set and the lover may be oblivious to these things if his/her lover is (or is not) around. The Psalm also has a feeling of”no matter what happens, as long as you’re with me, everything is ok.”
