READ THE NEW TESTAMENT AND THEN TAKE A QUIZ: We will complete the Old Testament in the next eight days and start reading from Matthew on the 2nd of October. At this point in the Bible reading program we have finished reading the Bible through Joel, including the book of Hosea. By having Hosea marry a prostitute God used the prophet's life as a symbol of the unfaithful nation of Israel's relationship with their Creator, since no matter how much God loved and cared for His people they continued to whore after other gods—figures of metal and wood fashioned by their own hands and unable to talk or to save—thus we read in Hosea 7:4: “They are all adulterers." Hosea and his wife, Gomer, had three children, two boys and a girl. Question: What did God tell Hosea to name his youngest son? a) Dung Hill b) Jezreel c) Not My People or d) Great Joy. Check your answer here. The psalmist says, “I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you” (Ps 119:11), and in a similar fashion Paul wrote, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth" (2Tim 2:15). Every Christian should have the same goal of knowing the whole counsel of God's Word and rightly applying it, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to their life in order to live a holy life separated from this sinful world unto God.
Read the Bible, then take a weekly quiz (here). Our next quiz will be posted on September 28, 2019.

LIFE QUOTES SEPTEMBER 22, 2019
“Let us stand firm for the rights of all people, especially for the most vulnerable, defenseless of them all, the unborn children … The Church has confessed from the beginning that each life is created by God, that human life is the supreme gift of the Creator. Human life is not given unconditionally but is given under the condition that we will be responsible for preserving it.” Abbot Tryphon, Vashon Island, Washington – A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life • www.lutheransforlife.org
STEWARDSHIP BULLETIN SENTENCES SEPT 22, 2019
Proper 20
Luke 16:8 – “For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.” The sons of this world know that they should use their wealth wisely to provide for their future. Shouldn’t we “sons of light” know that the wealth God has allowed us to manage should be managed for God’s purposes in the roles He has given us in Church, home, and society?
