When someone cuts you off in traffic, is your first inclination to speed up, roll down your window, flash a big smile and declare "May God bless your day?" Let's face it, when someone wrongs us it is hard to love them. But, that's exactly how God responds to us when we wrong Him. "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) Jesus tells us "By this people will know you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." (John 13:34) So how can we show love even when it is hard? Ambassadors of Reconciliation reproducible Bible study “Love Others” provides comfort and hope based on God’s promises. Be one of the FIRST 25 to download this Bible study for FREE!!

Check out the October 2021 Gift Planning Newsletter, FOREVER GIFT.
A builder needs the right tool to perform his work. God’s people need the right tools to make the right gifts, the right way, from their estates to family and ministry. God’s people support ministry throughout their lives. They enjoy using God’s gifts for the right reasons. What if that same giving could keep on happening, even after being called home to heaven? A personal endowment fund could extend that giving for a term of years, or even until the Lord comes back. Your LCMS Foundation Gift Planning Counselor can lead you through a process to plan what you want to do, and how to do it. Contact Eileen Fitzenreiter at [email protected] or 419-822-6461. |
