A READING FROM THE BOOK OF CONCORDLARGE CATECHISM

THE TEN COMMANDMENTSTWENTIETH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

Condensed from CONCORDIA: THE LUTHERAN CONFESSIONS, copyright2005,2006 by Concordia Publishing House. Used by permission. All rights reserved. Topurchase a copy of CONCORDIA, call 800-325-3040.

Here you have the meaning of the true honor and worship of

God, which pleases God, and which He commands under pen-

alty of eternal wrath. The heart knows no other comfort or

confidence than in Him. It must not allow itself to be torn from

Him. But, for Him, it must risk and disregard everything upon

earth. On the other hand, you can easily see and sense how

the world practices only false worship and idolatry. For no peo-ple have ever been so corrupt that they did not begin and con-

tinue some divine worship. Everyone has set up as his special

god whatever he looked to for blessings, help, and comfort.

For example, the heathen who put their trust in power and do-

minion elevated Jupiter as the supreme god. Others, who were

bent on riches, happiness, or pleasure, and a life of ease, ele-

vated Hercules, Mercury, Venus, or other gods. Pregnantwomen elevated Diana or Lucina, and so on. So everyone

made his god that interest to which his heart was inclined. So

even in the mind of the heathen to have a god means to trust

and believe. But their error is this: their trust is false and

wrong. For their trust is not placed in the only God, beside

whom there is truly no God in heaven or upon earth [Isaiah

44:6]. Therefore, the heathen really make their self-invented

notions and dreams of God an idol. Ultimately, they put their

trust in that which is nothing. (paragraphs 16-20)

Prayer and Study

Date: October 18 - October 24

Luther Quote: Only faith apprehends the promise, believes the

assurance God gives, and extends the hand to accept what God is

offering. This work is peculiar to faith alone. Love, hope, and

patience are concerned about other matters. They have other ar-

eas in which they maintain themselves; for they do not embracethe promise but carry out the commands.

Bible readings for the week:

Sunday: Psalm 119:89-96; Ezekiel 25-27

Monday: Psalm 119:97-104; Ezekiel 28-30Tuesday: Psalm 119:105-112; Ezekiel 31-33Wednesday: Psalm 119:113-120; Ezekiel 34-36Thursday: Psalm 119:121-128; Ezekiel 37-39Friday: Psalm 119:129-136; Ezekiel 40-42Saturday: Psalm 119:137-144; Ezekiel 43-45

Venezuela October 16-30The Lutheran Church of Venezuela (ILV) currently has 19 pastors

and 19 congregationsbut is hoping to train many more pastors

and plant many more congregations in the years to come.


11/12

Daily Prayers:

Sunday: For the 19 congregations of the ILV, as their members wor-ship together, learn and serve together, and bear witness to the Gospelof Christ in their communities.

Monday: With thanksgiving at the end of 2008, with the ordination of11 new pastors in a few months, the ILV now has one pastor for each ofits 19 congregations! Praise God for providing these shepherds to teachand lead His sheep.

Tuesday: For the new missions throughout Venezuela. May thesenew outposts of preaching faith in Jesus alone reach many who do not

yet have faith in Christ alone as their Savior, and if its the Lords will,become new ILV congregations.

Wednesday: For the theological education by extension program,Juan de Frias, through which new pastors and lay leaders are trained inthe ILV. Give thanks for the 50-plus pastors that the Juan de Frias pro-gram has trained over the years.

Thursday: For the students currently studying towards becoming pas-tors through Juan de Friasmay they grow in their knowledge and loveof the Lord in their hearts, souls, and minds. Pray that new studentswould be identified for the coming year and that the program wouldremain strong.

Friday: For the 50-plus women completing deaconess studiesthrough the Juan de Frias program in their congregations and at inten-sive courses held throughout the country.

Saturday: For the seven vicars who are completing their vicaragesduring 2009. Ask the Lord to teach them much about godly leadershipthrough their ministry and ongoing education during their vicarages,and that He would provide direction for the future.
