Have you ever been scandalized? That is caught in a sin or uncomfortable situation that made you wish you were somewhere far away? To Jesus, the scandal we are to avoid is causing others to sin. We often get comfortable with our sins and think we need not repent of them. But woe to those who think that way! Fortunately, the scandal of the cross is the way out and the way to forgiveness and right living.

The Divine Service for the Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost (Sept 19, 2021). God’s Word in the epistle of James is often hard to hear and understand. This is the result of our sin and inability to understand. So we need the Holy Spirit to enlighten our hearts and invigorate our lives that reflect the love of God who cares enough to take us aside once in a while in order to correct sinful behavior. This is the wisdom from above that pays dividends for eternity!

The Divine Service for the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost (September 5, 2021). Jesus heals a deaf and mute man by His word and touch. When the man realized what had happened, he praised God and told everyone he could. We also have been touched by Jesus in word and sacrament. We also get to praise God and tell everyone what He has done by His cross and resurrection!
