Lectionary for 7/7/08

Today's readings are Judges 2.6-23 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Judges+2.6-23 ) and Acts 13.13-41 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Acts+13.13-41 ).
 
See today the way that people who have heard the truth, God's revealed word of salvation, act.  Within a generation they walk away from their faith.  They quickly depart from what the Lord has revealed to them.  Swiftly we return to following the ways that seem right to us rather than the ways that are right before God.  We rush to our destruction.  And we who are in Christ are no different.  Though some of us are quicker to believe and more steadfast in looking to Jesus our hope of salvation, we are sinners all, ready to follow the path to death.
 
How important it is that we keep reminding ourselves and one another of the truth of the Gospel.  Exhort one another today.
