Daily CLC Prayer verse

“He went on from there and entered their synagogue. And a man was there with a withered hand. And they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse him. He said to them, “Which one of you who has a sheep, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And the man stretched it out, and it was restored, healthy like the other. But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him.”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12:9-14‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Jesus says, “So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” The Pharisees created their own set of laws to go along with the Old Testament and they used them to govern in the day. Jesus was not under their authority, but under His. Many Christians are using books outside the Bible to create their own laws and doctrines today. The authors use mental gymnastics to say certain parts of the Bible can be thrown out or reinterpreted in order to fit their own social agenda. This was done earlier in our country with racism. Many Christian leaders used mental gymnastics to say that racism was ok and see the damage that has done. There will be similar damage in the future with the current “reinterpreting” of the Bible. Please pray that we and our friends read and know the Bible. Please pray for the Wernowsky family and I’m sure they want you to love on your family today.
