You will never know the problem of the Lord looking at you and saying that He never knew you. This verse is used very often to steal your comfort away, but fret not, Christ has died for you, and delivered his Gifts to you in the waters of baptism and His body and blood shed for you. The world’s churches are filled with people who will tell you that God helps those who help themselves. You aren’t the center of your religion though, Christ and his sacrifice are the center of your religion. You must recognize teachers and preachers by what they preach, because you know what the Gospel sounds like. You know what Christ and Him crucified for you sounds like.

Host: Rev. George Borghardt, Pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Bossier City, Louisiana and president of the youth organization Higher Things, Inc.
