Luke 14: 1, 7-14 September 1, 2013 TEXT: "For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted" Luke 14:11 There is an episode in Luke's Gospel in which someone asks Jesus, "Lord, will those who are saved be few?" (Lk. 13:23). Judging by our own experience, we can almost hear what was going on in the questioner's mind. "Saving me won't be any problem for God. It's easy for God to see I'm on the inside track. I'm one of the good guys. But all those others out there. It's easy to see that not many of them are going to make it. I'll ask Him, 'Lord, will those who are saved be few?'" To which God's answer might well be, "Fewer than you think, 'FOR ALL WHO EXALT THEMSELVES WILL BE HUMBLED" (Lk. 14:11).

Luke 12: 49-56 Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost TEXT: "I have come to bring fire to the earth" Luke 12:49 A pastor was standing at the Church doorway, shaking hands with the parishioners as they filed out. The pastor spotted a man who, prior to that Sunday morning, hadn't seen the inside of a Church in ten years. He pulled the man aside and said, "Glad to see you again. Are you ready for service in the Army of the Lord?" The man looked all around, then whispered in the pastor's ear, "I'm in the Secret Service." 8/11/2013 0 Comments All Of YouPsalm 67
