Sept. 3rd 2023 - St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran, Howards Grove, WI

Greetings St. Paul's Family, Jesus never promised being his disciple would be easy. He said the opposite. _The student is not above his teacher_. And if the world persecuted Jesus, what Christian today can rightly expect to have an easy life on this earth? Will you take up your cross and follow? Will you devour God's word and hold to it? Will you be a wall like Jeremiah and not let people sway you into wickedness? This world is groaning as in the pains of childbirth. It won't last. But those who stand with Jesus will, forever. Trust him and follow him, no matter the cost. God bless your holiday weekend! Pastor Mueller
