Corruption: Word Ambassadors: Prayers and Poetry

Reading: Acts 2: 39-41

“’For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him.’ And he testified with many other arguments and exhorted them saying, ‘Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added.”

Not a one time deal with a clock ticking down the minutes to expiration.

Throughout every generation. Timeless. Cannot be revoked because the Lord God Almighty has given His word. His covenant—which stands forever.

Each generation also faces corruption. Each has the opportunity to challenge falseness—resist lies—refuse—choose forgiveness.

One to one—heart to heart—unlimited.

What a hope to cherish alongside our children and grandchildren. What a gift to pass on to them. Even though we cannot choose for them we can pray. Share the truth. Share our struggles. Share the changes a life with Christ brings.

Lord, give us Your words to reveal Your promise to our family and friends and strangers that none should be lost or denied Your message of life everlasting. Help us to face our own darkness so that our words and our actions are in sync with Your light.

Psalm of Worship: Psalm 27: 2

“When evildoers assail me to devour my flesh—

my adversaries and foes—they shall stumble and fall.”

Redeem: Word Ambassadors: Prayers and Poetry

            Redeem

            Like leprosy seen

            sin unseen brings

            decay, corruption

            abandonment

            souls lost

            removed from love.

            God alone keeps

            watch, free from

            stain stands by

            waiting to redeem

            all with compassion

            regardless how long.
