A Message from Pastor Kaji

August 1st,2024 Categories: Weekly Letter

Sunday August 4

Dear Church:
 
In our text this week, we’re warned of false prophecies that can put us in a bad place. Imagination matters. Experience matters. But when people manipulate these – however artfully – to control us, something is certainly amiss. 

As you prepare yourself for worship this week, I invite you to reflect on God’s realness! When has God shown up in real and tangible ways in your life? What does God need to do to be tangible in your future? 

Can’t wait to explore these and hear about your reflections.

Pax Christi,

Pastor Kaji

 

SCRIPTURE
Deuteronomy 13:1-4 (NRSV):

1 “If prophets or those who divine by dreams appear among you and show you omens or portents, 2 and the omens or the portents declared by them take place, and they say, ‘Let us follow other gods’ (whom you have not known) ‘and let us serve them,’ 3 you must not heed the words of those prophets or those who divine by dreams, for the Lord your God is testing you, to know whether you indeed love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul. 4 The Lord your God you shall follow, him alone you shall fear, his commandments you shall keep, his voice you shall obey, him you shall serve, and to him you shall hold fast.
