(ESV)\n\n        Moses instructed the children of Israel:\n        And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of\n        you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his\n        ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all\n        your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the\n        commandments and statutes of the LORD, which I am\n        commanding you today for your good?\n\n\n        Who do you trust?  Where do you turn when everything seems\n   to be falling apart?  In whom, in what, do you invest your time,\n   talents, and treasures?  That is your god.\n\n        Of course, the biggest false god is money, followed by other\n   possessions.  Look at the value of your dollar now as opposed to\n   a half-decade ago.  That money is not worth as much as it was a\n   year ago.  We work for that money, we save that money, but in the\n   end all of our schemes to use that resource in our old age seem\n   to fail.\n\n        The same is true of possessions, such as land, precious\n   metals, or collectible automobiles.  Eventually we serve them.\n   They don't provide long-term benefits, for often that which seems\n   of value to us is of no use to others.  Our children, our\n   neighbors, simply don't want those things we hold dear.\n\n        In the end, anything created can become a false god.  When\n   we need the assurance that someone cares, created things simply\n   fail.\n\n        But we all have a god, something we trust when life gives us\n   tornadoes, floods, sickness, and death.  We confess that the one\n   True God created heaven and earth, thus stands above creation.\n   We also confess that He showers us with His love, grace, and\n   mercy.\n\n        May our Lord open our eyes to see Him as our only hope in\n   time of need.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 1, 2024 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2369","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2024"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2369","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2369"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2369\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2370,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2369\/revisions\/2370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2369"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2369"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
