(ESV)\n\n        On Sunday we prayed the historic Collect for the Third\n   Sunday in Lent.\n        O God, whose glory it is always to have mercy, be\n        gracious to all who have gone astray from Your ways and\n        bring them again with penitent hearts and steadfast\n        faith to embrace and hold fast the unchangeable truth\n        of Your Word.\n\n\n        Although we don't like to admit that we live in a binary\n   world, the truth is simple.  You cannot be neutral about the\n   message of Christianity.  Jesus said: ``Whoever is not with me is\n   against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.''\n   Either we are filled with evil, or we are filled with the Holy\n   Spirit.  Either we desire to sin, or we repent of our daily\n   failures.\n\n        Jesus also explained that our spirit cannot remain empty.\n        When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it\n        passes through waterless places seeking rest, and\n        finding none it says, I will return to my house from\n        which I came.  And when it comes, it finds the house\n        swept and put in order.  Then it goes and brings seven\n        other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and\n        dwell there. And the last state of that person is worse\n        than the first.\n\n\n        Our prayer is for all who hear the Word of God to truly\n   believe it and to trust in Christ Jesus as their Savior from sin\n   and death.  Our prayer is that we daily repent, and daily study\n   God's Word, and daily trust in God above all things.\n\n        Grant this, Lord, for the sake of Jesus Christ.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 11, 2026 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4554","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=4554"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4554\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4555,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4554\/revisions\/4555"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4554"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
